A great getaway
Great cabin. Comfortable, lots of room, peaceful and quiet. The views out over the river canyon were lovely, we sat out on the deck in the mornings and watched the eagles soar past. Amazing redwood walks only a few minutes away. Absolutely want to come here again.

Beautiful Property
Our stay was great! There was a mix up with the cleaning of the property, but the property manager was on it and had someone come change the sheets and get us more towels the evening we arrived. The property description was accurate and it was gorgeous. The huge windows had a breathtaking view and the property was crazy close to the Redwoods. It only took us 10 minutes to get to some of the most amazing hikes I've ever experienced. It was wonderful, easy, and I would book there again if we ever return.

New year’s in the woods
Property was beautiful, as expected. Plenty of room for the nine of us. Only drawback was not having hot water “on demand”. With so many people it was difficult to maintain hot water for showers. Just a suggestion as our stay was wonderful and memorable. I rate this property first rate and would recommend for anyone who enjoys the privacy and the majesty of the forest and river!

It is not exactly on the river and there is no access. The house should have a book with some simple home information like garage location, bring wood for fireplace. Ect……

Liquid Sunshine on the Tranquil Smith River
The photos of our chosen cabin were a sight to behold, just in the pictures alone, but the surprise awaiting my family, on entering this mountain paradise, exceeded any expectation one could conjure! We braved the elements visiting the Redwood Forrest, the Crescent City Docks, closing our day with a wonderful plate of fresh Fish and Chips from quaint little SeaQuest Brewery. Returning to the cabin, we all sat peering out the grand glass wall, beholding cascading rain fed falls across the rapidly flowing Smith River, warming to a popping wood fire in the wood stove so strategically placed, we all remained comfortably warm! New York Strips and Fresh Crab, from the Deck grill graced our plates, as dusk turned to darkness and light from the wood stove softly lit our table! Such a wonderful stay, such a wonderful get away!

Just what we needed!
So glad we found this spot. It was perfect for our elopement in Stout Grove, as it was just a 5 minute drive down the road. The house had everything we needed to cook dinner, play some games together and just relax. The house was clean and welcoming when we arrived. Although we had no issues and didn’t need to contact the host. I believe there would be no issues if we had to. Check in/out was effortless and I would definitely rent again if we’re ever in the area again.

We enjoyed our one night stay. We wished we had several more nights to spend there. The setting was beautiful. The amenities on the house were fantastic! Whoever designed this place spent time focusing on above par.

Perfect Hideaway
We enjoyed the secluded area and were also happy that it was close to our activity areas. We would have liked to stay at this house for more nights. This was definitely the nicest place that we stayed at during our trip.

Magical Stay
We had a fantastic time! The location of this property could not be better. So peaceful and beautiful. Right up the road are the redwoods. We also spent a lot of time swimming, cliff jumping, and rope swinging in the river. We spent all day out playing, and then the house was so great to come back to. It was bright and spacious, every single bed was comfortable, even the towels were soft.We made a lot of wonderful memories here. Thank you

Million dollar view! Setup was awkward
Seriously, the location and view are amazing. And generally everything was pretty comfortable, although one of the downstairs mattresses slumped toward the center. The biggest inconvenience is that if you have a big group with people staying in the bonus room, it can only be accessed through the master bedroom and bathroom. So, we had 6 people using the upstairs bathroom, and my nephews coming through the bedroom at odd hours :-D That said, we'd stay here again if we didn't have people sleeping in the bonus room.

Beautiful Cabin off the river
We loved this home. It was the perfect place to stay-both bc of the location and the home itself. It was just down the street from Stout Grove and other incredible locations in Jedediah Smith Redwoods and only a 15 min drive from Crescent city. The home itself is beautiful, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We loved our stay and would suggest it to anyone who is looking!
