Beautiful and convenient
Had everything we need. Plenty of space and amenities and the location was great to ski to the main lifts. Convenient walk to the village (it’s uphill but everything you’d expect being on a ski hill) or drive to the Happy Valley lodge to do activities there and take the gondola up to the village center. Our kids were in ski lessons and it was easy to go between the condo and the ski school.

Perfect Family Vacation
We had a wonderful week with family at Blacksmith Lodge #1. Our family has been going to Big White for several years, along with friends and their families, and this year we finally found the perfect spot! Our family of 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 1 young adult, and 2 kids under 5 had ample space for play and quiet, meals together, and downtime. The location and layout can't be beat!

Great spot for family ski vacation
We had a great stay in Big White for spring break. The condo was perfect for ski in/ski out and enough space for our two families. Owner was quick to respond and we felt very much at home. Hot tub was perfect after a full day on the slopes. Had amazing views of the Fireworks show on Saturday night. We will definitely be back

Would stay here again!
The owner was friendly and responsive. The property is excellent for two to three couples. The ski-in- ski-out is excellent. The walk to the village is easy enough if you're fit. If you're less fit, you will be fitter by the end of your trip. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Big White vacation.
We had a fantastic week at the property. The house was prefect for our group. Ski in/out, hot tub, fireplace, what more could you ask for. The house has everything we needed including baby gate and pack 'n play. Kitchen is well stocked with essentials and also has a slow cooker and coffee maker.

very good location for ski in, ski out
This is a very good location for ski in ski out. Very roomy for 9 people, 2 master bedrooms with ensuite bath are perfect for 2 families. Comforter is a bit too heavy. TVs are a bit outdated. Sofa bed in the basement is too soft for older kids to sleep in. But overall, we enjoyed our ski vacation at Big White very much.

Fantastic stay
Our visit was a fantastic experience on the mountain and at the rental unit. Blacksmith Lodge was exactly as advertised and came with a well appointed kitchen and all the basics to start our stay. It is a true ski in/ ski out property and the hot tub hit the spot after a day on the slopes. Two king sized bedrooms upstairs and bedrooms downstairs easily accommodated our family of 5 adults. We received quick replies to any questions we had from the host too. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Nick Trowsdale

Host profile image
We first visited Big White in 2000 and immediately fell in love with it. We've skied and boarded many resorts in France, Austria, Italy, USA and Canada. Big White certainly isn't the biggest resort, but it's definitely the most fun.
Since having kids, it's even more fun coming here and there's no doubt about its claim to be in the top 5 kids' centers in the world.
We live in Europe, our kids both love travelling and they're already better skiers and snowboarders than us!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location!

Ski-in and ski-out doesn't get much better than this. Just a step outside the back door, and it's an easy run down to the main lifts, or a short cycle to the Bullet or PLaza CLimb bike trail.
An easy 10 minute walk to either the Main Village Center or Happy Valley.
Beautiful views of the Mountains....

What makes this property unique

Looking out the window at a foot of fresh powder and knowing we can be on the lift before most people have finished breakfast....

Sitting in the hot tub with a cold beer, watching the last of the skiers making their way down to Happy Valley....
