Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing!! We loved our stay at Blackfish Cottage. Everything was easy, the people were friendly and helpful, and the place was beautiful. The view from the house is gorgeous and the extras like binoculars and fire pit were much appreciated. There was even an orca in the distance to greet us as we arrived! It was a little tight for 2 adults and 3 teens but definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back! ##### Jessica H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason S. Jul 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Jason S.
