Located on a large wooded lot in Monte Rio, three blocks from the Russian River, this beautifully crafted redwood house has been called an artistic masterpiece by many who have visited. Willowhaven (we named it this because of the willows on the property and it's location on Willow Road) is the perfect setting for that luxurious romantic getaway, a honeymoon, or simply an opportunity to recharge one's batteries surrounded by the best that the Russian River has to offer.

This is a 2 story house with open space in both the lower level and the upper level. The kitchen, dining and living area, and bathroom are downstairs and upstairs is a large master bedroom and a second bath. The entire property is surrounded by a huge redwood deck with a hot tub encircled by 7 redwood trees, lots of comfortable deck furniture and a hammock.

In summer, dine on the large outdoor decks or laze in our hammock, or on our plentiful deck furniture. Enjoy late night dips in the outdoor hot tub under a cathedral of redwoods. Take a 5 minute walk to our semi-private beach where you can swim or kayak or bask in the sun. In winter, cozy up in a well insulated and beautifully appointed space and view the rain falling against the many windows that provide light and restful views of the redwoods.

Spring and fall provide opportunities to view the natural beauty of wildflowers or autumn's foliage. Hike at the ocean (15 minutes away), bike ride or horseback ride in Armstrong State Park, golf at Northwood Golf Course (a nine hole public course set amidst the redwoods), shop in Guerneville or wine taste at many of the local wineries. Delicious dining at some of the area's great restaurants is available any season.

We're sure you won't be disappointed with the beauty, casual elegance, and modern comfort that Willowhaven provides all throughout the year.

                My husband and I stayed here one weekend as a quick getaway from San Francisco. The redwood hot tub was magical under the huge redwoods that surround it. The house was just the right size for a couple and my husband enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. I look back on this quick trip with found memories - it was truly like escaping somewhere magical. I hope we can stay here again soon.

                We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. If you are looking for a different wine country experience - a bit off the beaten-path and close to the coast - this property and location is for you. We especially enjoyed morning tea and evening wine on the beautiful deck, surrounded by the redwoods. We would also recommend taking in a sunset at The River's End restaurant and brunch at Cape Fear Cafe if you should stay here.

                Willowheaven is amazing. It really is an artistic masterpiece but comfortable at the same time. The redwoods provide a tranquil atmosphere and add to the beauty of the property. We Hope to stay here again.

                When we arrived at this home felt as though you forgot we were coming. Only two clean towels in the bathroom which did not smell good. Garbage in all of the cans, the only dish towel provided as more like a cleaning rag and had hair on it! I had to wash towels, sheets and clean the bathroom. Maybe take a look under the furniture some time. Also, very false advertising! Basement with game board. How about disgusting storage area if you dare go down there to do laundry! The glorious hot tub is a disgusting bowl of dirty water you don't dare put your body in. Great disappointment and very false advertising. May want to mention what a horrible neighborhood this house is in too. Would not recommen to anyone.

                Owner response: There obviously was a miscommunication with our housecleaners and the house was not cleaned before these guests arrived. If they had called and told us we would have had the house cleaned immediately. We also would have returned their money. As it turned out we didn't know there was a problem until we read this review several months later. It seems as though once angered these guests found fault with everything. As you can see other guests have given nothing other than rave reviews. We are so sorry these people had such a negative time.

                We spent the week at Willowhaven and what a fabulous vacation. We went kayaking, horseback riding, wine tasting, hiking and bicycling. And we always enjoyed coming home to the comfort and beauty of Willowhaven. I would highly recommend this rental and hope to stay here again soon.

              Why the Owner Chose Monte Rio:
              We have always loved the redwoods and when we found this lot we had to purchase it. In addition Monte Rio is an easy 1.5 hour getaway from Oakland, CA where we live. We supervised the building of this lovely property and picked out everything down to the light bulbs in the ceiling. We're excited to share our home away form home and hope you will enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy our visits.
