A spacious and comfortable property with a deck overlooking the bay - very relaxing and peaceful. The area is quite remote, but there are useful facilities like a gas station and small convenience shop- it’s probably best to stock up before you arrive. Great places to eat nearby like the Renfrew Pub . We had a fantastic stay - thank you .

Stunning views from balcony, kitchen, dining table and living room. Beautiful getaway along the rugged coast. Stayed in October. Advice to other non-summer guests, gas up before you come and bring groceries with you. Provisioning is sparse. But the Renfrew Pub served us well. Loved the fireplace!!

Beautiful!

This location was beautiful and had everything we needed! The only issue was, that it was obvious that the floors had not been cleaned, but that is more on the cleaning crew than the Vrbo owners. Thank you sharing your beautiful location!

River Raven Retreat is a gem. Although it is not a large cottage, it feels spacious because the ceilings are so high, and because it is flooded with light. It is spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated and cozy, with a remarkably well-equipped kitchen. The beds are very comfortable, and each bedroom has a very large closet. The bathroom is very well set up. Best of all is the view, which is extraordinary; so breathtaking and special, in fact, that my sister and I had difficulty tearing ourselves away from the balcony to go out and enjoy Port Renfrew. Our dealings with the owners were very good. If you choose to stay here, you will be very glad you did. Most highly recommended!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a couple of working professionals passionate about travel, good food and spending time in the great outdoors. We have designed our cottage to be a relaxing space and an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

What makes this property unique

The clear uninterrupted view from the deck is what we wanted to share with everyone who stays. Each day the view changes. We have seen whales, dolphins, rare birds and all sorts of local wildlife from the comfort and safety of the deck.
