About this cabin rental
Willowhaven is a beautifully crafted redwood home on a generous lot dotted with fruit trees. An expansive wraparound deck encapsulates seven glorious redwood trees and bends around even more. With a mixture of shade and bright light, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or to simply recharge your batteries. In fair weather, BBQ, dine outside, slumber in the hammock, or stargaze. When it rains, luxuriate in the hot tub or listen to the storm from the cozy interior. High ceilings and abundant windows make all type of weather lovely at Willowhaven. A redwood “cathedral” surrounds the hot tub and up-lights show off the beauty of our trees.
Inside, the master bedroom features a King-size bed with adjusting frame. Lift or lower the back or foot sections of the bed separately and settle in to watch TV or snuggle while the wood burning stove warms the room. Both full bathrooms are substantial – making this a great home to visit as a couple, with friends, or a small family. The fully stocked kitchen and many places to dine, inside and out, ensure you have room to prepare gourmet meals with local produce and wines.
You’re minutes from the coast, Armstrong Woods State Park, Northwood Golf Course, and the Russian River. Quaint shops, casual and fine dining, and world (and locally) famous wineries are within a short drive.

My husband and our fur babies spent three nights at this wonderful location! The hot tub under the redwoods….priceless! Everything was provided for a very relaxing stay…loved..loved…loved it!

This is a very unique property for sure. however, upon entering the home the first thing you see is a dirty rug. I understand It's pet friendly home, but there are stains all over the carpets everwhere. I didn't want to take my shoes off. couch was also dirty. everything else was beautiful. If this problem was corrected it would be lovely place to stay.

This cabin, Willohaven was over the top. One of the nicest places that I have rented and I was so happy with it. Those huge redwoods surrounding the hot tub was beautiful. If you ever start I. The Monte Rio area, stay here, you will not regret it.

This house was perfect for my son and me. The location was perfect in almost every way- walking distance to a nice beach on the river and walking distance (for us) to everything else in Monte Rio. I walked our dog several miles everyday through the neighborhood and out along the river and Dutch creek. This is a great house if you are traveling with a dog. The fenced yard is huge. The deck is not gated, but our dog is not a wanderer so that wasn’t an issue for us.
The only drawbacks were looking out at the neighboring houses which are in need of some TLC and the neighbors across the street who had ongoing arguments. But the beautiful redwoods and house more than made up for those annoyances.
We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Willowhaven. It's close to a great river spot to swim in with our kids. We tried a spot in Guerneville, but it was only for camp guests, while this was for the community and great during the week with fewer locals or tourists. The hot tub is phenomenal. Really sells the place. Good for a family of 4 or a couple.

The place is awesome. I love Monte Rio.
had a lovely time. Only note would be to pair down on some of the artwork and tchotchkes.
Thank you though for a wonderful stay! Redwood spa is awesome (down to two jets, it seems). jan

I’m not sure if we were tired or if it was the quiet woods but we slept until 2pm our first day. Very comfortable bed. House has everything you need. It is not isolated, there are homes all around, but the trees provide a lot of privacy. GREAT trees.

We wanted to get away from all the stresses of life and boy was this the perfect place to do it. The surrounding area is beautiful and tranquil. The inside of the house was well acquainted and provided us with all that we needed. We loved the sleep number bed and being able to sit up and watch a movie in it. The hot tub with the redwoods surrounding it made it so difficult to leave every night. It’s fairly close to wineries (about 30 minutes) but the lovely drive made it so it wasn’t an issue. There’s a Safeway nearby, which we went to to stalk up on breakfast goods so that we could enjoy the deck in the morning. The home was so cozy to be in, many days we left late and only made it to a couple of wineries 😬. But it was the perfect! We went to the river on one of the days. It’s only a 5 minute walk through the neighborhood. The river was GORGEOUS and we lingered out there for over 2 hours. Love, love, love this place. I’m already trying to figure out dates for me to go back :)

The house was very clean and comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was very spacious. We had our 2 small dogs with us and they had a hard time negotiating the stairs, but that is no fault of the property. Having a large bathroom downstairs as well as upstairs was very helpful. The large outside deck was covered with many sets of tables and chairs so it was hard to maneuver around them and they all needed a good cleaning after the winter. It was chilly in the morning and we were busy most of the day so we had no reason to use the outside though my husband did use the hot tub one night and enjoyed it.

It's a beautiful place. It's hard to find so be careful on the drive. But it's such a great place. The outside hottub has a vibe with those enormous redwoods surrounding it. Very peaceful.

Great house well located to Monte Rio and Guerneville.

This property is absolutely beautiful. The deck is huge under the big redwoods and has so many sitting areas. The downstairs area is quaint and cozy. The upstairs bedroom is very large and beautiful with high ceilings. We loved the way the house was decorated. Thank you for opening up your home💕

The property was amazing and perfect for my husband, myself, and our furbaby. Only a few small problems: dishes were not well washed (may have been their dishwasher) and the jets for the hot-tub and inside bath were not working. Other than that is was amazing. Would definitely come again!
