About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

We stayed at this precious cottage for our wedding and honeymoon! It was the perfect place for us. They had absolutely everything for a comfortable stay, (kitchen supplies, laundry things, bathroom essentials, fan, heater, extra bedding and pillows, plenty of towels). It was so clean and very cozy especially with the fireplace. We really enjoyed every aspect of this cabin and loved that it was right on the river. Honestly was so sad to have to part ways with it but we think we will be back at some point. Definitely worth it to stay here!

We had a wonderful stay. It was such a beautiful and quiet setting. When we were not in the Redwoods we spent a lot of our time sitting outside and watching the river flow. We were gifted fresh eggs, what a wonderful treat! All in all our stay was fabulous. We would stay here again if we get the opportunity.

The property is peaceful, homey, and beautifully situated on the Smith River. Beautiful view of the river with river access. The cabin itself is well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We loved all of the thoughtful details — extra blankets, nespresso machine with coffee and tea, a tea kettle,suncatchers, full hummingbird feeder, books and maps — all making it a wonderful place to spend time and recharge.

Cozy and inviting cabin nestled amidst the most picturesque setting alongside the river. Patti was a wonderful host and informed us of “Grove of the Titans” (which was a highlight of our trip) and even left us some homemade delicious granola on our doorsteps as a welcoming gift! Spectacular vacation rental! Sending good thoughts and prayers to you and your husband Patti for his continued healing. Thanks for sharing your special place with our family.

This property is a magical and charming retreat on the banks of a majestic river. Truly a splendid property to spend your time exploring the area, so much to experience in the area. This “fishing cabin” was the absolute perfect place with the host’s attention to every detail. Well worth a visit to feel the welcome!

The cabin is very private with incredible outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the Smith River. The cabin is clean, bed is comfy, and amenities are everything you could need. The outdoor space is very pet friendly but dogs should be leashed not fenced. Our Golden had a great time swimming. The private beach is amazing with pristine waters. This is our second stay.

Magical. From the lighted patio, to the sights and sounds of the river, to the cozy charm of the cabin, it was beyond wonderful. As soon as my husband and I drove up on our first night, we knew we wanted to extend our stay, and we were able to! It’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with yourself. The redwoods provided some amazing trails and spectacular views. We will be back!

We LOVED our stay in this magical cabin! It was so much better than the Vrbo photos and description (which is what drew us in!) You definitely want to stay in a place where so much attention is given to every detail! It's so beautiful inside and out. The babbling water from the river while in a super snuggly bed. The huge patio with chairs, firepit, and romantic canopy lights. It couldn't have been better!

We loved staying at this beautiful little cabin by the Smith River. It looks exactly like the pictures. Sitting and listening to the river was so relaxing. We loved it and although we will probably never be back to that part of the world again, we feel really lucky to have found it and made it a part of our trip.
