My family had a wonderful stay! Sandy was an incredible host, very prompt with her communication and generously allowed us an early check-in and late check-out. The house was very comfortable, and looked even better than the photos once we opened all the window shades. Great front porch, plenty of bedrooms and extra blankets. Some noise from the highway in one of the upstairs bedrooms. We misinterpreted other reviews to mean that we could walk to hiking trails straight from the house; that wasn't the case, but there were several only a few minutes' drive away. Really ideal location for enjoying the Redwoods & Smith River, highly recommend!

Had a small concern, it was quickly handled. Was even given a location that would be good for family photos.

Everything was great at the house we enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room to park several cars. The scenery outside was beautiful and we were very close to the river, which was nice.

We had a nice time, but the property was not what I expected. Based on all the images of the river on the listing, I was under the impression you could see the river from the home, or easily access the river. This was not true. The home is located on a fairly busy & somewhat noisy highway. We set out to look for the river and cars were zooming by us, honking. Then, to actually access the river, we had to go do a steep, rocky embankment. There was litter, graphic grafitti and rusty metal all over at the site we accessed the river. We may have been accessing the river at the wrong location, but that is hard to say because the property managers did not provide any info. We called them to ask, and while nice, they were not very helpful. Overall, the home was nice. It was pretty much exactly what the pictures portrayed. It just wasn't a quiet retreat on the river like I thought it was going to be. The kitchen did not have seasoning, no coffee was provided for the morning, and there were not enough towels for everyone, though we had listed the number of guests coming to stay. I would recommend this place to people traveling long distance and just wanting a place to stay. I would not recommend this place to people from the region looking for a weekend getaway.
