Had an amazing time at the cottage. A perfect getaway to escape from the noise of the city. Situated at the end of a road, at the top of a hill it was very private and topped only by the amazing views from the spa hot tub.

I had a very enjoyable stay at this cabin. It's located on a small hill with a gorgeous view from the deck. It was quiet, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. My only complaint is that the hot tub was a bit grimy and in need of a cleaning.

This place is in a great location in many ways. Not only is Port Renfrew absolutely breath taking but the cabin itself resides at the end of the little subdivision that it is in. So it’s secluded and has a pleasing view from the deck and spa Perfect for outdoor loving people.

Everything was perfect for our stay. The hot tub and views from the property were very nice and with the cabin being at the end of the road, we had lost of privacy. A nice short walk to the Renfrew Pub as well.

The cabin was spotless, the kitchen was well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the outdoor fire Pitt and used it in the morning with our coffees and books, also in the evenings. The bbq was great, as was the hot tub. We had a great stay…I highly recommend The Great Escape.

The cabin was clean, pretty secluded (last cabin on the road, forest on one side), and has a nice view of the ocean from the deck and hot tub overtop of the other cabins in the neighborhood. But the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable for adults (my 10yr old thought it was fine), and when it was open it blocked the entire living room floor so you had to crawl over it to get in/out of the front door. Technically one could sleep 4 people in the cabin, but it wouldn't be a comfortable fit! Having Netflix included on the TV in the living room was nice, but it disconnected partway through our stay.Note that Port Renfrew is the last city at the end of the highway, and only has one small local grocery store. Selection is limited and prices much higher than we were used to. Wish we had brought more in our cooler.

Perfect getaway

This cottage is perfect for a couple and dogs. We enjoyed exploring the area and then warming up with the hot tub and firepit later as the weather was everything between sun and hail! It has everything you need to spend a quiet cozy vacation.
