Fernie, SKI IN, Luxury King bed, hot tubs, saunas

During covid- Some complimentary items(tea's, spices, jams, condiments etc.) have been temporarily removed for the safety of all guests during these trying times. Cleaning fees, following covid protocols, have increased from $49 to $79. As a guest you can rest assured that your host has been very thorough in cleaning/sanitizing this property in advance of your arrival, to provide you with a clean and safe environment. Staying here means not needing your vehicle to get to and from the slopes! It's such a huge advantage when it comes to convenience and saving time, especially on snow days! Staying here also provides the option of not having to book reservations in busy restaurants or dealing with covid line-ups up for bathrooms/food/tables in the Day Lodge at lunch time. Normal warm up and changing areas in the day lodge may not be available for use during the 2021/22 season, it's still up in the air at the moment. Covid rules for this season(check the hills website) are such that staying on hill(and heading to the condo for lunch/warm ups etc.) will be a huge advantage for guests. Last season people who weren't staying on hill had to warm up in their vehicles as all warm up areas were off limits. There are no stairs, elevators, long hallways or lobby's to deal with when staying here. It's only 10 meters from the building door to the condo door, getting in and out during your stay is a breeze. Loading all your luggage, food and other gear in/out of the condo is also a breeze, the condo door is only 15 meters from the covered entryway where you park to load in/out at the beginning/end of your stay. It's a 5 minute walk to the lifts for snowboarders, 6-7 minutes for skiers adept at walking in ski boots. At a slow pace, in ski boots, the walk is around 8-10 minutes. The ski-out from the hill puts you across the street from the condo. THIS PROPERTY IS: - SPACIOUS FOR 1-2 GUESTS - VERY COMFORTABLE FOR 3-4 GUESTS REQUIRING 2 BEDS IN SEPARATE ROOMS This condos unique feature(2 full bathrooms in a 1 bedroom condo) provides 2 separate sleeping areas, each with its own full bathroom and comfortable bed, for groups of 2-4 people. When compared to a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo the savings in rates can be quite substantial. The savings make the 5 minute sofa bed prep time insignificant for groups wanting to stay on-hill...without having to use a regular (and possibly quite uncomfortable) pull out sofa-bed in a 1 bathroom condo. - WORKABLE FOR GROUPS OF 3-6 GUESTS REQUIRING 3 BEDS It takes less than 5 minutes to set-up/take-down the air-bed. It provides a budget friendly (but still quite comfortable) alternative for groups requiring 3 beds. I've hosted many families, the largest being 2 adults/4 kids for a 6 night stay, who've all had a great time. I've also hosted lots of adult groups requiring 3 beds, the largest being 5 adults for a 3 night stay, who also posted 5 star reviews. But 6 adults, for more than a night or two, would probably be a bit cramped.....but workable. MATTRESSES: One of the best reasons to stay here is the mattress! This condo is furnished with an ultra premium Organic Latex King mattress, topped with premium grade memory foam, quilted with thick layers of pure organic wool and 100% organic silk fiber in the pillow-top. Dressed with 420 thread count 100% Cotton Sateen sheets this mattress provides a luxurious nights sleep! Guests also have their choice of a coverlet, comforter or Canadian White Goose Down duvet to sleep under. The premium sofa bed is equipped with a custom made, hinged, heavy duty spring coil mattress that doubles as the seat cushion (not a futon). It provides a comfortable sitting and sleeping surface. To amp up the comfort level even further, when folded out to use as a bed it's topped with a superior quality convoluted foam topper followed by a premium Organic Wool topper(see listing pics). Dressed in the same Cotton Sateen sheets it's almost as comfortable as the King. The air bed is stored conveniently in the blanket chest. If a 3rd bed is required you need to inflate the mattress(it has its own pump and inflates/deflates in 1 minute), then lay out a high density convoluted foam topper (which makes the mattress quite comfortable) shared from the sofa bed, dress it with a mattress pad/bedding then deflate/re-store everything in the morning to free up the floor space. . FURNISHED FOR COMFORT AND SOCIALIZING: Featuring a well spaced, open seating area designed for relaxation and conversation. Plush, top grain leather lounge chairs, an Italian leather reclining wing chair and the high backed sofa provide comfortable seating for up to 5 guests.