The Smith River provides a lovely backdrop to the amazing views of the water

This is our second stay at this house. It's big & comfortable, with all you might need for a larger group.Not fancy - which is perfect for us, since we bring our dogs.Close to so many great places, in all directions.

Great Family Vacation Spot on the Smith River

This VRBO feels like you are staying at a friends home -- the furniture feels cozy, the house set up is fantastic for a large family gathering, and the kitchen is well appointed for preparing meals. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds (3 overlooking the river) and one bunk room with 4 twin beds, two large dining areas, and a comfortable family room with a warm fireplace. We had a great weekend at the house with 6 kids and 6 adults since it was pouring rain outside and miserably cold (typical for a March weekend). If we revisit the area, we would stay here again.

Great stay. Relaxing and beautiful.

Chris was great to work with and very friendly as was his son who showed us the ropes. Being right in the Smith River was fantastic and we were still close to the ocean. The property was peacful and relaxing. My family and I loved it and would highly recommend.

Cozy Location

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Del Norte. The house was exactly like the description, it had everything you would need for a long weekend and felt private and cozy. Perfect location whether you want to hike or explore the coast. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to vacation in the redwoods.

Relax by the River

We truly enjoyed our stay at this home. It was spacious enough for our large group and had plenty of gathering spots so we never felt like we were sitting on top of each other. Having the windows open to hear the river was so relaxing! We had everything we needed and the beds were so comfortable.

Such a gem of a place. The view off the river and the backyard is totally underrated. Plenty of space for my family reunion to gather. We roasted hot dogs one night at the fire pit after a day of hiking in the redwoods and playing in the Smith river. Location can’t be beat

Great place

Wonderful house in a beautiful place with amazing views. Plenty of room for everyone and great kitchen and dining area for family meals. The solarium with the pool table was so fun! The river access is pretty steep but the river is absolutely beautiful. We were not able to bring our paddle boards or kayaks down there but there are spots where you can put in close to the house.
