Relaxing and on the River
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.

Wonderful house!
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

Stunning property, back to nature
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!

Lovely home in a great location
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.

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!

Great Time
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.

ideal destination and launching point
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!

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 it’s so cozy for a winter stay. We love it.

Was THE ticket for our family gathering
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!
We’re already planning for next year…except we NEED more days!

Peaceful and beautiful
We are four women friends who have traveled together for over 30 years. We had not been able to be together since before covid. This was the perfect spot to just rest, talk, and play games. It is close to the Redwoods and the ocean. Since we were on the river we had the best of all worlds. I highly recommend this home. It had a combination of quirky and amazingly gorgeous. We plan to be back. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality

Fantastic!
Magical location on the Smith River. Twenty mins from Jedediah Redwoods, an hour from Del Norte and it's directly in the Smith River recreation area. The house is perched on an overlook to the river with 3 beautiful decks. The owner's sweet has a fantastic view and you can listen to the river as you sleep. Everything you need for a comfortable relaxing vacation. Highly recommend!
