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 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.

The cabin is very private with incredible outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the Smith River. The cabin is clean, bed is comfy, and amenities are everything you could need. The outdoor space is very pet friendly but dogs should be leashed not fenced. Our Golden had a great time swimming. The private beach is amazing with pristine waters. This is our second stay.

Magical. From the lighted patio, to the sights and sounds of the river, to the cozy charm of the cabin, it was beyond wonderful. As soon as my husband and I drove up on our first night, we knew we wanted to extend our stay, and we were able to! It’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with yourself. The redwoods provided some amazing trails and spectacular views. We will be back!
