Perfect peaceful getaway!

The cabin was incredibly private and peaceful! This was just what I needed to spend a few days recouping and relaxing. Slept like a rock in the super comfy bed, in fact when I got home it made me realize how many lights were on in my home disrupting my sleep and how I needed softer pillows, I now sleep better at home! Close to a dog friendly beach and all the attractions in the area!! Highly recommend! Karen was an absolute sweetheart, quick at responding and would message me on road updates as I stay between major storms.

Shack in the Woods

The cabin located in a vacation home strata, so there are several other cabins in this neighbourhood. Yet, it is private and surrounded by trees. The front deck is a wonderful space rain or shine. The cabin was very cozy and warm. Thank you for sharing your lovely place

The Shack in the Woods

A wonderful time at our rental property in Port Renfrew, ample parking, nicely furnished, had all the supplies we needed for our weekend.Karen's direction are on point. LOVED the firepit!!! Close to all attractions. Just enough room for 3 adults, 4 may be to many I feel. I would highly recommend The Shack in the Woods.We hope to return.

Port Renfrew

We were unable to check in on time as the owner was there working on his boat in the drive way. I don’t think the place was cleaned that well as there was a pile of sand in front on the slider to the master bedroom, there was garbage left behind at the fire pit, the toilet would not fill/flush, the shower was clogged and was extremely slow to drain as well there’s a big stain on one of the couch cushions. We made the best of our time but I had to pass on this message as I was not super excited about the state of the rental.

A beautiful and relaxing getaway in Port Renfrew!

Staying at A Shack in the Woods was a wonderful experience. The pictures online honestly do not do it justice! The cabin was a bit larger than expected, as was the outdoor space! We made use of the full kitchen as well as the firepit. A great feature was the built in grill on the firepit and all of the dry firewood we could need. We met one of the owners, Reid, and my husband was able to help him out a bit with his boat and we were pleasantly surprised when we were brought a fresh caught Coho in the evening that we cooked over the fire! The cabin is located at the end of the cul-de-sac so you only have one cottage to your right so there is a lot of privacy. We liked that we were right near the walking path so we could bring our dog out easily for walks when he wasn't on the deck. We will definitely be staying at this cottage again! It is so difficult to find clean, comfortable, and secure accommodations when you have a pet, and I am so happy we found A Shack in the Woods. I will be recommending this to our friends and family as well :)

Great deck to relax on

Comfortable and convenient stay to access Botanical Beach and hikes along the coast. Basic kitchen set up, for vacation meals. Slightly annoying there weren't enough coffee filters for the days we stayed, but other supplies were fine. Loved that the porch had a fence/gate, so our fur child could lie in the sun without being tied up. It was a pleasant rental and we'd do it again.
