The Sun Room – A Jewel Suspended Above the Eel River

The Sun Room is the crown jewel of Julia Morgan’s Redwood Grove, a historic Humboldt County estate where timeless architecture meets breathtaking natural beauty. Once at risk of sliding off the cliffside, this extraordinary space was masterfully preserved by anchoring its foundation deep into the earth, allowing it to stand today as a testament to resilience and thoughtful design.

Bathed in natural light, the Sun Room showcases original hand-painted murals from the 1920s, rare artworks that honor the estate’s artistic legacy and create a serene, almost sacred atmosphere. From elevated views of the winding Eel River below to golden-hour light that fills the room with warmth, the Sun Room offers a transcendent experience where history, nature, and architecture converge.

Perfect for intimate ceremonies, elegant receptions, or quiet reflection, the Sun Room exemplifies the unique charm and sophistication of this Northern California redwood wedding venue.
