Smith River, California · About 15 minutes from Brookings · Open May 1–September 30
Our bed and breakfast near Brookings, Oregon
If you are looking for a bed and breakfast near Brookings, we would love you to consider our place in Smith River, California. We are about a 15-minute drive from Brookings, at the Smith River estuary where the river meets the Pacific.
We are not in Brookings itself. Our address is 181 Salmon Harbor Rd, Smith River, CA 95567. For guests who want time around Brookings and the southern Oregon coast while staying on the California side, this is another way to plan the trip.
Spend time around Brookings
Brookings can be part of your day, whether you are planning dinner or looking into a fishing charter from Brookings Harbor. Our Redwoods & Coast guide includes our dinner recommendations and information about harbor charters.
For dinner, Black Trumpet Bistro is our Brookings suggestion. For a fishing trip, check directly with the charter operator for the departure point, availability and current arrangements. A drive into Brookings is about 15 minutes. A drive to a particular boat departure is not necessarily the same journey.
Make room for the northern redwoods, too
If your trip includes both Brookings and the redwoods, you do not have to plan them as unrelated holidays. Our local guide introduces Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Stout Memorial Grove, Grove of Titans and Boy Scout Tree Trail. Jedediah Smith is about a 30-minute drive from us.
The park system covers a large area. We suggest choosing the grove or trail you want to visit and checking its route separately, especially if you are heading beyond the northern redwoods. Crescent City is about a 25-minute drive the other way.
Stay where the Smith River meets the ocean
Here at our place, the setting is ocean and river mouth. We invite you to look through our rooms and choose the view and space that suit you. Each option has its own description, so you can decide what matters most before you book.
If you prefer to be in Brookings itself, keep that distinction in mind. We offer a Smith River stay near Brookings, not an address in town.

Questions about a place to stay near Brookings
Best place to stay near Brookings, Oregon?
If you want a bed and breakfast near Brookings, we are in Smith River, California, about a 15-minute drive away at 181 Salmon Harbor Rd, Smith River, CA 95567. We are not a hotel in Brookings.
Looking for a motel or inn on the Oregon coast?
We are a B&B on the California side of the state line, close to Brookings and the southern Oregon coast. Guests choose it as a quieter alternative to motels and inns in Brookings. The harbor is nearby, and a specific fishing departure may be a different stop from a drive into town.
How do Crescent City and the redwoods fit a Brookings trip?
Crescent City is about a 25-minute drive. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is about a 30-minute drive. Redwood National and State Parks cover a large region, so a day in the southern groves is not the same trip as a northern redwoods morning.
Can I see the ocean from this Smith River stay?
The property looks over the Smith River estuary and the Pacific. Check the room you want. Not every room has the same outlook, and the Garden View Room faces the garden and forest.
