Amazing view!
We loved the place and the view was beautiful. We did not have good weather however, so never got to enjoy the deck outside. We do have some issues with a few things at the cabin. The kitchen faucet was totally not secured down to the kitchen counter and would move all over the place. This was very disappointing considering the price we paid to stay here. There is also an issue with the gas burners on the stove. The flames on the front two burners flare up with yellow flames and get black smoke all over the pans and tea kettle. Also we could not lower the blinds in the living room when needed because they were stuck in the open position. Owners seem nice enough when called about the faucet but said it is hard to get workers out that far. It's a shame, but these issues would keep us from renting this place again.

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.

The condo was so much more than what we expected. Very clean, lots of room. Incredible views from the deck. Close to a lot of hiking trails. Loved the feel of being out in nature. Highly recommend.

Comfortable house, beautiful view, and lovely little town. We had a great couple of days, enjoying nearby hikes at Botany Bay and Sombrío Beach and spotting sea lions off the dock by the pub. Spectacular stay!
