Olivier's farmstay / cabin's were absolutely awesome, myself, wife and the kids absolutely loved it! The accommodation itself has beautiful views, lots of space, a warm, cosy atmosphere and is well ap...pointed for both snow / general adventures, cooking at home if you want to, and just spending time around the farm.

The highlight for us was the farm tour with Olivier - kids loved meeting all the animals, and the adults loved learning about how the farm operates and the sustainability of the off grid cabins and farmhouse. If you can possibility fit it in, definitely do it.

Can't recommend it enough!
