About this property

Come relax and play with family and friends at the River's Edge.

Fishermen, birdwatchers, active families or those searching for a quiet getaway; there is something for everyone at the River's Edge vacation rental. This is a one acre property located on the beautiful Smith River. We have lots of room to run and play for the kids. We have an assortment of fun yard games to enjoy while you visit. This is a cozy cottage style home with wood burning stove in one living room and a gas fireplace in the other. The four bedroom, three bath home provides plenty of comfortable sleeping arrangements for 10 people. The main house has three bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is a detached suite with two queen beds, a full bathroom and a laundry area. Enjoy the view and the sound of the river from indoors or outdoors, your choice, as there are plenty of windows to enjoy the view.
The property backs up to the pristine blue waters of the Smith River with a short and easy trail right down to the water. There is a fun rock landing to enjoy the water for fishing, swimming, floating or kayaking. There is an outdoor grill and a propane campfire available. There are various hiking trails throughout the nearby area. Jed Smith State Park and camping area is about 5 miles up the road. We are about a 10 minute drive from the Pacific Ocean and beaches. The beautiful Oregon coastline is only about 20 miles up the road. We have many games and puzzles available for rainy days or evenings. Crescent City, Ca and Brookings, Oregon offer so many options of fun for our tourists and the River's Edge is conveniently located in between. We are convinced your family will enjoy your stay. We live nearby if you have any questions or needs.

Was okay.

Property was nice. House could use some updates. Master shower is very small, the bed isnt comfy and the door is coming off the hinges. We spent most of our time at the park or outside and just needed somewhere to sleep and shower. Water pressure is lowwww. The kitchen was beautiful.

Perfect Location, great amenities

Rivers Edge has so much to offer. Smith River runs along the back of the property. The house has ample room, natural light and everything you’ll need; and a separate suite with two beds, washer, dryer, fridge and its own little bathroom. Outdoor seating with a river view and a fire pit is an extra bonus. The property owners are great and very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property.

Enjoyable stay with family

Our group was made up of 5 adults and 2 kids. The kids enjoyed having their “own house” where they got to stay up late with their aunt. We had quite an enjoyable stay and enjoyed our morning coffee with a river view and nights around the fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked, and the coffee maker was awesome. The house is in the perfect location for frequent trips to Jed Smith Park, hitting the swimming holes off the 199 in Gasquet, and trips to Brookings, Oregon. Our only complaint was the hot water pressure of both houses, it was very, very low. We have stayed here twice before and this was the only change from the previous times. Overall we had a lovely stay and thank you again to Bill & Erin for allowing us to stay in their lovely home.

Stunning

This property is so amazing. My husband, myself, my brother and sister in law, and our six kiddos loved the location and set up. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy and the view of the river was amazing. The bird watching is amazing and we got to see (and swim with!) a family of otters! The fishing and swimming in the river was relaxing and fun. The location of the house is amazing; close to hiking and the ocean. The water pressure/temp in the showers was the only issue we ran into and wasn’t that big of a deal for us. It was beautiful and enjoyable and we are so grateful we got to stay in this lovely home.

Great location

Perfect location to relax and beat the heat. Was disappointed with lack of water pressure to take a shower. Ended up just taking a tubs to get enough water. Master bed was not to comfortable and because we had extra room moved to the room across hall bed was great awesome comfortable sheets and pillows. Trail to the river could use some trimming.

Great for our family

We had a great time during our stay. Home is in close proximity to Jed Smith State park, Brookings, OR, and Crescent City. Some type of critter got into the trash from the previous vacationers and it was strewn across the lawn when we arrived. The fury visitor struck again 3 more times during our stay, so I think a locking device for the trash is needed. Everything else was great, and we would love to stay again.

Ideal location

Can’t beat the location! Loved the room with the two queen beds. The beds were very comfortable and it felt updated. It also had a tv and mini fridge. The owners went out of their way to provide everything we needed. The only thing I didn’t realize from the post is that the outdoor fire pit described isn’t for fire wood. Would stay again!

Loved the location, my grandchildren had a great time on the rope swing on the river.

Everything was very nice loved the back yard, very relaxing. We had some great meals using the nice kitchen. I only wish the bathrooms were a bit more updated. All in all we had a great time, it is so beautiful up there. Thanks again!

Lovely Stay

Plenty of room for our family of 7, inside & out. Erin & William had things on hand we'd forgotten and what a help that was. Coffee maker for a pot or kcups. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking, including a blender. Beds were comfy and we even grabbed blankets & popcorn to watch a movie. With the level of the river this summer we had to use nearby access, except for our most agile rock hoppers who made it no problem. We enjoyed the beach, Jerry's Jet Boat tour, Battery Point Lighthouse, Mammal Sanctuary, Sea Quake Brewing, Crescent City, Trees of Mystery, Jedediah State Redwoods & fresh fish from the docks...it was a great trip!

About the host

Hosted by Erin or Bill Smith

Host profile image
My husband and I are new to the VRBO business and very excited to express our hospitality through this venture. We have lived in Crescent City for almost 20 years. We love this area and are certain that you will too.

Why they chose this property

River properties do not come open for purchase frequently, especially on the beautiful north bank side, so when we saw this charming home for sale, we had to have it to share with those wanting to experience life on the river.

What makes this property unique

When we walked into the living room that has stunning views of the Smith River, a peace and calm washed over me. I hope you feel the same when you stay at our home. If you love to hear the sound of the river but don't really want to be outside, just open up the back sliding glass door and relax. If you desire to be on the water and playing in it, take the short trail right down to the river and dive right in.
