Who says you need to rough it to explore the outdoors?

The Trapper’s Cabin is a 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin located in the heart of Gasquet, CA, conveniently situated off the 199 highway. Gasquet is 20 miles from the ocean, 10 miles from the Redwood National Forest, and sits directly on the Smith River. Come for the many adventures that the tallest trees, cleanest river, and secluded beaches have to offer, but stay for a sense of pure serenity.

The cabin is just a short walk to the river. There is a fish cleaning station and grill in the backyard for anyone who is lucky enough to catch a prize winning steelhead or salmon. The immediate neighborhood is perfect for bike rides, hiking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, mushroom hunting, berry picking, bigfoot hunting, bird watching, quartz or gold mining, and stargazing. There is also an amazing massage therapist within walking distance, in case your adventures have left you feeling a bit sore.

At the Trapper’s Cabin, you will have a spectacular view of the Adam’s Station, a local landmark. The view will take you back to the 1800’s, when Mary Adams Peacock entertained the many travelers who stopped at her B&B for a warm meal and comfortable bed. Yet, the cabin itself, has all the comforts and amenities of home. It has been designed for the explorer who still likes to come home to a memory foam mattress and smart TV.

There is a queen sized mattress in each of the two bedrooms, as well as two cot-sized day beds in the living room, in case you need to sleep six. There is also a full kitchen and small laundry room. The backyard is secure and well suited for pets or small children. Although the cabin is relatively private, after a walk around the neighborhood, you will find that Gasquet has some of the most friendly neighbors around.

NOTES:
There is only one market in Gasquet with limited groceries. You will want to come prepared if you plan on cooking. The nearest grocery store is in Crescent City (20 miles west) or Cave Junction (35 miles east). There is also only one restaurant in Gasquet (Patrick Creek Lodge) and one restaurant in Hiouchi, the next town west, (Hiouchi Cafe).

If you would like to book a massage, fishing trip, kayak rental, etc. you should do so well in advance. The following is a list of resources:

Home Away From Home

The CUTEST VRBO that had all the amenities of home but in a centrally-located place within minutes from rivers, ocean and the Redwoods. Also dog-friendly and made the trip so much more special being able to take my dog with me.

Amazing area and home!

This home was beautiful! Very clean and dog friendly! It has a large fenced area for the dogs and even a dog basket full of different items to use, (which our dogs loved the bed). The kids very much enjoyed the front swings and the large map on the wall. Great place and will visit again!

Great base camp for exploration

My partner and I enjoyed our stay. It was cozy and comfortable. Our dog enjoyed the large fenced in backyard and the fenced in front porch! While not all of the area excursions are dog-friendly, we enjoyed hikes in the Smith River Recreation area, Walker Road, Crescent City, and the Trees of Mystery.

Cabin in the Redwoods

Gorgeous cabin in a beautiful area. This place was secluded and quiet but also only 10-15min drive to many trails in the Redwoods. Backyard was spacious and gorgeous we are all our meals out there.

A Birthday Adventure

We stayed at this quaint cabin/cottage on a beautiful quiet street. Trees galore and it makes for a beautiful walk or a lovely run. The backyard has a large deck with a barbecue grill and down below is a fire pit. It was a perfect place to explore the redwoods.

Wonderful hidden pine getaway!

Highly recommend this lovely 2 bedroom, fully equipped home. This location is FULLY FENCED which is really hard to find traveling with pups. Totally recommend this unique, tucked away gem in the pines of Northern California.

Perfect for dogs and people

This place has everything we wanted and needed. Secure fenced yard for furry friends. Dog blankets, bed and towels. Kitchen has everything you need. Thanks for the snacks! Comfy beds and living space. Nice outdoor dining on the deck under the redwoods. So close and convenient to the park and Howlin Hill Road. Wish we stayed longer and we will be back.

Perfect home base for Redwood vacation

The cabin was a beautiful clean space with everything needed for an amazing week in beautiful Northern California with all the comforts of home. The internet didn't work well, but since disconnecting was part of the goal for the vacation, that wasn't really an issue for us. We would definitely rent this cabin again!

Perfect weekend getaway

Such a charming property with a perfect location. Stayed with my husband and our 2 small kids under the age of 2. Plenty of room for us and outdoor space to enjoy. Quick drive to many swimming holes along the Smith River, as well as trailheads through the redwoods. Had all the comforts of home and my toddler loved the fresh cookies. The only thing I wish it had was a stopper to the tub, it was too rusty to use. We will absolutely stay here again.

Peaceful and scenic getaway

We came for a getaway among the trees and to explore the beautiful Smith River area. The Cabin was very comfortable and met most all our needs. Very close to beautiful outdoor recreation and spots (trails, river swimming, Jedediah Redwoods) and great back deck to sit outside and enjoy. Host Bridget was very responsive and friendly. We plan to return.

Cute little place surrounded by beauty!

Our family needed a place to stay before hitting the trails of the Redwood Forest and this place was perfect! It was very dog friendly for our furry family with a wonderful fenced in backyard. I love that there were plenty of blankets around the house for anyone who got cold, and there were plenty of towels for showers in the morning, very thoughtful! We also really enjoyed the wall map and the little notes that other attendees had left about places on the map, it was a very fun touch! Also, the cabin is very easy to access from 199, we had no trouble finding it (even after a VERY LONG day's drive). I highly recommend checking this place out if you want to stay close to the Redwood National Parks.
