Guerneville Forest Cabin Escape

Want to get away in Northern California but don't want to travel far to experience that?

The Raven Haus Cabin in Guernerville is THAT place!

Located in the northern part of Sonoma county and in the heart of the Russian River valley lies The Raven Haus! Surrounded by redwoods and built in 1925, the Raven Haus cabin makes you feel like you have traveled back in time at this charming and tranquil home away from home.

Pulling up to the cabin you pass the Rio Nido lodge and roadhouse where you can enjoy some local food, drinks and entertainment on the weekends. It's so convenient, just a short walk from the cabin, rather than have to drive into the nearest town. And it still feels like you're in a very secluded setting and easy to connect with nature and enjoy an unplugged experience.

The cabin is located towards the end of the Rio Nido roadhouse and it's just so perfect and feels so private even though there are two close by cabins. From the moment we opened the door we felt like we traveled back in time. The rustic tones throughout the home and the thoughtful touches transport you to a simpler, relaxing atmosphere. Accentuated by stained glass windows and warm lighting, the rooms in the home were very cozy and really felt like we traveled back in time. There are two bedrooms located downstairs with 1 bathroom and upstairs is the masters bedroom with a private patio area that includes a hot tub surrounded by tall pines trees for a truly magical soak away from prying eyes!

My kids really enjoyed the Harry Potter feels and couldnt stop talking about wanting to snuggle up with a cup of hot cocoa and sit by the stained glass reading a book or working on a puzzle.

The bathroom was truly an experinece too! A stone tub with a seating area which feels like an outdoor shower was a wondeful touch to the home and experinece that we totally took advantage of.

Although the home was absolutely beautiful, cozy and soooo comfortable, theres so much to do nearby. So don't miss the opportunity to explore the surrounding state parks, beaches, and stops along the Russian River!
