Beautiful log vacation cabin on the banks of the Smith River in Smith River

Nestled in a redwood forest near Jedediah Smith Redwoods State
Park, on the bank of the "Wild and Scenic" Smith River, this cabin
is perfect for serious fishing, family vacations, honeymoons,
retreats or just a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature.

with two twins. Both with skylights and cable TV. There is a

Second smaller cabin is located about 30 feet from the main cabin.
This is never rented out to a different party than is using the main
cabin. It has a queen bed, bunk beds and a small loft. Also has
cable TV and a full bath. It's perfect when two couples are renting
the cabin, or a great place for the kids to stay.

The log cabin was built in the 1930's as a fishing cabin. It has
since been upgraded, but it still has a wonderfully rustic and
comfortable feel to it. The cabin is about 10 miles inland from the
coast, barely a mile from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and
right on the bank of the undamned, "Wild and Scenic" Smith River.
We have easy river access to one of the best steelhead and salmon
fishing spots on the Smith. Last year two of our guests hooked 22
steelhead in one day. In November you can reliably see salmon
spawning right below the cabin.

This cabin is very private. The closest house is over 200 feet
from the cabin and impossible to see through the trees. You are
surrounded by a forest and a river. It's like having your own
private park with all the comforts of home.

Close by are miles of fern-lined trails through ancient redwoods.
If you want to touch and be touched by an ancient redwood forest,
this is the place to come.

The Smith River is unbelievably beautiful. It is protected in its
natural state throughout its length, is crystal clear and perfect in
the summer for swimming, canoeing (canoe available--no charge),
tubing, rafting, cut-throat trout fishing or just sun bathing on a
sandy beach in front of the cabin.

You might also enjoy the wildlife. This area is still mostly the
way God made it. It is common to see osprey, otters, mergansers,
kingfishers, sandpipers, dippers and even an occasional bald eagle.
In the spring the wildflowers are awesome. If you like
blackberries, late July through mid-August is when you want to be
here.

We are about a 20 minute drive from the coast and some spectacular
beaches. These beaches are dog friendly with lots of drift wood--
perfect for evening campfires and roasting hot dogs.

Fishing in the fall and winter is what this cabin was built for.
Unfortunately, you need to get reservations in early for this time
of year.

The cabin is also a perfect home base for exploring this part of the
world. It is a 30 minute drive to the start of the famous Oregon
Coast Scenic Highway, with day trips to the Oregon Dunes, Oregon
Caves, Sea Lion Caves, Ashland Summer Theater, Britt Festival, jet
boat rides up the Klamath and Rogue Rivers and many other adventures.

The weather here is absolutely some of the best in the country.
Scientific American recently ranked Del Norte County in the top
five counties in the United States for the best weather. We have
mild summers(60's to 80's) and mild winters (40's to 60's). We
average about 90 inches of rain a year and that comes between
November and May. But no one minds the rain; if you're a fisherman,
you love the it!
