Great location to stay when visiting the Redwoods. 15 to 20 minutes to parks, groceries and restaurants. Backyard is the highlight of this property. Stairs down to the river with a sitting area was great for morning coffee. House is older, but it's charm outweighs that.

The house is in a fantastic location. The cleanliness could be improved. Drain in bathroom sink was really gunked up, I had to clean it for proper drainage. The heater in the room adjacent to the kitchen is filthy, and needs to be cleaned. Bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked. Very peaceful and quiet.

The River House is a great place to stay. The Smith River is beautiful and peaceful, makes it serene. Crescent City, the ocean and redwoods are close by and lots of places to explore. Home has all the amenities needed for your stay. The ping pong table was an extra bonus! Would recommend this home if you want time to relax and explore.

We were thrilled to be able to take our pets and the main attraction was the setting right next to the river. Unfortunately the weather was too cold and windy to sit by the river. My one complaint was that the shower in the main bathroom didn’t drain well. Otherwise, beds were comfortable and all other needs were met.
