We provide you with a pair of binoculars so you won't miss a thing!
You are welcome to bring your horse, mountain bike (18 miles of trails), or just relax at the river. We provide tubes and a cabana with chairs, during the swimming season. Winter and Fall are also beautiful times to visit. Build a cozy fire in the wood stove, play games and music, or hike and bike in the cool weather. The cabin has everything for your enjoyment and comfort. A special place to just be together; eat, drink and be happy.

Stan and I arrived and were met by Butch and joined shortly thereafter by Brenda. We knew the cabin was miles away from their beautiful log home but they wasted no time. They hopped into the side-by-side and we followed them down to the river. The drive was amazing! When we arrived at the cabin, we were in awe of the view. To say this cabin and its location are stunning is an understatement. Here, you are truly off-grid. No anything but enjoying all the beautiful quiet of nature and the rustling sound of the river. The cabin is cute with all the basics and there is a propane grill, and the gas stove looks absolutely ancient, but works great! We enjoyed the eggs Brenda gifted us upon our arrival and cooked up some super hearty breakfasts. The swimming holes are like visiting a spa but without people. The water was like bathwater. That said, absolutely make some time to walk upriver. Get past the slower parts where the algae makes the river rocks slick and you will be surprised by the crystal clear, gravely riverbed. It's about knee/waist deep so take a seat and enjoy. If you travel further upriver, there is a boulder "graveyard." Listen carefully and you'll hear and eventually see the waterfall that originates from somewhere in the hill. Continue further and you'll likely see bear and mountain lion footprints. Prints from the blacktail deer are easily visible all along the bank. This place is amazing, so ENJOY! --Stan & Tamara Also, we saw a BEAR!

Pictures and reviews do this cabin no justice on the level of joy and beauty this place brings. I cannot thank Brenda & Butch enough for sharing this wonderful place with everyone. From the moment we arrived and greeted with smiles, to the never ending smiles/relaxation from the views, swimming hole laughs and sounds of nature the cabin brings exceeded all expectations. It was a wonderful place to disconnect (no cell service ❤️) and just enjoy where you are. We cannot wait to come back again and again!

We LOVED staying at Brenda & Butch's fishing cabin perched about the MF Eel River! They were fantastic hosts and the views were incredible! I wanted to get away from the stress and hectic-ness of everyday life and this place delivered...big time. No cell service, no wifi, no people, it was perfect! I could have spent so much longer soaking in the views, enjoying the wildlife and decompressing. Communication with B&B was perfect, they were welcoming and super helpful. They have created a slice of heaven on a gorgeous part of this earth and I am so grateful they are willing to share it with others. Cannot recommend this place enough, we are already planning our next trip!

I can’t say enough about the wonderful time we had at the fishing cabin. Brenda is a gracious host (fresh eggs from the ranch as a welcome gift!) and made everything about our stay easy. Pictures don’t do the view justice, and we had an amazing time swimming in the cool, clear water. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back!

This is a wilderness experience without the discomfort. It's beautiful, private, serene, and the hosts are wonderful. This was our second visit, and we had a lovely time. The view from the cabin is magnificent and the cabin is charming and comfortable. Our AWD vehicle was up to the trip on their well maintained roads. The short walk down to the river is best for sure footed hikers. We will return!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, the river and surrounding nature are hard to beat. Add to that the fishing cabin’s amenities, and we had a very memorable weekend. We spent a lot of time in the chairs by the river as well as swimming. Plenty of birds, deer, lizards, and other wildlife to observe. Really appreciated the hospitality and the check in / out process was easy and friendly!
