The Space

Wild by day.
Warm by night.

There is a unique satisfaction in the tension of opposites: the unbroken surge of the Pacific and the steady breath of a woodstove. True restoration is found in the return from the wild — the reward of a strenuous trail met by the embrace of a plush blanket. At the edge of the world, where the forest holds the sea, find adventure in the elements. Then, find your shelter.

Getting here

Find your
wild coast

Port Renfrew sits at the end of Highway 14 on the southwest edge of Vancouver Island — one of Canada's most dramatic coastlines. Two hours from Victoria. Two hours from Nanaimo. Far from ordinary.

Rachael's Retreat is located at 6574 Baird Road within the Wild Coast Cabin community — a small, thoughtfully developed cluster of cedar cabins nestled at the edge of the forest. This is a cabin community, not a remote wilderness property: you'll have neighbouring cabins nearby and enjoy the friendly, relaxed atmosphere of a place where fellow travellers share a love of the coast. It's the best of both worlds — the feeling of the wild, with good people around if you need them.

Every cabin here is privately owned — ours included. We're a family who built this retreat for ourselves, and we love sharing it with guests who appreciate the coast as much as we do. You're not booking a hotel chain or a managed rental operation. You're staying in our home, and we look after it the way only an owner can.
