Crescent City, California
Thirty minutes from Crescent City, this charming, hand-built, off-the-grid cabin on the South Fork of the Smith River is the perfect blend of funky/rustic and cozy/comfy. In the winter, curl up in a rocking chair and enjoy a roaring fire in the cast iron woodstove. In the summer, open up the windows and let the forest breezes refresh you. Three large bedrooms sleeps up to 7 comfortably. The master bedroom upstairs opens onto an enormous deck perfect for yoga or enjoying your morning coffee while planning your days on the river or coast. Cook up the fresh fish you catch on the world-class Smith River or buy from the fishing boats in the Crescent City harbor in the well-appointed kitchen complete with gas range. Enjoy your meals on the wrap-around deck, under the shade of the dogwood tree. Help yourself to apples, Asian pears and figs from our home orchard in season. Spend your evenings outside listening to the river around the fire circle, or watching a DVD from our eclectic video library.
A short trail thru the woods takes you down to the River, where you can spend the day reading a book borrowed from our extensive in-house library, or kayaking, rafting or swimming in the cool waters of the river or sunning on the flat, warm boulders at the water’s edge.
Adjacent to the National Forest, our cabin is in the heart of the Six Rivers National Recreation Area; a hiker’s Paradise. The historic Kelsey Trail is literally steps away. This recently rediscovered trail was the original route from Fort Jones to Crescent City, and has just been rebuilt with the help of the California Conservation Corps. The southern trailhead is a 5-minute walk from the cabin, and hikers can walk upriver up to 8 miles along the trail as it follows the South Fork and beyond. Or just go far enough to take advantage of some of the emerald green swimming holes less than a mile away.
We don’t have satellite or cable television, cell phone service or wireless internet access, AND WE LIKE IT THAT WAY! We invite you to unplug, unwind, put the screens away, and experience the truly interactive worldwide web of life. See Nature: the original 3D…Cell phone service is available from a number of spots along South Fork road and Highway 199, and Crescent City has all the modern conveniences, including internet coffee shops.
If you appreciate solitude, privacy, wildlife, birdsong, and the music of the river that runs through it, we look forward to sharing our “Bliss Place” with you.
Wonderful cabin for a quiet morning. Fantastic redwood hikes and deep swimming holes nearby. My family appreciated the lack of internet access and enjoyed cooking, sitting in chairs talking or reading, and sleeping in comfortable beds. After four nights, we had a hard time leaving.
Fantastic place to get away from it all. Beth & Clark were great. Redwood and coast hiking close by. But the river tops it all for us. Cool, deep turquoise swimming. The clearest water. Swam every day. Sad to go. Grateful we were able to experience this magical area. We'll be back again. Thank you.
Bliss place is gorgeous- very comfortable and relaxing - no cell reception started out rough but after a few days the silence and time spent with family was awesome. Thank you for letting us stay
It was a great experience from start to finish. Place was easy to find and was ready to go when we got there.. Beautiful looking cabin and just as nice inside. Quiet and peaceful.. Did not miss the cell phone or TV!! Nice selection of books and Dvd's.. Great fishing on the river below.. Nice trail to get there but was a little tough on a 50 year old fat man but I made it down and back!! Lots of Nice Redwood Groves in the area with easy to hard trails. Time flew by to quickly. I will stay here again!! Only thing I would recommend is.. Movable free standing hammock on the upper deck and more comfortable furniture. I liked the rustic furniture but it could use a NICE Lazy boy recliner.. Five Star Place Here!!
My sister and I enjoyed out stay, The house is at the end of a driveway and is very private. We were able to relax and unwind. There is no cell service, however we thought that was a plus. Thank you again.
We booked our reservation to this property based on a friends' recommendation. It does take a while to get out there, but it is nice and secluded. Absolutely no other noise than sounds of nature. We can definitely recommend it to others. The stairs going up to the upper bedrooms are a bit tight if you happen to be bigger or taller, and the ceilings are a bit low upstairs also due to the roofline. But, other than that, its a great place in a beautiful area.
This place was perfect. We enjoyed it. And had a nice fire and a small glass of congac to calm things down in the evening time. Saw deer from the window. And drove to the ocean during the daytime. 5/5 excellent place
Peaceful!!!!
Deeply Nourishing in the peace of the Smith River area. Just a darling rustic cabin with all the modern amenities. We just loved this place and will definitely be back. Thank you for such a great retreat.
