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.

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.

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 Riverside Retreat!

All positive comments in all the reviews are true! This little cozy cabin is even better in person. 3 days was not enough to visit all the nearby parks and trails and the rugged Oregon coast. The cabin was so homey to return to each evening.The beauty of the river is awesome! Thank you!

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.

Incredible

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!

Property and river are beautiful. Cabin was perfectly cozy for our family of 4 & our dog. Our family loved having a trail directly to the river & the swimming was so much fun. Would definitely love a return visit.
