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!

Not for seniors with disabilities. Were looking forwarrd to. It was sweltering in s i being on the lake not above it with too steep a desent for us to walk it. Steps upto the house were not for us either. It was way hot 102 and we had been asked not to use air conditioner much. It was sweltering inside so we did use the air unit although it wasnt sufficient for the whole house. Kitchen was well stocked. Hair dryer would have been handy. All in all if we were physically more abled it would be a nice retreat but not when its hot. We came to enjoy some fishing from the yard but never put a hook in the water. TV controller hard to understand. It just wasnt what we expected.

About the host

Hosted by MARIAN ALLMAN

Host profile image
The owners of BMH live out of the area. They rented BMH many times through the years, and when it went up for sale, they bought it! That way, when they want to come up and fish, its here for them!

We bought the house across the street in 2014, just moving here from Crescent City. It just made sense to manage BMH for the guys, so close, can keep an eye out for them when they're not here! My husband and I are retired, absolutely in love with Gasquet! It's quiet, wonderful warm summers, and of course, the north fork of the Smith River! There is no river as beautiful as the Smith! You can count the rocks on the bottom in the summer, watch the shades of green change, day to day, in the winter!

Why they chose this property

This is not like a lot of California. We have the ocean, the giant redwoods, the cleanest and clearest river in the U.S., the Smith of course. Our county of Del Norte has only 25,000 people and no polution.
