Country Redwood Home With Remarkable Smith River Views

Lovely place. Beautiful setting. Quiet. Comfortable.

This is our second time staying here, we love how clean it was and how cozy it felt. Also love being right on the river.

This home on the river was absolutely what we needed for a relaxing family trip. Dylan was easy to communicate with and helpful. The house was very well stocked, well taken care of and comfortable. The views/sounds of the river were wonderful. We saw otters playing, deer, ducks, and banana slugs-such an enjoyable respite from the busy-ness of life. (One thing to mention is the steps down to the river are very steep. This wasn’t a problem for us but may be to those with limited physical abilities.) At just around 20 minutes to Crescent City, we were close enough to town and we spent several days hiking in the Redwood forest. Overall, it was a great trip and we would definitely recommend this property.

We had an amazing stay and the house was perfect for our home base to explore the beach and the redwoods! We loved having the river access available as well. The pool table was a big hit our kids were hooked. Thank you again for letting us enjoy your beautiful home…we will be back:)

Wonderful property! We will definitely be back!

Spacious, private, beautiful home with all the amenities we would hope for in a picturesque forest and river setting. Easy access to the property. Great communication with the owner. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go again!

Our family stayed for spring break and we had the best time! We didn't want it to end and wish we could live here. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place that takes you back to simplicity. We enjoyed breathtaking views of the Smith River and had deer visit in the front yard. Everyday was a new adventure either exploring the Redwood Forest or playing at the beach. Awesome host with great communication.

It was nice and quiet. Very private location

Beautiful property. Very peaceful. We hope to return soon!

We rented the place to stay at for our quiet elopement wedding (just the two of us), it was exactly what we were looking for. It’s quiet, but not isolated, sits right along the River with a *beautiful* picturesque view, and river access. The property grounds are spacious and lovely as well. The house itself is a clearly well loved and maintained house. Clean, good amenities, and just very homely. It was exactly what we were looking for, and we loved every minute of being there. Absolutely plan to visit again in the future for more quiet get-aways. Fantastic host and communication as well

There's real love felt in the property, you can tell it's a beloved family spot that they allow others to share in. It's beautiful and peaceful and comfortable.

We loved the quite secluded feeling of this house, it also felt very clean and homey inside.

It was a wonderful stay. My family and I enjoyed very much. Thank you for let us stay in Dylan.

Our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kids) fell in love with the Smith River at Dylan’s wonderful retreat. We came from the east coast to experience the redwoods and were so grateful we chose this as our residence for a week (in between long drives and shorter stays that took us from Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA). We arrived late at night and woke up to breathtaking river views well worth the long drive. We had amazing weather but even if we hadn’t we would have been happy to spend all day watching the river through the picture windows - sitting in the cozy chairs or playing pool. The property abounds with wonder - from the redwood playhouse to wild thimbleberries and the sound of the river from the upstairs bedroom. Comfortable beds, mini splits for hot or cold days, a well stocked kitchen, 2 bathrooms, wonderful books - including several nature guides, and room to sprawl out and relax indoors and out made for an ideal home base that we were eager to return to on the days we ventured out, including hiking & swimming upriver at Jedediah State Park and exploring the southern Oregon coastline. Honestly, discovering all the wildlife right there in the Smith River (Caddisfly larva, bank nesting swallows, banana slugs, foothill yellow legged frogs, kingfishers and great blue herons) was a major highlight for our slow-paced nature loving family. We made memories for a lifetime here, and if we ever return to this region we hope to be able to stay at Dylan’s place again. Many thanks!

It was our first trip to California and we definitely made the right choice for booking our stay with you. The home was absolutely beautiful and accommodated our every need. The scenery was breathtaking, even the neighborhood was welcoming. We are already discussing about our returning trip.

The property was beautiful. Also very peaceful and quiet. Everyone loved it and did not want to leave. Next summer we will come back and stay more days!!

Great family vacation spot with lots of privacy, located right along the Smith River. Had a small hiccup with the water/septic system on the final morning of our stay, but would definitely stay here a third time. Highly recommend.

The house was great and the location was amazing! The peaceful sound of the river, the quiet neighborhood, the plentiful amount of redwoods on property, the horseshoe pits, and the convenience to the state parks made our short trip absolutely perfect. We would certainly book this house again if we're back in the area.
