Porteau Cove Olympic Legacy Cabins

Lovely view of the water from the porch. Nice picnic table and Adirondack chairs on the porch. Small propane fire pit available in front of the porch was great for the cool evening. Easy parking right in front of the cabin. Short walk down to a long dock from a retired ferry service in one direction and through the camp side there is a trail that leads uphill to a lookout peak. Pretty quiet in the early morning. Short drive to Squamish to pick up any necessities. Beautiful view from the loft space. Fan available in loft space. Full length mirror in bedroom. Gated area around the cabin keeps folks from using it as beach access. WI-FI access with decent streaming speed.

Be warned that the loft is accessible only by an extremely steep ladder. Anytime someone moves upstairs it SQUEAKS. A lot. Bedroom mattress decent but loft bed extremely uncomfortable. TV available but no cable or satellite - only DVDs in the room were a limited selection of cartoons. Back burner on stove didn’t work. Pots available but no pan. Window does not open in the bathroom and there is no vent so tends to have a mildew smell. Don’t forget to bring an extra towel for the floor as there is no bath mat and the shower is small and curtain does a poor job of keeping the water inside the stall. Front door uneven in the frame so you have to push/pull hard to unstick it from the frame when opening and closing it. Numbers are worn off of the lock code so it is briefly confusing about how to open the door and the park staff is gone by 5PM. There are adjacent picnic areas that are pretty popular so could get noisy at times but didn’t have any issues with it after about 9PM. No linens (though they do warn you).

Beautiful location.

1. No linens (this is detailed in the rental agreement but should be made much more clear in pre arrival communication). 2. Only 2/3 heaters work. 3. Only 1/2 burners on stove work.

location, comfort

ladder climb to the loft was pretty steep, and awkward at the top

Great location, calm and peaceful.

Unfortunately no pillows or blankets were provided so our sleep was affected. We didn't stay for the second night. It was mentioned in the communication we have to bring our own bedding which we misinterpreted as only bedsheets/linens. Covid is a thing of past so such level of precautions sound irrelevant at this time.
