We stayed before Christmas time and Boxing Day, and made it through a couple of Port Renfrew power outages. The cottage had plenty of flashlights, candles, umbrellas for use, and most importantly, a snow shovel! We spent time at the local pub where we were entertained. (The friendly locals seemed to know exactly when the power would come back on which was very helpful.) Every person we met were welcoming and provided great advice. Denise was extremely helpful during this time and throughout our stay. Our vacation was incredible, the views: spectacular. The cabin is modern and furnishings new; the beds/bedding comfy. Exploring the roads and other towns were an adventure. Finding unexplored areas and taking the pictures encapsulated the beauty of our stay. This place provided the perfect setting to end the year. I highly recommend it!
