Ok, when dealing with a forest setting you have a few options...

First, is the house still in use? or something abandoned? If the house is still in use, it would most likely have a SMALL clearing arround it (like when you build a house in the woods you cut down the trees where you will build it first etc..) If it's an abandoned house in the forest, you can make it very hard to get to, BUT* If this is the case I would STRONGLY sugest making custom graphics to show that this building it falling apart, e.g. edit a picture of the house and make it cracked, possibly tilt the roof to make it look like some supporting beambs collapased etc. also, some moss of vines or something growing over the house would help create that "feel". I don't think this is what you wanted though.

and as for being deep in the forest, I would try making biger clusters of trees, with mostly trees around and little openings thus creating somewhat of a random path, perhaps adding a night-time bakpal would help create the effect if your looking for a dark forest type of feel...
