About this property

The Perch, Fernie - stunning views, custom home, 6 beds, AC, BBQ, game room

"Escape to 'The Perch', a well-appointed executive hillside home with breathtaking views of the ski hill and valley.

Open living, kitchen and dining areas will allow your group to make fantastic Fernie memories. The dining table seats 8 comfortably. The spacious kitchen is great for entertaining with a large island that seats three and a gourmet gas range.

Wake up to watch the sun rise on the Lizard range from the king-size bed in the primary bedroom or from the Queen bedroom on the second floor. Children (or child-like adults) can cozy into bunks in the third bedroom (one double and three singles).

There are two entertainment areas: Kick back and relax on a large sectional in the main living room, where you'll enjoy a gas fireplace and television, or head upstairs, where you'll find a recreation area with table tennis and a second TV with ample seating for friends.

Summer visitors will enjoy taking in the views while dining on the 600 square foot raised deck (BBQ available May to October).

Fibre optic internet provides lightning-fast connectivity for all your needs. There is a desk on the second-floor recreation area in case you'd like to check in and get a little work done (quickly) while you're away.

Our rates are structured with extra guest fees to cover the added costs of larger groups (laundering and consumables) and to make our home affordable for smaller groups. Please enter the correct number of guests when booking. Self-check-in is provided for your convenience and verified with an exterior security camera.

There is a secure, heated garage with space for your sporting equipment. Your reservation will include parking for two vehicles ONLY. Please plan accordingly. Please also be advised that there is additional accommodation on the property.

Spectacular

The Perch is beautiful home, thoughtfully appointed with high quality furniture, appliances, and kitchen gadgets. Kids loved the table tennis, adults loved the spacious kitchen and living and dining areas. Easy access to downtown AND the ski hill. Thanks Claudia and Les!

Great stay at the Perch

We had a wonderful stay at the Perch! Beautiful views of the mountains, and clean and well designed inside. Our host was very organized and communicated efficiently. We loved the gas fireplace and cozy setting. Fernie is a lovely place - "a small town with a big heart", as one local put it. Highly recommended both the town and the Perch.

Family weekend

This property is lovely. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The wonderful west facing deck was, so unfortunately, without any shade so unusable much of the day. An umbrella or shade sail would have helped enormously as the views are brilliant. We did look hard for the blender butone one.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia & Les Hayes

Host profile image
As your hosts we look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our home and all Fernie area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for over 20 years. In 2018, we chose to build a home for our family to gather; with ample space for the whole family when we need it and the ability to welcome visitors to the Elk Valley.

What makes this property unique

We often hear that we have the best views in the valley. Our location is ideal, being very close to town and all that it offers yet just minutes from the ski resort. It got its name because it's perched on a hill facing South down the valley. The view of the valley and ski resort is truly stunning.
