Great spot!

10/10 Excellent

The fact they had a guest deck area to view the bears. Made to feel very welcome
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was in a beautiful setting, surrounded by trees and near the ocean. We walked to the beach in less than 10 mins. The suite was cozy, clean and everything we hoped for. We loved our stay!

A quite rental for a solo traveler.
Spencer, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Even during a storm and a power outage, the place remained cosy and warm and the owners checked in with guests to make sure they were safe and had everything they needed.
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous couple of days staying here. Amazing location with incredible views over the estuary and mud flats. Sadly rained most of the time we were there so no bear sightings but plenty of other things to do in the area. Apartment was extremely comfortable and wished we had booked it for longer.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely quiet room with amenities of soap, shampoo, coffee, tea, mini fridge and a few dishes to use. Great guest deck overlooking the lagoon and bikes available to use for getting around.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

Everything was perfect!
Jade, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay at the black bear guesthouse. We had the cedar room, beds are comfortable and bathrooms clean and well appointed. Great price for a visit in the off season. If you book the larger room, the hot tub looks good and is situated so as to give you some privacy from the main house.
Nicholas, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was as described. Nice quiet location just a few minutes out of town. Minimal kitchen amenities so staying in a bit of a challenge, but many good dining options nearby. Good value in a nice location.
Jeff, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice accommodation. Liked how bikes were included and it was a very short easy ride to the beach. House was stalked with everything you need to cook and the hot tub is nice to relax in. The guest house is very close to permanent residents. Found the mornings were quite noisy.
Joanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful guesthouse

Beautiful guesthouse on a lovely families property. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome and given loads of great recommendations for the area. Property was nice, comfortable and warm and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the private deck was stunning! Would definitely book again
Hannah, 3-night trip

Loved our time art the Black Bear Guesthouse. Beautiful property. Loved the bikes. Great hosts. Can't say enough positive things!! Can't wait to return!!!
Sean, 3-night trip

Beautiful stay at Black Bear

The suite we had was beautiful but small in the kitchen/eating area. This was not a problem for us as we were out a lot. The hosts are very welcoming and gave us great tips on where to go.
Keri, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super quiet and close to the beaches! I stayed in the Cedar Room, which is much bigger than the photos make it out to be. Bathroom was completely stocked, and the decor really added to the overall vibe of the place. For those who prefer not to pay for parking in Tofino or the beaches: the owner even has a selection of bikes that you're free to travel around with! 10/10 would stay again :)
Heather, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and very clean

Excellent location. Very clean. Very friendly owner. No complaints either than hotels.ca need to separate the two suites at this location (one being the Blackbear guesthouse and the other the cedar room). One has a kitchen and the other one does not. The place was perfect and we enjoyed our stay.
Mike, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The owners are very polite and responsive. We didn't arrive until 11:30 p.m. and they had no issue with receiving us at that time. We will be booking at this property again next year
Todd, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful room, excellent locally crafted shampoos and soaps. Complimentary bikes and rain jackets. Very friendly and informative host. Close to beautiful Chesterman beach but a bit far from town and most restaurants however there is a free summer shuttle that runs until around 7-8pm. Overall a great time! Would book again.
Alana, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything is very thoughtful. From rain coats, board games, chocolates, bathroom organization, full stocked kitchen supplies, bbq, hot tub, bikes and to many to count. I stay alot of places for work and this was top notch. Thank you
Trever, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It is literally a 5 minute walk to Chestermans beach which is amazing. The cabin was warm and inviting, the kitchen was well stocked and they even included an emergency bag if needed. Great host, very personable. The cabin is just inches from the main house so if complete privacy is what you’re after this may not offer as much privacy as some need. For our family though it was wonderful, the loft bed in the hidden little nook was really cool. Very nice place
Diana, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Très propre et décoré avec goût. Avoir un micro-ondes serait un atout. Propriétaire est une personne responsable qui respecte et applique les règles. Bravo!
Gisèle, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Awesome apartment, beautiful and spacious for a small group or family, so perfectly situated for everything to do and see in Tofino, and the Sound on one side and the beach on the other are just wonderful. The hosts are so lovely, really will only stay there next trips!
