The layout works exceptionally well for two families. Upstairs, parents can enjoy their own private retreat with three bedrooms furnished in handcrafted True North pine furniture. The primary suite features a queen bed, walk-in closet, and private five-piece ensuite. The second and third bedrooms offer king and double beds respectively and share a four-piece bathroom.
The main floor features beautiful slate flooring, a convenient two-piece powder room, and a warm and inviting living area with comfortable seating, a flat-screen TV, stereo system, and access to a spacious double-wide deck with patio furniture and a natural gas BBQ overlooking the surrounding forest.
The lower level is a favourite with younger guests, offering a separate entertainment area with an LG Smart TV, a gas fireplace accented by live-edge trim and custom cabinetry, two sets of bunk beds, and a full three-piece bathroom. Walk out directly to your private covered hot tub, the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes, regardless of the weather.

We had a great stay at this property. It was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was lots of space for the 8 of us. Richard was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Great property and conveniently located… The walk to the hill is about 7.2 mins and it is ski-in. All amenities are well provided and the owner is very responsive.
This place was an excellent property for our family and friends. Great location and easy access to skiing. The owners were accesible and helpful. We will be back!
Overall great stay! Easy ski in, and about a 10-15 mins walk to timber chair. Hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing! Beds were comfortable. Richard responded quickly to emails.
This property was exactly as described. Very well stocked kitchen, lots of room for two families with a total of 4 kids.

We're very glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We try very hard to make sure all our guests have a good time and look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for the kind words.
Great location and good communication with the owner. Other than crapppy ski weather (obviously out of their control) we had a blast. The hot tub was very nice after a day on the slopes.
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!

Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed hosting you and your family. We hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas stay at the property and that you'll return again. Best Wishes for the New Year.
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.
Richard was an excellent host and very reliable. We were able to contact him and he always responded. House was great for our family and our little 1 1/2 year old grandson..
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 condo. Just as advertised. Well appointed. Great location. Hot tub was not clean when we checked in but that was quickly resolved. Lots of room for everyone so never felt crowded even with 4 adults and 3 teenagers. Would gladly stay here again!
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.

Brian, thank you for your kind words. You are most welcome back any time. We're pleased that your party enjoyed the amenities and the short walk to the ski hill. Also very glad the the snow gods smiled on you! Cheers.
About the host
Hosted by Richard and Sue
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.
