River's Bend - Your ultimate River Destination

River's Bend is a 3 bedroom, two full bath home surrounded by large beautiful redwood trees. There is a large deck around the house and a lower deck located right by the Smith River.

After a day of swimming, fishing, kayaking, rowing, biking, hiking or exploring, you can return to the house to relax for a BBQ, roast marshmallows or just enjoy the river view only 30 feet from the deck. The large living room and fully equipped kitchen have large windows to enable you to cook indoors or outdoors while taking in the beautiful view including the flowing river. With 1 bedroom and a full bath downstairs, it is easy to get a restful night sleep. The two additional bedrooms and a full bath located upstairs provide an abundance of sleeping space for everyone and a great view of the redwoods that surround the property. Its best features are the surrounding redwood trees, close proximity to the river and its very own waterfall.

By the way, if River's Bend is booked for your desired time we have just opened up two more vacation rentals in Crescent City by the lighthouse. Check us out! Lighthouse Point is VRBO #2897216. This is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath house that sleeps 8 in beds. Cottage by the Sea is VRBO #2923254. This is a very cozy studio with a full bathroom and kitchen. Both houses are a very short walk to the beach.

The fungus is among us
The property is a 10/10! Truly beautiful. The house is another story! There is a very strong and predominant mold/mildew smell and it was dirty. The odor was worst in the down stairs bathroom, master bedroom and laundry room. So bad infact we all showered up stairs and couldn't sleep in the master bedroom. I contacted the owner and he just said sorry. We left this house cleaner than when we arrived and had to buy supplies to help us make it through our stay. Everyones allergies were crazy. It was extremely disappointing! Cobwebs all over, dust mites crawling in the master bedroom windowsill. I took several pictures and videos. The mold/mildew smell is my biggest issue and my family was miserable. It was making us sick. master bedroom. I hehe juat hehe jusasorry

HANDS DOWN the best Air B&B we've stayed in!!!! The home is older and has a quirky layout, which worked well for our family. We used the kayaks and paddle boards and we're in the river until the sun went down, then we hit the hot tub. If you're a water family you'll love it there!!! Pricey but worth it.

Wonderful property and stay. The home is right on river and has everything u can need for a comfortable stay including a jacuzzi overlooking the river. Property was near redwoods and wonderful trails. When not on river, we were hiking with redwoods and vice versa. It was 2 of us and a little parrot. Lovely time had by all. Thank u

River House Birthday Weekend
Even in the winter, it was a magical stay to watch the water in the river rage, over coffee or from the hot tub. This is also, by far, the best well stocked vacation house we have ever visited. Wonderful stay!!!

This property was in an excellent location for our family to explore the redwoods and the near by ocean towns. The setting on the river was beautiful and we enjoyed all the amenities, such as kayaking and games. The house could use a little updating, but still a great place to stay!
