offers comfort among the trees in this home away from home

Among cedars and redwoods, Jenner Cabin rests quietly on the edge of a ravine, poised between ground and canopy. The approach is understated — a path, a bridge, a rise — before the forest opens and the cabin reveals itself in light and timber. Its long, lean form traces the contour of the land, its roof stretching outward as a gesture of protection. Traditional wood framing and selective steel structure support the broad roof above. Inside the air is warm with wood and filtered sun and the distinction between shelter and wilderness fades. A durable metal roof and cladding form a weatherproof shell while the interior’s warm wood finishes create a sense of softness and retreat. Jenner Cabin is a sanctuary not from the forest, but within it — a place where simplicity, quiet, and craft align with the calm of the land itself.
