Multiple Family Ski/Christmas

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at this cabin! We were two families of 4 and the sleeping options and multitude of bathrooms were terrific! The cabin is extremely well stocked with good quality amenities. The entire place was spotless and the hot tub was amazing! The owners were incredibly conscientious making sure that our stay was worry-free. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to the Fernie area!

Amazing!

Although the weather didn’t cooperate for the entire stay the place was amazing and very comfortable for a group of 7 friends. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook for a large group and the bed arrangements worked very well. Appreciated the easy check in and all the amenities the place had to offer.

Great Stay

Great stay at Richards property, a perfect spot for two families of four. Very comfortable and clean. Location was good, definitely a ski in but not a ski out. A good 8 minute walk from the property to the lifts so we would drive up our skis and then walk in from there making it easier for the kids.

Jan Ski Stay

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property. The listing was very accurate and the house was well stocked. We were able to walk to several restaurants and one night got delivery from a pizza place in Fernie. The location was great for us and we were able to ski right up to the house. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Excellent group ski accommodation

Lots of room and amenities to accommodate six skiers for six days. Really appreciated the convenience of ski out and short walk to hillside amenities, hot tub, and laundry facility. Everything was clean and ready on arrival. The Owner was super proactive and responsive throughout. An easy recommendation.

Clean, cozy with excellent extras!

The place is just as advertised and very comfortable. Just enough entertainment in the house and in a great location. If I could give the location a 4.5 star I would, only as a piece of advice if you have small children... bring a sled! The hike up to the lift is a little far for tiny legs (our kids were 3 and 5) the walk would have drained most of their skiing energy. It was fine for the adults.

Dirty Glass ware and dishes

Had to rewash the glasses and dishes we used by hand as they were put away with small chunks of food attached - the rest of the place was clean just the dishes were dirty - need to do a better job checking these things

Fernie Ski Trip at Polar Peak

Our trip was with a group of eight adults for a ski weekend before the busy Christmas season. The Polar Peak townhouse was a perfect location and lay out for our group. Its big enough that everyone can have their own space but cozy enough to all sit together and have dinner and relax after a big ski day. The hill is within 5 minutes walking distance and I imagine pretty awesome to ski out to. As the snow conditions were not the best, we did not have the luxury to ski out but I hope to be back when there is a bit better snow! Richard is very organized and very prompt at replying. He even checked in when we got there to make sure we were finding everything adequate - a very nice touch. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to a friend or family! Thank you so much for having us!

Fabulous multi family rental

We rented this condo from Richard over the Christmas break and it was a fantastic experience! Right from the beginning Richard was great to deal with through e-mail and even called when we first got there to make sure everything was good. There were 2 families consisting of 4 adults and 4 kids staying in the condo and there was more than enough room for everyone. The kids enjoyed hanging out in the basement which had everything they needed and the adults enjoyed the main level where there was plenty of room to relax. The huge windows were also very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was very well stocked with dishes, utensils, storage containers for leftovers and lots of different spices for cooking. I was very happy with everything that was provided. The upstairs had plenty of space for everyone and the bedrooms were larger than I was expecting. Loved having the hot tub right outside the basement door after a great day of skiing! We loved the ski-in route through the trees that we took to get home but the walk up the hill to the ski lifts was a bit long for the younger kids. We have stayed at several VRBO rentals over the years and this has been one of the best!! It was like a home away from home, the location was great and the owner really cares about your experience!

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Sue

Host profile image
We (Sue and Richard) hail from Southwestern Ontario and Trinidad respectively, and currently make Toronto our home. Our blended family of four children, all in their twenties, are now leaving the nest one by one. We are an eclectic group of avid skiers/snowboarders, swimmers, scuba divers, hikers, sailors, musicians, food and wine lovers!

Why they chose this property

We vacationed in Fernie in 2000, and fell in love with the hometown feel and friendliness of this small and historic mining community which offered the best powder skiing in Canada.
Polar Peak is a magical place for us, nestled amongst the pines and firs at the Fernie Alpine Resort. By day it is a great base for the many activities offered in Fernie and the Elk Valley. By night it is engulfed by a wondrous canopy of stars so bright that you realize that the universe has taken extra special care to create this unique and unspoiled mecca. It is a place to re-balance, to pursue the joy of life (and its real priorities!), and enjoy family and friends.

Our favourite outings – apart from fabulous skiing (Oh... what powder!!!), hiking the Lost Boys Pass along the ridge to Polar Peaks or the trails around Island Lake Lodge, and thereafter enjoying a BBQ with friends. Farther afield, hiking Glacier and Waterton National Parks.