(6 if there are kids) The 4 Oak Captains chairs(a recent upgrade from normal wood dining chairs) are all arm chairs that have deep padded/upholstered seats and curved/padded/upholstered backs for hours of comfortable dining and socializing at the table. The dining table also has an 18" extension leaf for larger meals, board games and card games. REGARDING LISTING PICTURES AS A GUEST/TRAVELER - I'm not impressed when I see wide angle photography used to create the illusion of spaces being much larger than they truly are. It's more of a red flag for me. AS A HOST - No wide angle photography is used in this listing. I take my own pics (certainly not professional) that are not altered in any way. FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN: with all the cookware/bakeware/dinnerware/glassware and utensils you need. SMALL APPLIANCES: -Coffee maker / 2 slice toaster / Microwave / Slow cooker / Coffee bean grinder(BYOB- bring your own beans :) / Griller / Blender(traditional and a small hand held) / Food Processor / Fondue pot / Baking mixer(hand held) / Iron / Hair drier CHIROPRACTIC MULTI-MODE ROLLING BALL BACK MASSAGER: Lay it out on the leather recliner, lean back, use the remote to fine tune the mode setting you like (upper back / lower back / full back). Then let the silent machine go to work as you recline by the fireplace with a beverage.......very relaxing. Even more so when your muscles are nice and warm just after getting out of the hot tub.....a great way to cap off the day! HAND HELD VIBRATING MASSAGER: Perfect for a tweaked muscle, sore neck or worn out legs from a day of shredding. VIBRATING HOT WATER FOOT MASSAGER: For those of us who ski and have boots that don't fit perfectly. NEW FOR 2021/22- Whisper quiet hot air boot/glove drier for two sets of boots. Nothing better than putting on nice, dry, warm boots in the morning! - Plug & Play stereo- located on top of the blanket chest, plug the headphone jack into your device and listen to your own music through the stereo system. COMPLIMENTARY: (items followed by a * have been temporarily removed for the safety of all guests) -an international selection of tea's* / salt, sea salt / pepper, fresh ground pepper / olive oil, coconut oil* / sugar*, cane sugar*/ a herb, spice assortment* / home made jam* / mustard*, catsup* / baking staples* / paper towel / tissue paper / dish soap / dishwasher detergent / shampoo and conditioner / moisturizing cream* / body wash / hand soap / laundry detergent / fabric softener dryer sheets SELECTION OF GAMES- Risk, Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Cribbage, Monopoly, poker chips, cards and a bunch of other games to help you enjoy your time here.

WINTER SEASON ON-HILL ACTIVITIES: DEC. 15th-APR.15th(approx.) - Skiing, snowboarding, Night skiing/boarding (check dates), Cross country skiing (groomed trails), Snowshoeing and Fat Biking with a decent trail network, Horse drawn sleigh rides, various competitions/races/events throughout the season ON SITE AMENITIES: - 3 big outdoor hot tubs to choose from - 2 saunas (with attached private shower/bathroom) - gas BBQ's (nice big ones, right at the end of the hallway) - 2 games rooms (ping pong and air hockey) - a common area Great Room which features a large stone fireplace, outdoor BBQ's, a dining area, food prep area with sink/microwave, bathroom and comfortable seating. - a library if you want something to read (take a book/leave a book) - a ski locker and tune up/waxing table with iron - outdoor bike storage/locking racks with wash station - outdoor picnic table site with lounging area, huge lawn and Adirondack chairs for BBQ's in the summer sun (right next to the main hot tub gazebo) - big laundry room with commercial washers/dryers, folding table, ironing board RATES ARE FOR 2 GUESTS: $12 per person extra (6 people max.) This property has its original countertops, cabinetry, sinks and toilets that all work as they should. Instead of replacing, cabinets and countertops have been refurbished and those savings were funneled into premium mattresses/furnishings and a nice selection of artwork/sculpture to look at. Your time in the condo is mainly spent cooking/eating, sleeping and chilling out. So I have made these activities as effortless, comfortable and relaxing as possible while still being able to keep rates the lowest on the hill for a condo of this size featuring 2 full bathrooms. This is a well kept, quiet building consisting mainly of full time residents. Though there are numerous on-hill buildings that allow the party-all-night crowd, this is not one of them. I respect my neighbours rights to peace and quiet during quiet hours(11pm-7am) and require all guests to show that same respect. I'm an easygoing Premiere Host doing his absolute best to provide 5 star stays/experiences for all guests. By all means laugh as loud and hard and long as you want, crank the stereo to that favorite song, have some fun! But you are required to keep noise to normal conversational levels during quiet hours. Guests causing excessive noise complaints during quiet hours agree, by booking, to be immediately evicted, pay a $500 excessive noise fine and forfeit any remaining time booked.
