Our group really enjoyed the stay. The place is better than what the pictures showed. Lots of room, beds were comfortable. Not too far from the ski resort.

Great spot for group ski trip

Very nice home for our group ski trip to Fernie - about a thirty minute drive to the ski hill. Great use of space with many sleeping area options and big communal area. We used outdoor firepit and enjoyed the many board games!

Wonderful

Like the old song says. "A sweet little Nest out there in the west, and let the rest of the world go bye". A great place to re-create.

Family Reunion

Our fam reunion was at my aunts house 3 driveways down from the nest. It was the perfect home to have as our home base for sleep and showers/laundry in between all of the activities. Honestly wish we had more time to enjoy the home because it was wonderful! Far surpassed our expectations and we will be back!

Cooking Pots

Property is good. We enjoyed our stay.Suggestion: Pots are very old. We cud not use them to warm up the food or cook .We used one pot for everything (steel pot). I highly suggest to replace the very old pots. Thank you
