Lovely
The home was a very clean and comfortable home base for our Redwoods adventures. We cooked most of our meals there and everything worked smoothly. The spiral staircase may not be appropriate for very young kids or those with limited mobility but it was fine for our family. We appreciated the very responsive caretaker team!

Nice home with a gorgeous view!
The house was clean and the view from the back deck was spectacular! We were very close to the beaches in Crescent City, as well as redwood forests. It felt very secluded and private, which was really nice. The listing mentioned the spiral staircase to the lower level bedroom and bathroom. It was fine for our family, but could be an issue for some. The listing also mentioned kayaks, but there was only 1 pretty inexpensive kayak in the garage. If you are on a river and mention kayaks, I think you should have a couple of decent kayaks for people to enjoy getting on the water. Overall, we would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to see the Pacific Northwest!

I liked it a lot
Lovely view of the river. We spent a lot of time on the patio watching birds. The water was clear and we went swimming and kayaking directly from the property. Close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away that it felt private. You can see one of the neighbors from the back porch, but it still felt like a private experience. We didn’t see any of the infamous ants that were mentioned in the guest book or other reviews. Overall, great stay and I’d love to go again!

Neighbor's dog ruined the stay ☹️😣
The house was great, views were stunning, BUT the neighbors and their dog were awful!!! I could not keep their dog from constantly coming onto the Vacasa property. On the second day, while my dog was exploring the yard, the neighbor's dog came over and aggressively attacked my dog!! I got mine safely away from the other dog (pitbull/mix), the owners were outside with their children and did nothing! I contacted Vacasa right away and reported the incident. I was told there wasn't anything that Vacasa could do to help, that it was between me and the neighbor. I then wrote an e-mail to Vacasa, explaining the incident and the issue with the dog and no fence between the properties. The local sheriff's department responded and the dog aggressively attacked his night stick when he went there! Even after the owners were told warned to keep their dog in the yard, the dog never stopped coming over, even the next day it came over three (3) more times. I grew tired and stressed of having to keep my dog locked up, with only the upper deck for access to outside, so I left my trip a day early. 😢

Perfect location in the redwoods national and state parks
The home was perfect weekend get away. It had everything I needed to enjoy the beautiful scenic view of the deck and Redwoods national parks. I tried one of the Pizza restaurant recommended in the welcome binder and it had a great vibe and the food was excellent. If I’m ever in the area again I would stay again.

Right on the Water
Great property on riverside. Close to redwood parks (and some on property!). Phone service spotty, but it's rural and private. Internet went out for a day, but is was an area outage, not a home issue.

Great Getaway
Great location, close enough to town and far enough for privacy. The house is beautiful as well as the newly renovated areas. There is some normal wear, however it is well maintained. If you are OCD looking for anything, you can always find something. The plumbing/water works great. The only thing that didn’t work well for my wife and I is both mattresses were very firm, however good quality.

Cool house at great spot on Smith River
The view of the Smith River from the house’s 2nd story deck was great. We enjoyed swimming and wading in the river. The furniture and beds were all very comfortable. It was quite warm during our stay, so A/C would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. The ground floor stayed cool/comfortable and the evening breeze cooled off the upstairs at night.

Beautiful location, would visit again
Spent a week here and had a great time. The house is absolutely beautiful, loved the deck overlooking the river. Would 100% stay here again. However, the kitchen’s cleanliness was lacking (the provided spices were really sticky, some cups were not clean, but the rest of the house was spotless), and it was a challenge communicating with the owner/manager about pre-existing damages (it is a Vacasa-managed property). Additionally, a neighbor’s dog runs loose in the neighborhood and came onto the property several times, which made taking my dogs out a bit concerning. Managed to not interact with the dog at all so it wasn’t too big of an issue but something to be aware of for other dog owners visiting.

Quaint and Cozy
This is an older home that gives a sense of nostalgia. The view of the river was exceptional. We had a slight problem with the water pressure; however, the landlord's response was swift and it did not impede our vacation. They have notes around the house that are very helpful. One was about ants which helped us ensure we did not attract any. Overall, our family loved the house and would return.

Overall, an average stay
This property is in a great location on a beautiful river in the redwoods. Every morning you can sit on the porch watching the clouds waft over the trees. It is truly stunning. Overall, it was generally clean and had a well stocked kitchen. There were three main problems with this property: 1) the large tub has serious issues. We attempted to fill it three times, but each time the water came out greenish-grey and murky. Because of this, we felt hesitant to use the showers and tub, which made for a slightly gross trip after hiking all day and swimming in the river. Until plumbing is fixed, this is an issue. 2) It honestly feels like this places hasn't been well kept over the years. The deck paint is chipped and pealing, about a third the lightbulbs in the fixtures dont work, and about half of the fake candles and appliances have dead batteries or don't work. Overall, it feels like the owners likely don't stay here, so it doesn't stay very well taken care of. 3) finally, its just poorly designed. You can tell that no one actually lives in the space. The furniture is in strange places and there are some things that don't make sense. For example, the couch is no facing the TV, and the TV doesn't always connect. There is no kitchen or dining table if you wanted to eat. The light fixtures are either broken or very harsh, so at night the lights feel awkward. The spiral staircase is so small it is hard to navigate and my husband fell twice going up and down (we jokingly called them the "sketchy stairs"). Just a lot of little things that make this place feel less home-like. Please keep in mind, this is still a three star review. Overall, it was a gorgeous location, with a well kept kitchen, clean beds, good amount of space, parking ,etc. The reading nook was quite cute and the fireplace a nice touch. Overall just some general issues that can be fixed with some effort.
