I highly recommend staying here. The condition of the cabin indicates how the owner takes great pride in sharing their home. Peace, solitude and zen by the river await you.

My wife and I stayed at this property for 27th year anniversary. We just wanted to be with each other in a secluded setting. This did the trick! We had a great time relaxing at this cabin. The ONLY issue we had was there is no Hot Tub as listed. This was one of the main reasons we booked here, it said it had a hot tub. But much to our dismay when we arrived, no hot tub. If we would have known this we would have picked another cabin. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves and we liked the cabin very much. Knowing what we know now, we would still book here again, we just won’t bring our swimsuits. 😉

Lovely setting right on the river with a little beach and shallow still water area for cooling off. The cabin is well stocked with all the kitchen cleaning and laundry supplies we needed. The beds were comfy and warm. Stairs to the loft where the master bedroon is might be challenging for older ir mobility challenged folks but the futon in the living room was just as comfortable as any of the beds! Highly recommended to unplug and relax! No internet wifi or cable but the huge windows facing the river are better than any screen.

Great spot to get away from everything and be on the river. Cabin is thoughtfully stocked, especially the kitchen. Gas BBQ grill on the deck worked great.
We were there during a little heat wave and we spent most of our time in the river, which was perfect because it's so close to the cabin.
The host provided a bunch of fans inside the cabin so there was plenty of airflow at night to sleep. The cabin also is well insulated so closing the windows in the morning kept the cabin cool until early evening.
We fished early morning and there are some good easy spots to cast from shore or cast from the river.
The neighborhood locals are friendly and will come down to chat with you, but otherwise it's super quiet and secluded. Road in and out is a bit adventurous (two-way traffic on one way road) but luckily it's not busy at all. We dropped into Willow Creek and there were some decent restaurants.
Be prepared for no internet, which was actually welcomed as it made it feel more like camping (though there is some limited reception down at the river).
Overall it was an easy 5 star experience

We enjoyed every part of our stay. The house had everything we needed, including games and books. We loved walking down the porch to the river and having direct river access. The owners were available for all communication needs

This is a listing than undersells and overdelivers. The location is beautiful, directly on the Campora Riffle on the Trinity River. As a base location for fishing the lower Trinity and Klamath rivers, it is excellent. The cabin is very clean, well stocked, and one of the most relaxing spots I have ever been. Deborah’s communication was great. Can’t wait for my next trip!

Great for families
What a beautiful place! The cabin is rustic but that was part of its charm, we were able to completely unplug during our stay. It was great for our family with three little kids-we didn’t need to get in a car to go to the river which made our days so much easier- but the river was far enough away we weren’t nervous about the toddler wandering down there alone. The lawn and deck were great for them to play outside and easy for us to supervise. There were a few kids dvds for when they were exhausted or we needed a break. The shallow sandbar made it easy for the kids to splash around and our oldest was able to “fish” off the rocks. Even though it was hot the river breeze and closing the house up in the morning kept the temperature manageable. It’s a great spot!

Serenity!
We stayed here for 4 nights in mid-May, 2022. My husband and I wanted to get away to a place where we could really unwind. This was the perfect place. We lucked out with absolutely beautiful weather too. The cabin is comfortable and has everything you could need. It is more rustic than glamorous, but fits perfectly in its surroundings. All we heard were birds, the flowing river, the breeze through the trees, owls, bullfrogs, and crickets. We saw plenty of deer, and sat on the deck watching hawks (and one eagle!) soaring above the river. My husband hoped to catch a lot of fish, but (according to the locals) the odd dry winter and extremely rainy spring affected the fishing this time of year. He still enjoyed trying to fish and actually caught one small trout, so he didn't get totally skunked! The road from Country Club to the house is really something! It is full of twists and turns and hills, so you just have to take it slow. But after you've driven it a couple of times it's really not a big deal - it is actually fun.
So this is the perfect place to slow down, breathe in some clean mountain air, and unplug from the world. There's no wi-fi, and cell service is "iffy" in the house. But at the road and closer to the river, I had cell service. And there is a landline in the house. Deborah was extremely responsive prior to and throughout our stay, so we never had to wait long for an answer to any questions we had. We will definitely consider coming back (maybe during a summer month or early autumn - better fishing), hopefully in the next year or so.

