About this property

On Hill, Luxury King Bed, Daylodge Ski Locker! 2 baths, hot tubs,

COVID CLEANING- 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! And to make your stay even more hassle-free, enjoy the permanent Village core ski locker(located in the Day Lodge basement) so you don't have to carry anything to/from the slopes if you don't want to.

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. The ski-out puts you across the street from the condo.. If you take advantage of the Village core ski locker It's a 5 minute walk to/'from the slopes.

THIS PROPERTY IS:
- SPACIOUS FOR 1-2 GUESTS REQUIRING 1-2 BEDS

- 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 be a bit cramped.....but workable for a short stay.

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. Two top grain leather recliners, a top grain leather lounge chair and the high backed sofa provide comfortable seating for up to 5 guests.(6 if there are kids)

The 4 Oak Captains chairs(an 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. PLEASE NOTE: The two matching leather lounge chairs have been upgraded to more comfortable chairs as shown.


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! A great way to cap off the day!

HAND HELD MASSAGE GUN:
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:
-an international selection of tea's / salt, sea salt / pepper, fresh ground pepper / olive oil, coconut oil / sugar, cane sugar/ a herb, spice assortment / 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.

REMEMBER TO PACK ROBES AND SLIPPERS FOR THE HOT TUBS/SAUNAS!

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.) to cover additional laundry, utilities, wear and tear etc. I contemplated having just one rate for all guests but that would be unfair when 2 guests book the property as they would have to pay more.

This property has its original countertops, cabinetry, sinks and toilets that all work as they should. Instead of replacing, cabinets and countertops have been painted/refurbished and those savings were funneled into premium mattresses/furnishings and a unique selection of quality artwork/sculpture. The way I see it, 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 firmly keeping 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 neighbors 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. You can laugh as loud, hard and long as you want, crank the stereo to that favorite song and by all means have some fun! But you are required to keep noise down to normal conversational levels during quiet hours.

Guests causing excessive noise complaints during quiet hours agree in advance, by booking, to be immediately evicted, pay a $500 excessive noise fine and forfeit any remaining time booked.

We won't stay again

The only good thing I can say about this property is the owner was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our concerns. When we arrived, the place had not been cleaned as there had been a mix up with dates for housekeeping, so we had to change sheets, vacuum and clean toilets, etc ourselves. Everything in the unit is old - bed, furniture, fixtures in bathroom, dishwasher, stove, pots/pans, etc. The place is very cluttered with too much furniture. Lastly, the only door in and out needs to have the handle and lock replaced. It sticks and is hard to open, dangerous in my opinion.

Excellent Fernie getaway.

The host(Dave) went above and beyond to help us get booked in for our stay. The place was clean and comfy. We didn’t use much for kitchen gadgets but it seemed to have all that you would need for making a meal. The AC was a welcomed bonus after spending the day hiking in 30°+ heat. Would definitely go back if the occasion arose.

Awesome Ski Condo

David is awesome. Fernie is unbelievable skiing. This condo is perfect for a couple or a smaller group. Loved the tasteful decorating, gas fireplace...small things that matter...little hooks under the mantle to hang and dry gloves etc, boot dryer (trust me this is such a plus), very comfortable furniture and king size bed and most of all beautiful artwork throughout the condo. It really is such a warm and comfortable place. You can tell David cares about his guests and his condo. Thanks for a great time !

Great family ski weekend

We are a family of 5 with 3 young boys and we stayed at this property at the end of January 2012. We had a great ski weekend in Fernie! The accommodations were great and exactly as described. With young kids, it was a little far for us to use as a true “ski in/ski out” so we just got everyone dressed, then climbed into the vehicle and parked at the hill. We would definitely stay here again! Made for a wonderful and budget friendly weekend in Fernie. Thank you David!

About the host

Hosted by David Pope

Host profile image
I wandered into the Canadian Rockies in my early 20's. I knew right away that I'd found home...and I never left. After floating around for a few years I decided Calgary was the place to grow roots. For over a decade I skied the hills around Calgary. If you were on the road by 6:30 am on big dump days....and if you were able to get through and make it to the hill on time....you still spent the day dealing with lift lines.....lots of people......until I did a 2 day road trip to Fernie that is......just to see what the "little" hill was like.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Fernie the first time I came here. The hill, the people, the laid back atmosphere, the incredible champagne powder and, best of all, with Fernie being removed from the "beaten path" of massive crowds at the hills around Calgary.....no lift lines!

I used to come down here so much that the cost of cheap hotels and eating out was pretty much equal to what the mortgage would be on this condo.....so purchasing it was an easy decision. And it provided the bonus of being on-hill. Not having to get in or out of your vehicle, to get to and from the hill, is such a huge advantage to enjoying your day! I never realized what a pain it was driving, parking, brushing off the car and having to gear up/de-gear outside.......until I didn't have to do it anymore!

Another reason I chose this condo is the hot tub's! Getting off the hill for the day and into a hot tub 5 minutes later is such a bonus! If you get off the hill by 3:15 and head straight for the hot tubs you usually get them all to yourself until around 4:30. And since they change the water every morning in these tubs during ski season, not only do you get the tub to yourself but you get to enjoy freshly changed water as well!

I also chose this unit because of its ground floor location right next to a covered side entrance to the Lodge.
- Easy/fast/safe emergency fire egress -. Both the bedroom and living room windows are at ground level and have quick release pop out screens.
- Ease of loading everything in and out - I was coming back and forth from Calgary every week. Loading everything in and out is so much simpler, quicker and less of a chore with this unit.

I never rented this condo out, for over 20 years, as I needed it at my complete disposal. That way when the big dumps hit I would do midnight runs down from Calgary to be first chair in the mornings. But I spend over half my time in the Okanagan Valley now (a 9-10 hour drive) and don't get down here as much as I'd like to anymore.

What makes this property unique

- no stairs/elevators/lobby's or long hallways to deal with
- luxury king bed

- play your own music with the plug & play stereo

- neck massager

- comfortable seating throughout
