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.

We stayed here while attending a friend’s wedding in Sonoma and knew we wanted something a little unique and this place absolutely delivered. Because of the wedding, we needed an iron and ironing board (not something we usually care about), and the owners had it ready for us right when we arrived. Super responsive and thoughtful.Check-in and check-out were seamless. For a couple, the space is perfect. Super cozy bed, and having full bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs was a great bonus.The hot tub was incredible. I mean, come on! It's right in the middle of a redwood fairy circle. The deck and yard were equally inviting; we spent time just sitting outside, having lunch, and relaxing.We saw a few comments about the neighborhood but honestly didn’t understand them. It’s quiet, peaceful, and an easy trip into town for coffee or breakfast. We also loved the location for exploring: one day in the redwoods (Armstrong Woods) and another out at Shell Beach and Goat Rock hunting for the coolest rocks and sea glass.We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals over the years, and this is easily top three. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Willowhaven was the perfect location for a small group of friends to relax after a busy, week-long work event. The hot tub is awesome under the towering redwoods. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay, including a cozy fireplace. The pull out sofa bed was incredibly comfortable and easy to put away for the day. So for those who plan to use that second bed, know that you'll be comfortable. Great locations for food and hikes in Monte Rio nearby, and all that Guernville has to offer is just a short drive away.

This property was VERY comfy! Nestled in Redwood trees with a comfy cabin feel! We had access to plenty of trails and beach spots! The cabin was well equipped with all the cooking items youd need!

Overall positive experience, but the listing doesn’t fully match the listing. Upstairs gets very hot. The bed is very old and not comfortable. There was loud construction outside and there wasn’t a ton of privacy from the neighbors. There was lots of poison oak in the backyard so we couldn’t let out dog off leash. The deck was gorgeous though and we enjoyed the hammock and the hot tub.
