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.

Beautiful property!!! Worked well for our family! Very relaxing and had the best stocked kitchen I have ever stayed at! I brought extra pots and pans and didn’t even need them! Beds were very comfortable and the whole property was very clean! Stayed with my family and in-laws. I recommend this property.

Family retreat

Really appreciated the easy river access and outdoor seating for sunny days! All the water playthings were used and enjoyed. Large indoor spaces for gathering/dining worked well for us. Variety of kitchen equipment helped us, including outdoor barbecue. Additional sleeping space across breezeway worked great for 4 grandsons. Comfortable beds in main house.Wonderful and memorable trip! Glad we could share the special environment of Smith River and Redwoods with our extended family!Good to see the Hiouchi Cafe has upgraded in the last few years…

We LOVED our time here. Honestly, absolutely the perfect kid and family friendly home.We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. This home/area has it all! We kayaked the Smith river, saw river otters, caught frogs, fish, and were able to explore the redwoods only a few minutes from the house! We also went to the beach and went crabbing off the pier in Crescent City and toured Ocean World. We attended a farmer’s market, the cheese store, SeaQuake brewery, and the Chart House restaurant as well. (The kids enjoyed the park right on the beach too.)We also ventured up the coast, less than 30 min drive, and went to Brookings to get fresh seafood and check out the beach there.Every night we’d come back to the house, and relax outside -listening to the frogs and enjoying a glass of wine. We even made s’mores over the firepit one night! We were able to jam so many activities into our week long stay. My 7 year old daughter actually cried when I told her we were heading home on our last day. She said this was her favorite vacation yet! Thank you for everything! The home and amenities were just outstanding.

Run Down Horrible!!!!

I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals. None are perfect but most all of them show the owner cares for details or upkeep. This one absolutely not! Looked nothing like the pictures. Run down! Looks and feels like someone’s grandmother left it to them in 1980 and done nothing with it since except throw it up on VRBO. Appliances didn’t work. Stairs to river completely overgrown. Very unsafe! Green algae all over the outside of the house. Weeds all in the beds. Completely broken grass Couldn’t use the pots they were so old the teflon got in our food. Chairs around the table broken. Only midgets could use the master shower. Kitchen cupboards probably never cleaned out. Completely unorganized. Doors coming apart. I can keep going… We actually left early it was so bad. Probably nice in its day but definitely not now.

Wonderful river home

We had an excellent 2 night stay at the river home. The owners have done special touches of beach towels and elegant linens as well as plenty of games for use on the property and in the house. We had a beautiful view of the river and a quiet stay. We definitely recommend this house for families and couples.

Location and view

This was our second time staying at the River House, what a view and great location. You could be at the Stout Grove in minutes, hang outside at the Rivers edge or even sit on the nice patio and enjoy the gas fire pit. We enjoyed our 2nd stay and couldn't even use all the space the house had.

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.

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.
