About this property
River's Bend - Your ultimate River Destination
River's Bend is a 3 bedroom, two full bath home surrounded by large beautiful redwood trees. There is a large deck around the house and a lower deck located right by the Smith River.
After a day of swimming, fishing, kayaking, rowing, biking, hiking or exploring, you can return to the house to relax for a BBQ, roast marshmallows or just enjoy the river view only 30 feet from the deck. The large living room and fully equipped kitchen have large windows to enable you to cook indoors or outdoors while taking in the beautiful view including the flowing river. With 1 bedroom and a full bath downstairs, it is easy to get a restful night sleep. The two additional bedrooms and a full bath located upstairs provide an abundance of sleeping space for everyone and a great view of the redwoods that surround the property. Its best features are the surrounding redwood trees, close proximity to the river and its very own waterfall.
By the way, if River's Bend is booked for your desired time we have just opened up two more vacation rentals in Crescent City by the lighthouse. Check us out! Lighthouse Point is VRBO #2897216. This is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath house that sleeps 8 in beds. Cottage by the Sea is VRBO #2923254. This is a very cozy studio with a full bathroom and kitchen. Both houses are a very short walk to the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Powell

We (Dave and Lavonne) have lived in Del Norte County since 1979. Lavonne, a true local, was born in Crescent City and raised about 4 miles from this house. Dave was born in Tennessee and was raised in Boulder, Colorado; Billings, Montana; and Spokane, Washington.
We met in Los Angeles in 1975 while attending LIFE Bible College, now LIFE Pacific College. We were married in 1977 and moved to Crescent City after graduation in 1979 to help Lavonne's dad run the family business.
We have lived in the same house since moving to Crescent City in 1979, raising our four sons in our beautiful home, surrounded by redwoods, and only 6 miles from this house, River's Bend.
Del Norte County is our home, we have deep roots here, and we are excited to introduce you to this amazing place!

Why they chose this property
We love the Smith River and over the years we have spent a lot of time on it - swimming, boating, tubing, fishing, and just relaxing. We had always wished that we could someday have a little corner of this river to call our own, to share with our family and friends. We were completely unaware of this house. Imagine our surprise when we stumbled onto this one-in-a-million property. Dave is a realtor in this area and was asked to show this home to a young couple moving to the area. Unfortunately, they were not able to get into the house due to there being VRBO tenants in the home (this home has a long VRBO history). That couple eventually bought another house on the beach in Crescent City but we were bitten by the beauty of the home and its surroundings.
What makes this property unique
When we first saw this beautiful house nestled in the redwoods we were amazed. And then when we saw Camp Six Creek flowing down the length of the property we were intrigued. But when we stood by the beautiful Smith River, looking up at this beautiful house and looking down at the deep clear waters, the beautiful rocks strewn around the swimming hole, and the year around sandy beach we were smitten. We knew that we must do anything we could to own this home, to enjoy it ourselves, to share it with our family, and especially to share it with all of you - friends from around the world whom we have not yet met.
