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!

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

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!

Perfect escape!
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!!

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.

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!

Amazing Place to Stay
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.

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!

Perfect river home
We loved the space! Cozy and beautiful. Fireplace was great, lots of wood supplied. Fossils, minerals and woodwork were all amazing. The kitchen was well stocked, much appreciated! The view of the river from the upstairs room was such a wonderful way to wake each morning. So peaceful. Hoping to stay again in the summer time.

Peaceful stay
It rained during our stay, but we were able to have a peaceful and cozy rest in the house equipped with everything. The house was well organized as stated on the list, and the owner's touch in every corners made me feel happy. Above all, the house maintained a warm temperature despite the cold outside temperature, indicating that it well-built house. It was raining so I couldn't enjoy the yard, but I think it's good to visit from spring to autumn as the outdoor deck is well equipped by the stream. It's definitely a place I want to visit again.
