Terra Haven

The stay

A stone hearth with a wood burning stove anchors this peaceful forest hideaway, where towering redwoods shade every window. Gather around the stone fireplace or grill dinner on the deck while kids play in the enclosed yard — this 2-bedroom cottage sleeps 4 comfortably. Just a 5-minute walk to a community beach with river access and a mile from Lightwave Coffee. Your days here move at redwood pace — slow, grounded, and deeply restorative among these ancient giants.

The space

Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings around the fireplace or one of the two decks with the day's bottles. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall anchors the heart of the home — load up the wood-burning insert and the sectional pulls you in for a fireside evening. Glass doors slide open completely so indoor and outdoor merge; track lighting and skylights in the vaulted ceiling keep the room bright on foggy days. White cabinets trimmed in wood line the kitchen steps away, a skylight above for prep light and yellow bar stools at a small breakfast bar. Beyond it, orange chairs sit around a dark wood dining table by the deck doors. OUTDOOR LIVING Multiple redwood-stained decks expand your living space into the trees. The main deck invites you to linger with built-in seating, a glass-top coffee table, and wooden outdoor furniture. Fire up the stainless steel gas grill for forest dining. A unique curved staircase connects the upper and lower deck levels — pure whimsy among the redwoods. The enclosed yard provides safe play space for children. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The primary bedroom cradles you beneath vaulted wood-plank ceilings, with a queen bed and an orange upholstered chair and ottoman tucked by the window as a reading nook. A decorative dreamcatcher adorns the wall. The second bedroom offers a comfortable double bed under the same wood ceilings that echo the home's cabin character. The cottage sleeps 4 guests.

Neighborhood

Villa Grande's artistic hamlet surrounds you with towering redwoods and river culture. Walk just 5 minutes to reach the Russian River beach — perfect for swimming, floating, or launching a kayak adventure. The Monte Rio Community Beach (0.8 miles) offers volleyball courts, picnic areas, and seasonal watercraft rentals for family fun. Start mornings with excellent coffee at Lightwave Coffee & Kitchen (1.2 miles), serving Middle Eastern-inspired breakfast and lunch. Stock up on essentials at nearby Fern's Market (1.0 miles) or Bartlett's Market (1.0 miles). Golfers shouldn't miss Northwood Golf Club (under 2 miles) — a legendary Alister MacKenzie-designed course winding through the redwoods.

Guest access

Step into a great room rising to a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall, send the kids down the curved deck stairs between levels, and let the skylights handle the rest. You've got the whole home, with a wood-burning fireplace, BBQ, outdoor dining, an enclosed yard, and a balcony among the trees. Punch in the keypad code at the door; one car fits in the driveway or parallel to the gate, with overflow across the street.
