      Perfect place
      What a lovely place! The River House was beautifully furnished, with the gorgeous Smith River below the house and always visible. The kitchen was a dream in both layout and equipment. The house is close to all of the redwood parks and the neighbors were very friendly. I highly recommend staying here!

      Peace on the river
      This beautiful cabin overlooks the Smith river. Gorgeous midcentury modern decor with thoughtful touches and creative art pieces throughout the house. The newly renovated kitchen is wonderful to cook in and the deck brings inner peace as you listen to the river and watch the stars while listening to david bowies starman and black star. (Quietly so as not disturb the neighbors). Location is east of jedidiah smith redwoods and was a great place to visit redwood state and national parks from. Cabin is far enough from the coast to avoid coastal fog. If youre flying into medford hit the trader joes and stock up before heading out. Owners were very responsive. Our only regret was not staying longer.

      Smith River Retreat: A Sensory Journey Amidst Nature's Splendor
      Just back from a sublime three-day sojourn at this captivating river cabin, nestled perfectly along the beautiful Smith River bank. The owners have put in praiseworthy efforts in keeping the surroundings immaculate, fostering an atmosphere of serene harmony with nature that I found profoundly soothing. Stepping inside, the cabin evokes a palpable old-world charm blended seamlessly with modern amenities, striking a nostalgic and convenient balance. The architectural features resonate with rustic beauty, while the advanced facilities ensure you always feel in touch and comfortable. A distinct highlight of my stay was the superb quality of the beds and bedding. Much meticulous thought has been invested in every detail, and the nights spent in peaceful slumber amplified the cabin's rejuvenating aura. But the stay's defining aspect was its rich sensory experience. The soft murmur of the Smith River, the aromatic scent of the surrounding flora, incredible views of treelined mountains, and the cozy comfort of the cabin's interior awaken your senses. The cabin offers an exceptional getaway experience, where you can enjoy nature's grandeur while ensconced in homely comfort. It's an idyllic haven where thoughtful design and natural beauty coalesce to create an unforgettable stay. This is more than just a cabin; it's a sensory journey, a retreat, and a place to rekindle your connection with nature. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

      The smith river house was perfect. The property manager was easy to get ahold. The ony insignificant issue was the lock on the gate. It wasn't opening after multiple tries. However, after tugging forcefully, it opened. From that point on, it was bliss. We had an amazing time on the river and coming back to the house was relaxing. It's open space with an amazing deck to relax on. We enjoyed our morning coffee outside and watched the deer walk down to the river. We didnt regret one thing about this house, we'd go back in a heartbeat. Thank you to the property manager for being kind and patient with us and our calls.

      We had a really nice stay. We hung out on the beautiful deck for quite some time listening to the river rushing by. There were a couple of nice swimming holes that we visited, and the access to the redwoods was excellent.

      Smith river
      We absolutely loved being able to sit above the smith river on the deck each day. The house was nicely furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with all that one might need. Our only issue was the outdoor security lighting that was positioned right above the master bedroom window which in turn flooded the bedroom with bright light that made impossible to sleep in that room. The light was set up through Wi-Fi and we could not turn it off ourselves. We were able to communicate with the owners and they had their house manager remotely turn it off on our second night stay. On the third night we waited patiently for the light to turn off so we could go to bed, but by 11:00 that night we realized it was never going to go off. It was too late at that point to reach out to the owners again.

      Great getaway
      My overall impression of this property was great, although I thought there was river access from the house. My family and I enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer. We enjoyed all the upgrades and the cleanliness of the house. The views from the deck were amazing and we saw some wildlife while enjoying the scenery. The coast was only a 40 minute drive away so we got the best of both worlds, thank you we would love to come back again!

      Sight seeing Mecca in Smith River area
      Beautiful area. Quiet & safe neighborhood. Lovely older home with updates. House layout worked well for us. We spent most of our time out & about the area. There was a bounty of things to see & do outdoors. We were happy to have this home to come back to after a long day of exploring. Most everything you could want was there for our use. We weren't able to appreciate the river deck as much as we would have liked. Because of the time of year & fire hazard, we couldn't use anything but the grill out there. We chose not to use the grill either. The Smith river was accessible by walking east down the street about a block. But we found many other access points all along the river that made for true adventure. We went to Jedediah Smith Redwood park & spent 2 days hiking around there. Crescent City isn't far. The yard itself is big enough that you can hang around there if you want or take the provided bikes for a ride. It was warm enough when we were there, we made use of the inner tube @ Panther Flats campground in the river. Hiking around the area was spectacular. One of my favorite spots was Stony Creek near the North Fork of Smith River. It was fairly late in the season, so we had a little trouble finding proper hiking trail maps as the facility in Gasquet & Houchi were out and cell reception made downloading any maps a non option. But we did take pics of what the Ranger Stations had in the building. The carport @ the house was great on the 2 days we had storms, & a couple of nights we even watched TV to wind down from our full days of exploring. Truly a great "get away"

      We really enjoyed our stay at the Smith River House! I love the mid century decor in the house. It was very clean. Lovely peaceful deck by the river with comfortable places to sit and enjoy the river and wildlife. The kitchen was well equipped for a quality eating experience. Spacious living room, dining room and decks outside. Lovely eating areas inside and out. It was really fun that we saw an otter in the river!
