Who says you need to rough it to explore the outdoors?

The Trapper’s Cabin is a 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin located in the heart of Gasquet, CA, conveniently situated off the 199 highway. Gasquet is 20 miles from the ocean, 10 miles from the Redwood National Forest, and sits directly on the Smith River. Come for the many adventures that the tallest trees, cleanest river, and secluded beaches have to offer, but stay for a sense of pure serenity.

The cabin is just a short walk to the river. There is a fish cleaning station and grill in the backyard for anyone who is lucky enough to catch a prize winning steelhead or salmon. The immediate neighborhood is perfect for bike rides, hiking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, mushroom hunting, berry picking, bigfoot hunting, bird watching, quartz or gold mining, and stargazing. There is also an amazing massage therapist within walking distance, in case your adventures have left you feeling a bit sore.

At the Trapper’s Cabin, you will have a spectacular view of the Adam’s Station, a local landmark. The view will take you back to the 1800’s, when Mary Adams Peacock entertained the many travelers who stopped at her B&B for a warm meal and comfortable bed. Yet, the cabin itself, has all the comforts and amenities of home. It has been designed for the explorer who still likes to come home to a memory foam mattress and smart TV.

There is a queen sized mattress in each of the two bedrooms, as well as two cot-sized day beds in the living room, in case you need to sleep six. There is also a full kitchen and small laundry room. The backyard is secure and well suited for pets or small children. Although the cabin is relatively private, after a walk around the neighborhood, you will find that Gasquet has some of the most friendly neighbors around.

NOTES:
There is only one market in Gasquet with limited groceries. You will want to come prepared if you plan on cooking. The nearest grocery store is in Crescent City (20 miles west) or Cave Junction (35 miles east). There is also only one restaurant in Gasquet (Patrick Creek Lodge) and one restaurant in Hiouchi, the next town west, (Hiouchi Cafe).

If you would like to book a massage, fishing trip, kayak rental, etc. you should do so well in advance. The following is a list of resources:

A Birthday Adventure
We stayed at this quaint cabin/cottage on a beautiful quiet street. Trees galore and it makes for a beautiful walk or a lovely run. The backyard has a large deck with a barbecue grill and down below is a fire pit. It was a perfect place to explore the redwoods.

Cabin in the Redwoods
Gorgeous cabin in a beautiful area. This place was secluded and quiet but also only 10-15min drive to many trails in the Redwoods. Backyard was spacious and gorgeous we are all our meals out there.

Wonderful hidden pine getaway!
Highly recommend this lovely 2 bedroom, fully equipped home. This location is FULLY FENCED which is really hard to find traveling with pups. Totally recommend this unique, tucked away gem in the pines of Northern California.

Perfect home base for Redwood vacation
The cabin was a beautiful clean space with everything needed for an amazing week in beautiful Northern California with all the comforts of home. The internet didn't work well, but since disconnecting was part of the goal for the vacation, that wasn't really an issue for us. We would definitely rent this cabin again!

Peaceful and scenic getaway
We came for a getaway among the trees and to explore the beautiful Smith River area. The Cabin was very comfortable and met most all our needs. Very close to beautiful outdoor recreation and spots (trails, river swimming, Jedediah Redwoods) and great back deck to sit outside and enjoy. Host Bridget was very responsive and friendly. We plan to return.

Cute little place surrounded by beauty!
Our family needed a place to stay before hitting the trails of the Redwood Forest and this place was perfect! It was very dog friendly for our furry family with a wonderful fenced in backyard. I love that there were plenty of blankets around the house for anyone who got cold, and there were plenty of towels for showers in the morning, very thoughtful! We also really enjoyed the wall map and the little notes that other attendees had left about places on the map, it was a very fun touch! Also, the cabin is very easy to access from 199, we had no trouble finding it (even after a VERY LONG day's drive). I highly recommend checking this place out if you want to stay close to the Redwood National Parks.

Excellent, had everything we needed plus some not expected. Couldn't have asked for a better host. The area around Gasquet has alot of history an sites to explore. Very quite an friendly neighborhood. Definitely a must if you want to get away from the hustle of city life.

Sweet cabin in the woods
This was my second trip to the adorable cabin in Gasquet. It’s cozy and well-appointed. The huge private yard with deck and fire pit is everything. (Make sure it’s a “burn day” before using.) great jumping off point for hiking, visiting state and national parks, the beach, and all that Del Norte has to offer. Bridget is an amazing host.

Redwoods Retreat with Doggos
This was my favorite stay on our road trip! Bridget really thought of everything to make both guests and dogs comfortable and at home. My favorite details were the white cheddar popcorn snack offerings, the dog treats, the adorable shabby chic styling details and homemade cookies waiting for us upon arrival. The deck and yard were wonderful to relax while knowing your dogs are safely enclosed. The house is convenient to multiple points of interest, and coming back to rest and re charge here after a day of exploring was a treat. Thank you sharing your home. We loved our stay.

Just lovely!
This was a great place to get away for a while. The cottage is the perfect size for a small group (4 adults), and it has some great features — hanging porch chairs, spacious backyard, map wall, books & games.... It felt really welcoming! Great place to stay with a dog, too. Even the front porch had a dog gate. The kitchen had all the dishes we needed to cook for ourselves, and there were more basic staples in the cupboards than we expected. We stayed a week, and it felt too short! I hope I have a chance to visit again someday.

From Rollover to Comfort
My family traveled from Tri-Cities WA for one more vacation getaway before school started. Our trip was almost haulted completely when our vehicle was totaled in Cave Junction. This trapper cabin became our saving grace. With the kindess of locals we were able to get to Gasquet and check in. Our host went above and beyond. The cookies, the doggie amenities and human amenities. Haha. The cabin was cozy, full of character and charm. We loved being able to sit outside at night with the lighting. The washer and dryer became a perk we didn't know we needed. After dealing with insurance and all that fluff. Being able to settle in after enjoying the day at the beach or river was much anticipated. We'll be back. Thank you for everything. Love and Light, The Bell Family

Cute house in the pines
This little house was packed with all the necessary touches that make it a home away from home. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, plates, pans etc and had a few extra items (like salt). The water pressure was decent, there were plenty of pillows and the fenced in yard was huge- exactly what we needed for the pups. The host was available for any questions and quick to respond. Enough parking for 2 vehicles. Having a washer and dryer was helpful after our river towels got musty. The market was fully stocked but remeber to check the expiration dates. Short distance to river access. And of course the cookies were a nice touch. Oh and AC!

Cozy and compact
We used the cabin as a launching pad to explore the Redwoods, and its proximity to Stout Grove was wonderful. We filled all 6 available sleeping places as a family. Space was tight but there were many comforts that made the space enjoyable: homemade cookies upon arrival, lots of blankets and extra pillows, and wonderful smelling hand soap in the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and Bridget had bottled water in a jug in the fridge, too. A few more mats at the front and back door entrances would have been helpful for keeping the space clean, and the bathroom has seen better days. It was also clear that people with pets love to stay here - every now and then we ran into pet hair in unexpected places. But overall it was clean and comfortable and as described online. Especially appreciated access to the washer and dryer, as we came back dirty from our hiking adventures. The back deck has the most wonderful eating area with cafe lights! The kids loved it.

This place has everything we wanted and needed. Secure fenced yard for furry friends. Dog blankets, bed and towels. Kitchen has everything you need. Thanks for the snacks! Comfy beds and living space. Nice outdoor dining on the deck under the redwoods. So close and convenient to the park and Howlin Hill Road. Wish we stayed longer and we will be back.
