About this property

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.

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

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.

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.

Spring Road Trip 2025

I have stayed here before and loved every minute I was there. I decided to stay a week and enjoy days hiking and exploring the Redwoods, Crescent City and a visit with my sister In Grants Pass. Having this lovely cabin as my home base was perfect. It has all the things you need to have a great trip. The owners are kind and helpful. It made a great base to have while I hiked, walked, drove through beautiful Redwoods, spent time at Crescent Beach, and ventured up to Oregon to Grants Pass and Medford. I enjoyed the stunning Smith River and waved at friendly rafters and kayakers. I could not have asked for a better time. Weather was outstanding. The cabin was warm and inviting after a day of exploring. Overall a grand time. I look forward to returning to this fantastic place.

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 Getaway

We had a long weekend and had been throwing the idea of doing the redwood national and state parks for a while. We split our trip up, one night in eureka and two nights here, and this was absolutely the highlight of the trip! We even cut some of our hiking time down to come back to the cabin and hang out by the river. The cabin was peaceful and quiet, and overall is was such a dream. We can’t wait to come back! Ps. My husband set off the fire alarm accidentally the first night and property owner was so very nice even though we were thoroughly embarrassed.

Peaceful Christmas retreat

My husband and I and our Bernedoodle, Ruthie, enjoyed a holiday retreat at this wonderful cabin on the Smith River! What a cozy and charming hideaway! Our hosts were so generous and had thought of everything that we might need - including fresh eggs and Christmas candies and condiments. The supplied lanterns and battery candles were appreciated, as a winter storm came with lightning and thunder, high winds, torrential rain, and a power outage! The lousy coastal weather did not dampen our holiday spirits though... we just hunkered down in the warm cabin with books, t.v. and card games! We did get a break in the weather to go to the Redwoods, and up to Brookings to see the Christmas lights. Christmas dinner down at the Elk casino - a fabulous feast, and one breakfast at the Hiouchi Cafe which was delicious! This was a lovely Christmas and we couldn't have been happier in spite of the weather! We would love to return to this sweet little cabin again! Five stars for Patty, Bob, and their property manager! Super hosts!

Incredible stay; traveling with an infant and a toddler and a husky, and we were so impressed with how kid friendly, cosy and clean the property was. We came during a winter storm, and while we had issues with flooding and landslides in route, the property itself was everything we were hoping for. We will certainly be returning again!

Lovely cabin in an extravagantly beautiful location.

Cabin seems smaller on the outside than it actually is on the inside. Inside it's clean, cozy, and well stocked. HUGE deck in front with tables, chairs, heater, gas fire pit, hammock, and a short walk down to the river, which is just beaytiful.
