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. ##### diane s.

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.

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. ##### Nancy N.

We could not have picked a more perfect location & property for our vacation! The description & pictures truly do not do it justice! The host was easy to communicate with & he provided us with not only any & all info relative to our stay, but also dining recommendations & history of the property. The home has a special charm, is beautifully appointed, & is cozy & comfy. We only ate out twice while there, as I love to cook. I have never rented a home with a kitchen so well stocked…I had a blast preparing meals! The scenery is simply breathtaking, with the river right off the deck. So many things to do nearby. The Redwood National Park entrance was less than 10 minutes from the house. The neighborhood is quiet & the house felt secluded. We made new friends with the neighbors across the street & enjoyed entertaining on our deck! Crescent City is less than 30 minutes & worth visiting. The Battery Point Lighthouse was a worthy excursion. We can highly recommend the Seaquake Brewery in Crescent City, as well as the Hiouchi Cafe between Gasquet & Hiouchi. We definitely plan to return! Thank you, Dean, for being the quintessential host! ##### Cindie M. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha M.

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. ##### Samantha M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise S.

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. ##### Louise S. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie S.

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! :) ##### Stephanie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy W. Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Nancy W.

Gorgeous midcentury modern decor with thoughtful touches and creative art pieces throughout the house. The newly renovated kitchen is wonderful to cook in and the deck brings inner peace as you listen to the river and watch the stars while listening to david bowies starman and black star. (Quietly so as not disturb the neighbors). Location is east of jedidiah smith redwoods and was a great place to visit redwood state and national parks from. Cabin is far enough from the coast to avoid coastal fog. If youre flying into medford hit the trader joes and stock up before heading out. Owners were very responsive. Our only regret was not staying longer. ##### Cara M. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason B. Apr 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jason B.
