About this property

Charming Riverside Retreat

  • Historic cabin built in the 1920's. Dr. Fine, the county's only doctor, used the cabin as his fishing getaway. The fishing hole is located at the big bend, just below the fork of the North and Middle Forks of the Smith River.

    Nestled among the old growth Douglas Firs, and a quiet beach with private access, this cozy cabin has it all!

    In all directions, are views of the pristine Smith River and National Forest. Birds are abundant! We are visited by Osprey, Kingfishers and a resident Bald Eagle. The yard brings songbirds and various bird species that provide hours of fun for birders.

We had a wonderful stay. It was such a beautiful and quiet setting. When we were not in the Redwoods we spent a lot of our time sitting outside and watching the river flow. We were gifted fresh eggs, what a wonderful treat! All in all our stay was fabulous. We would stay here again if we get the opportunity.

We loved staying at this beautiful little cabin by the Smith River. It looks exactly like the pictures. Sitting and listening to the river was so relaxing. We loved it and although we will probably never be back to that part of the world again, we feel really lucky to have found it and made it a part of our trip.
