About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Shelley or Jan Nielsen
We love to travel: whether a road trip, camping/canoeing trip; trips by air or on the water in our classic wooden boat. And as travelers, we love the ease of staying in others homes/apartments. It offers a warmer, more personal and local experience.
We invite you to experience the Wild West Coast of Vancouver Island (Port Renfrew) and warmly welcome you to Bjørn Holm. We appreciate a thoughtfully equipped property with hosts who understand travelers’ needs. Let us provide this for you.
As first time hosts, Jan and I have put our passion for details and wood into our home and hope you will enjoy Bjørn Holm and Port Renfrew as much as we do. Good weather; lots of wildlife sightings; fabulous scenery.
My husband (born in Denmark) and I (born in British Columbia) have lived and worked together for 40+ years selling custom, quality lumber and wood flooring at West Wind Hardwood Inc; located in Sidney (Vancouver Island), BC, Canada. We have two adult girls. One lives locally and the other lives far, far away in Broome, Western Australia.
Our bucket-list is still full of adventures yet to be lived.

Why they chose this property
Why not? I've been driving up here; first with my parents and later with my husband/family since 1966. It has the feel of Ucluelet/Tofino in the late 70's; long before it was discovered; still wild and woolly.
Our home was finished with heart and soul and a dash of Danish 'hygge'. Every time we open the front door and look out across the water, we feel a sense of 'wow' wash over us. It is this feeling we hope to share with you.

What makes this property unique
Port Renfrew is the gateway to ancient forests, epic hikes, and mighty surf – to eagle and the salmon and Sitka spruce. From here, you can trek, paddle, comb the beaches or cast your line.
Frommer’s describes Vancouver Island as “a mountainous bulwark of deep-green forests, rocky fjords, and wave battered headlands. For an area so easily accessible by car, the range of wildlife here is surprising: Bald eagles float above the shorelines, seals and sea lions slumber on rocky islets, and porpoises and orca whales cavort in narrow passes between islands”.
Port Renfrew is on the verge of transition. Visit now.
