About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Very well appointed cabin. Beautiful outdoor spaces. The trek down to the river requires some skill but the gravel beach is perfect. The river is one of the most beautiful rivers on the west coast and probably in the world.

Dream Spot

We loved our stay here. The photos really don't do the location justice. It's such a cozy, tucked away place right by the river that it was exactly what our family needed. We had so much fun spending time by the river and the outdoors. We spent the days in the Redwoods or on the coast and this was a perfect place to come home to at night. The owners were extremely considerate and made us feel at home. Highly recommend.

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

Wonderful property

Our stay at this cabin in Gasquet was amazing. It was even better than the pictures show. The owners are great and stopped by, even leaving fresh eggs! The four of us, including our teenage son and younger daughter, loved walking down to the river. What an amazing place being shared with so many others. We visited the Simpson-Reed Grove, Fern Canyon and Big Tree Wayside while we were there.

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.

Perfect Riverside Retreat!

All positive comments in all the reviews are true! This little cozy cabin is even better in person. 3 days was not enough to visit all the nearby parks and trails and the rugged Oregon coast. The cabin was so homey to return to each evening.The beauty of the river is awesome! Thank you!
