Smith River Castle Hotels

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was super friendly and the rooms are large and clean. The beach was only a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area."

"Beautiful area, very clean rooms, this is our 4th time staying at Howonquet Lodge and would stay again. The Casino has lots of complimentary beverages, would be great to have more options for hotel guests too. Coffee ran out twice in the morning which was unfortunate and only two types of caffeinated tea. "

"This property is quite old!! But it is as advertised very relaxing!!! We could hear the waves coming in and the sunsets were gorgeous. I was a little disappointed that a full sized refrig was on the listing… it is quite a small refrig.. the pans were adequate. The silverware was very sparse. No sharp knives!! I wanted to cut up an apple. I wish i had asked more questions. I took bottled water in because I wasn’t sure if the water was safe!! I would have loved to have a crock pot in there..The bed was adequate while I truly believe that the mattress was quite old. We debated about turning it around, but chose not to!!The chair is very old a rickety. My husband needed to keep his legs elevated and that was a real problem as he got tired of laying on the bed. Then could hardly get out of the chair. I loved the dresser space to unload our clothes!!Others on their reviews complained about the noise !! We had noise too, but remembered times when we took our grandchildren to hotels. Kids are just noisy so we chose to just appreciate those little feet noises!! The other renters were very apologetic to us. That was kind. I went and bought a mop so I could keep the floor clean. I am unclear if the 3 rolls of toilet paper were supposed to last the week? No problem we bought more then left it!!Every effort has been made to modernize it. We especially enjoyed the back deck and the yard for our 3 year old Malshi’s to run in!!I would definitely stay here again. "

"Other than a slight hiccup on check in, was an absolutely wonderful experience."

"We srayed there while working in the area. Enjoyed walking on the beach in the evening. Its a little small but cozy. "

"Our family of three -- wife, son, me -- plus our dog stayed a night here on a trip down the pacific coast. Great little place a short walk from an easily-accessed beach that was never crowded and great for dog-walking. Hot tub was a nice addition. Main bedroom was comfortable and the upstairs bedroom was nice for our son.Food can be found about 5-10 minutes in either direction, possibly closer. There's a nice town about ten minutes north, into Oregon, that has a fine selection of restaurants for take-out. Cabin also has everything you'd need to cook there if you wanted to. "

"We loved the layout and location. The cabin is charming but could use some work. The cabin was clean and comfortable for 2 having a night in."

"The room was downstairs which wasn't a problem until another renter came in. The floors are wood and we knew every step they took. "

"Just my mom and I used this home at the beginning of August. We both love this home. It’s perfect for two people. Or if you’re a couple with a child, this works out really well. Bring a fan because the house doesn’t have a fan if you need some air circulation, otherwise we’ll be back here again next August. Great location. Close to restaurants and the private festival. Quiet here. Great view of the river and ocean. Just love this place. "
