Place was clean and hot tub worked well. Very close to the ski hill. Would be possible to ski down to the condo however would be about a ten minute walk up with all your ski gear through a pathway between the houses. Would stay again!

Thumbs down: As we entered the unit, it smelled of pet pee, so we opened the windows and patio door and it got away. There were lots of cat/dog hair on the couch and carpet. Some hairs on bed and pillows like the sheets and pillow cases were not replaced. One of the toilet has stains. Thumbs up: The kitchen has all the utensils, pots and pans to cook a meal. Location is a 5 -minute walk to the chairlift. Overall, we had a good stay! Thank you.

Perfect for a Mountain Getaway
The pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s got everything you need and has plenty of space for a group of 4. The hot tub was perfect after a day on the hill and fit us all comfortably. A short walk up to the elk chair with the perk of being able to ski back in for lunch. Check in was super easy and the storage had more than enough room for all of our equipment. All 4 of us were pleased and would stay here again. Anthony was also a great host and responded quickly any time I reached out to him.

Nice area but not clean
I have never seen such dirty carpet in a place. I had to wear inside sandals not to ruin my socks. On more then on occasion some one entered my accommodations and turned the heat off so when I got home for the day the place was cold. Uncomfortable and annoying that anyone was even in there. Would not recommend this place.

Hi Curtis, It's a shame you didn't make any contact during your stay and chose to post a review afterwards. We would have been more than happy to resolve your issues if you had. Yes there were a couple of stains on the carpet, which have now been shampooed but we couldn't get a cleaner in there at short notice between stays. Nobody has access to the property during a guests stay, other than our hot tub maintenance company who have zero reason to switch the heat off and simply walk through to check the tub is in good condition. Again we could have explained that if you'd made contact but you didnt. All the best.

Host was great. Place is spacious enough for the short amount of time in a day we spent there. It has almost new BBQ and brand new dishwasher. Two recommendations is it is needing new carpet soon; and deep pocket sheets for the queen bed...corners kept popping off. We would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 27, 2022
Thanks for the feedback Mel. Yes the bbq is about 4 weeks old. Occasionally the cleaners put the double sheets on the queen bed by accident which I’m guessing is what happened here. Let us know next time and we can get it fixed. The carpet gets pretty banged up during ski season but is on our list. See you again soon!

good location
The condo was in a great location but were surprised when we came in at the stains and condition of the carpet. we found gummy bears and food in the dinning area on the floor but the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. the deck was filthy as were the rickety barbecue. The beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen utensils were old and worn. knives were dull but almost everything you need otherwise. the hot tub was clean and worked well. storage unit worked for two bikes if you are creative but the lock needs to be fixed. Overall it was fair but a little worn.

Thanks for your review. It’s a shame you didn’t contact us at all during your stay as we’d have happily rectified these issues. The BBQ has been replaced (and we could’ve swapped it during your stay if you had let us know it was an issue). The unit also had a full end of season deep clean. Next time hopefully you’ll make contact and give your host an opportunity to make right anything your unhappy with rather than waiting until after you’ve left.

Enjoyed our stay! Unit had everything we needed and having the hot tub was a plus after a full day of skiing! Beds were comfortable and kitchen was fully equipped. Some kitchen utensils could use replacing as they are reflecting natural west and tear. Any questions/concerns were immediately addressed by the property manager. Would stay again.

awesome space with private hot tub
Fernie never disappoints! We had a great stay at Tony's place! the condo has two large bedrooms and one with an attached bathroom, plus an additional bathroom. There is a sweet fireplace. The kitchen has all the equipment you need for cooking...pots, pans, etc. Be sure you take your own supplies like spices, sugar and so on. The condo has a regular coffee machine, not a keurig. If you are coffee drinkers, pick up coffee (not pods) for your stay. the private hot tub is certainly an added bonus at the end of the ski day! The building was very quiet and parking is right outside the door. It is a little bit of a walk to the hill, especially if you are wearing ski boots, however, it is ski in, almost to the front door! Tony was very quick to respond to concerns and addressed them right away. We would absolutely stay at Tony's again!

Property was not cleaned and we were charged full price
The property was completely filthy upon our arrival as the cleaning staff had forgotten to clean it. We had to stay in the dirty property that night and were up late waiting for the sheets to dry so we could sleep, then had to leave the property all morning for the cleaners to come. Mistakes happen, but we were charged FULL PRICE and offered ZERO COMPENSATION!

