+Blackbear Guesthouse has lots of comfort and stylish character. I was a solo traveler without a car but was able to take advantage of a seasonal bus service along the Pacific Rim Highway between Tofino and Ucluelet to get into both towns. The hospitable owners were also happy to give me a lift to Tofino if our journeys coincided. I used Pacific Rim Navigators to get a return trip from Long Beach Airport to the Guesthouse, which is not too far from the airport.
+The Cedar room was perfect. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Enough space and bar ‘fridge, plates, silverware etc to organise a simple breakfast. Especially loved the guest deck with the gorgeous peaceful estuary views. We saw our first bear in the wild.. a distant moving black blob, but it was a bear! Jay generously provided binoculars for a possible future sighting but alas!
+Such a quant little guest room and had everything you will need. Super clean and walkable to the beach.
+Do yourself a favor, do not stay here! The owner is miserable! It's a long story and the owner has already told me that if I leave a bad review she'll just come back and defend it. In short, we were in the area with a bigger group so had to find accommodation for us in a few different places as we all didn't fit in one house. I booked everything under my name to match the credit card payment (all on Expedia) and when we got there we all divided ourselves between the Airbnb's. This one had room for 5 and so 4 stayed here (2 adults and 2 children). One evening a few others from our group went there for a couple hours to hang out and got quite loud. (They didn't realize they had a suite under them and no one knocked on their door to say anything) The next day we got kicked out! The owner (Bobby) said that it was false booking because it was registered under my name but I wasn't physically staying there! I have no idea why that matters, it was still our group..it also never said anywhere that I needed to register the names of all occupants She then proceeded to take money off my card without any communication for the 2 children who also stayed there. Very untrustworthy. (Expedia said c
+Close to bike trail, beaches and town

“Disappointing”
+The owners of this property were very nice and friendly.
−The room was a bedroom, dual key so locked off from the rest of the apartment with no facilities other that a bathroom and bed. There was a refrigerator but no where to prepare food, no sink, very few dishes, 2 stools for sitting with nowhere to relax. There were 2 outside chairs but too cold of an evening to sit out, we ended up sitting on the bed the entire time. The property is on a river inlet as the photos show but its very shallow, more like mudflats that had no water most of the time and plenty of mosquitos. Overall we were disappointed that being 10 minutes from town it offered nowhere to sit and relax or cook. It's pretty much just a bedroom with refrigerator and bathroom. Most accommodation I have stayed in that is a distance from town is usually is set up with facilities for self catering.
+The fact they had a guest deck area to view the bears. Made to feel very welcome

“Saved by nature!”
+Great location! Comfortable stay. Good communication with host, with a heads up for a road block by which we were able to change travel plan in time.
−The suite did not meet up with the expectations in accordance with the price paid. TV remote (which was tacky) did not work, an Apple device had to be used instead, which worked fine after explanation by the host. The wall in the shower had joints falling out and looked dirty, needs freshing up. It is all about details, but at that price level it is that what makes the difference.

“Great location, perfect space.”
+The location was close to the beach which was nice. And the coffee selection in the room was great. There was also local chocolate out for us, which was really tasty!
