About the host

Hosted by Rene' Shanle-Hutzell

Host profile image
Although new to Vrbo hosting, we have been hosting friends and family for decades in the Pacific Northwest. When you live in paradise, you get a lot of visitors! Our home is also in the redwood forest ON the Wild and Scenic Smith River just down river from our vacation home. Guests who stay at our home say the same thing: this place is special!

We love to share tips on hiking, kayaking and just enjoying this serene and beautiful spot in the Redwood National and State Parks.

Our summer is spent on the river! Swimming. Kayaking. Floating. In fact, if YOU float or kayak downstream, you may see us with our two German Shepherds out on the water.
It's an everyday event for us. We love it here and hope you will as well.

Why they chose this property

Private Getaway in the redwoods!
Located in a quiet neighborhood of only 5 homes with a private access trail to a sandy beach which only a handful of neighbors use.

You are literally IN the redwoods ON the river.

Exactly 1 mile to Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park and the Hiouchi Visitor Center.
And the three greatest trails in the Redwood Park are just across the river!
Grove of Titans (new)
Boy Scout Trail
Stout Grove
And if the majestic towering redwoods and pristine Smith River aren't enough, take a 12 minute drive to Crescent City and head to the beach. Pebble Beach and South Beach are two of the favorites, with free parking and easy access.

Golfing?
Del Norte Golf Course in in Hiouchi, just 4 miles away.

What makes this property unique

Can't say it enough.
Redwoods On The River is just that.
Rustic Luxury IN the redwoods and ON the bank of the Wild and Scenic Smith River.

What makes this property so special?
Besides the redwood trees in the front and back yard and incredible view of the Smith River...guests have access to a private trail that leads to a sandy beach on the river. Most of the banks are rocky, so this sandy beach is a treat.
And, best of all, only accessible to a handful of our neighbors and YOU!

We LOVE the river life and hope you will, as well.
We provide kayaks, paddles, life vests, picnic basket, beach towels and toys and even a floatie or two for chilling.

When people ask, "How far are you from the Redwood National and State Park?"
It's exciting to respond, "We're almost IN it!"

One mile from the entrance to the famous Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
One mile from the Hiouchi Ranger and Visitor Center.
Across the river from 3 of the best hiking trails!
Grove of Titans (new)
Stout Grove and
The Boy Scout Trail.
