We stayed there with our two year old daughter and so appreciated all the baby gear provided - from toys to a high chair to a pack and play. The kitchen is well-stocked - including with kids dishes and cups - so it’s easy and comfortable to cook as well. The hosts are very responsive and considerate and are great hosts. It’s a great spot to stay in to explore Big Bay! ##### Anna F. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicole c.

The snacks and the welcome note were very inviting, as we were happy to have the snacks provided when we went skiing - the trails are walking distance as well as some amazing restaurants!
