Summary: We had an amazing stay with our dog and one year old in tow! Michi’s base camp was perfect for a family getaway with easy access to road and mountain biking, hiking and a quick drive into town. Super baby and dog friendly! There were so many thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. Our hosts also provided great ideas of places to visit and see! Our only recommendation would be to have a pack and play crib and highchair available so we didn’t have to bring ours.Would definitely stay again and recommend !!
