used the condo for a fishing vacation. Condo is superbly located to take in the Fernie area. Haven't booked it for skiing yet but plan to do so this winter. The unit is very clean and very well cared for. You really can't go wrong by by booking this condo, can easily accomidate a family of 8 but works for couples too.

An amazing place to stay on the hill in fernie. A very relaxing stay. The kitchen was superb and easy access to and from the hill made the stay enjoyable for both skiing and biking vacations. I have stayed here multiple times in both summer and winter seasons and will go again.

A short walk to chairlifts, (ski back) to a general store,liquor store,restaurants, pubs and entertainment.
Amazing timberframe chalet with perfect location
Katherine from BC
Date: Sep-09-2012
Perfect location 5 minutes to Elk chairlift. We loved downhill skiing in the morning,skiing back to the chalet for lunch, having a relaxing hot tub and then going back out for a xc ski. Dinner, a walk afterwards,followed by a restful sleep and then doing it all over again the next day. Most memorable was the early morning call of "Everybody out of bed! It's a Fernie powder day!" Fernie powder is legendary. This is a beautiful timberframe building with wonderful architectural details. The timbers in the vaulted ceiling are a work of art. The wide plank pine floors are beautiful. Very nice details throughout. There is good separation of the bedrooms/living areas since they are on different levels. Lots of room for ski gear storage. Kitchen seats 8 comfortably. Really like a home away from home, making for a very relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again.
Very nice unit, beautiful wood work and cozy
