Stairway to Haven ~ Family 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.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a very relaxing, enjoyable weekend with our friends and family. The kitchen was well-appointed with any utensil or appliance we needed to cook full meals during our stay. Everything was perfect to our needs.

Great Stay
5 friends gathered for the weekend to attend the Russian River Rodeo. The place was super charming and had everything we needed for a delicious Friday night summer BBQ. The decks are sweet, cool and comfortable and the decor delightful. The only issue was the downstairs toilet didn't work despite a plumbers quick visit. We'd come back again with assurances that the plumbing worked downstairs.

Would stay again (but walking that hill isn’t a joke!)
Overall, we would stay again. The house is clean, private, peaceful, and we had easy and great communication with the property management team. The best bedroom and bathroom are downstairs with its own entrance (completely separated from the rest of the house - i.e. living room and kitchen). The walk uphill from the main street and river is a serious climb on foot so be prepared for it. Our car was able to make it up the driveway, but that was also very steep, and not for everyone.

Rainy getaway
My family enjoyed the property as it was big enough for everyone and pet friendly. We stayed during the rainy months and enjoyed playing games and cuddling up near the fire place. I strongly caution the very steep driveway. If you have a four wheel drive, that is preferred especially if it is wet out. Otherwise good accommodations.

Perfect for a quiet getaway.
This was a perfect location for us for our last getaway this summer. Loved that there was a separate entrance for the downstairs portion, gave us some privacy from the rest of the family!
