I liked the property and home. It rained on Sunday when we got up till about noon so things were wet on the deck; and a regional power outage for 9 hours from 6 PM on Monday to 4:30 AM the next morning. The 2 events cut our outdoor time back. We enjoyed a great blue heron across the river for hours and fish ducks and a big mallard and his mate. Bill saw a fisherman catch a fish. We played some horseshoes. The river house is pretty unique!

This is a cozy, comfortable home! We had a great time enjoying the river behind the house, and this place is very conveniently located to Jedidiah Smith state park, if you are looking to spend time in the Redwoods. The house itself has many great amenities, including games in the garage that my kids enjoyed playing with. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a quiet spot for a family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. It was in close proximity to so many things. We hiked in the Redwoods, went to the ocean, swam in the private swimming hole, roasted marshmallows, sat outside reading and watching the cranes, ate some great seafood at The Chartroom but also was able to cook some excellent meals in a well stocked kitchen. One half of the house can be closed off at night for privacy plus there was a pillow library and everyone got a pillow that they loved. I kept waking up forgetting I wasn’t home it was so comfortable. That’s honestly never happened. We had a great time and made some fabulous memories.

Absolutely beautiful views right on the river! The house was well-equipped with everything we needed—and more. We experienced a minor maintenance issue during our stay, but the owners responded incredibly fast. Within 30 minutes, a crew arrived and fixed the issue promptly. It didn’t affect our stay at all. The hospitality, responsiveness, and location make this place a true gem. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!
