About this property

Entire place

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.

During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Smith River. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.

Everything from the cabin, to the location was perfect. This place is one of those gems you don’t want to share because it’s that amazing. I would love to stay here again when my fiancé and I come back to the area next to year to elope. Thank you to the hosts for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin!

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!

It was in a lovely location, and I thoroughly enjoyed the riverfront views, swimming in the river, sleeping to the sound of the river. Kitchen was well equipped and things were located logically.

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.

A beautiful getaway above rhe river

A cozy, veey well equiped cabin with a large patio area overlooking the river. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen is well equiped with nice cookware, dishes and utensils. There is a washer and dryer, games, books. A hammoc, barbeque, picnic table and lots a seating on the patio. The trail to the river is short but steep with a rocky beach along a beautiful swimming area at the bottom. A very quiet neighborhood.

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.

Very well appointed cabin. Beautiful outdoor spaces. The trek down to the river requires some skill but the gravel beach is perfect. The river is one of the most beautiful rivers on the west coast and probably in the world.
