This condo is perfect. It had everything we needed for our ski trip, along with some special touches. Great location, literally steps away from a ski trail to access lifts (even in low snow conditions)

Thank you for your lovely words. You were great guests and were so happy you enjoyed your stay!! Happy travels!
The apartment was clean, quiet, comfortable and well equipped and with a great location. We would hope this accommodation would be available next time we were vacationing to Fernie.
Great place to stay at Fernie Alpine. We were there off season so super quiet. The accommodations were excellent. Very clean and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and the small patio with a bbq was really nice. Short and scenic drive to town was as advertised - about 7 minutes.

Overall great unit. We did find there there were lots of spiders in the unit but overall not an issue just squished them.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for letting us know about the spiders. We’ve not had this problem before but have given the unit a thorough vacuum and will monitor regularly moving forward. Happy travels to you both!
We had a great experience at this VRBO property. The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. We experienced a minor issue during check in but this was resolved efficiently. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to unwind!

So happy you enjoyed your stay!!! Thanks for the understanding with the check in hiccup!!
Property is exactly as advertised. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A very spacious one bedroom apartment. Communication with Jacqueline was prompt and easy. Enjoyed been slightly out of town in the Alphine resort as the natural surroundings were beautiful, private and very peaceful. Would be wonderful to visit again and experience the winter wonderland it must be

We’re so glad you enjoyed your recent stay with us at Bear Paw Lodges. Come stay again if you’re ever out this way. :)
We stayed for 6 nights in this location. We were very happy with it compared to what we experienced last year at a different place. It was quite roomy for both of us. Lots of little extras were included which we were not accustomed to in other places. The rooms were extra clean and you could tell the owners took pride with their place. A small BBQ on the patio was perfect. Coffee pods supplied which never happens elsewhere !! When we had a couple of questions we texted the owners and got immediate responses which was great. We would recommend a stay at this location over and over
