The Oak Haven! Private, Nature Retreat with Hot Tub!

Welcome to The Valley Of The Moon! Glen Ellen, a little gem in the heart of the rolling green hills of wine country, is only 20 minutes from downtown Sonoma and prides itself on offering something amazing for everyone. Many gorgeous state parks and fabulous vineyards are just a few minutes away. Enjoy wilderness and fine wine at your doorstep in a beautiful, private home away from home at The Oak Haven. Relax, take a load off, you deserve it!

TOT certificate number: 1387N

Nestled among giant oak trees, hugging a sprawling forest and across from Morton's Warm Springs (open only during the summer months), The Oak Haven offers the welcome retreat of a private sanctuary.

Enjoy a glass of wine from one of the many local vineyards and see the deer, turkey and other birds that often emerge from the neighboring woods. When it rains, a gurgling stream borders the property flowing amid grey stones and golden leaves.

Featuring a spacious deck, grill, outdoor table with umbrella and ample seating, The Oak Haven is the perfect spot for drinking and dining in the sunshine or shade. Enjoy a hot, bubbling soak under the brilliant stars after dinner in a comfortable six person hot tub!

High, sloping, wooden ceilings, large windows, a dining table for six, hardwood floors, cozy couch, well appointed lighting and a pellet-burning fireplace create a relaxing experience with natural lighting and a quaint, rustic feel.

For indoor entertainment, high speed internet is readily available. Enjoy your preferred media on our portable 50 inch flat screen Apple TV and surround sound speaker bar.

For reading enthusiasts, there's a plush lounging chair with a foot rest by the fireplace. Local hiking, biking and winery guide books, cook books, board games and classic short stories are nearby.

Our kitchen offers large sun lit windows, an electric stove top, a new double oven, a large stainless steel fridge and appliances including a microwave, toaster, juicer, coffee grinder, tea kettle, coffee maker and french press. There is also plenty of dishware, cutlery, and other necessities for cooking like cutting boards, knife set, cheese graters, strainers, etc...

The master bedroom suite features a queen bed, bathroom, an open walk in closet, a treadmill, antique armoire, ceiling fan, AC window unit, base board heater, carpeted flooring and a sliding door out to the surrounding deck.

The cozy middle room offers a floor fan, closet, space heater, a comfy queen bed, and an antique table.

The front bedroom features a queen bed, antique armoire, carpeted flooring, AC window unit, fan, space heater and closet.

Both the master bath and the guest bath have been remodeled with beautiful tile floors and new vanities, lights, sinks, and fixtures. The bathrooms also come with bathing gels, shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryers.

3 Reasons Why I Fell In Love:

- The sound of morning song birds, ravens, and dappled sunlight filtering through oak trees while enjoying a hot cup of coffee out on the deck.

- The glorious blanket of shimmering stars that came to life while soaking in the hot tub after a long hike.

- Sipping a fine glass of pinot noir in our king sized rocking chair while basking in the waning light of an afternoon sun.

Great stay for family
The house was the perfect size for our group of 5 adults. It’s perfectly located close to the Sonoma Hwy and all the wineries, towns, and restaurants. We even saw some deer wandering around the property. Just beautiful and serene. Will definitely stay again.

Beautiful getaway!
We rented this place for a girls weekend and it was perfect! Well appointed kitchen for us to cook breakfast and make coffee every morning, and a hot tub to soak at night. Zero issues with wifi, AC, appliances, etc. plenty of space for 5 adults and the beds were SO comfortable which I was not expecting. It’s a little out of the way from downtown but for us that didn’t matter much, as we rented a car. The host was super responsive and friendly.

A glorious visit
Kelly is a superb host. Communicates fast and so upbeat. the house is better than listed. Everything worked great and it is very comfortable. We were two grandparents, daughter and husband and 4 month old baby, and our niece from Peru with her 1 year old. We were not crowded and loved our stay. It really is central to everything, vineyards and glen allen for food and restaurant. Sonoma is down the road and easily reached. We highly recommend both Kelly and her house!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Nelson

Host profile image
I'm from the Pensacola area of Florida but have greatly enjoyed living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1999. I'm a musician and have been in touring bands for almost 20 years. I'm also an artist of mixed media. I have a great love of nature, fitness and holistic living.

Why they chose this property

As a nature lover and avid hiker, I was drawn to Glen Ellen for its numerous state parks and cycling opportunities. Awe inspiring natural surroundings took my breath away and had me coming back to the area time and time again. The near-by town of Sonoma was delightfully quaint with diverse restaurant options, artisan craft stores, and wine tasting opportunities.

When I decided to look for a vacation home, privacy was on the top of my priority list. I said, "yes" as soon as I walked into the house in 2013. The house was perfectly situated for privacy with sprawling woods on one side, a sloping hill behind us and a tall fence separating our property from a friendly neighbor.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits offered at the house are numerous! They include dark and quiet nights, clear starry skies, a six person hot tub, abundant outdoor seating, amazing giant oak trees around the house, many near-by vineyard, numerous epic state parks, and a self igniting fire place.
