My partner and I stayed here for a full month, and we truly felt that this was home. Note that there have been updates to the space since the pics on here were taken, there's a sofa with chaise that was cozy, a larger TV, and apple TV
The cabin: great space. modern, very clean, big windows let the air flow through. The gas stove & nice BBQ were all we needed, didn't miss an oven at all (and we even baked cookies on the BBQ!)
The bed was incredibly comfortable, as were the pillows.
wear slippers as the concrete floors can be quite cool (which we appreciated)
The outdoor shower was nice to use and felt very private.
Property: in a subdivision & on the same property as host, but still very private and we didn't see or hear anyone even though we spent a lot of time in our hammocks out front.
Location: wow. Jordan River is an incredible spot. beautiful Canadian rainforest, gorgeous tranquil beaches looking out to the Pacific Ocean and across to mountains. You're Nestled right between port Renfrew and Sooke, both of which offer incredible hikes and more beaches. Endless beauty, and so much of it felt like we had it all to ourselves.
Nearby Shirley has a farmer's market on Sundays, as well as Goat Yoga.
The Cold Shoulder Cafe is right nearby and had great coffee and amazing focaccia bread sandwiches.
WIFI: we both worked from here for a month and found the wifi to be an 8/10, we used Netflix, attended zoom calls all with little to no trouble. During storms it struggled pretty badly.
Tip: if you're here for a bit and worried about having no cell service, you can set up wifi calling with your cell provider for free, and this allows you to make and receive phone calls like normal when connected to wifi
Candice and JS were great hosts, generous, welcoming, friendly and respectful
