About this property

Entire place

Charming riverside retreat

Historic cabin built in the 1920's. Dr. Fine, the county's only doctor, used the cabin as his fishing getaway. The fishing hole is located at the big bend, just below the fork of the North and Middle Forks of the Smith River.

Nestled among the old growth Douglas Firs, and a quiet beach with private access, this cozy cabin has it all!

In all directions, are views of the pristine Smith River and National Forest. Birds are abundant! We are visited by Osprey, Kingfishers and a resident Bald Eagle. The yard brings songbirds and various bird species that provide hours of fun for birders.

All the platitudes are true

A lot of reviews say things like, “I wish I could’ve stayed longer” or “We didn’t really need to leave the house” or “It was even better than the pictures”. Well ALL of these apply and are true for what certainly is a riverside retreat. The setting on the river is incredible. The outdoor patio space alone is like being at a resort. Then you get to walk down the poured concrete steps to the river and enjoy the

Smith River Charm

Cozy cabin with absolutely everything you need. Just bring your food and wonderful assortment of pans and spices to cook with. Close to mountains, redwoods, hiking trails, the Smith River, and at the right time of year - waterfalls! Not as secluded as we thought it might be, but still wonderful. We felt like we had complete privacy and we also felt safe. Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Incredible

Incredible stay; traveling with an infant and a toddler and a husky, and we were so impressed with how kid friendly, cosy and clean the property was. We came during a winter storm, and while we had issues with flooding and landslides in route, the property itself was everything we were hoping for. We will certainly be returning again!

Thank you again for a phenomenal stay so close to the Redwood State Parks. The cabin was beautiful, the river was perfectly challenging for our mini-whitewater adventure, and the hospitality was 110%. We will definitely stay again when we venture back to Northern California. Tom & Deneen, from Maine

This cabin on the Smith River was more than we ever expected! The peace and serenity was just what we needed.
