About this property

BEST LOCATION ON THE MOUNTAIN! Thunder Ridge 3 BR Ski in/Out Condo. Sleeps 8.

For quotes in Canadian dollars, ensure the Currency field under Regional Settings is set to: "CAD Canadian Dollar (C$)".

#7 Thunder Ridge Chalet features THE best location at Fernie Alpine Resort. Others say their location is best, BUT THIS ONE DELIVERS. Check out the photos, and see what we're talking about. Just step off the back deck and you are right on the ski run to go DOWN to the lifts and base area amenities. For lunch or at the end of the day just take the 'Holo Hike' ski run and ski right back to the door. No walking - ever! Especially great for families with young skiers who can't easily carry their own gear.

The owners of this property are avid skiers and therefore this home only rents out 4 or 5 times a season. If availability matches with your vacation dates - this is the one to rent!

In addition the fantastic location, the entire property has been renovated with new flooring, appliances, furniture, and a new Sundance spa on the back deck. This property features an open plan main floor with a large living room and kitchen. The living room is perfect for relaxing and entertaining with hardwood floor through out with lots of seating in the living room for entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped with absolutely everything you need. Top end appliances and a large quartz island for socializing around after a great day on the slopes.

The upper floor has three bedrooms:

Master (queen bed, en suite bathroom with shower, walk in closet with washer/dryer)
Bedroom 2 (queen bunk bed (two people on top, two people below), and
Bedroom 3 (queen bed)

The second bathroom on this floor has a full bath & shower and is for use by guests in Bedrooms 2 and 3.

On the back deck is your private hot tub and gas BBQ.

As this is an end unit in Thunder Ridge looking up at the mountain. You have wonderful views of the ski hill and bright sunshine coming in through the day. A few steps away is the Hollo Hike run which takes you DOWN to the elk chair. No walking - EVER! All of the Fernie Alpine Resort's restaurants, bars, spas, and stores are within five minutes, so park the car and forget about driving for a while!

The garage is set up as a gear room and has a boot rack, and racks for skis and boards, poles and clothes. The garage is heated so everything drys out and is ready for the next day.

IMPORTANT

This is a family condo offering a beautiful place for our guests. Party hounds and bachelor groups need not apply. Thunder Ridge has a noise curfew in place so if you are looking for a party place, please apply elsewhere.

Also there is an owner lock off suite on the basement level that is accessed from a separate rear door. This in not a shared space, and there is no common entry or shared rooms with the main rental unit, but owners are there on occation.

**Deception Marketing: This listing is NOT for the whole home. The owners occupy the 4th bedroom that is located below the kitchen area/entry stairwell.Long story short: We booked this listing through VRBO as we prefer to have a whole home to ourselves when we travel. Everything was great until about half way into our stay. While out snowboarding we received a random message from the owner that they would be arriving at the property and staying in the basement bedroom. Completely confused as we booked the property for the week. Unknown to us, there is a 4th bedroom on the lower level that the owner uses which is "NOT disclosed in the listing". Not only is it not in the listing, they conveniently leave out images of the door connecting the 4th bedroom to the home.We contacted VRBO and they stated this breached their policy and that this should be noted in the listing prior to booking. ***This review is to inform future renters that this listing is not the whole home and that the owners may reside in the basement bedroom during your stay.

Best location on the mountain

This was our second time staying here, and we love it. It has everything you need, all in great shape. Clean and comfortable. The location is amazing, true ski in and ski out. The hot tub over looks the ski run. The garage has been converted to an equipment room with racks for your gear including a heater to dry your mitts etc. Super handy. We've been to multiple similar units in the past, this is the first one we've come back to, and we look forward to the next time.

Perfect ski in/ski out

This property is perfectly situs literally steps from the elk chair with access down via a cat track. The condo has lots of room and everything you would need for your stay. The owners left written instructions and were easy to co tact should you have questions. We appreciated the garage converted into an equipment room for ease of getting your boots and all gear on prior to heading out. We will stay again!

Great ski in ski out location!

This is a perfect location and fantastically appointed. Ski right on in.. Cozy ski room to undress and warm up in before heading upstairs to get ready for the relaxing hot tub and talk about your day! The kitchen is so well laid out, well stocked. It makes it so easy to pull together a meal for your family after a fun day on the slopes. Grab your groceries and you are set to go! The cozy living room and fire place made the perfect spot to grab your map and plan your next day on the hill… play some board games or just sit back, relax and watch the snow falling outside the window… the lights on the trees and buildings.. It feels like you are sitting in the most perfect little snow globe. Then off to bed to rest up for the next day in your cozy rooms and super comfortable beds! Then get up and hop right onto the hill, steps from your door and do it all again! You want for nothing here… truly.. It’s the perfect place to spend time and make memories with your family..It feels so homey. We are so grateful!

About the host

Hosted by Dean or Catherine Novak

Host profile image
We are a couple from Calgary but have been skiing in Fernie for over 30 years. We know the resort and the town inside out and love to share the many experiences it offers with people from around the world.

Why they chose this property

Fernie, and specifically this wonderful condo, really let's you unwind. Often we arrive, and don't get back in the car to go any where for days as everything you need is right there. So great not to have to drive!

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. Many people market their properties with great location or best location. Thunder Ridge, and specifically this unit in Thunder Ridge, truly is the best. Look at the photos and you can see that you literally step off the back deck, and start skiing down to the lifts, AND you can ski back right to the same spot for lunch or the end of the day.
