The Space:

Stunning Panoramas, Ski-In/Out



Fernie Mountain House is a sprawling, modern take on the ski-in, ski-out experience. With BC’s unparalleled mountains all around you—plus floor-to-ceiling windows to showcase their beauty—Fernie Mountain House offers an exquisite immersion in nature. Whether you hit the slopes or rarely leave the (caramel leather) sofa.



After 25 years of annual family ski trips around the US and Canada, we found that the on-hill vacation rentals rarely lived up to our daydreams. We wanted mountain views to make your jaw drop, ski-in/out convenience, and a clean-lined, modern design that seamlessly unites indoors and out.



The next logical step for us was to bring our vision of the ideal ski home to life on our favorite mountain. We are pleased to now be able to welcome guests to our Fernie Mountain House to share in that vision!

The Living Spaces



Floor-to-ceiling triple glazed windows bring harmony between BC’s boundless nature and the interior spaces—our favorite feature of the property. Bask in sweeping views of the slopes from both the front and back of the house, or get even closer to the views on the deck, with its 7-person hot tub, gas grilling station, Adirondack chairs, and sectional couch. Stay toasty with the outdoor fire feature, plus heated walkway from the hot tub back into the house (during winter season).



The high-ceilinged Great Room makes for the perfect gathering spot for movie nights or sharing stories by the fireplace. A games room adds entertainment on a lazy, stay-at-home day. Lightning speed fibre connected Wi-Fi hot zones for smoother streaming and gaming.



The Cooking & Dining Experience



Create stunning meals for your entire group without losing the sweeping mountain views! With top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas stove, and ample room to coordinate, cooking here is a true experience. Bar seating is handy for entertaining up to 5 observers, and the bar sink lets you craft the ideal post-adventure cocktail.



RDEK licensed short term rental approved permit #10-24 provides a max of 16 guests. Settle in around the 14-person dining room table—great for celebratory feasts, brainstorming sessions with colleagues, or simply catching up with the crew. Two natural gas barbecues let you grill your favorites in the fresh mountain air.



Our property manager (and long-term resident) Bo is always nearby in Fernie. He can help arrange for on-site private chef services and will make sure libations are ready for your arrival! For an evening out, Fernie also has restaurants ranging from casual to eclectic to peruse—definitely something in town for everyone’s taste.
