Our stay was good! All amenities were provided by the host. The house needs some updates and a new well, it was impossible to shower and run any water amd we had 6 people. Other than that it was a great family vacation!

We had an excellent 2 night stay at the river home. The owners have done special touches of beach towels and elegant linens as well as plenty of games for use on the property and in the house. We had a beautiful view of the river and a quiet stay. We definitely recommend this house for families and couples.

Great house! Our family loved the badminton and variety of games to play after dinner. Comfortable beds, 2 living rooms, and beautiful outdoor space with great views of the river and mountains. Short drive to Crescent City for shopping. Will definitely be back!

Property was nice. House could use some updates. Master shower is very small, the bed isnt comfy and the door is coming off the hinges.
We spent most of our time at the park or outside and just needed somewhere to sleep and shower. Water pressure is lowwww. The kitchen was beautiful.

This was our second time staying at the River House, what a view and great location. You could be at the Stout Grove in minutes, hang outside at the Rivers edge or even sit on the nice patio and enjoy the gas fire pit. We enjoyed our 2nd stay and couldn't even use all the space the house had.

Perfect location with all the amenities for a Northern California vacation. Home was very comfortable and well maintained. Plenty of room for the kids to play outside.
Location was absolutely beautiful and right next to the awesome Smith River, yet less then 20 minutes from town and even less to the Pacific Ocean. The hosts were very communicative and offered to help if there as ever a need.
We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this to anyone.

This property is so amazing. My husband, myself, my brother and sister in law, and our six kiddos loved the location and set up. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy and the view of the river was amazing. The bird watching is amazing and we got to see (and swim with!) a family of otters! The fishing and swimming in the river was relaxing and fun. The location of the house is amazing; close to hiking and the ocean. The water pressure/temp in the showers was the only issue we ran into and wasn’t that big of a deal for us. It was beautiful and enjoyable and we are so grateful we got to stay in this lovely home.

Perfect location to relax and beat the heat. Was disappointed with lack of water pressure to take a shower. Ended up just taking a tubs to get enough water. Master bed was not to comfortable and because we had extra room moved to the room across hall bed was great awesome comfortable sheets and pillows. Trail to the river could use some trimming.

We had a wonderful time. The location on the Smith River is awesome, our kids went down and explored and swam all afternoon. The house is a little dated but very clean with updated furnishings and it is very well stocked (the pictures are acurate). Erin and Bill seem to have thought of everything. We grilled, cooked s'mores on the fire pit and played badminton. We highly recommend staying here!

The house set up was better than anticipated. The owners were communicative and the home well stocked and comfortable. We enjoyed the river. The access to the river was as easy as the owners could make it but was rough terrain at the waters edge. Loved that with a group of 10 there was enough to keep everyone entertained.
