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 Verified ### 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! The flexibility and ease of checking in and out were much appreciated. Plenty of room and having cable TV to watch a late night movie enhanced our stay as well! We would definitely return to the Outpost!!! ##### Kimberly Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Holiday Inn Express Birch Run - Frankenmuth Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth-Area.h59593.Hotel-Information) > - [Quality Inn & Suites Monroe](https://www.expedia.ca/Monroe-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h23032.Hotel-Information) > - [Americas Best Value Inn Birch Run](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Birch-Run.h459526.Hotel-Information) > - [Silver Sands Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mears-Hotels-Silver-Sands-Hotel-Resort.h113038818.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels with Free Breakfast in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Breakfast.0-0-d178279-tHotelswithFreeBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Americinn by Wyndham Birch Run/Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Of-Birch-RunFrankenmuth.h121385.Hotel-Information) > - [Lumos House on Magician Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Dowagiac-Hotels-Family-Lakehouse-On-Magician-Lake.h81901883.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Cusco Historic Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Cusco-Historic-Center-Cusco-Hotels.0-n6291218-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bridgewater-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h3812334.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Gaspe Peninsula](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaspe-Peninsula-Hotels.d6058128.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [White Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels-White-Pine-Lodge.h12621845.Hotel-Information) > - [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Birch Run-Frankenmuth, MI](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h64238.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambria Hotel Shelby Township - Detroit Utica](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Shelby-Township-Detroit.h36376648.Hotel-Information) > - [Schooner House -Bay View Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Schooner-House-Bay-View-Cottage.h100908442.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton Inn Birch Run/Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Birch-RunFrankenmuth.h60671.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Inn Birch Run - Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth.h64091.Hotel-Information) > - [Wake Up on Lake Superior's Shore,Private Beach,4BR](https://www.expedia.ca/Paradise-Hotels-Just-Beyond-Paradise-Where-Time-Slows-Down.h88663928.Hotel-Information) > - [Lake Life Awaits with Boat Pier, Beach, Hot Tub, Parking on Paw Paw Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Watervliet-Hotels-Lake-Life-Awaits-At-Lakehouse-With-Hot-Tub.h109501680.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to North Charleston (CHS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/chs/winnipeg-to-charleston) > - [Flights from Edmonton (YEA-All Airports) to Toronto (YTO-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yea/yto/edmonton-to-toronto) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Activities > - [Things to do in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Las-Vegas.d178276.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Anaheim-Resort.d6025613.Vacation-Attraction) > - [ISKCON Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/ISKCON-Montreal-Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.d553248621532865790.Vacation-Attraction)
