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 had a wonderful stay. It was such a beautiful and quiet setting. When we were not in the Redwoods we spent a lot of our time sitting outside and watching the river flow. We were gifted fresh eggs, what a wonderful treat! All in all our stay was fabulous. We would stay here again if we get the opportunity.

We stayed at this precious cottage for our wedding and honeymoon! It was the perfect place for us. They had absolutely everything for a comfortable stay, (kitchen supplies, laundry things, bathroom essentials, fan, heater, extra bedding and pillows, plenty of towels). It was so clean and very cozy especially with the fireplace. We really enjoyed every aspect of this cabin and loved that it was right on the river. Honestly was so sad to have to part ways with it but we think we will be back at some point. Definitely worth it to stay here!

The property is peaceful, homey, and beautifully situated on the Smith River. Beautiful view of the river with river access. The cabin itself is well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We loved all of the thoughtful details — extra blankets, nespresso machine with coffee and tea, a tea kettle,suncatchers, full hummingbird feeder, books and maps — all making it a wonderful place to spend time and recharge.

This property is a magical and charming retreat on the banks of a majestic river. Truly a splendid property to spend your time exploring the area, so much to experience in the area. This “fishing cabin” was the absolute perfect place with the host’s attention to every detail. Well worth a visit to feel the welcome!
