House was beautiful, property manager extremely nice and helpful with any requests that I sent his way. Location of home for a getaway was perfect and well needed. The sound of the river put us all to sleep every night! Would recommend to anyone looking for that escape from every day craziness!

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.

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!

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.

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.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Much to do around the house and many sites to see. We had 16 family members for 5 nights and would do one field trip per day, otherwise stayed at house playing games, grilling, cooking, etc!

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!

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!

We are a group of knitters who like to hike and cook. This spacious place near Jed Smith was perfect for us. Easy in and out, and communication with property manager when we lost hot water upstairs was fast.
