Super Wild ~ Super Natural ~ Super Renfrew

FRESH AND CLEAN | Exceptional Hygiene.

Escape the Ordinary. Our luxury get-a-way is nestled in a coastal cottage community; situated on a high forested bluff overlooking San Juan Bay. Uniquely designed for couples or solo adventurers looking for a special getaway West Coast-style. We offer the most amazing views of the West Coast Trail - a hike of a lifetime. Bjørn Holm showcases original artwork and traditional carvings, custom woodwork, and hand-crafted furniture. Every aspect charms. Passionate about wood; the beauty is in the detail. The home is cozy, bright, and new. Wildlife flourishes in abundance. Watch bald eagles and osprey; it is a birders’ delight. Spot the black bears along the river bank. Discover the elusive Roosevelt Elk. Breathe in the Wild.

Guests have the use of the entire cottage through a PIN-activated lock. The passcode will be provided a few days prior to arrival. Remember to note it down so there are no unpleasant surprises on arrival as there is no cell phone service. We do recommend you bring a spare flashlight in the car during the winter months for easy entry. There are two parking spots immediately in front. We are pet-friendly knowing they are an important factor in our lives. We have waived our pet-fee through these COVID times.

We offer WiFi, Sirius/Amazon Radio, and Netflix/Amazon Movies on a Smart TV with Bose Sound Surround System, a well-stocked gourmet kitchen (sharp knives) with all full-size appliances/filtered water and balcony barbeque. Sit in the living room in front of the cozy gas fireplace; browsing our diverse library. Or enjoy watching the birdlife soar above San Juan Bay. Away from urban light pollution, nights are dark and there are plenty of stargazing opportunities.

The custom bathroom with a curbless shower and heated floor/towel rack offer all the traditional amenities and lots of fluffy bath towels. *** In order to contain the virus, we do not put offer as many fluffy choices. *** The bedroom has lots of cupboard/drawer space (oodles of hooks too) and a queen bed with deluxe coloured-linens and reading lights. We have various pillows to chose from and offer both summer and winter silk (NOT FEATHER) duvets. You have three levels of comfort to sleep on: mattress, foam topper and feather topper. I admit it is difficult to accommodate all tastes. We try. Lots of extra USB ports are conveniently located throughout the house.

Bjørn Holm is maintained with heart and soul; our space is professionally cleaned. Uncompromising cleaning and hygiene - additional cleaning, sanitizing, and hygiene practices in all areas with particular emphasis on high touch points and hard surfaces. Washer/Dryer is available for extended stays (7 or more nights). Advance notice is necessary to arrange access.

Stay tuned for our 2nd bedroom in late 2023/24. Located downstairs with separate entry, this space will have its own private deck, bathroom, and some kitchen amenities.

The best place to wait out the storm
We spent four wonderful days here. The weather was awful but we didn't mind, because the place had such an amazing view and so many books to look at. We appreciated the comfortable bed, well-designed (and thoughtfully-stocked) kitchen, rain ponchos & bear bells (for when it graduated from pouring to just regular-raining). We were sad to leave but are looking forward to going back!

Phenomenal!
Property owners are absolutely fabulous! Every detail thoughtfully covered with extra special surprises. Beautiful design with spectacular custom woodwork and furnishings. So peaceful, comfortable and clean. Felt like home. Loved it so much we requested to add another night to our already three night stay. Would have stayed longer if we could have made it work with our travel plans. The view is breathtaking especially the sunsets as you sit on the balcony relaxing. Private enough to do yoga on the balcony in the mornings. Very relaxing and peaceful surroundings, felt at ease and safe. Port Renfrew is a feel good community. Unbelievable history, nature and hiking to enjoy and respect. Nice eateries with great food and service. Thank you Shelley and Jan for sharing your pride and joy with others. We can feel all the love that went into making Bjorn Holm. We so hope to make it back!

Beautiful property! Every last detail was considered. Beautiful views, cozy gas fireplace, kitchen with everything you could ever need, snacks available to guests, comfortable bed, towel warmers and warm floor in the bathroom. The weather was perfect for hiking and exploring the area. Wish we’d had an extra day to take our kayak out! Regardless, we had a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

A Great Adventure!
My husband and I traveled to this terrific cottage with our dog for an extended weekend getaway! The cottage was extremely well laid out and very cozy and comfortable. The owners have provided everything that you could possibly need for a getaway to nature. The views were exceptional and we truly enjoyed the choices for hiking. We opted not to use the amazing chef's kitchen and chose to dine at the local restaurants. The hosts provide a notebook of extremely helpful information with suggestions which were spot on. We really enjoyed the amenities and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. We highly recommend this beautiful holm!

If you need a break from the hustle; look no further. We traveled in off season, and while a lot was shut down around town; you don’t need it as this place has everything you could ever imagine available to you. Bing your core groceries and you are all set! Amazing place.

Stunning waterfront stay
What a dream this place was. The design and attention to detail of this apartment was only surpassed by the ocean and mountain view from it. Immaculate, beautifully equipped, with all appliances one might possibly need, as well as thoughtful gifts left for their guests, Shelly and Jan sure know how to receive people and make their stay really special. We were completely enchanted by this getaway and would absolutely love to return sometime soon!

a beautiful home with a beautiful view
The home is beautifully outfitted with custom wood furniture and artistic touches throughout. We were greeted with welcome treats and there is nothing you need that is not there. Two cautions-- the general store in town had practically no fresh food of any sort- so come prepared. (we did buy fresh salmon at the truck near the pub) and there is no cell service.
