Carpets were full of stains. The one couch had a broken right arm that clearly needs repair. The caulking sealing the kitchen counter has opened up severely. The toilet rocks on the wax ring. The door stop showed so much rust, that it was completely red/brown in color. The unit is clearly NOT maintained adequately. I was terribly disappointed with the rental.

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.

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.
