At Recently opened the Redwood National Park Riverfront Retreat, guests consistently praise the scenic Smith River setting and easy access to redwood parks, along with spacious, comfortable accommodations suited for large groups and families, and responsive, friendly hosts.
Reviews frequently highlight very clean interiors and well-equipped spaces for cooking and gathering, plus extras like a pool table, fire pit, and reliable Wi-Fi. Many note the short drive to Crescent City and coastal beaches from the Smith River setting. Some mention the driveway can be tricky to find or that direct river access is steep, and a few point to minor maintenance wear. Ideal if you prefer cooking at home and gathering together after days on the trails.

This property was very convenient as we did several nearby hikes. Also there were wonderful swimming spots nearby. There were 9 of us and plenty of bedrooms and beds. One night we used the fire pit to make s’mores. We also had a good time playing pool in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked. WiFi was good as everyone had at least one device and we didn’t have any problems. There was a good selection of DVD’s and games. Overall our family really liked the house and location.

Our family love the outdoors. This home was perfect for adventuring out to the Smith River, the redwoods and the coast. We hiked, fished and lounged on the beaches of both the ocean and the river. We brought lots of games to play, but everyone just really had fun playing pool! Even the baby! We also played basketball, which was a great treat after a long drive. We celebrated meals at the large tables. The rooms were perfect, everyone had a place to stay. The balcony views are amazing. We have no complaints and thought this host and hostess were the best! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality!

Such a gem of a place. The view off the river and the backyard is totally underrated. Plenty of space for my family reunion to gather. We roasted hot dogs one night at the fire pit after a day of hiking in the redwoods and playing in the Smith river. Location can’t be beat

There was something for everyone here! Pool table was so fun overlooking the river, and when we weren’t in there we were working on a puzzle on the large dining room table. Lots of adventures and exploring near by. Especially loved to see all the generations enjoying time together, from a 9 year old to a 90 year old. Kitchen was convenient to use and we all slept sooo well, thank you!

Location was absolutely beautiful. In the Redwoods. River access from the house is not easy, but hop in the car for a quick one minute drive with easy access to the river behind the house. Easy 15 minute drive into Crescent City for beach or shopping. Super comfortable home furnishings. Everything we needed was there. Owners were great to work with.

Our family and our friends’ family stayed here for about a week. We loved the house. The views can’t be beat. Waking up to the river every morning was divine. The house was large enough to fit us all without feeling like we were stepping on each other. The kids could run around outside, and loved the pool table in the sun room. We wish we could have stayed longer, and will definitely be back.

TL; DR- Stay here, it's amazing! Our stay here was absolute perfection! We stayed 6 nights, with 10 adults (ages 25-61) & had the BEST time. The listing is accurate, it's super clean, & pictures do not do it justice! Favorites: - Location: Nestled in the Jed Smith forest you're in the heart of nature but with wi-fi, plumbing, & Crescent City only 12 minutes away. Neighbors on one side but due to the landscaping you'll feel totally secluded. - THE VIEWS! Each window overlooks grand forest, the river, or lush gardens. A feast for the eyes & the air smells incredible! - Super comfy mattresses, great pillows, & fantastic sheets. - The (softened) tap water tastes GREAT. We typically prefer bottled water but all chose the tap water over store bought! - Quality kitchen appliances + tools; grill + firepit were great too. - Actual comfortable adult seating for the whole group in the living room + dining. - Chris (the host) was communicative & friendly. - Thoughtful details everywhere. Notes: - Master bdrm has no curtains on the river facing windows. Stunning views + private but bring an eye mask if not an early riser. - Direct river access but good shoes & some scrambling required. Easy river access is just down the road. - No AC upstairs but ceiling fans + opened (screened) windows kept it plenty cool. Don't miss: - Sunrise/sunset on the deck with a warm beverage - Breakfast at Hiouchi Cafe - Stout Grove This is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. ♡

Wonderful house in a beautiful place with amazing views. Plenty of room for everyone and great kitchen and dining area for family meals. The solarium with the pool table was so fun! The river access is pretty steep but the river is absolutely beautiful. We were not able to bring our paddle boards or kayaks down there but there are spots where you can put in close to the house.

We had a family trip to the Redwoods and loved staying at this big accommodating home near the Smith river. The views are spectacular and location of home perfect for visiting the Redwoods or Crescent City/beaches. We appreciated the details, size, and amenities of the home! We very much enjoyed the fireplace too. My suggestions are to switch out the large rectangle table with a slightly smaller one and complete various maintenance work on the home (securing pockets on the pool table, make sturdier the bar chairs, install missing hooks in bathrooms, fix leaky sky window, and make sturdier outside deck).

The view of the river at this home is absolutely breathtaking. Easy access to the river for fishing was extremely convinent, and kept my family busy. Great location, beautiful golf course less than 2 miles down the road; also, not a long drive to Crescent City. The home had all the accomodations we could ask for, and was comfortable. Heating was also sufficient. We can't wait to plan our next trip to visit this location again.

