Very well stocked, very clean, with a nice view
If you find yourself in the Telegraph Cove/Port Hardy/Port McNeill area, this place is great. It sleeps 4 comfortably (more would be a stretch) and is really well stocked with all the details that you need. We usually travel with extras like sharp knives, BBQ utensils and a good frying pan - but didn't need to use any of them because this place is so well stocked. The travel and cooking books are really neat, and the DVD collection on-site is extensive. We woke up on our last morning to see a bear prowling on the shoreline below to cap off a very nice stay!
