Nothing short of amazing. This place was everything we asked for and then some. Very clean, kitchen well stocked, communication was very fast. It was very close to Lake Koocanusa where we spent all of our days. The deck overlooking the pond was a nice touch. Can't wait to go back again.

This is a great cabin!!! Scenic views in a peaceful atmosphere!

We were a party of 7 that stayed for the weekend and skied at Fernie. We had a very nice and comfortable stay. The Nest is clean, cozy and equipped with all necessary things for a weekend getaway (including board games!) Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are huge and spotless! The host was very good at communicating with us and we were nicely surprised to find a bottle of wine upon our arrival! Thank you Cecelia, we hope to come back again!

We had a fantastic holiday in Ron and Sheila's cottage. Everything was exactly as we expected and more. There was everything we could want or need available for us to use while we were there. There is just not enough to say about the location of this property, it is absolutely amazing! The view from the deck and fire pit area was so beautiful. Ron and Sheila were wonderful about returning emails and were so accommodating. We will definitely be back.

The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Ron & Sheila's place was fantastic!! Beautiful spot on the lake for a quiet get away! We especially loved the big deck with bbq and the fire pit. Thank you!

We really enjoyed ourselves. We had what we needed, everything was pretty self-explanatory, no major surprises. Hosts were responsive to a couple of questions that we had going in and during the stay. The dishwasher broke and the firewood was used up right before we got there but no biggie. Beside the cabin is public access to the lake so you can people-watch and say hello to the neighbours and other visitors too.

Ron and Shelia were easy to communicate with and the place was perfect for us. Plus they had some killer old movies to watch!

This place is definitely a must. It has everything you need and then some. The fish were jumping but I had no luck. The place is very cozy. Ron and Sheila were quick to get back to me. Would definitely stay here again. Awesome spot.

Great listing, was everything we expected and even more. Baynes Lake is a great place to get away from the big city.

Ron and Sheila were very helpful and responded quickly. It's a little piece of paradise beside baynes lake, relaxing and so quiet. Great retreat for families with small children and such a lovely space to play out doors. Thank you for sharing your place.

We were happily surprised when we arrived to the farm and realized how nice the guest house was inside; spacious, well equipped, clean and modern. We were invited to see the farm and the animals, and our kids completely loved the experience. It's a short drive to half a dozen lakes, however the lake access within walking distance isn't that nice. Astrid and family were superb generous hosts.

We had a great time at this beautiful log cabin situated on the family farm of our hosts. Our dad is in a wheelchair and Astrid was great at ensuring that he would have easy access to the cabin. We loved the personal touches of some farm bread and organic eggs from the farm chickens, that Astrid and Mathias graciously provided to us. What a peaceful, tranquil spot!

We had an amazing time at the Bolter's chalet. The hosts were very welcoming and warm. The chalet was beautifully appointed. In short, we had a terrific time and look forward to another opportunity to visit them again.

Best location, best house, best host for the best Christmas in our life. We will be back for sure. Thank you!

Astrid was very friendly and welcoming. We felt we could ask her for any help if we needed it.

Astrid and Mathias are excellent hosts and do everything they can to make your stay pleasant. They were great about accommodating our midnight arrival which we really appreciated. The cabin is on their farm and is clean, spacious, and comes with a well equipped kitchen. We used the upper floor of the cabin which comfortably fit 4 people with two single beds and a queen. They had a fresh loaf of bread, milk, and a dozen eggs waiting for us - a nice touch. We were on a ski trip to Fernie and the property is an easy 35 minute drive to the resort. Astrid replies to any questions really quickly and she makes pre-trip planning a breeze. The wood-burning furnace keeps the cabin really warm and they even offer to have the fire started before you arrive home (we liked starting the fire ourselves though). This is an excellent airbnb listing and we highly suggest it.

We had a wonderful stay at Astrid and Mathias's log home. They welcomed us in person and took the time to show us around the rental. They also left the kitchen stocked with some essential condiments and basic dairy items. They even made us a fresh loaf of homemade bread! The accommodations were very clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We appreciated how they made the place kid-friendly with a high chair and stepping stool. We would love to come back again!