The rental home was beautiful, comfy beds, very clean and the view of the river just out the backdoor was spectacular! The owners were very responsive and nice. So close to the old Redwood trees and gorgeous river and just 5 minutes the other direction is the Pacific Ocean and beach with amazing views and gorgeous sunsets. This place is perfect to see it all! I Highly recommend this for your stay in Northern CA.

The house itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for our family (group of 12). The location was a bit tricky, but follow the guidance given to locate the driveway to the property. It would have been nice to have access to the Smith River from the back of the property. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant place to stay and the views were beautiful.

The spacious riverfront home nestled in the redwoods right next to smith river was a true gem. The extensive garden provided a tranquil escape, complementing the stunning river views. The interior was tastefully decorated and offered ample room for relaxation. The location was slightly challenging but the seamless check-in process and the host’s thoughtfulness added to the charm of this exceptional getaway. Highly recommended for those seeking a blend of nature and comfort with big family. Chris was so nice to be constantly communicating with us and explaining the details which went into making of this beautiful home! We would absolutely return to this memorable home.

A beautiful view, quiet, private location. Well located for touring. The host was very responsive to questions and needs. The kitchen is better stocked than any I’ve ever rented and the host made a point of saying if we lacked something, just ask. The beds and seating need some updating … things are getting worn.

This VRBO feels like you are staying at a friends home -- the furniture feels cozy, the house set up is fantastic for a large family gathering, and the kitchen is well appointed for preparing meals. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds (3 overlooking the river) and one bunk room with 4 twin beds, two large dining areas, and a comfortable family room with a warm fireplace. We had a great weekend at the house with 6 kids and 6 adults since it was pouring rain outside and miserably cold (typical for a March weekend). If we revisit the area, we would stay here again.

The house is located on the beautiful Smith River, just a short drive to Jedediah Smith State Park. We were able to take several walks in the Redwoods during our week long stay, and traveled south to visit Prairie Creek State Park as well. The large living areas in the house provided plenty of room for the five of us. We especially enjoyed the comfy living room furniture and large dining and kitchen tables. Falling asleep to the sounds of the rushing waters of the river every night was the icing on the cake.

We typically prefer bottled water but all chose the tap water over store bought! - Quality kitchen appliances + tools; grill + firepit were great too. - Actual comfortable adult seating for the whole group in the living room + dining. - Chris (the host) was communicative & friendly. - Thoughtful details everywhere. Notes: - Master bdrm has no curtains on the river facing windows. Stunning views + private but bring an eye mask if not an early riser. - Direct river access but good shoes & some scrambling required. Easy river access is just down the road. - No AC upstairs but ceiling fans + opened (screened) windows kept it plenty cool. Don't miss: - Sunrise/sunset on the deck with a warm beverage - Breakfast at Hiouchi Cafe - Stout Grove This is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. ♡

Chris was great to work with and very friendly as was his son who showed us the ropes. Being right in the Smith River was fantastic and we were still close to the ocean. The property was peacful and relaxing. My family and I loved it and would highly recommend.

We stayed at this property very comfortably with 7 adults, 4 kids, and a toddler. The landscaping and river views are beautiful, and the house has everything you need to be a home base for seeing the Redwoods. Some of the best hikes in the Redwoods State and National Parks are just up the road. Host was very responsive. 100% would recommend to friends and family!

Due to a major forest fire that closed roads and put evacuations in place in many neighboring areas, we were unable to stay at this lovely property. Chris was extremely understanding, communicative and flexible, and gave us a full refund. It was very sad to miss this opportunity, but as they say “nature bats last.” We hope to stay here in the Smith River in the future!

The host’s recommended areas for possible seal and sea lion sightings and we were not disappointed. The area around this home has everything for experiencing outdoor activities. Hopefully we’ll return one day. Thank you again Chris and Lisa!

We had a two week stay for a family vacation and had a wonderful time hanging out, enjoying meals, playing games, going for walks in the redwoods, etc. Very relaxing and enjoyable. And the hosts responded immediately when the microwave quit and they installed a new unit the same day. Couldn't ask for better communication and response. You won't be disappointed!

My wife & I, our 3 grown kids, their spouses & 3 grandchildren spent a terrific week here in June. The location was perfect to visit many Redwood forest hikes, Oregon Coast beaches, the Battery Point Lighthouse, and many other areas. A week was the perfect length of time to take everyone to an area of the country that most have not visited, making the trip a huge success for everyone. Plenty of bedrooms, great common areas & beautiful view out the back of the property! I've already compiled our 1000 photos for the week & made family videos that will ensure that the week will be talked about for a long time!! :)

Had a great stay at the property. A little hard to find the first time, but after that a piece of cake. Amazed that we saw so many large redwoods just driving to the place. Although we had a lot of rain, and we were not able to make much use of the deck and outside, the inside was more than adequate. Owner was available to help with questions and we had a great stay. Would also stay there again if we find ourselves back in N. Cali.

