When you think of clean water, what do you see ? Prepare to be spellbound by the otherworldly colors and lucidity of the wild and scenic Smith River. Enjoy peace and tranquility while swimming in your own exclusive, private swimming hole. You may see four point bucks crossing the river, otters playing along the rocky banks and black bear gorging berry bushes while birds, ducks and dragonflys abound. This quasi resort provides a quaint, off grid tiny house with everything you need to feel comfortable but it is not The Four Seasons Hotel. The 1.5 quiet, secluded acres is detached from a world of artifical stimulation and crowds and is ideal for a couples getaway or small families. Entertainment is provided by means of a covered porch to observe the true residents: the wildlife.The Smith River is the largest river in CA that flows without a dam upriver. It also flows some of the cleanest, clearest water you will ever see. Mountain views accompany the jade waters of the river. Private and exclusive 1.5 acres in a quiet rural neighborhood near Redwood State Parks, hiking, rafting, and only 15 minutes from the coast with an extremely short (45 sec) trail to the river flanked by old growth manzanita, cedar, madrone, alder and oak. Private and exclusive swimming hole and a cliffside covered deck allows for tranquility and optimal relaxation while creating memories with your friends and loved ones..... Tiny house includes one queen bed upstairs and one futon downstairs. Any additional guests beyond 4 people can sleep in cars, tents or pop top campers. Hot shower on site. Bathroom is currently dry camp style portable toilet with a bag and sawdust, dispose in on-site garbage bin.

The place is well named: what a Gem! River, quiet cabin, hammock, lots of space for the dogs to be dogs- what more could one want?! I’d live there if I could. Clean and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and book yourself an extra night. You won’t regret it.

My goodness - truly a gem! It was hard to leave this morning. Jacob's space had everything we needed and the view of the river from the porch was breathtaking.

The view of the river was beautiful. The redwoods were a short drive away and the wood stove expertly heated the room!

Beauty by the river

Riverside Gem

This small cabin is wonderful, yet maybe not for everyone. I loved the proximity to Jedediah National Forrest, and the site right on the Smith River (literally feet from the edge). It was a cozy little space, with just enough amenities to be comfortable and functional. The main bed is up a ladder in a loft (must be comfortable to climb up and down it), and the shower and toilet are both outside and separate from the cabin. But the views are spectacular, just wished it was warm enough to go swimming (maybe next time). Would highly recommend, especially for those who don't mind a mix of comfort and roughing it together.

I loved my stay here. Jacob answered my phone call when I had difficulty getting into the property and everything went smootly after that. The river was beautiful, and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the close proximity to the many redwood groves nearby, particulary Jedidiah Smith State park. Location was very private, and completly fenced in, and I felt totally comfortable.

Beautiful place, would stay here again. Loved the secludedness of it so we could actually enjoy the nature. Having a private swimming hole was also really fun. Clean and spacious.
