About this property

Who says you need to rough it to explore the outdoors?

The Trapper’s Cabin is a 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin located in the heart of Gasquet, CA, conveniently situated off the 199 highway. Gasquet is 20 miles from the ocean, 10 miles from the Redwood National Forest, and sits directly on the Smith River. Come for the many adventures that the tallest trees, cleanest river, and secluded beaches have to offer, but stay for a sense of pure serenity.

The cabin is just a short walk to the river. There is a fish cleaning station and grill in the backyard for anyone who is lucky enough to catch a prize winning steelhead or salmon. The immediate neighborhood is perfect for bike rides, hiking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, mushroom hunting, berry picking, bigfoot hunting, bird watching, quartz or gold mining, and stargazing. There is also an amazing massage therapist within walking distance, in case your adventures have left you feeling a bit sore.

At the Trapper’s Cabin, you will have a spectacular view of the Adam’s Station, a local landmark. The view will take you back to the 1800’s, when Mary Adams Peacock entertained the many travelers who stopped at her B&B for a warm meal and comfortable bed. Yet, the cabin itself, has all the comforts and amenities of home. It has been designed for the explorer who still likes to come home to a memory foam mattress and smart TV.

There is a queen sized mattress in each of the two bedrooms, as well as two cot-sized day beds in the living room, in case you need to sleep six. There is also a full kitchen and small laundry room. The backyard is secure and well suited for pets or small children. Although the cabin is relatively private, after a walk around the neighborhood, you will find that Gasquet has some of the most friendly neighbors around.

NOTES:
There is only one market in Gasquet with limited groceries. You will want to come prepared if you plan on cooking. The nearest grocery store is in Crescent City (20 miles west) or Cave Junction (35 miles east). There is also only one restaurant in Gasquet (Patrick Creek Lodge) and one restaurant in Hiouchi, the next town west, (Hiouchi Cafe).

If you would like to book a massage, fishing trip, kayak rental, etc. you should do so well in advance. The following is a list of resources:

Absolutely perfect!

We had to scramble to find a place that allowed dogs at the last minute and this cute little bungalow was perfect! From the fresh cookies to the basket of doggie amenities, we felt right at home. Back deck and yard were wonderful. Would definitely stay there again.

Home Away From Home

The CUTEST VRBO that had all the amenities of home but in a centrally-located place within minutes from rivers, ocean and the Redwoods. Also dog-friendly and made the trip so much more special being able to take my dog with me.

Great house near State/National Redwood Forest

This was a great little house for our family of four and two dogs. The dogs loved the backyard and the teens loved the porch swings.

Amazing area and home!

This home was beautiful! Very clean and dog friendly! It has a large fenced area for the dogs and even a dog basket full of different items to use, (which our dogs loved the bed). The kids very much enjoyed the front swings and the large map on the wall. Great place and will visit again!

Great base camp for exploration

My partner and I enjoyed our stay. It was cozy and comfortable. Our dog enjoyed the large fenced in backyard and the fenced in front porch! While not all of the area excursions are dog-friendly, we enjoyed hikes in the Smith River Recreation area, Walker Road, Crescent City, and the Trees of Mystery.

Perfect for dogs and people

This place has everything we wanted and needed. Secure fenced yard for furry friends. Dog blankets, bed and towels. Kitchen has everything you need. Thanks for the snacks! Comfy beds and living space. Nice outdoor dining on the deck under the redwoods. So close and convenient to the park and Howlin Hill Road. Wish we stayed longer and we will be back.

Cabin in the Redwoods

Gorgeous cabin in a beautiful area. This place was secluded and quiet but also only 10-15min drive to many trails in the Redwoods. Backyard was spacious and gorgeous we are all our meals out there.

A Birthday Adventure

We stayed at this quaint cabin/cottage on a beautiful quiet street. Trees galore and it makes for a beautiful walk or a lovely run. The backyard has a large deck with a barbecue grill and down below is a fire pit. It was a perfect place to explore the redwoods.

Stay was okay, have a few suggestions

Dog friendly, nice fenced area for them! There was no comfortable place to sit! We played cards and our backs were aching. The front room “couches” are boards with mattresses on them. Beds too tall and uncomfortable. Only one washcloth, super cheap thin toilet paper. Glass coffee table (dangerous) and flimsy slippery rug under it. Not warm/inviting or cozy at all.
