Thanks for a wonderful few days on the Smith River! We loved the beautiful views and amazing location with The Grove of Titans practically in the back yard. No direct river access from the house which was a bummer but there are multiple access points just a few minutes away. This house is chock full of nostalgia and cool surprises like a great collection of VHS movies that we got to introduce our 3 kids to. Don’t mind the dated appliances, everything works just fine. We loved the quirky vibe, mix mashed dishes and eclectic decor. There were lots of extra blankets and pillows, a kitchen stocked with cooking supplies, and plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out. Our kids loved the pool table and back porches. Check out Hiouchi Hamlet or Gasquet Market just a few miles down or up the road for essential groceries - no need to drive into Crescent City (which you might want to avoid anyway, it’s pretty depressing). Hiouchi Cafe is a hidden gem for a delicious breakfast or lunch, but for dinner you’re out of luck. Only thing I did not love was the minimal communication ahead of check-in. By 10 am the day of we hadn’t heard anything since booking months before. So we checked in with the property manager and got a prompt reply that the info with instructions on how to access the property would come in at 1200, which it did. Overall an amazing stay, we absolutely loved it and it was a great way to close out our NorCal vacation.
