Description

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.

Super cute cozy house! Felt right at home once we got there. Super quiet neighborhood and nice to walk around. Great little kitchen as well, lots of space for a couple and a little pup. Hot tub was also clutch! Love the trees circling you. NOTE: Neighbors are SUPER close and there is nothing that really blocks the view from the patio so you are basically in the hot tub with all neighbors being able to watch you from both sides. So it doesn't really feel as secluded as you'd want. Otherwise, super close drive to Guerneville!-via Airbnb

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 every day 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.- via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Kate, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being wonderful guests! In the future if you have any concerns at all we are here to help- This home is in a very quiet neighborhood so we are surprised to hear about loud neighbors. Thank you for your review!

Hello,I must say that this was one of the best rentals that I have started at. Your home is beautiful and quite cozy. I felt so relaxed here. The huge redwoods around the cabin is just stunning. The cabin was equipped with everything, nothing missing. I was so relaxed here. The best part was it was so quiet. The day of rain here was so tranquil. We never left the cabin due to being in a state of pure relaxation. We loved the cabin 100%. Would I stay here again? ABSOLUTELY! The hot tub was amazing tucked in between the 7 huge redwoods.

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.-via Vrbo

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 stock 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 :)-via Vrbo

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.-via Vrbo

Loved the home it was beautiful and immaculate. Great location super close to the Russian River, Guerneville and Bodega Bay. Perfect for a romantic weekend away and my boyfriend proposed so it will always have a special place in my heart. The only negative was how close the home was to other homes. We thought from the picture that it was a little more secluded but it didn’t stop us from having a great weekend. Tons of redwoods around the home. Loved the deck and the spa. We definitely will be back.-via Airbnb
