Smith River and Redwoods at their Finest

The Gables Manor hosted by Chris Howard is not only nestled beautifully on the banks overlooking the magnificent Smith River, but it is also clean, quiet and wonderfully managed and hosted. This is our third time staying with Chris and it will certainly not be our last.

A cool house with lots of character. Ideal location. Would like a few locks on bathroom doors and rooms to prevent accidental walk ins from kids in group. Owner great and prompt in dealing with any problems that arise (it is an older building). Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Amazing location!

We had a wonderful trip. The house comfortably fit our large family and friend group. The location was spectacular. The river was gorgeous and pristine. We spent days swimming at the nearby swimming hole and walking in the State Park. We are definitely making this an annual destination!

The house is big, clean, and so charming. We had 6 adults and 8 kids and it fit us well. The kitchen had any pot or pan we needed and some basic seasonings. The washer and dryer worked great and came in handy. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect place for a large family get together

We had a wonderful week with my extended family (8 adults and 2 kids). Chris and Lisa's home is so beautiful and spacious, with a gorgeous view of the Smith river and a prime location that makes for a very easy launching pad for adventures in the redwoods or at the beach. We loved the kitchen and dining room being comfortably big enough for a large group. Would strongly recommend!

The Gables Manor on the Smith River

Can't get a more convenient location if you wish to enjoy the Smith River and its surrounding Parks and ocean. Perched on the bluff overlooking the majestic Smith River this residence is big enough to spread out in and also offers a great wide-open kitchen area to cook and entertain! Great Host makes everything smooth!

Fantastic property and host

I can't even imagine a better place for a Redwoods family reunion. Fantastic location overlooking the river and right next to the redwoods. Beautiful house with really fun architectural details. Plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen with absolutely everything you could possibly want. Wonderful host. I wouldn't change a thing.

Time with family in a beautiful location

We love the Redwoods! This is our families most favorite place on earth. It’s got beautiful hikes and beach fun. This house was a perfect way to enjoy a week long vacation exploring and reconnecting. Great big kitchen to prepare meals. Big table to eat and do our favorite thing play games. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. And lots of room for the kids to play. This is perfectly located and the drive into town is so beautiful. The owners are quick to respond and the check in process was easy.

Thanksgiving in the Redwoods

Beautiful property in a prime location for hiking in the Redwoods. Kitchen was well stocked and home very comfortable including the beds. Enjoyed the waffle maker! We had a perfect week away. Hosts were very responsive and made everything easy. Even brought our French bulldog who enjoyed the big yard while we played shuffle board! Exterior windows need a good cleaning, but other than that, the home was very clean.

Magical stay

10 ladies came together for a relaxing three days on the river. 6 beds and 5 baths helped keep everyone comfortable. We had ample kitchen space and the owner came swiftly with anything we were missing. The views were amazing and we hiked the Hiouchi trail along the river just down the street. A local reiki healer came and helped us shift our focus for the upcoming season. The outdoor space has so much seating, which was nice and appreciated. Already planning dates to come again next spring!

Magnificent house overlooking Smith River

We are a group of 9 seniors who visit national parks each year. This spacious house was a perfect base for us to explore Redwoods National and State Parks. The Hiouchi Visitor Center and trail access was just minutes away. The house well served the needs of our group--with several bedrooms & 6 bathrooms. The large kitchen and dining area with windows looking out on the Smith River was a wonderful gathering spot conducive to community. The outdoor patio with tables, chairs, firepit, and barbecues afforded great views of the river and forest beyond. Owners were marvelous hosts who provided helpful communication and ease of check-in. Highly recommended!

Couldn’t stop smiling

This property was amazing. It is very comfortable for a friends and family reunion. The dining room was set up to handle our large group and the kitchen was never too small for multiple cooks. I loved the outdoor spaces especially the fire pit. The pool table in the rec room was a whole lot of hilarious laughs for us terrible pool players. This property is located practically in the middle of the redwoods and a quick trip to the shore. I can hardly wait for the next family reunion.

Celebration of 60!

The house and location is exceptional. The pictures don't really do it justice. The house has the charm of an old style manor, but the kitchen and bathrooms are updated, making the experience much more enjoyable. We were a gathering of college friends of more than 40 years. We had a couple of 17 year olds, everyone was entertained. The pool table and shuffle board were a nice diversion. Our group of 15 plans on definitely coming again.
