We had an amazing time on our family vacation at the Shmitie House! This year we chose this home for our annual family vacation and it did not disappoint. We spent a day at Jedediah Smith State Park playing in the water and floating on our river tubes, and then a day on the beach in Crescent City building sand castles. We will be back next year for sure!

Kelsie was an awesome host. Very responsive and very flexible with my request. The house was perfect for our big family. It had all the things we needed for our two days stay. The area was very quiet but not very well cell phone service (not the hosts fault). When we came across things that we were concerned about, she responded quickly. We were just happy my huge family and I were able to stay in one house together. Thank you!
