About this property
Who says you need to rough it to explore the outdoors?
The Trapper’s Cabin is a 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin located in the heart of Gasquet, CA, conveniently situated off the 199 highway. Gasquet is 20 miles from the ocean, 10 miles from the Redwood National Forest, and sits directly on the Smith River. Come for the many adventures that the tallest trees, cleanest river, and secluded beaches have to offer, but stay for a sense of pure serenity.
The cabin is just a short walk to the river. There is a fish cleaning station and grill in the backyard for anyone who is lucky enough to catch a prize winning steelhead or salmon. The immediate neighborhood is perfect for bike rides, hiking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, mushroom hunting, berry picking, bigfoot hunting, bird watching, quartz or gold mining, and stargazing. There is also an amazing massage therapist within walking distance, in case your adventures have left you feeling a bit sore.
At the Trapper’s Cabin, you will have a spectacular view of the Adam’s Station, a local landmark. The view will take you back to the 1800’s, when Mary Adams Peacock entertained the many travelers who stopped at her B&B for a warm meal and comfortable bed. Yet, the cabin itself, has all the comforts and amenities of home. It has been designed for the explorer who still likes to come home to a memory foam mattress and smart TV.
There is a queen sized mattress in each of the two bedrooms, as well as two cot-sized day beds in the living room, in case you need to sleep six. There is also a full kitchen and small laundry room. The backyard is secure and well suited for pets or small children. Although the cabin is relatively private, after a walk around the neighborhood, you will find that Gasquet has some of the most friendly neighbors around.
NOTES: There is only one market in Gasquet with limited groceries. You will want to come prepared if you plan on cooking. The nearest grocery store is in Crescent City (20 miles west) or Cave Junction (35 miles east). There is also only one restaurant in Gasquet (Patrick Creek Lodge) and one restaurant in Hiouchi, the next town west, (Hiouchi Cafe).

The vrbo was very easy to find right off the main road. There were so many amenities. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook any meal and even had delicious cookies waiting for us. There was also recommendations of many activities to try. Great place to stay.
Had a fantastic stay. Property is gem would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Location is great, central to so many outdoor activities. Thoughtful amenities to make your stay feel like a home away from home.
We enjoyed our visit and the cookies that were waiting for us when we arrived. The house is walking distance to the Smith River and a quick drive to Jedediah Smith State Park not to mention several other great trails. The large wall map in the cabin was very helpful to find local spots to explore. We all (dogs and humans) enjoyed the large yard with fire pit.
Highly recommend this stay. It is a wonderful location, all the amenities, comfortable, great back deck/fenced in yard. Would have enjoyed staying longer.
This was such a wonderful treat for our family. The house had all the comforts of home, and lots of little extras that helped make our mini vacation special. The cookies, popcorn and coffee were appreciated. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home!
What a cute, homey place to stay. Very dog friendly! Even had some treats ready for our pets. Owner VERY nice, helpful, and accommodating!! This was a perfect place for us and we loved our stay!
This is one of the most impressive places I've stayed at! Walking distance to the river, super dog friendly, great amenities! I will definitely be back! Thank you for being such a great host!
The CUTEST VRBO that had all the amenities of home but in a centrally-located place within minutes from rivers, ocean and the Redwoods. Also dog-friendly and made the trip so much more special being able to take my dog with me.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The neighborhood was quiet and allowed for great evening walks. The river was a quick walk away and kept our teen sons interested with fishing and catching frogs. The house had everything you need for a comfortable stay. A quick drive to the state parks which had the best walking trails!
We had to scramble to find a place that allowed dogs at the last minute and this cute little bungalow was perfect! From the fresh cookies to the basket of doggie amenities, we felt right at home. Back deck and yard were wonderful. Would definitely stay there again.
Gorgeous cabin in a beautiful area. This place was secluded and quiet but also only 10-15min drive to many trails in the Redwoods. Backyard was spacious and gorgeous we are all our meals out there.
Property and house were beautiful. Fully stocked and clean! Bridget’s hospitality is excellent. Best rental we’ve ever stayed in :) Can’t wait to come back!!
This house is so cute & cozy! It was one of those properties where you feel like you're staying at a friend's or family member's home; comfortable.....not stuffy or stressful with too many fragile knickknacks & strict rules! We loved the back porch for dinner and the hanging swings for reading & coffee. The place is well stocked so you don't have to run out for every little thing. My daughters loved the provided cookies & q-tips, haha! Very comfy beds with soft sheets.
This home was beautiful! Very clean and dog friendly! It has a large fenced area for the dogs and even a dog basket full of different items to use, (which our dogs loved the bed). The kids very much enjoyed the front swings and the large map on the wall. Great place and will visit again!
