Fantastic location, we were able to ski up to our truck and store skis or use indoor locker storage
Best ski rental shop in Fernie in the basement floor. The Condo unit was great for three of us.

Convenient location if using the Fernie Resort. Quiet and has what you need for a place to stay. No amenities or staff, so basically think “staying at my buddy’s place”, and you’ll be happy with what you get. Beds were decent.

The location in the mountains is stunning. This is a great spot to stay for skiing as you can ski right up to the property. We had a condo unit rented through a management company, which all went very smoothly. The value for the price was very good.

Nice ski in/out. Place was clean and had enough kitchen amenities to eat in our room. Hot tub was nice after a day of hiking and skiing! Room was dated, but comfortable and clean.

The location on the hill can't be beat! The room had everything we needed. Great system with the key pads to access the room, we didn't have to worry about who had the key since we all came and went at different times. Only minor complaint is that the hot tub could have been warmer for our aching muscles. I know it loses heat because it's so big but maybe it could be set higher to compensate for that.

Very old fashioned - did the job for a couple of nights, but wouldn't want to stay longer. Ideal if you're on a budget and want to be near the ski slopes.

Great stay and nice close to the lifts
Nice’n clean but being on a ski resort you would expect extra drying racks for clothing/ helmet…
The recliner sofa was super great for nap during lunch break putting the feet up.
Parking lot was not cleared from snow.

The location couldn’t be better. Right on the hill and easy access to the lifts, bar and restaurant. The building is showing its age and could be updated. The restaurant attached to the building is shut down which was unfortunate. All in all it was great value for what we paid.

Well the room looked nothing like the picture that we booked , it was extremely dirty, the room was very small , very loud , unable to control the temp in the room , which was extremely hot , no water for half a day , there was no restaurant on the property, just so much wrong , and very disappointing! I will never stay again

The room we booked was pretty run down and needs some work. Breaker would trip if we he light was in when using microwave. Murphy bed legs were falling apart. Shower would scald you if the room next to us flushed toilet. Great location. The owner should spend a little money and make nessasary repairs.

Get what you pay for. Beds were comfy. Inadequate dishes (1 coffee cup, 1 fork, but lots of spoons?) dishes were dirty (very sticky so not washed) and no dishwasher so dishes are just being hand washed in sink. Not much counter space. Shower doesn’t have consistent temperature so got scalded a couple times. Pool and hot tub are nice. Staff are friendly but unavailable between 5pm-9am. Location is amazing. Happy to find a decent priced room right on the hill.

#203 faces the front of the Mnt, 2min walk to Elk chair, newly renovated huge hot tub and pool with pool side showers and a water fountain. We were texted for an early check as the room was cleaned early. The unit was fully stocked. We didn't need anything. They had filters for the coffee maker, every type of utensil and dish. Make your ice on arrival. So easy to come in for a quick lunch. No washer it dryer in the unit but the boot warmer was enough. Extremelu nice to have. Looking forward to go back. Ps the pictures online didn't do it justice. Way nicer in person.

Cozy, comfortable bed. Lobby under construction. There is no staff that we were aware of. Not sure if this is a airbnb but code to get into building and your room. If your not on the top floor you will hear people walking above you. Couple of the lamps were broke. Coffee was provided but no filters which I thought was kind of weird. TV didn’t work. Room for improvement I would say.
