River Retreat

2 Bedrooms + Sleeping Loft - 2 Baths - (Sleeps 9-13) The space A gorgeous 16 mile drive along the South Fork of the Smith River gets you to this beautiful two story river side house located in an area named 'Big Flat' as it is a big flat area high in the mountains where the inland tribes gathered to meet the coastal tribes. Rich in natural history and scenic beauty, this is the type of place one wants to check in, and 'check out'. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the river rushing by as well as a multitude of songbirds and miles of majestic wilderness, there is opportunity for swimming, rafting, tubing, hiking, cycling, fishing, kayaking or just lying on the river view deck soaking up the sun in summer or snuggling by the fire in colder months. The house affords the ability to rough it in great comfort as it has full amenities while being off the grid, we have equipped it with solar power and propane appliances. Due to the solar power system capacity--- MICROWAVES,TOASTERS,, HAIRDRYERS and other resistance appliances will drain the system and cannot be used. In addition to the river being on the property there are several small lakes with good fishing that can be driven to. Also there are several lakes that are good backpack trips in the higher mountains. We also have a trail head to the Kelsey trail near the house. The Kelsey trail is part of the Pacific Crest trail.
