This is what our past guests have said about Blacksmith Lodge...

• Stayed for 2 weeks and just had to come back again! Blacksmith lodge has beautiful furnishings, is decorated to an unbeliavable standard and had the best ski access you could imagine. The owners have done a terrific job in making sure everything you need is to hand. The hot tub is soooooo relaxing after a hard day on the slopes and you have to see the views for yourself. (Shaun)
• We had a wonderful week staying at your property in Big White!  Your home is beautiful and extremely well maintained – very, very clean.  The beds are really comfortable; in fact, can you tell us what brand/model the mattresses are (I forgot to check before we left)?  My husband particularly enjoyed the high quality hot tub (Tracey)
• We wanted to thank you for sharing your place. We absolutely loved it! (Pauline)

 About Us

Hi, Thanks for visiting our Big White pages.

We hope you love Blacksmith Lodge and Big White as much as we do! We live in the Netherlands, near Amsterdam, and generally spend about 50-60 days a year skiing & snowboarding in Big White. We have a 5 year old boy and 2 year old girl who love being in the snow. Our boy is now a "Hot Shot" in the ski program, and our girl is just starting to ski.

We both work for Airlines; Irma is a stewardess with KLM and Nick is a longhaul pilot for British Airways. On our travels we've been to lots of ski resorts and nothing comes close to the value-for-money, powder snow and convenience of Big White. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions. We'd love to hear from you!

Happy skiing

Nick & Irma
