The cabin was perfect, cozy & well furnished. The location was mint and the extra touches of the bicycles to the swing, then onto the river was just truly amazing. Would come back again !

Thanks so much Shann for the kind words. It was great to meet you. See you next time at Big Yard Escapes. Kickback, Slowdown and Relax. Cheers, Craig
This cute little hideaway is perfect for refreshing yourself and getting away from the noise, very close proximity to where you want to be in the adventurous high country but far enough away that it is just yourselves! Highly recommend.
Perfect spot to get away from it all.
A night by the fire with the starts was magic after a day on the snow.

Awesome in every aspect.
To sit under the stars by the fire with mountain air swaying the snow guns and the peaceful sing of the river below was perfect.
I stayed for two nights as an escape to get away and clear my mind. It’s perfect. Thank you to Craig for providing every essential and such a comfortable, welcoming place to stay. Sitting down by the river and seeing the stars was a dream
Such a beautiful house and location! We used this as a base for our snowboarding trip, however almost didn’t want to go to the snow so we could spend more time here. The property is beautiful and was the perfect, chilled, off-grid holiday we needed. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Thanks for everything 😊
My partner and I had a lovely 2 night stay. We were to able to appreciate the open land and little visits from the wildlife.
A wonderful location with adequate privacy to relax and rejuvenate.
We loved the home, it was perfect for the 2 of us and had everything we need to be comfortable.
We were also especially impressed with the efficiency of communication between us & Craig.
Happy 'stayerz'

Hi Uni,
Thank you so much for the nice words. Hopefully see you again one day at Big Yard Escapes. Cheers, Craig
The property was exactly as advertised and contained everything we needed for our stay. The location was very convenient -only 15 mins out of Jindabyne and less than half an hour to Kosciuszko NP. The tiny house was surrounded by bushland and farmland, and there was plenty of wildlife spotting. Craig was welcoming and accommodating, and his thoughtfulness in establishing the accommodation is evident. I would definitely recommend Big Yard Escapes as a peaceful getaway from the city or the grind.
Was a wonderful place to stay for our honeymoon - saw snow one morning even in September! Wombats, wallabies, the waterfall 😍
Will definitely be back

Hi, I'm Craig and I love the outdoors. I enjoy snowboarding and 4WD camping, wakeboarding and sitting around the camp fire with friends. I have found my forever home in the Snowy Mountains and called it Big Yard Escapes which I hope you will enjoy as much I do.