Beautiful location on the river
The 3 days we (two of us) booked in April were unusually cold and we didn't realize that heating was done by a wood stove, but the stove worked great and there was plenty of firewood and kindling, although some of the wood was marked "green, don't use" but perhaps that sign was from last season. We only stayed two nights and used up all the seasoned firewood. There are also 3 electric heaters along the wall but they don't do a great job but they did take off some of the chill. The road to the cabin was skinny and long but paved and not that bad, although it discouraged us from going to town or from doing trips (we are in our late 70s). This cabin seems better suited for younger folks. The loft bedroom has the queen bed but no bath upstairs, and we were leery about walking down the winding staircase in the night, so we used the bedroom on the main floor which only had twin beds. This was very crowded when we slept together. There is no sheet pan for heating pizza. We could not figure out how to connect the propane to the grill so we used the frying pan instead. The land line only works for local calls but the owner had a long distance line and so we could not contact her easily. The cell phone worked a little for texts. There are lots of birds to see, and listen to, so that was great. No dishwasher. Good oven and refrigerator.

Great river spot!
Really fun trip. Everything was smooth and as described. Best river access and super secluded. Saw tons of wildlife including bald eagles. Road there is kinda scary in spots because it’s sometimes one lane. But it’s not too far from town so that’s good.

R&R by the River
The cabin was intimate & neat every household item you needed was available. If your interested in your own piece of the River this is a million dollar location.

Great time at the river
This was a perfect getaway for our family. The cabin was the perfect size for us. Private, large deck & grassy space to play. The short walk to the river allowed us to play there all day. The kids were asking when we are going back.

Beautiful and peaceful stay!
Deborah’s cabin was absolutely perfect for my son and I. It was very clean and stocked with amenities. The property is just gorgeous! The river is so healing. We hiked all over the area, from the Redwoods, to coast, to Shasta-Trinity National Forest. I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

Overall good experience with a few downsides
Overall we enjoyed our stay since the goal was to completely unplug and relax. The location can't be beat with a view of the river, and a beach right in front of the cabin. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and taking hikes in the area. The cabin was clean and we had no issues communicating with the owner. The downsides were - 1. driving on the long and narrow road with blind curves and steep drop offs to get to the cabin. 2. outdated furnishings, there are two older futons (and no couch) in the living room and the carpet really could use replacing. 3. the only heat source is from a wood stove, plenty of wood was provided and there were fire starters, but it took time to warm the cabin up. Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place.

Relaxing trip to the river!
This property was perfect for my family. My 3 kids are 4 years and under and the beach had a perfect spot away from the stronger current that they played in for days. We fished a lot and caught some beautiful little rainbows. I hope we can come back when the steelhead are running!

Perfect location
This was in a beautiful area in Willow Creek. There is a very short path on the back of the house to a river beach which was perfect for my sons. It had everything we needed. The ceiling fans, and the floor fan provided made the temperature comfortable. It also cools a lot at night. We slept very comfortably. It was great to wake up and look out the window and see the river! My only suggestion is to upgrade the clothes dryer- it is making a lot of noise. We will definitely be back!!

Was too hot
Beautiful place, property and scenery. Place had no A/C. Which makes a little downer. Ridiculously hot when cooking. I would stay again just different time of year

Beautiful location
This cabin is simply stocked and has all the basic needs. Access to the river is great and easy. We stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed the quite time away with no TV or cell phone interruptions. We spent most of our time at the river swimming, fishing and enjoying the wildlife. We saw osprey and bald eagles. If you are looking to unplug and don't need anything fancy this is a great place to stay.

Beyond everything I hoped for!
This place is seriously amazing! It is a short walk down to a private spot on the river. The house is spacious, clean and great for a family or friends. There is a beautiful large deck with a BBQ and multiple chairs. My friends and I had a amazing time at our weekend at the cabin, we never wanted to leave!

1st Time Visitors
My family came to visit me in humboldt county for the first time in the 4 years I’ve lived here. They are very much city people but they all fell in love with the cabin especially when the sun came out to play. From my 82 year old grandma to my 7 year old brother, everyone was enthralled by the river and remoteness of the cabin. We will definitely be stay again one day!

Cozy and comfortable, and close to the Trinity River!
Restful and relaxing place. We enjoyed the birds along the river, and the abundance of tomatoes in your little garden. Also loved poking around in the assorted rocks and pebbles on the shore. A little bit smoky from time to time because of the wildfires, but usually very bright and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful setting!
This place was a dream come true for me, my kids and husband and two of my long time friends. We had such a great time swimming in the river, playing on the beach, building rock towers, BBQing on the deck, and watching eagles fly over the river from the large cabin windows. The cabin was very cozy and accommodating. It was good for kids and felt friendly all around. I’m definitely going to come back!
