About this property

The Haven in Jenner ~ Private, Pet Friendly Sonoma Coast Cabin w/ Hot-Tub & Yard

Ready for a magical getaway where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean? Nestled on a private ½ acre, this cozy one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Imagine snuggling by the wood fire, stargazing from your deck, or unwinding in the hot tub while nature serenades you. Kayaking at the river-mouth, hiking at Jenner Headlands, and enjoying the Pacific Ocean (and Russian River) beaches are easily accessible adventures from The Haven. Conveniently located, yet a world away, The Haven is the ultimate spot for your Sonoma Coast adventure!

More about The Haven~
The open floor plan is drenched in sunlight during the day and a skylight above the comfy queen bed allows you to count the stars as you fall asleep. The cozy loft space is a special place for an older kid or the young-at-heart adult. Similar to a treehouse, it is only accessible by climbing a narrow, vertical ladder and may not be suitable for everyone.

The kitchen has all the essentials--stove and oven, microwave, coffee maker (drip and K-cup), fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Cookware & utensils, towels & cleaning supplies are provided. There are indoor and outdoor dining areas that seat four. The bathroom is small, but functional with a large sunken tub and separate shower stall with soap and shampoo.

The heart of the cozy living room is the wood-burning fireplace. It is a great space to snuggle on the sofa, watch a little TV (basic cable and a DVD player are provided) and catch up on your reading.

The expansive outdoor space provides a large wrap around deck with a propane grill and Adirondack chairs on the upper level. On the lower level, your dog will appreciate being able to enjoy the large fenced back yard while you relax in the private hot-tub. This is the perfect place to unwind after a day spent hiking the Jenner headlands, exploring the coastal redwoods or kayaking in the river mouth.

While people of all ages are welcome at The Haven, the property and house have not been furnished with children in mind. Features that make The Haven a special place for adults (the elevated deck, hot-tub, wood-burning fireplace and sunken bath tub, for example), may not be suitable or safe for young children.

The main living space is all on one level; however, there are stairs to enter the house and the bed is on an elevated platform. Access to the hot tub area requires navigating stone steps, a gravel path and changes in terrain.

Pets
Jenner is an awesome place for pooches! One pet is welcome to join you during your stay at The Haven (please disclose when you make your reservation). There is no size restriction or pet fee. While fenced, the yard is NOT escape proof, so pets cannot be left unattended in the yard, and must be crated if they are left alone in the house.

Getting to Jenner
Jenner is about an hour's drive to Santa Rosa regional airport (STS) , 2 hours to Oakland (OAK) and 2 1/2 hours to San Francisco (SFO). A car is strongly recommended, as ride share & public transit options are limited.

Travelers should not rely on information posted on this platform that is generated by AI, as it is not always accurate and is beyond the owner's ability to remove or revise. For example, I would not describe this property as being walking distance to Goat Rock beach (the platform AI does), but it is a short kayak ride across the river mouth and the boat launch is a short walk from the house :-)

Garden of Delights!

We were first greeted by many hummingbirds as we pulled into the driveway! Bright succulent garden fills the front yard. Cabin is clean and efficient use of space for two. There is a ladder to a loft with an additional single bed but we did not use it - meant for a much younger person! Spacious deck outside overlooking the Russian River. Cozy fireplace indoors for cool mornings. We enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful Jenner getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Haven, playing board games, sitting in front of the fire, and having lunch at Cafe Aquatica. Very quiet and nature-filled surroundings. Note that there is no separate bedroom, so we decided to go just the two of us and leave the dog at home!

A wonderful getaway

My wife and I stayed at the haven for four nights for our fifth year wedding anniversary. The place was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need and very comfortable. The deck had views of the Russian River and a sliver of ocean. Check in was easy as can be. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Highly recommended!

Quails and Hummingbirds

Cozy and clean with everything you need. We loved all the quails and watching the hummers from the deck while watching the fog roll in. Serene and quiet. Our dog loved it, except for the neighbor with the German Shepherd which tried to leap the deck gate before he was finally retrieved. Can’t blame our Hosts for that! All in all we were very happy with The Haven. You should give it a try!

