This is a cozy, comfortable home! We had a great time enjoying the river behind the house, and this place is very conveniently located to Jedidiah Smith state park, if you are looking to spend time in the Redwoods. The house itself has many great amenities, including games in the garage that my kids enjoyed playing with. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a quiet spot for a family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. It was in close proximity to so many things. We hiked in the Redwoods, went to the ocean, swam in the private swimming hole, roasted marshmallows, sat outside reading and watching the cranes, ate some great seafood at The Chartroom but also was able to cook some excellent meals in a well stocked kitchen. One half of the house can be closed off at night for privacy plus there was a pillow library and everyone got a pillow that they loved. I kept waking up forgetting I wasn’t home it was so comfortable. That’s honestly never happened. We had a great time and made some fabulous memories.

The best river getaway!

The property is amazing. You can’t beat having your own access to the Smith River! We loved sitting outside listening to the river and roasting s’mores at the fire pit. The kids loved swimming down the rapids. The house was very clean and had everything you’d need for your stay! It was so peaceful there!

Beautiful location, beautiful home!

This house and location was absolutely perfect if you’re a nature lover. At the house we were able to enjoy the river views all day. Multiple parks, trails and the ocean were all nearby. The house was well stocked with anything you may need and also had a great guest book with tons of info on things to do. Very comfortable stay. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend staying here.

4th time back! Better everytime!

This place is now a home away from home that we look forward to every year! I wish we could stay longer- one of these trips we will! They did some remodeling that is awesome! New murphy bed in living/dining space that can be closed off like its own, private living space with its own bathroom if you wanted that. You will not be disappointed if your looking for a peaceful, comfortable and clean place to stay right on the Smith! Thank you again, for sharing your home with us!

WHAT.AN.AMAZING.VIEW!!! Quiet street, amazing views, wonderful back deck...this house had everything we wanted. The kids also enjoyed the pingpong table in the garage. If you are second-guessing whether or not to book this place, book it before someone else does!

Beautiful Experience

This property is absolutely gorgeous!!! We had an amazing time in the redwoods. The house is located a few minutes from the Oregon border and redwoods. It worked out perfectly for our vacation being so close to the 101. The river was calming and beautiful. The house had everything needed - extra towels, cookware, washer and dryer, etc. The hummingbirds came and it was such a lovely experience. We left 2 fishing poles behind for other guests since we couldn't fly back to Florida with them. Thanks so much for such a beautiful 50th birthday location!!!
