This was our message to the owner:Andrew, I am Miles Locke’s wife and wanted to send you a message. Only avid gardeners can truly appreciate your lovely home and gardens. This is our annual cousin trip and the three ladies, including me garden in our respective homes. Two are from FL and my husband and I are from TX. We have so enjoyed your home and the explanation on all the cases of the artifacts. We have used vrbo for many years and several times each year and yours is the best. So much thought went in to all the explanation cards and your kitchen has nothing lacking. Thank you again for such a wonderful home.

We enjoyed our stay, great accommodation, pet friendly, convenient location, close to places we wanted to visit, Redwood National and State Parks, Crescent and Klamath, CA and Brookings, OR. Beautiful view from the decks, great room and master bedroom - overlooking at the Smith River. Communication was great, check in was a breeze and property was very welcoming just like advertised. kitchen had plenty of dishes and quality cookware. Lots of condiments and staples available as well. A quick walk to the river and the kids enjoyed a dip everyday. Amazing experience indeed. Highly recommended!

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.

River House

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.

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.

This was a delightful 4 nights on a pleasant river in a quiet neighborhood in the redwoods. There were 3 of us, plus one service dog. Plenty of room! The decor is quite interesting - part museum, part art gallery. Furniture very comfortable. We were in the river to cool off every evening. We would love to return!

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!

The house is like a 1960s-1970s museum of artifacts throughout the home.lots of art, photographs and history written on postcards. Unfortunately, my first impression was that there is a very strong pet urine smell in the teal colored carpet at the entry that leads to the master. It stayed with us throughout our 4 night stay. Looks to de a lot of deferred maintenance on outside of property and old carpet but 100 percent we enjoyed the stay minus the urine smell .The home is comfortable, has lots of cookware, clean, and we enjoyed the deck and living room. No smart tv, internet worked well. The access to the river was too difficult for us to get to but the sounds of the river were nice in the generous size master with beautiful views. I appreciated the simple check out process, the comfortable bed and sheets, and the pretty flowers thoroughout the property. The neighborhood is nice for walking, but there is no grass or fenced yard for walking your dog. The distance to restaurants and major stores beyond a convienance store was 30-35 min. If they replace the carpet - it’ll be a 10 out of 10. Getting info from property manager before arrival was slow at response but it worked out. The two extra bedrooms were very small but functional.

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.

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!

Tranquil retreat in lovely setting

The host was welcoming and the property was lovely and spacious and allowed our family to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked pairing meals. But the real magic of this property comes from: 1) the lovely master bedroom with skylights to see the stars and a wall of windows to view the river and 2) the numerous decks that overlooked the river. I was so happy sitting on these decks, watching numerous hummingbirds visit their feeders and laying out peanuts for the jays. We had to cut our trip short for a pet emergency back home and we were very sad to leave.. the whole way home I was imagining myself back on those decks…. It really is a special place with great location to visit the redwoods. Gasquet is located outside the coastal fog zone, so even when it is cloudy in the redwoods, it was sunny at the cabin.
