Everything was perfect for our stay. The hot tub and views from the property were very nice and with the cabin being at the end of the road, we had lost of privacy. A nice short walk to the Renfrew Pub as well.
The cabin was spotless, the kitchen was well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the outdoor fire Pitt and used it in the morning with our coffees and books, also in the evenings. The bbq was great, as was the hot tub. We had a great stay…I highly recommend The Great Escape.

We had a lovely time. The cabin had everything we needed, good views and great location.
We really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here.

Perfect getaway
This cottage is perfect for a couple and dogs. We enjoyed exploring the area and then warming up with the hot tub and firepit later as the weather was everything between sun and hail! It has everything you need to spend a quiet cozy vacation.
We came to unwind and relax - get some hikes in and eat good food. We got it all here with the quiet surroundings and the ease of cooking in the kitchen and the bbq. We will be back.
The place was on the small side but had all the necessities that you needed!! The view, hot tub, firepit where lovely!We would definitely recommend!

This is a great cabin with wonderful amenities which include a hot tub which is private. They also allow dogs which is an added bonus. The cabin is located centrally and is walkable to coastal cafe kitchen. We loved being here and would definitely book this cabin again in the future.
A delightful little cabin for two. We felt like we were alone in the middle of the forest. I loved drinking my morning coffee on the covered deck as the sun came up (or didn't, on our one rainy day here). At night we had an amazing view of the stars from the uncovered part of the deck. The cabin was clean and warm, with plentiful hot water and coffee filters. Instructions to access the cabin and use everything included (TV, heaters, hot tub) were clear and didn't fail us. We made several day trips to local beaches and to the restaurants in town. Loved that the EV charger at the library is free to use! Port Renfrew is a friendly place and we enjoyed our short stay here.
Fantastic cottage with everything you need to a peaceful getaway. Gorgeous views, fantastic deck & hot tub and very private. Best unit in the complex. Great home base for day trips and hikes. Highly recommend.
This cabin is just perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. It’s so great to just be able to watch the eagles in the trees and hear the ocean from the deck. Our Westies love it too!BBQ is wonderful and the fire pit on the deck makes this so very cozy, everything you need to unwind is here. This is our fourth time here and hope to be back soon. Ian and Jodi have wonderful hosts and answered all our questions easily. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful piece of paradise with us !
We were looking forward to a peaceful getaway in the off-season and this place totally delivered. We enjoyed coffee on the deck over a fire on crisp mornings, sunsets at Botanical Beach and evenings soaking in the hot tub. All in all 10/10.

What a perfect cabin
This was my second stay at The Great Escape, and it was lovely. Everything was so clean and ready for me to enjoy a few days in Port Renfrew. A new BBQ was on the porch, every kitchen appliance or tool I needed was there, and the bed was ideal. The hot tub couldn't be sited better, with a view to the harbour through the trees and away from clear lines of sight of the other cabins for the most part.
Thank you Ian and Jodi!
Very private considering all the cabins in the area.
The cabin/ property was very clean and welcoming. We were able to relax and not worry about other people in our space. The views were beautiful, mountains and ocean. The hot tub was very clean and private. The property is set up on top of the hill looking over all the other cabins. Highly recommend staying at the Great Escape cabin in renfrew :)
The area is beautiful to explore even in the winter. We had good rain gear ! The hot tub was a saviour at the end of the day. The house itself was a bit disappointing. Once the sofa bed (very squeaky) was pulled out there was no room at all ( a day bed design would fit much better) The sofa cushions springs were broken so daytime sitting very uncomfortable. The cooking supplies were sub standard. (Kettle handle hot to hold, frying pans need updating, drinkware could be more standard sized and shaped)
An adequate 400 sq ft cabin with hot tub, outdoor gas fireplace, and BBQ.
When cooking our meal the smoke detector went off three times . We had the fan on and there was no detectable smoke. Then at 2am the power was interrupted and the detector started beeping all night.We could not reach it and endured the sound all night.Very irritating!
At this price we expected superior furnishings :the cabin could benefit from some updating . Specifically, the couch /sofa bed was uncomfortable; the shower curtain liner needs replacing; the silverware and glassware are low quality.
We will be looking elsewhere for $300+ a night accommodation when returning to Port Renfrew .
The cottage is cozy and perfect for 2 people. The large deck and propane fire pit was lovely in mornings for coffee and evenings to watch the sunset. The hot tub was perfect for warming up after hikes. The location is great for getting to the beautiful hikes and beaches around Port Renfrew.
The only downside was the poor ventilation in the cottage makes it impossible to cook without setting of the smoke detector. Basic use of the stove set it off with every meal. (No we did not burn or char anything!)
The back up battery in the alarm also died on our second last day resulting in a continued beep alarm every 5 seconds. The host were quick to respond when asked where to locate replacement batteries, but unfortunately could not actually provide them. They recommended removing the battery, which resulted in the alarm then activating in the middle of the night causing a fair bit of distress and discomfort to both us and our dog.
We arrived with anticipation of a comfortable, well appointed, private cabin and we were not disappointed! All that was described was accurate - that's for certain! The hot tub was one of the newest we have ever had the privilege of using and was very grateful for that. Heated up nicely for an enjoyable warm soak to enjoy the sounds and scenery. A very private spot at the end of the cul-de-sac with a lovely overseeing view of the resort property, and a lovely property it is.We did find the roads into Port Renfrew rougher than expected. We did head out to go to the Avatar Grove, only to find the roads too rough for our vehicle (Mazda 3), so much so that we hit a rain filled pot hole that caused a flat tire. We did get back to the cabin and were able to seek assistance to have the tire fixed at the local convenience store. Never made any of the must see's only because of an atmospheric river that rolled through and wow did it rain. We hunkered down in this comfy cabin and watched movies on the excellent cable package offered. Books everywhere and even a DVD player for your own movies.All and all - a wonderful little spot .. although not able to see everything offered, it was a very relaxing weekend for both of us. Thank You Ian and Jodi for this wonderful spot.
