We adored our stay at this amazing home. It is conveniently located to the Northern Redwoods State Park area and Jedediah Smith Park and it sits on the cleanest river in the lower US. However, you must know you cannot access the river from the house, but access is close by. The house itself is decorated very nicely in mid century modern style with very comfortable furniture and mattresses. The kitchen is INCREDIBLY well stocked with a beautiful Italian gas range and every gadget and you could ever need. We hope to make it back again!

The home was built in 1948. We’ve taken great effort to mindfully preserve its original integrity, but have modernized the bathrooms and the kitchen is state of the Art and has been completely remodeled, with state-of-the-art appliances and high-quality finishes. I’m sorry you found it “dated,” we’ve never had a guest suggest that.

Bit difficult getting in as there was no gate code numbers on our check in information . Tried 4 times to get him.after we were settling in he called my husbands number.Once we crawled under the gate and got inside I found the gate code in information book so we get our vehicle in. . the owner suggested I take over his vrbo website.... then he told us to watch the white carpet because his wife would get mad. The carpet was heavily stained ... otherwise a lovely place and we enjoyed the place and the location.

Thank you for your review. The gate code was a Vrbo website glitch, for some reason the code was not provided as usual. This is the first time this has ever happened and has not happened since. As regards to the carpet, the previous guest prior to your stay, left several stains, which are being professionally cleaned. We pride ourselves on maintaining and an impeccably clean property, and we apologize for that condition.

Place was nice and had everything there to use. We had a great stay, all though we weren't there during the daytime cause we were fishing Great fishing by the way! We did notice long hairs on the toilet seat that when we came back and felt like someone was there while we were gone. (weird...) besides that great place.

Thank you for staying with us. As regards the the toilet, we pride ourselves on keeping an immaculate property and it’s an unfortunate that something like this could’ve occurred. Seems quite odd?

Three friends came to bask in the beauty of the redwoods and this house felt more like a home. Beautiful quiet location. Private rooms for each of us and a dream kitchen for us to cook in. We were out so much I wished we were home more to enjoy the house and backyard. I would love to stay here again.

Loved our stay in this home directly over the Smith River. We used to own the house, so it was a very sentimental visit. You you can hear the water run over the short stretch of rapids below the back patio. A very low key area, so pure relaxation. Not much to do in the area, so you have to be into the river and enjoying friends, as we did. Be sure to do your grocery shopping in Crescent City!!

The Smith River is one of the most pristine and beautiful places anywhere. After visiting over 50 countries I have not seen a place more natural and vibrant.

Why they chose this property

To spend time enjoying the beauty of the Smith River and Six Rivers National Forest. I want to share it with others who appreciate such a peaceful and special place.

What makes this property unique

You can swim and hike is so many beautiful places here and often have them all to yourself. The water in the river is crystal clear and among the cleanest and freshest rivers anywhere. Wild Salmon, Steelhead and Ocean going Cutthroat Trout are plentiful but ellusive.
