About

Welcome to The Valley Of The Moon! Enjoy a hot tub soak under bright stars, a cozy fireplace in the evening, curious deer in the morning, and incredible wineries at your doorstep in a beautiful, private home away from home at The Oak Haven. Relax, take a load off, you deserve it!

Glen Ellen, a hidden gem in the heart of the rolling hills of wine country, is only 20 minutes from downtown Sonoma and prides itself on offering something amazing for everyone. Many beautiful state parks and famous vineyards are just a few minutes away.

Featuring three bedrooms with queen beds, two full baths, living room, fully-stocked kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining tables, surrounding deck with bench seating, and a six person hot tub, The Oak Haven is able to offer relaxing, overnight accommodations for up to 6 people.

Sloping, wooden ceilings with exposed beams, large windows, antique furnishings, pellet-burning fireplace, and dimmable, well-appointed lighting create a relaxing experience that feels close to nature with a quaint, rustic feel. If you like to cook, enjoy our new, electric double oven!

For indoor entertainment, high speed internet is readily available. Enjoy your preferred media on our portable 50 inch flat screen, subscription-based Apple TV (no cable) and speaker bar. There are also a myriad of boardgames available!

For reading enthusiasts, there's a plush, lounging chair with a foot rest, and reading light by the fireplace. Local hiking, biking and winery guide books, cook books, non-fiction, novels, and classic short stories are nearby.

Our kitchen offers large, operable, sun-lit windows, an electric stove top, a double oven, stainless steel fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee grinder, tea kettle, coffee maker, and more. The kitchen is well-stocked for all of your culinary needs.

The master bedroom suite features a queen bed, bathroom, an open walk in closet, dresser, antique armoire, ceiling fan, AC window unit, base board heater, treadmill, and a sliding door out to the surrounding deck.
