Beautiful Ski-in/Ski-out Chalet on Grandfathers Trail with Sweeping View
This is the lower unit of our ski chalet duplex with the best ski-in/ski-out on the mountain right onto Grandfathers Trail. The other side of the house has a sweeping gorgeous view of the sunrise, Green Mountain and greenbelt with creek below. Ten foot ceilings, an open floor plan, mountain decor, lots of warm wood and cozy furnishings provide a rustic-modern feel. The rental unit is accessed from your parking by one flight of stairs down to the door.
This ski chalet beautifully sleeps, dines and lounges 8 people. The large kitchen is thoughtfully designed and thoroughly furnished by a fantastic cook who loves to entertain a crowd. Radiant heat in the floor and a propane fireplace keep you cozy. The deck off the kitchen has a stunning view and is equipped with a large hot tub for 6 and propane barbeque. Two queen bedrooms and a bunk area for 4, all with cozy flannel duvets, make a perfect situation for two families or a group of 8.
The location feels high above the forest, inviting you to curl up in front of the fire and gaze out at the sweeping view as you unwind after a fun day of skiing/snowboarding, x-country skiing, skating, snowshoeing, tubing, or hiking. The chalet is well equipped with Wifi, a flat screen streaming tv, DVDs, games, puzzles, and books for your evening entertainment. We have sleds and snowshoes for you to borrow.
Just down the ski hill lies quaint Apex Mountain Resort Village with the Gunbarrel Saloon and Restaurant, The Mountain Shop for equipment, The Edge Bistro and Cafe, a new steak house, The Trading Post for groceries, beverages, sundries, a rental shop, and more. It all has a laid back family-friendly ranch feel. The mountain has something for everyone with incredible skiing and snowboarding with opportunity for lessons, an ice skating adventure loop and hockey rink, tubing, sledding, snowshoeing, world class nordic skiing, snow-mountain biking and snowmobiling. If you time it just right, you may even get to watch world class freestyle and racing competitions and events with athletes from around the world.
This vacation home is perfect for summer getaways as well. Please let us know if you would like to rent in the summer so we may unblock dates for you. The peaceful mountain setting, with sweeping view and a creek just below the deck, is lush and green with excellent hiking and mountain biking right outside the door.

Wow what a really nice place. Great spot on the hill with easy ski in/out. Parking convenient and the hosts super friendly and helpful. We had a great stay here for our daughter’s race weekend. They even let us use their basement for ski waxing. Super impressed.

Louise and Ian,
Thank you for coming! You left the place so clean it made our cleaning job way faster than normal. We hugely appreciate it! You are wonderful guests, we look forward to seeing you again up here at Apex.
Cheers,
Gregg and Lisa
This stay exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The place was absolutely stunning, clean, very “user-friendly” with labels on light switches and guides etc, the wifi was super strong, and the hosts were the kindest people we’ve ever met. They had tons of board games, cooking tools, the hot tub was luxurious and new, there wasn’t a single thing we needed that they didn’t have!! Gregg and Lisa are without exaggeration the most warm and thoughtful people we have had the pleasure of meeting through any travel experience. Will 100% stay again!!

We had an excellent weekend at this property! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The place was awesome, very close to the village and perfect for ski-in, ski-out. We had a really nice time and will definitely be back.
Amazing location for ski in ski out, hosts live upstairs and were great, place is perfectly setup and has everything you could possibly need, best vacation rental we’ve been to !!
The unit was absolutely perfect for our needs and had great access to the slopes. Clean, cozy, warm, and inviting, we would definitely stay there again.
Stayed here last year and liked it so much we stayed again. Perfect ski in/out location. Great set up with everything you could need in a well equipped kitchen. Loved the hot tub with a spectacular view. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot with incredible views. Amazing hosts and great ski in/ ski out convenience. Worked so well with our teenagers coming and going for lunch and breaks. Would highly recommend to any family. Thanks Gregg and Lisa for your hospitality and for lending us skates and sticks!

Had a great stay at this location. Hosts were amazing, answered quickly to all questions and place was very clean. Listing is accurate to what you get, bunk beds don’t have a door but the other two rooms are great.Ski in and out was a little challenging with young kids but overall for intermediate skiers it’s and easy ride in and out.
Gregg and Lisa’s place at Apex was beyond perfect. We stayed there with our kids and grandparents and had an amazing Christmas experience in December 2025. The views were spectacular, and the ski in and ski out was perfection. There is nothing like skiing in and out for a warm lunch at the most amazing hill around. Gregg and Lisa are the most welcoming and gracious hosts, who have literally gone above and beyond to make this the perfect vacation spot. There is an exquisite dining area and kitchen and very roomy living room with sweeping views of the trees and mountains. The beds are so comfortable and there is even two full bathrooms. Our boys absolutely loved the bunk room and made the cutest little hideouts to warm up and hang out in together after a ski day. The place had everything we needed and we enjoyed the giant dining table, games, easy laundry and of course the hot tub! Honestly, this place exceeded our expectations and we really hope we can return!

Thanks so much for the Christmas cookies! Blessings to all,

We had a fantastic time on our ski trip! The home has great access to the slopes and village. Gregg and Lisa were accommodating, friendly, and overall great hosts. Loved the hot tub and views after a full day on the mountain. I highly recommend and plan to be back!

The space was really great for us (two couples and two teens). Beautiful views, great location. The highlight though was our hosts. They are so excited about Apex and the amazing things it has to offer and went above and beyond to make our stay great. We'll be back :)

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your kind review! You were terrific and inspiring guests. We need to get out at sunrise and skin up too. We look forward to your next visit. Cheers!
Lisa and Gregg are fantastic hosts! Their property is located next to grandfather's trail allowing easy ski in and ski out. The property itself is beautiful with lots of well-thought through details in the kitchen and elsewhere, which makes the unit feel like home.

About the host
Hosted by Gregg and Lisa Bronn
The San Juan Islands is our home eight months of the year and we call Apex Mountain home for the ski season. Playing with family and friends is our favorite thing to do! We enjoy all manner of play in the great outdoors, boating, crafting and hosting. We love to host our family and friends both on the island and the mountain.
Why they chose this property
We love Apex Mountain Ski Resort! We bought property here because Apex is a small, friendly community with a lot of fantastic skiers, challenging, powder-filled north-facing steeps, plenty of light powder, and perfect terrain for all levels. Apex is never over crowded like the big resorts, it boasts short lift lines and less expensive ski passes than most areas. The Okanagan boasts 300 days of sunshine per year, ensuring plenty of bluebird ski days with dumps of champagne powder in between. We think it'll become a favorite for you as well. We scored when we bought our property and built a chalet at Apex! It has exceptional ski-in/ski-out right from our door onto Grandfather’s Trail! The sunrise from the hot tub is gorgeous, with a 180 degree view over forested mountains down to the Okanagan Valley and Mt. Baldy. We have friendly neighbors uphill and a huge unobstructed view toward Green Mountain.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location. And late check out time to allow for a full day of skiing on departure day. The ski-in/ski-out makes it exceptional! The view out every window, the high ceilings, warm wood and propane fire, the big hot tub with 180% gorgeous view, the comfortable ability to dine and lounge as many as the unit sleeps in beds (so many do not do this), the super comfortable beds with soft, flannel bedding, the kitchen, which is super well equipped for those who love to cook and entertain, the unique floor plan which uses every inch so well, lots of roomy hooks and benches for all your gear right at the door, ski lockers at the ski-in/out right at the chalet, proximity to every activity you could want to do in the snow, and Penticton just down the hill.
