The Forest House, near Yreka, California, was built in 1852. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1] The listing included six contributing buildings and three non-contributing ones.[2]

It is a building complex that was the center of the Forest House Ranch, "centered upon the Forest House itself, a two-story, wood-frame, building built circa 1852 on the Yreka-Fort Jones Road." It includes 19th century barns and outbuildings.

It is located at 4204 California State Route 3, on its south side, about 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Yreka.[2] It was built upon what was originally a private toll road[2] and served as a hotel and a meeting hall.[1]
