Pioneer Cabin Retreat
Welcome! Pioneer beckons lovers of nature, adventurers, folks who appreciate togetherness and existing in the moment with loved ones. Cozy up in this cabin surrounded by natural beauty. Guests will enjoy close proximity to the Smith River and Redwoods, opportunities to swim, hike, raft, fish, adventure and relax. We provide a space which family and friends will use to build life-long positive memories while experiencing the natural magic this special place has to offer.
The exterior of this old Forest Service cabin is rustic, with raw wood siding and gingerbread style facia board trim. Our large water tank collects water from the natural spring up the hill, and chopped wood is stacked under the carport for the wood burning stove inside. The a-frame cabin shares the land with many native trees and shrubs including cedar, fir, manzanita, huckleberry and rhododendron. Perhaps the most striking of all is the view of the mountain side and Monkey Ridge from the living room and back deck. Inside the cabin is cozy and somewhat minimal. The small kitchen offers all cooking basics and essentials, and the propane barbecue is located on the deck. The bedroom and loft are comfortable for sleeping and include lounge/work spaces. Casual dining may be enjoyed indoors on the madrone slab table, or on the deck at either of the two provided seating areas. The fire pit in the back yard may be used during designated burn months (please check local Forest Service regulations and clear with host).
The cabin is a destination in itself and acts perfectly as a home base for all outdoor and local adventures, while still feeling rural.

Great little spot, close to NorCal wonders
Would definitely stay here again. The spot, the story, the vibe and feel - just like home, or like staying at a friend's place.
Cute, cozy, accurately described but in person is even better than expected.
Gracious and communicative hosts
