About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Riverside Retreat

Historic cabin built in the 1920's. Dr. Fine, the county's only doctor, used the cabin as his fishing getaway. The fishing hole is located at the big bend, just below the fork of the North and Middle Forks of the Smith River.

Nestled among the old growth Douglas Firs, and a quiet beach with private access, this cozy cabin has it all!

In all directions, are views of the pristine Smith River and National Forest. Birds are abundant! We are visited by Osprey, Kingfishers and a resident Bald Eagle. The yard brings songbirds and various bird species that provide hours of fun for birders.

The property is peaceful, homey, and beautifully situated on the Smith River. Beautiful view of the river with river access. The cabin itself is well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We loved all of the thoughtful details — extra blankets, nespresso machine with coffee and tea, a tea kettle,suncatchers, full hummingbird feeder, books and maps — all making it a wonderful place to spend time and recharge.

This property is a magical and charming retreat on the banks of a majestic river. Truly a splendid property to spend your time exploring the area, so much to experience in the area. This “fishing cabin” was the absolute perfect place with the host’s attention to every detail. Well worth a visit to feel the welcome!

We loved staying at this beautiful little cabin by the Smith River. It looks exactly like the pictures. Sitting and listening to the river was so relaxing. We loved it and although we will probably never be back to that part of the world again, we feel really lucky to have found it and made it a part of our trip.
