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.

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.

Memories!

Our stay at Rivers Edge was wonderful. Close to the beaches, which my kids loved the most! Also, close to many beautiful hikes in the redwoods. Plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful view eating breakfast outside looking at the beautiful river. Lots of memories made. Thanks Erin and William!!

Beautiful property!!

We had a wonderful time. The location on the Smith River is awesome, our kids went down and explored and swam all afternoon. The house is a little dated but very clean with updated furnishings and it is very well stocked (the pictures are acurate). Erin and Bill seem to have thought of everything. We grilled, cooked s'mores on the fire pit and played badminton. We highly recommend staying here!

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.

Wish we could have stayed longer

The property was the perfect spot for our family. The home was perfectly furnished. There were lots of places to lounge and socialize, but plenty of room for privacy as well. Our kids enjoyed playing games, making Smores by the fire, and eating apples and pears off the fruit trees. The kitchen was so well stocked with dishes, accessories, and appliance I had a hard time finding a place to store our food. My only wish was that the river access was more kid friendly. The images of the river showed large river bars and what looked like a quaint swimming hole, but the home actually resides several feet above the river with large rock cliffs between the house and the water. While the kids loved rock climbing, we didn't feel safe having them swim there. However, the river bar is less than 400 yards down the road. We were grateful for the abundance of towels, as we spent more of our time in the water. All in all, it was a great retreat for us and we wish we could have stayed longer.

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…

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.

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.
Crescent City beach and showing off the pier we crabbed off of (caught 5 crab for dinner)!
The perfect backyard.
Ocean World’s tide pool.
Paddle boarding and kayaking 6 minutes from the house. The clearest river water I’ve ever seen.

Great Location for our Stay in the Redwoods

The property was right where we needed to stay for our visit to the Redwoods, but we felt it was a little run down and needed electrical updates/repairs. Water pressure was sub-par for bathing/showering. The path down to the river's edge was overgrown and difficult to traverse.

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.