Response from VrboOwner on May 13, 2022
You are right that our cleaners mistakenly left our unit off the schedule for the first time ever. Given you checked in after hours, they were not contactable that evening. I personally came and changed the sheets to the clean ones that were in the cupboard so your kids could get to bed (this was done by 7:30 pm but you chose to hot tub after this) and washed your sheets which I'd say would've been dry by about 9:30 pm. The property itself wasn't dirty, there was no rubbish, all the dishes were clean and the hot tub had been serviced prior to your check in. It was completely cleaned and all the linen changed a second time by our cleaners the very next morning. I tried to reach out to your husband a couple of weeks ago about compensation but didn't get any response as I guess you were more interested in writing a one star review than actually getting compensation. I did suggest that evening your only real alternative option given the cleaners were closed was to get a hotel & apply for a full refund but your husband chose to stay. All the best for the future.

Comfortable, private, good location
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo had plenty of room for the 4 of us (2 couples), all the amenities we needed and the host was very responsive to questions. The private hot tub was for sure the highlight. Our only critiscm (minor) was that the hot tub had way too much chlorine in it which was really difficult to wash off of clothing and skin afterwards, but at the same time, it was reassuring to know that the water was at least very clean! Good place, would stay again!

Property needs some repairs
Location of the condo is good and we enjoyed our trip. However, the general condition of the property is run down and in need of a thorough cleaning. The carpet is dirty and in poor condition. When we moved the coffee table to pull out the hide-a-bed there was random food underneath. The balcony has one broken chair and is in need of a cleaning. The hot-tub has a collection of empty cans behind it. The master bedroom has had the curtain rod half torn off and it has not been replaced. Lastly, the bed in the master is quite squeaky and sacked out.

Hi Eric, sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay. We would have been happy to help whilst you were here but you didn’t say a word. We will speak to our cleaners (who are a professional third party cleaning company) about looking under the coffee table & behind the hot tub in the future. The bed in the master is 2 years old so not quite sure what the issue was there. I think you can see from our many other four and five star reviews and premier partner status that the vast majority of our guests enjoy their stay.

Quaint ski-in condo
Easy access to the ski hill, about a 10 minute walk to the chair. Ski-in was great after a full day of boarding. Hot-tub was in excellent shape, and the rest of the house had lots of room for 4 adults with all the basic amenities. The kitchen appliances could use updating but worked okay. The oven was challenging to get to temp but the stove top worked fine. All in all a cozy spot to hangout after a great day on the hill. Antony is easy to get in touch with and made checking in easy!

Great stay!
Property was great - just as advertised. It is showing its age a bit, but 100% as shown in photos and as advertised. Great location for on hill skiing. Previous folks have noted the frying pans - I 'll echo that - we brought our own and good we did. The owner was great to deal with and responded to our many questions. I suggested they do replace the frying pans as they are pretty rough - literally haha :) I am sure they will given they were very helpful in all other things.

Hi Tim, sorry to hear you didn’t have a great stay, as you can see from our many four and five star reviews (and premier partner status) the vast majority of our guests have a great time and everything works. We are more than happy to resolve any problems guests have, if they make us aware. The guests that checked in the day after you left didn’t have any of the issues you mentioned. You are right that the unit doesn’t have air conditioning and nor do we advertise that. Sorry you had issues with the dishwasher but it does work, we would have been happy to help if you had contacted us during your stay. There was some food a previous guest had left, which our cleaners have now removed. The unit is not pet friendly so I doubt there was cat hair everywhere, and we would’ve happily had our cleaning company come and resolve that had you let us know, as well as the hot tub which is professionally maintained. Perhaps next time, let the property owner know you are not happy rather than saying nothing and leaving a two star review after you check out.

Close to hill, excellent hot tub
This is a great place to stay for two couples. One bed is a double, so a bit small. It is nothing fancy, but has hot tub, fire place, table, and is close to hill. It is affordable, and property manager was accessible for questions. We ate all of our meals here and the dishes were mediocre - dull knives, minimal serving bowls, and pans weren’t great. We made due, but if you can, bring a few of your own serving/cooking dishes. We would still stay here again and definitely gets a 5 star rating.
