This was a delightful 4 nights on a pleasant river in a quiet neighborhood in the redwoods. There were 3 of us, plus one service dog. Plenty of room! The decor is quite interesting - part museum, part art gallery. Furniture very comfortable. We were in the river to cool off every evening. We would love to return!

Relaxing stay at a beautiful spot

The home is very comfortable & well stocked with everything you need. Outside the home was the real star though with flowers blooming & expansive space with multiple decks and comfy chairs overlooking the Smith river. My family loved our stay at Elve Huset.

River House

The house was great, and beautiful setting. We all agreed that it was much better than the listing showed. Great kitchen and living room; multiple decks outside; running stream behind the house, accessible for a cool dip. Would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing and on the River

After hiking all day amongst the redwoods of NorCal we would return to the home to rest and relax to get ready for the next days hike. Sitting out on the back deck right by the river was especially nice. We had a great time.

Tranquil retreat in lovely setting

The host was welcoming and the property was lovely and spacious and allowed our family to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked pairing meals. But the real magic of this property comes from: 1) the lovely master bedroom with skylights to see the stars and a wall of windows to view the river and 2) the numerous decks that overlooked the river. I was so happy sitting on these decks, watching numerous hummingbirds visit their feeders and laying out peanuts for the jays. We had to cut our trip short for a pet emergency back home and we were very sad to leave.. the whole way home I was imagining myself back on those decks…. It really is a special place with great location to visit the redwoods. Gasquet is located outside the coastal fog zone, so even when it is cloudy in the redwoods, it was sunny at the cabin.

Perfect Family Retreat

Our family of 4 (kids are 7 and 9) had the most fantastic stay at Elve Huset! The property is incredible. Surrounded by trees, wildlife, and a quick, rocky walk down to the Smith River (cleanest in the country, arguably the world!). When we weren't out exploring, we lived in the backyard. I loved reading with my coffee in the early morning hours in the swing or on the deck, complete with sounds of the river rushing by and jays pestering me for peanuts. We spent many evenings sitting on the rocks by the river while the kids waded in with water shoes, searching for river critters.The house is spacious, clean, and well-equipped for preparing meals. We had plenty of towels, and the washer/dryer access was key with all the hiking and swimming we did over the course of the week. The street is very quiet; we rarely saw other folks. As for nearby attractions, there is great hiking, you can kayak on the Smith (we loved Smith River Kayaks), wander over to the ocean/beach, as well as relax or swim at some of the river's beaches ("Myrtle Beach" down the road was a hit on warmer days). The host is also super friendly and communicative; he was very quick to respond when I had an issue with the washer (entirely user error, for the record!).Overall, I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was here. I'm including pictures for others' reference. Thank you for a fabulous week!

Perfect centralized location for group of family and friends to explore the Redwoods and the northern CA coastline.

Great Time

This was a most enjoyable place to stay. The home was very inviting, comfortable and clean. It has a large covered patio and a separate covered area with a swing. All overlooking the Smith River. It is very close to the Redwoods and all they have to offer. Not far from Crescent City and the coast. Everything is there for a most enjoyable stay.

Wonderful house!

This is a beautiful clean cozy house that worked well for our vacation. Quiet neighborhood a minute from hwy 199 and a quality corner store. We loved the fireplace, the warm central furnace and the cozy furniture. The view of the river is excellent. The kitchen is well stocked. The upstairs bedroom and bath are quiet and also have a great view of the river. There is lots of space for a big family. The backyard decks are awesome and there is river access! The home is decorated throughout with art. Very interesting pieces! It was a challenge to keep the glass decorations safe from our 3 year old boy and the 1 year old who visited us. We made it work, though. Great house, and I would be happy to rent again

Stunning property, back to nature

Back to nature with all the comforts of home. Stunning property delightful home. I would move here in a heart beat and be happy for the rest of my life. Perfect retreat. I am 75, i wanted to spend some time in the deep forest but have some limiting mobility factors. This property had the right mix of tall trees, water, and shektered places to sit and enjoy nature with only a short walk. Beautiful home, many large windows so even when I was inside i could enjoy the outside . Absolutly heaven on earth!

This was our second visit to this house. We loved it as much as the first time. We need to come back in the summer so we can enjoy the river more, but it’s so cozy for a winter stay. We love it.

Amazing Place to Stay

This place is truly amazing. The location is in a beautiful area with a river right behind it. The two patios that are overlooking the river are private and perfect for relaxing. The house is incredibly nice. The furnishings are comfortable. The host has done an awesome job putting things around the house to keep you entertained. Everything about this place is perfect. One of our favorite places we have ever stayed.

What makes this property unique

Every morning I get up and make my self a cup of coffee and swivel the chair around in the living room to face the river in all of its wonder. I sit there peacefully as the water races down to the ocean, read the paper and gently sip on my coffee.
