About this property

A beautifully furnished luxury vacation home in its own grounds on the ski hill

The Space: In this chalet on the ski hill you can experience a luxury vacation at one of the finest homes at the Fernie Alpine Resort. The location of the home is superb being set in its own grounds with easy access to both the resort centre and the slopes. The house has recently undergone a complete and extensive refurbishment and now has the finest quality fixtures, fittings and furniture. The interior of the chalet is full of character with a ski lodge feel and warm comfortable furniture. It has a lovely mixture of traditional with modern and is beautifully furnished throughout. A must for those who enjoy a little comfort and style when on vacation or holiday. You may never want to leave this house. However, be prepared for wildlife. The owners and neighbours of this house have seen (on the front lawn and at the rear of the property) deer, black bears and even a moose which took a liking to the hot tub area.

Guest Access:There are four large bedrooms. Each room has a large king size, queen size or double bed (they are very comfortable). The main bedroom has an en suite and a pull out sofa bed. One of the other bedrooms also has a set of bunk beds. There is a large kitchen with modern appliances (even a TV) and a breakfast bench. There are lounge and dining areas and it even has an indoor heated swimming pool, a steam room, a sauna, a hot tub and a games room with every toy you could want from pinball machines and pool to arcade games. This substantial property sits on its own grounds with unencumbered forest at the rear of the house.

The Neighborhood: This premium substantial ski chalet beckons the discerning winter sports lover. Fernie Alpine Resort offers some of the most challenging skiing anywhere in Canada and has an amazing snow record with over 12m falling on average ever season. Originally a mining town, the ski hill (where you will find this stunning vacation home) is located just 4km out of the historic town and offers wide, well managed slopes alongside some fierce off-piste areas and steep chutes. Its beauty has provided the film location for several Hollywood films including John Cusack’s Hot Tub Time Machine and the Christmas film Santa Pups 2. It is also a tremendous place to stay in the summer and there is plenty to do, from mountain biking to zip-lining, from golf to fishing. At the rear of the property is a deck that overlooks the forest at the rear, complete with barbeque.

The property has been issued a short term rental temporary use permit (STR 104-24) that has been issued by the Regional District of East Kootenay.

Getting Around: There is parking at the house. The house is on the ski hill so it is a short walk (or very short drive) to the ski village.

Beautiful house on the hill

We had a lovely stay at this property gathering family for a wedding celebration weekend. Despite being in the shoulder season, there was lots to do -- beautiful hikes nearby and the house has lots of built-in entertainment with the pool, sauna, hot tub and games room.

Family Vacation

We had a great stay in Fernie! The house was better than we anticipated as far as activities and enough to everything to keep everyone busy. The games room, the pool (much bigger and deeper than we anticipated), the hot tub - we used everything available to us. On check-in we had 3 bears up on the back deck (they had come to to enjoy the BBQ leftovers from the previous visitors) but the house management sent someone over right away to straighten up. They did come and visit a second time up on the deck. We had a few other small issues as we got settled in on the first & second day but the management company handled everything quickly for us. The traditional beds in the rooms were all amazingly comfy and bedding was great. The 2 pull-outs were too uncomfortable to use (& we had planned on using them) so we purchased a couple of air beds from in town and used those instead. Plenty of towels and linens in the house - we did do a load per day of towels to keep stock up (I did bring laundry detergent which was good as there wasn't any on hand but I'm sure management would have brought some if we asked). We cooked all meals @ the house for our week's stay. The kitchen is definitely well-equipped and plenty of "things" but I found a few missing gaps in supplies and somethings that need replacing. The only thing we really wished we had was a second fridge in the home for extras. We will be back for sure, our family had a great time. Thanks Ian and management!

It’s somehow better than the pictures.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Sitting in the backyard under the covered deck, listening to the rain, surrounded by forest, was amazing. The pool is actually bigger than I expected and the sauna is top tier. The only “issues” were some small cleaning-related things - it appeared that a few sets of sheets hadn’t been washed.

Family Fun House

We enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub very much. The game room was a lot of fun too. The wood burning fireplace was a great way to end the day. We would highly recommend this house for a perfect family vacation.

The Family That Skis Together

We highly recommend this property to any group looking for a large luxurious property that can entertain all age groups. For the kids and energetic adults the wet fun and games room can't be beat. Fernie Alpine Resort is a fabulous ski mountain and the Town of Fernie has everything you might need. Property was clean, well outfitted and the host/property management were very attentive to any inquiries we had. Overall, we had a week to remember forever!

Epic time had by all

A group of 8 came in form across the country on the coldest weekend of the season. Unfortunately this meant the Fernie alpine resort was unable to open. Thank goodness we had decided to stay here with Ian at his amazing property. The well equipped luxury accommodations exceeded our expectations. The indoor pool, outdoor hot tub and basement games room proved to invaluable with the lifts being closed. Every aspect of the stay was as seamless as possible as we managed to enjoin our time together immensely despite the disappointment of the closed ski hill. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay in the area. Be sure to set aside some time to really enjoy all the amenities the property has to offer. In addition to the property Ian was a great host. Easy to reach ahead of time, prompt responses to all questions and clear instructions on how to check in and operate all facilities. We did unfortunately cause a small amount of damage to a countertop due to it falling to the ground. But Ian took it all in stride and wouldn’t even accept any payment to repair the damage. Overall a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.

Perfect getaway

This property is exceptional. The amenities are great and provided many hours of entertainment (in addition to some great snowboarding). Steam room, hot tub and sauna were so nice to unwind in after a big day. The location is perfect, literally 60 seconds drive from the main parking lot. Very clean, very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful property!

We organized a girls/mom weekend away, and this property was incredible for that. The location is beautiful, and it was the perfect place to escape the city. We never had to leave the house as there was so much to do. The indoor pool was amazing, and the games room was super fun. I would 10/10 recommend this property (for adults - no children, unless they are older) for the best vacation. The host was so helpful and easy to get in touch with if needed. We had a great stay!

Epic family getaway

Where to start? This house was beyond incredible. Kids and adults all had an equally amazing time. Definitely as advertised. After a day of skiing (and getting ready into boots warmed up on the boot rack!) we spent hours in the pool/hot tub/sauna area and then the evening was spent in the incredible arcade room. House is updated and well taken care of. We didn’t know that the couch in the upstairs loft area was a pull-out prior to arrival and that was a bonus find! You will not be disappointed if you stay here. We are already making plans for our next stay here. Thank you for the wonderful weekend.

Worth the money!!

Great place for stag/bachelor party. House has everything you need and more. Loved the games room downstairs, minus the big buck hunter and racing car game not working. Pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub all absolute game changers especially coming back from a long day skiing, or being hung over. Tons of place to sleep and beds are super comfy and big. The hill is also a quick 2 minute drive away. Property owner is amazing to deal with, and super easy to talk to. Worth every penny!! If I could change one thing about the house, it would be a bathroom and fridge downstairs. Other than that, house is amazing.

Excellent property

A perfect location and property for large groups. We stayed for 3 days in early October and could not speak highly enough of the house itself. With a large group aging from children to elderly adults; there is something to do for everyone with tonnes of room to sneak away for some alone time. The games room in the basement was perfect to keep the kids occupied during a rainy day and the pool/ sauna area is incredible. Beds are kings and the rooms are very spacious with a home like feel. Well worth the price to have everyone together and under one roof
