Lovely, comfortable, family-friendly spot in Big Bay
The apartment is just as lovely as it looks in photos - very clean, very nicely decorated, and very comfortable. 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!

The property was clean and I cannot say enough about the furnishing and decorations! 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!!!
