We stayed at Shack in the Woods for one night in August 2018. We were looking for a dog friendly home in Port Renfrew and we found it! This place is great for people too!
It is located within the Wild Coast Cottages complex in Port Renfrew. The setting is superb, overlooking the water with a great view. Although Shack in the Woods does not have a view, it is a short walk to a couple of look out decks with spectacular views.
Shack in the Woods was a good choice for travellers with dogs. It is a little out of the way from the other cottages, but this is a good thing if you are worrying about your dogs bothering the other guests. There is also a small picnic area nearby to walk your dogs. The deck had railings, which meant we could let the dogs out without worrying about them wandering off.
The cottage has everything we needed for a one night stay. The kitchen is small and there are adequate supplies.
TIP: Make sure you get directions for Shack in the Woods (we had problems finding it) and also for the Wild Coast Cottages if you are not familiar with Port Renfrew.It is very easy to miss the turn.
Overall, I would recommend Shack in the Woods to couples or small families.
