Setting was excellent with a large usable deck. Cabin was cozy with a rustic feel. Kitchen was well stocked. Hida couch is ready for an upgrade with springs in cushions. Hot tub is a nice setting, but would be more comfortable with chlorine/disinfectant. Overall, a pleasant stay.

We enjoyed the location of the cottage and having the hot tub and kitchen. We found the couch almost unbearable to sit on and the beds lacking comfort as well. There were lots of dusty ceiling corners, but besides that, pretty clean. We also reached out to the host on thr first day asking a question about the wifi and never heard back.

Nice west coast cabin

We had a pleasant stay at the cabin in Port Renfrew. Had everything we needed for 5 adults. The deck and propane fire made for beautiful evenings looking out over the ocean. Hot tub was hot and clean! Well equipped kitchen! Made homemade soup and biscuits the first night and chili the second night. Enjoyed a beer in town after hiking to Botanical Beach. Ian was very communicative with important information to make our stay smooth. Great suggestion to get your groceries prior to arrival and to be aware of no cell phone service until you reach wifi at the cabin. Download the map!
