Perfect family compound!
The place was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. We had 3 families with us (including children ages 5, 5, and 1.5). It was such a perfect space for our group and really gave us the ability to have our own privacy if we wanted to as well. The 5 y.o’s were obsessed with the bunk area. I loved that it was reasonable distance to both east and west glacier. We wished we could have stayed longer!