The house itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for our family (group of 12). The location was a bit tricky, but follow the guidance given to locate the driveway to the property. It would have been nice to have access to the Smith River from the back of the property. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant place to stay and the views were beautiful.

Location was absolutely beautiful. In the Redwoods. River access from the house is not easy, but hop in the car for a quick one minute drive with easy access to the river behind the house. Easy 15 minute drive into Crescent City for beach or shopping. Super comfortable home furnishings. Everything we needed was there. Owners were great to work with.

The house is located on the beautiful Smith River, just a short drive to Jedediah Smith State Park. We were able to take several walks in the Redwoods during our week long stay, and traveled south to visit Prairie Creek State Park as well. The large living areas in the house provided plenty of room for the five of us. We especially enjoyed the comfy living room furniture and large dining and kitchen tables. Falling asleep to the sounds of the rushing waters of the river every night was the icing on the cake.

This property was very convenient as we did several nearby hikes. Also there were wonderful swimming spots nearby. There were 9 of us and plenty of bedrooms and beds. One night we used the fire pit to make s’mores. We also had a good time playing pool in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked. WiFi was good as everyone had at least one device and we didn’t have any problems. There was a good selection of DVD’s and games. Overall our family really liked the house and location.

This VRBO feels like you are staying at a friends home -- the furniture feels cozy, the house set up is fantastic for a large family gathering, and the kitchen is well appointed for preparing meals. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds (3 overlooking the river) and one bunk room with 4 twin beds, two large dining areas, and a comfortable family room with a warm fireplace. We had a great weekend at the house with 6 kids and 6 adults since it was pouring rain outside and miserably cold (typical for a March weekend). If we revisit the area, we would stay here again.

We spent the days cooking and eating, playing games, and watching the river rise and fall. It was lovely. The property is beautiful and just as advertised. Chris was very communicative and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Our family love the outdoors. This home was perfect for adventuring out to the Smith River, the redwoods and the coast. We hiked, fished and lounged on the beaches of both the ocean and the river. We brought lots of games to play, but everyone just really had fun playing pool! Even the baby! We also played basketball, which was a great treat after a long drive. We celebrated meals at the large tables. The rooms were perfect, everyone had a place to stay. The balcony views are amazing. We have no complaints and thought this host and hostess were the best! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality!

Lots of adventures and exploring near by. Especially loved to see all the generations enjoying time together, from a 9 year old to a 90 year old. Kitchen was convenient to use and we all slept sooo well, thank you!

TL; DR- Stay here, it's amazing! Our stay here was absolute perfection! We stayed 6 nights, with 10 adults (ages 25-61) & had the BEST time. The listing is accurate, it's super clean, & pictures do not do it justice! Favorites: - Location: Nestled in the Jed Smith forest you're in the heart of nature but with wi-fi, plumbing, & Crescent City only 12 minutes away. Neighbors on one side but due to the landscaping you'll feel totally secluded. - THE VIEWS! Each window overlooks grand forest, the river, or lush gardens. A feast for the eyes & the air smells incredible! - Super comfy mattresses, great pillows, & fantastic sheets. - The (softened) tap water tastes GREAT. We typically prefer bottled water but all chose the tap water over store bought! - Quality kitchen appliances + tools; grill + firepit were great too. - Actual comfortable adult seating for the whole group in the living room + dining. - Chris (the host) was communicative & friendly. - Thoughtful details everywhere. Notes: - Master bdrm has no curtains on the river facing windows. Stunning views + private but bring an eye mask if not an early riser. - Direct river access but good shoes & some scrambling required. Easy river access is just down the road. - No AC upstairs but ceiling fans + opened (screened) windows kept it plenty cool. Don't miss: - Sunrise/sunset on the deck with a warm beverage - Breakfast at Hiouchi Cafe - Stout Grove This is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. ♡

The river access is pretty steep but the river is absolutely beautiful. We were not able to bring our paddle boards or kayaks down there but there are spots where you can put in close to the house.

We enjoyed coffee in the morning while listening to the Smith River. We sat upstairs on the balcony and watched shooting stars. We roasted marshmallows in the cool night air. It was honestly a dream.

This place was great for two families of 4. Chris is an awesome host. Sleeping to the sound of the river in comfortable beds. The only thing I would add is if you want to interact with the river, it’s probably a short drive if you have kids due to fast moving traffic outside the “compound”, but it would not stop us from coming back.

This house was perfect for our family trip to the Redwoods! Plenty of space and amenities to enjoy. We loved the indoor fireplace on the chilly mornings and the firepit outside at night. The view of the Smith River was great from the deck and upstairs balcony. The privacy of the area was also very nice. It was nice to come back each day after hiking to such a comfortable home. I highly recommend!
