Welcome to our 4 bedroom house right in the heart of the Junction - just an 18 minute drive from the top of the mountain or a 2 minute walk to the Powderkeg and other Junction eateries and bars.

The house has been modernised while keeping some original features to get the balance of old and new. There are 3 rooms with a queen or double bed and “the bunk room” with 4 big single beds the kids will love!

Warm and cosy in winter and cool in Summer this is the perfect spot to bring family and friends for an amazing holiday in the winter for the snow or in the summer for biking and hiking.

* 1 queen bed, 2 double beds, and 4 single bunks.
* All linen provided - including towels
* Free WiFi over Fibre connection.

* 2 x TV, Playstation 4, and bluetooth soundbar speaker

Fabulous place

Loved our time here in this spacious, cosy heritage cottage! The beds were all very comfortable, electric blankets made it next level. A short stroll to the awa, and close to everything you need. Highly recommended.
