4 Bedroom Cabin in Monte Rio

Stairway to Haven is the quintessential family cabin in the redwoods. Located on a hill above the Russian River, the forested property feels private and away from it all but is only a few minutes to the Russian River and the charming resort town of Monte Rio. With a hot tub, outdoor dining and BBQ grill, a balance of sun and shade, full kitchen, and plenty of interior space to spread out, this rustic cabin is a wonderful home base for your next Sonoma County getaway.
Stairway to Haven is the Russian River standard. Built in 1930, the cabin retains much of its original charm. The open-beam cathedral ceilings in the living room, warm and inviting wood interiors and numerous windows framing the redwood trees are classic and delightful, the perfect backdrop to experience and enjoy our laid-back River lifestyle.
Kicking back in a rustic cabin does not mean giving up on creature comforts, and guests will find that the home is well-appointed with some updated amenities. The full kitchen is equipped with everything needed to cook and serve meals (no dishwasher due to septic requirements), hot water is on demand, the central heat keeps the home cozy in the winter and outdoors has a gas BBQ grill and a 7-person hot tub. With Comcast wifi and 3 workspaces (including an office), those that need to work a bit on vacation will appreciate the space to do so.

Summary: The five of us really enjoyed our stay. The property is wonderful and well stocked. We were surprised to have the hot tub maintenance person show up one day around 8am, but otherwise it was an extremely peaceful and private spot. Would stay there again!
