Great place and location.
We would stay again. The accommodation was fantastic and was in a great location for all the activities we wanted to do. A beautiful view in the evenings to come home to.

Nice place
The cottage was well appointed and had everything we needed. The only thing that I have to complain about is the cleanliness of the place. I had to pay a cleaning fee, yet the cottage was not very clean in some areas. I spilled some water on the floor and when I mopped it up the cloth came away filthy. Same with the table top, it had sticky rings from a glass on it and was quite dirty.

Incredible View!
I’m not sure you could find a cleaner nor more comfortable vrbo in Port Renfrew. In addition, the views are spectacular!!! If I am ever fortunate enough to visit Port Renfrew again, River Raven will be, without exception, my first choice in places to stay.