Cute cabin

Cute cabin, older but well maintained. Comfortable and nice furnishings. No hair dryer despite being on the list of amenities. Property mgr was responsive to email though they said to just assume the previous renters took it. Suggest they add some DVD’s, books, games. Surprised there wasn’t any. Also there is no WiFi so a list of suggestions, local info, brochures/maps would be super helpful. Adds a personal touch at other places I’ve stayed.

Total Privacy!

Can’t possibly come back soon enough! That should tell you exactly what we thought of this beautiful, private rustic place. The bed was super comfy. We enjoyed building fires in the Swedish fireplace. The kitchen contained all the conveniences of home. Love the wrap around deck and enjoyed feeding the birds. The hot tub was a highlight of the trip not to mention, you are close to the ocean and the river. Enjoyed the mornings with the fog rolling in and out. We enjoyed our coastal trips to Guerneville, which is 30 minutes away, where there is a Safeway and to Bodega Bay, which is 20 minutes away. We loved the little a town of Duncan Mills, which had the most wonderful, bakery and gift shops. Did I mention gazing at the stars from our bedroom skylight?

The Haven is Heaven

From the moment we pulled up, we could not believe our eyes: “What? Is that the place?” Perched on the hillside with beautiful succulents, a small stream, a wraparound deck, and super easy checkin, this haven was immediately welcoming. Everything about it was perfect for my husband, our dog, and me. It was the perfect amount of space to hang-out together or have a private moment. We were so fortunate to have fantastic weather, even in January, so it was delightful to move between the cool crisp winter air outside to the warm snuggly cottage inside. It had the perfect amount of kitchen supplies (dishes, spices, oils, pots, pans, coffee makers, an electric kettles and a blender). It had the perfect number of amenities like shampoo, lotion, towels, spare toothbrushes, robes. It had games and supplies for the dog. Honestly, it feels like they thought of everything. We genuinely felt like our hosts wanted us to feel welcome and enjoy ourselves, which is a feeling one doesn't always get in a rental. This is one of our favorite places we've stayed – ever - and we've stayed in probably close to a hundred across different countries. In the future, when I want to cheer myself up, I will remember sitting in the hot tub at the Haven, looking at the trees and listening to the stream. Or better yet, we will visit again.

Kitchen was well equipped and very clean. The dish design was thought fully chosen, and there were plenty of mugs, bowls and nice glassware. Condiments were available and coffee. Brita filter for water. Loved the whole entire cabin decor.. cozy and comfortable. Plenty of wood for the fireplace, too. Hot tub was super clean and restful. I loved the fluffy towels and robes. The hosts are very good at making you feel pampered. And the garden was beautiful… coastal succulents, and yard was fenced… nice for our dog. We came away very rested, and will be back at some point!

A much needed (and overdue!) getaway in Jenner. Thank you for the perfect cabin! Gorgeous view of the sea in a bucolic and serene hillside. Forgot how much peace Jenner and Bodega Bay gives me. The hot tub was a quencher. Definitely coming back for a visit soon with our sweet girl, Ginger.

Heavenly at The Haven

Went up for a quick birthday weekend retreat. The home is nestled in dense forest with the sounds of the Russian River in earshot. We didn’t see a single person the entire time we were up there. Although modest in size, it has absolutely everything you’ll need. Kitchen was user friendly, with updated appliances. Bed was extra comfortable, with a sunroof looking straight up at the stars at night. The hot tub was luxurious and the fireplace was all ready for us to start a roaring fire to fall asleep to. We knew the minute we walked in that we would be back again. Hosts were so gracious and welcoming. I’m already booking our next trip here!

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Kozubal

Host profile image
We are Sonoma County locals who love to celebrate living in one of the most spectacular places on the planet. Though we are not able to spend nearly as much time at the coast as we would like to, we are happy to share this little piece of paradise with our guests.

Why they chose this property

The open space surrounding the house and it's close proximity to the village makes it a very special place to visit--private and convenient.

What makes this property unique

The most special part of The Haven to us is the spirit/mojo/vibe of the place. The home was designed and built by an architect who had owned this land for many years before building the house as his own retreat, so it was built with an incredible awareness of/sensitivity to the surroundings. It is private, intimate, relaxing, and invigorating.

We love sitting in the hot-tub at night (especially in the rain), and listening to the waves crashing and the stream rushing by. We love having breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon with the hummingbirds.

We love that this is a place that our dog and kids enjoy as much as we do!
