Beautiful
We four adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wild River home. It was a combination of old stone and log home, upgraded beautifully. There was everything you need and more. We loved sitting out on the deck by the gently flowing river. We were very careful not to light any fires as we visited during a hot, dry time. We loved the access to all great Redwood groves and enjoyed the hosts's recommendation for breakfast in Hiouchi and dinner in Crescent City. A truly special home. Thank you.

Spectacular Smith
Birthday celebration along the spectacular Smith River. For the last 50 years I try to make it there to rejuvenate in the water and redwoods. Such a slice of heaven. Love staying in this home and have done so several times. House is very comfortable, laid out great, so clean and brand new kitchen! River is out the back door

Dreamy River Home
Oh my goodness, this home was the absolute favorite of all the places we stayed in our 3 week road trip! I told my husband we found out the perfect place for our retirement home!( I wish) From the moment we walked into the home was like stepping back into time. It was built in the 40’s but has all the modern amenities. Kitchen was a dream kitchen and eating outside on the deck in the morning and evening was our favorite place to spend time. It’s even better than the photos!

Comfy River House
Great location between river and sea. We live nearby so the location and lifestyle fit like a glove. The house is comfortable, well decorated with cool vintage style furniture, and includes all the modern amenities. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to make a tasty meal...then you get to eat it on the back deck while you watch the river flow past toward the setting sun Owner was communicative, friendly and available if you have any questions. Book it, pack the things you need to enjoy time on the river, shed your work skin and Go!

beautiful time in Gasquet
Gasquet is a magical place and the Smith River is holy ground for me and my husband. Being the only completely wild river, we just love seeing nature unmanaged by humans. We even saw an otter swimming from the deck. The beds are super comfy and the deck is gorgeous. You can't really beat the river view. It may not be the best place if you have a toddler - because of the deck being on a bluff above the river, but otherwise, it is fantastic.

Sisters trip
My sisters and I traveled to Northern California mid June and were looking for a place to relax and be able to do a little hiking and fishing. This house did not disappoint!! We stayed 3 nights to have a “home base” to relax and come and go. They had everything we needed! The Smith River was right off the deck and the sound of it flowing was just what we needed. Coffee every morning on the deck was awesome! There were plenty of linens, a lot of space and we felt safe and did NOT want to leave! The essentials were well stocked and even had wood for the fireplace and grill. There are some reviewers with “issues”, but I find hard to believe… those people probably aren’t happy anywhere. We would give this place a higher rating than 10 if we could!! Would definitely go back again! Thank you for making our trip comfortable.

Crystal Blue Waters
It's rare to find a stay where the house is actually BETTER than the listing but this one does just that. I contemplated just staying forever. The river view is unreal, with crystal blue waters surrounded by verdant forest. The house is very well appointed in a mid-century style, with comfortable rooms, plentiful towels, and a working fireplace for cozy nights. It was clearly decorated by someone who cared, not your typical rental bare-minimum. Yes the place is a bit of a drive from town, but more than worth it. I would argue that's ideal. I may have found my new favorite place to stay.

Adorable place we will never forget!
The six of us friends absolutely adored this place. It was so cute, so clean, and had a lovely fireplace where we spent the evenings chatting and listening to the river. Loved it so much! My only note is that I would say this place does not have safe and direct access to the river from the back of the house like I thought it may in the photos. That misunderstanding of mine was a slight hiccup for me when arriving so wanted to call that out in case anyone else may think it’s directly out back too. But there are SO many beautiful river access spots and very close to this house. One we loved was just four minutes away. We absolutely loved staying here and I highly recommend! :)

Gathering with Friends
We loved our stay at the Smith River Home. Location great for exploring the Redwoods, walking on local beaches in Crescent City and Brookings, and shopping. It was so fun to sit on the deck and enjoy the sounds of the river as it flowed past the house. The kitchen was well stocked, nice sitting area in living room and the dining area and kitchen also provided great views of the River. We enjoyed our morning walks in the quiet neighborhood. Blue ice in freezer was handy. A cooler for picnic food and perishable groceries would be handy. Bathrooms well stocked, however, instead of bar soap maybe body wash with a pump bottle. Bedrooms well furnished. Maybe a mirror in bedroom with twin beds and collapsable luggage racks in non master bedrooms. We felt area rugs in high traffic areas were a possible tripping issue. Thank you Dean for responding quickly to my questions during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your Smith River home.

Exceptional in Every Way
The River House is an exquisite property in an exceptional location. The casual, understated elegance of every detail and the soothing sound of the Smith River just off the deck help you leave the world behind. Light streams in from two sides through tall windows, highlighting the openness of the dining area, and inviting living room, and well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are positioned for privacy. Things were easy to figure out, and every communication we had with the host was clear, helpful, and prompt. We could not have asked for a better stay and feel blessed to have made memories at The River House.

Beautiful place to reconnect with nature
We've stayed at dozens Vrbo's rentals all over the USA, and this by far is our favorite. The host Mr. Dean was very responsive and easy to communicate with. What a beautiful deck over looking the river with the outdoor fireplace (plenty of firewood provided). The house has cool modern decor and the sun shines so brightly through the house.The king size bed was so comfortable with cozy linens and pillows. Nice towels and one of the only rentals that we have had Charmin provided. The kitchen was like being at home. Everything you need at your finger tips. The location was perfect . We visited Cresent City, Brookings OR, Trees of Mystery, Howland Hills Road and surrounding river access. We stayed 5 nights and wish we had a few more to enjoy this home. We felt so at home and welcomed. The worst part was having to leave.
