Heaven!

We could not have picked a more perfect location & property for our vacation! The description & pictures truly do not do it justice! The host was easy to communicate with & he provided us with not only any & all info relative to our stay, but also dining recommendations & history of the property. The home has a special charm, is beautifully appointed, & is cozy & comfy. We only ate out twice while there, as I love to cook. I have never rented a home with a kitchen so well stocked…I had a blast preparing meals! The scenery is simply breathtaking, with the river right off the deck. So many things to do nearby. The Redwood National Park entrance was less than 10 minutes from the house. The neighborhood is quiet & the house felt secluded. We made new friends with the neighbors across the street & enjoyed entertaining on our deck! Crescent City is less than 30 minutes & worth visiting. The Battery Point Lighthouse was a worthy excursion. We can highly recommend the Seaquake Brewery in Crescent City, as well as the Hiouchi Cafe between Gasquet & Hiouchi. We definitely plan to return! Thank you, Dean, for being the quintessential host!

Beautiful River View

Our stay was a 103 birthday celebration for my mother. All of us enjoyed the deck and river view tremendously. We all had to be careful walking to the front door because of the loose and uneven stepping stones.

We four adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wild River home. It was a combination of old stone and log home, upgraded beautifully. There was everything you need and more. We loved sitting out on the deck by the gently flowing river. We were very careful not to light any fires as we visited during a hot, dry time. We loved the access to all great Redwood groves and enjoyed the hosts's recommendation for breakfast in Hiouchi and dinner in Crescent City. A truly special home. Thank you.

Spectacular Smith

Birthday celebration along the spectacular Smith River. For the last 50 years I try to make it there to rejuvenate in the water and redwoods. Such a slice of heaven. Love staying in this home and have done so several times. House is very comfortable, laid out great, so clean and brand new kitchen! River is out the back door

Dreamy River Home

Oh my goodness, this home was the absolute favorite of all the places we stayed in our 3 week road trip! I told my husband we found out the perfect place for our retirement home!( I wish) From the moment we walked into the home was like stepping back into time. It was built in the 40’s but has all the modern amenities. Kitchen was a dream kitchen and eating outside on the deck in the morning and evening was our favorite place to spend time. It’s even better than the photos!

Comfy River House

Great location between river and sea. We live nearby so the location and lifestyle fit like a glove. The house is comfortable, well decorated with cool vintage style furniture, and includes all the modern amenities. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to make a tasty meal...then you get to eat it on the back deck while you watch the river flow past toward the setting sun Owner was communicative, friendly and available if you have any questions. Book it, pack the things you need to enjoy time on the river, shed your work skin and Go!

beautiful time in Gasquet

Gasquet is a magical place and the Smith River is holy ground for me and my husband. Being the only completely wild river, we just love seeing nature unmanaged by humans. We even saw an otter swimming from the deck. The beds are super comfy and the deck is gorgeous. You can't really beat the river view. It may not be the best place if you have a toddler - because of the deck being on a bluff above the river, but otherwise, it is fantastic.

Sisters trip

My sisters and I traveled to Northern California mid June and were looking for a place to relax and be able to do a little hiking and fishing. This house did not disappoint!! We stayed 3 nights to have a “home base” to relax and come and go. They had everything we needed! The Smith River was right off the deck and the sound of it flowing was just what we needed. Coffee every morning on the deck was awesome! There were plenty of linens, a lot of space and we felt safe and did NOT want to leave! The essentials were well stocked and even had wood for the fireplace and grill. There are some reviewers with “issues”, but I find hard to believe… those people probably aren’t happy anywhere. We would give this place a higher rating than 10 if we could!! Would definitely go back again! Thank you for making our trip comfortable.

Crystal Blue Waters

It's rare to find a stay where the house is actually BETTER than the listing but this one does just that. I contemplated just staying forever. The river view is unreal, with crystal blue waters surrounded by verdant forest. The house is very well appointed in a mid-century style, with comfortable rooms, plentiful towels, and a working fireplace for cozy nights. It was clearly decorated by someone who cared, not your typical rental bare-minimum. Yes the place is a bit of a drive from town, but more than worth it. I would argue that's ideal. I may have found my new favorite place to stay.

Adorable place we will never forget!

The six of us friends absolutely adored this place. It was so cute, so clean, and had a lovely fireplace where we spent the evenings chatting and listening to the river. Loved it so much! My only note is that I would say this place does not have safe and direct access to the river from the back of the house like I thought it may in the photos. That misunderstanding of mine was a slight hiccup for me when arriving so wanted to call that out in case anyone else may think it’s directly out back too. But there are SO many beautiful river access spots and very close to this house. One we loved was just four minutes away. We absolutely loved staying here and I highly recommend! :)

Gathering with Friends

We loved our stay at the Smith River Home. Location great for exploring the Redwoods, walking on local beaches in Crescent City and Brookings, and shopping. It was so fun to sit on the deck and enjoy the sounds of the river as it flowed past the house. The kitchen was well stocked, nice sitting area in living room and the dining area and kitchen also provided great views of the River. We enjoyed our morning walks in the quiet neighborhood. Blue ice in freezer was handy. A cooler for picnic food and perishable groceries would be handy. Bathrooms well stocked, however, instead of bar soap maybe body wash with a pump bottle. Bedrooms well furnished. Maybe a mirror in bedroom with twin beds and collapsable luggage racks in non master bedrooms. We felt area rugs in high traffic areas were a possible tripping issue. Thank you Dean for responding quickly to my questions during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your Smith River home.
