About this property

Newly built deluxe cabins, in a private redwood setting near the Smith River

Fern Hook Vacation Cabins are located nearby Jedidiah Smith State Park in the tiny hamlet of Hiouchi, California, where old growth redwood forests meet crystal clear waters on their way to the secluded beaches of the rugged north coast. Indulge yourself in a private setting of magnificent redwoods carpeted with ferns. Our newly constructed cabins with full kitchens, top of the line mattresses, and high thread count linens will provide deluxe accommodations while you enjoy this natural wonderland. Located just far enough up river to get out of the summer fog, but still a short drive to the beach. With attractions like the Wild Scenic Smith River just a short distance away and golf next door, it is easy to lose yourself in the astounding beauty and abundant recreation available. Whether you are fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, surfing, golfing or just plain relaxing, your experience at Fern Hook will be an enjoyable and memorable one!

Secluded Peaceful Retreat

WOW!! This is the place to stay if you want to take in the peace and quiet of the forest yet be close by to the activities this area has to offer. Enjoy coffee on the front porch in the morning before heading out to the sites - hiking and golfing nearby. The bed is extremely comfy and the extra blankets were appreciated.

Relaxing retreat

This cabin was perfect for our Redwood adventures. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was immaculately clean. The shower was great. We didn't get to meet the owner to tell him how much we enjoyed our stay. I hope we get a chance to come back.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The bed was comfortable, the shower was superb, and we loved the woods around the cabin. We didn't use it, but I loved that there was a picnic table under the trees and chairs on the front porch. We will come back for a longer stay sometime.

Adorable and Clean!

This little cabin in the redwoods was exactly what we were looking for! Located in such a beautiful area of the forest and so close to so many hiking trails and things to do. If you’re looking for a place to stay overnight on a long road trip or if you just want a little cabin getaway, this is the spot to go!

Wonderful stay

We are doing a long road trip from Seattle to Arizona. We arrived at this adorable cabin at 1am! I was so thankful to arrive and see a beautiful clean cabin where we didn’t have to do anything but curl up and go to bed. We will be staying here again on our way home!

A real cabin in the redwoods

If you are like us and want to cook your meals, this is not the place for you. It was really the only drawback for us. Other than that, It was a great location near a lot of hiking. Definitely a quiet location. You really felt you were among the redwoods.

I bought this piece of raw land, with the sole intention of creating a vacation experience unique to Hiouchi. its location is centralized to conveniently experience all of the areas attractions. All the while providing private wooded settings for multiple deluxe cabins.
