Great place to visit the redwoods from. We truly loved the house and property. Everything worked great and there was so much room for our family and dogs.
The home is very comfortable & well stocked with everything you need. Outside the home was the real star though with flowers blooming & expansive space with multiple decks and comfy chairs overlooking the Smith river. My family loved our stay at Elve Huset.
The house was great, and beautiful setting. We all agreed that it was much better than the listing showed. Great kitchen and living room; multiple decks outside; running stream behind the house, accessible for a cool dip. Would definitely stay there again.
After hiking all day amongst the redwoods of NorCal we would return to the home to rest and relax to get ready for the next days hike. Sitting out on the back deck right by the river was especially nice. We had a great time.
Perfect centralized location for group of family and friends to explore the Redwoods and the northern CA coastline. Host was accessible and personal and the property was private with wonderful outdoor deck space and beautiful river views. Clean and comfortable with all the amenities. Highly recommended!
This was a most enjoyable place to stay. The home was very inviting, comfortable and clean. It has a large covered patio and a separate covered area with a swing. All overlooking the Smith River. It is very close to the Redwoods and all they have to offer. Not far from Crescent City and the coast. Everything is there for a most enjoyable stay.
I grew up in Gasquet. This is our third year visiting our old stomping grounds. We love the house, the grounds, and the view of the Smith River. We visited friends and just enjoyed being in nature. Loved our visit!
This was our second visit to this house. We loved it as much as the first time. We need to come back in the summer so we can enjoy the river more, but itâs so cozy for a winter stay. We love it.
We stayed in this home with our extended family (ages 17- 82). This is a well loved home in a gorgeous location. There are many places to sit outside and enjoy the river view (or walk down and sit right next to it. Full kitchen, good sized living room. Whoever gets the master bedroom is in for a treat with a big room with an amazing view of the river. The two bedrooms on the first floor are much smaller.The redwoods are just 15 minutes away.
This is a beautiful clean cozy house that worked well for our vacation. Quiet neighborhood a minute from hwy 199 and a quality corner store. We loved the fireplace, the warm central furnace and the cozy furniture. The view of the river is excellent. The kitchen is well stocked. The upstairs bedroom and bath are quiet and also have a great view of the river. There is lots of space for a big family. The backyard decks are awesome and there is river access! The home is decorated throughout with art. Very interesting pieces! It was a challenge to keep the glass decorations safe from our 3 year old boy and the 1 year old who visited us. We made it work, though. Great house, and I would be happy to rent again
My family enjoyed our stay at Elve Huset beyond expectations. The river was right out the back door, and a great place for peace and quiet and for fun in the water. The house was very clean and interesting (so much art, flowers, birds, nd history!) and had everything we could hope for to prepare meals and enjoy them together, as well as get rest after days adventuring in the river and at nearby attractions. Crescent City tidepools, Brookings beaches, Smith River swimming holes, and Jedediah Smith redwoods are all nearby. We loved our stay! A memorable experience!
Andrew was such a pleasure to work with (was kind enough to text me photos of the directions when we left them at home!) and the property couldn't be nicer. You feel like you've stumbled into one family's slice of paradise. The river is ridiculously swimmable (perfectly transparent and serene), and the spot is a perfect driving distance to Jedediah Smith State Park and gorgeous views of the redwoods! Was such a relief to have a cozy spot for our dog to rest in the shade when we couldn't take her into the forest with us. All the amenities of home. Thanks, Andrew!!
Back to nature with all the comforts of home. Stunning property delightful home. I would move here in a heart beat and be happy for the rest of my life. Perfect retreat. I am 75, i wanted to spend some time in the deep forest but have some limiting mobility factors. This property had the right mix of tall trees, water, and shektered places to sit and enjoy nature with only a short walk. Beautiful home, many large windows so even when I was inside i could enjoy the outside . Absolutly heaven on earth!
The house and property were very nice and relaxing. Enjoyed the notes around the house about the history of items within the house. Neighborhood quiet and friendly.
Our family had a more than fabulous time at the Elve Huset. The kitchen was spectacularly equipped, very helpful since my son loves to chef things to the extreme! The beds were all comfortable. The living room sofas made for comfy extra sleeping areas. The multiple decks provided quiet private spots while accommodating group laughter areas!
Weâre already planning for next yearâŠexcept we NEED more days!
We had a wonderful stay at Diane & Larryâs house. Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful. The house was clean and very well furnished and equipped. Some difficulties contacting property manager prior to stay. But once that was cleared up, everything was perfect.
This place is truly amazing. The location is in a beautiful area with a river right behind it. The two patios that are overlooking the river are private and perfect for relaxing. The house is incredibly nice. The furnishings are comfortable. The host has done an awesome job putting things around the house to keep you entertained. Everything about this place is perfect. One of our favorite places we have ever stayed.
My grandfather bought this property many years ago and it has been handed down to me and our family! I can't tell you enough about how this property has came to be one of the most important part of our lives. We want you to share in our passion for this property and we feel you will also be touched like we have been.
Every morning I get up and make my self a cup of coffee and swivel the chair around in the living room to face the river in all of its wonder. I sit there peacefully as the water races down to the ocean, read the paper and gently sip on my coffee.
