No matter what the season, Gasquet is always beautiful! Inquire soon as the Months of May-September always fill up fast! Mid-January - Mid March is traditionally blocked off for our owners during fishing season, if you are coming up to fish, make an inquiry with us and we often accept last minute rentals January - March even if the calendar shows booked.

WHY STAY IN A SMALL HOTEL ROOM when you can have all the comforts of home in a beautiful surrounding.

This is a private vacation house on the Smith River and completely furnished with all modern conveniences. Very private on one acre of land. All landscaped by nature with many pine, cedar, fir and madrone trees.

Our vacation home is located within the Smith River National Recreation Area along the banks of this pristine river. Only eight miles to the west is Redwood National and State Parks where some of the tallest redwood trees in the world reside.

Twenty miles west is the Pacific Ocean and the southern entrance to the Oregon coast. Fifty miles east are the Oregon Caves National Monument. We have 150 feet of riverfront property where you can, swim, snorkel, kayak, canoe, raft, fish, or just relax and enjoy the scenery.

If you are into winter steelhead fishing this is the place to be, December thru March. There are several fishing spots on the property and in the area we can guide you too. When the river level is at the bottom of the ramp fishing is perfect right there!

If you are in the area come by and check us out. We are right on the waters edge at 600 Gasquet Flat Rd, Gasquet, Ca. Look for the 'BMH LODGE' sign on the pine tree in front yard.

Road Trip

This stay was our stopping point of a 2024 road trip. We wish we could have stayed longer because sitting on the back deck looking at the crystal clear Smith River was just wonderful. And being so close to the Redwood National Park was an added bonus. Marian and John were great hosts and gave us suggestions on some additional hikes close by. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Redwoods Get Away

Our stay at BMH was wonderful. The place was just as advertised. We had plenty of room during our stay. This was the perfect base camp for exploring the surrounding Redwood parks. The area was quiet and the cabin being right on the Smith River was a plus. The deck overlooking the river was also very inviting. The place was clean and had all stated appliances. If ever I return to this area I know this is where I'll stay!

A true gem!!

As always the perfect getaway. The only downside to staying at this lovely home is the trouble deciding whether to go out and partake of the many nearby adventures or to just stay on the deck and soak up all that the passing river has to offer! Marian, thanks again for your hospitality!

Bliss in Gasquet

Our stay at the BMH VRBO was amazing! The hiking in that region is spectacular. The Smith River is probably one of the most beautiful rivers I've seen. I'm an old guy, I've seen a lot of rivers and lakes. The sleeping accommodations were great and the beds were very comfortable. Marian, the host, is a gem! Terrific communication and readily available when we had a slight challenge with the hot water. She delivered some fresh eggs to us one afternoon which we thoroughly enjoyed the next morning. I would highly recommend staying at the BMH.

Comfortable launching point for Redwood exploration

Our family of 5 immensely enjoying this home as our launching place for Redwoods National and State Parks. Marian was fantastic with timely communications and even so gracious as to loan a crockpot!!! The home is definitely dated but clean and in good working order. The setting on the Smith River is serene, relaxing and a cozy location to sit out the storm that greeted us. Crescent City is just 20 minutes away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home!

Perfect River cabin

My husband and I had a lovely, peaceful week at BMH cabin this year. Our favorite place to sit in the afternoons was the wide deck overlooking the Smith River with its unobstructed views. There's also a nice dining table/chairs on the deck, and a fine bbq unit and a sink. The interior is very well equipped and very comfortable with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; and everything was very clean and fresh. The location in Gasquet is perfect for exploring the Smith River National Recreation Area with its many interesting botanical preserves, and it's a very short drive to the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park with many magical trails to explore, or to Crescent City and the Tolowa Dunes State Park area with its gorgeous beaches. We even went out on an ocean fishing expedition one day and came back with a fine halibut (thanks for the recommendation, Marian!) This would be a fine spot to stay for the excellent salmon fishing on the Smith River during fishing season, but it's a great spot for a couple of wandering botanists! Next time we'll try and come a little earlier in the year to catch the spring bloom...we'll definitely be back!

A slice of heaven

This is a truly special place located right on the Smith River. This home welcomes and embraces you when you walk in. The home itself is cozy & filled with character and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The main living area is SO comfortable, with a large TV, if you can pull yourself away from looking at the Smith River through the expanse of windows allowing you great views (not to mention the peaceful sound of the river). A large comfortable back deck provides an even better view of the river and a great place to enjoy coffee and take it all in. Bedding is almost too comfortable. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is just down the road and is a magical place. Walking among these majestic, ancient trees leaves you in awe (and feeling a bit small and humble). This place definitely seeps into your soul, leaving you with a sense of calm, peace and serenity. And last, but definitely not least, Marian is a true delight. We had a problem with our e-mail before we arrived and she made sure we had everything we needed to get there and met us when we arrived. We really enjoyed meeting and talking with her and she was so helpful making sure our stay was wonderful. This is a place to make very special memories, which we definitely did. Hardest thing was leaving - we drove across the country from the east coast to get here, thinking it would be a one time trip, but after our stay here, we can't wait to come back!!! Thank you, Marian, for sharing your wonderful home!

The best stay!

I had read reviews of the home and expected a clean and comfortable stay, but my expectations were exceeded and it's worth another mention in this review! The cabin is spotless, the kitchen is stocked, the deck furniture is clean and comfortable, the appliances are clean and working beautifully, the bathrooms were lovely, and the beds perfect! I visited with my family and our German Shepherd dog and we did not feel the age of the cabin at all. We hiked the Redwoods, which are just next door, each morning and came back to our cabin to enjoy the deck and playing in the cleanest river I've ever visited each evening. On top of that Marian ended up being a wonderful and warm host, so kind and as welcoming as the cabin. I truly have nothing bad to say about this place and would encourage anyone to book this place, pets or no pets!
