Long weekend at the Great Escape
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.