We had the most wonderful time at Astrid and Mathias's chalet. Not only was the place beautiful, it was spacious, clean and fully equipped with all necessary items of utility. Most importantly, their hospitality was remarkable. They welcomed us with a fresh loaf of home baked bread and eggs. They also showed a lot of flexibility in terms of our check-in and check-out time, and were always available for any requests. They haven't put up any pictures of their bedrooms and their beautiful farm on this page, but we were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtfulness that they have put into designing their chalet, and the calm and natural beauty of their farm. They took us on a lovely tour of their farm, and we also met their two adorable boys. All in all, a wonderful experience. We are definitely going back!

"Lovely Log Cabin" is probably an understatement. This home is absolutely stunning. The setting is remote enough that you can feel as though you've escaped the city, but there is no shortage of things to do! Between the hot tub, fire pit, and games at the home and the proximity of mountains and lakes nearby, it is impossible to be bored. Maureen is an exceptional host. Communication was always clear and prompt. At the home, there was a tonne of extra information...not to mention the little touches that make you feel like you're staying at a friend's place. We had the best time and look forward to returning!

This cabin was way more than I expected, when we got there, we were amazed by the size and the set up. There were so many little additions that Maureen had that made our stay great. She had also set out Christmas decorations for out stay between December 20th and 23rd. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a trip with their friends, family, or coworkers. We were amazed!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Maureen's cabin. It came with everything you needed and so much more. The cabin was in the perfect location, it was secluded but still close to a lot of things. Maureen was a wonderful host. I highly recommend renting this cabin!

Beautiful secluded cabin with top notch furnishings inside. Perfect for a family retreat. Would highly recommend.

Maureen's cabin is, simply put, gorgeous. In a location that is a short drive from skiing at Fernie, yet secluded enough to give you a rural mountain feel, it is a perfect spot for a winter trip. We rushed back to the beautiful cabin after skiing to soak in the hot tub and light a fire, followed by cooking a gourmet meal in the fully stocked kitchen and relaxing for the evening. Everything you need to enjoy yourself is in the cabin, and there were plenty of surprises and treats awaiting us throughout the house, including a welcome bottle of wine. Our group was there over Valentine's, and the cabin was fittingly decorated with hearts throughout. Details such as these made for a fantastic weekend, and our whole group looks forward to coming back next year, potentially making it an annual trip. I highly recommend Maureen's for a stay in the Fernie area.

Maureen is an excellent host (who went so far as to put out 4th of July decorations for us!) and the house is bigger and even cleaner than it looks online. There's a huge couch in the basement (akin to a screening room) and the main floor is large and airy. We'll definitely be coming back again, this time in the winter to hit up Fernie for some skiing. This rental was an incredible value and it had excellent amenities. Thanks Maureen!

We had a fabulous experience at the cabin in May this year. Even though the weather was not on our side the house made up for it. As others have said in previous reviews the property is much better than the photos (and we loved the photos). The house was situated in a quiet area and was very secluded on a large lot of land making it very private. The outside of the house including garden, hot tub, deck and fire pit were excellent and spacious. The inside was beautiful and extremely comfortable. We felt instantly at home. It was great for the grandparents, the adults and the kids. The house was so well equipped in every room and the lower level (sort of a basement) was an absolute hit with the kids. The abundance of small things in the house (from the candy jars, stocked cupboards with "essentials", ample firewood, blankets, towels, toys, DVDs etc made our stay close to perfect. The owner was extremely welcoming and generous and we cannot wait to come back.

A well kept and beautiful cabin. The listed pictures are accurate to the space. It's hard to describe how enjoyable it was! I went for a weekend ski trip with friends but we ended up spending more time in the cabin than on the hill! - it was that nice! Hot tub, fire place, BBQ, basement theatre room (with heated floors!!), cute themed rooms in the basement; Along with a complimentary bottle of wine, plenty of coffee, tea, snacks, well equipped kitchen and stocked cupboards of spices/condiments - it really doesn't get any better. Maureen is friendly, quick to respond and very open to suggestions and improvements. In my experience, there's nothing this nice in Fernie so don't let the 30 minute drive to town deter you from staying here - you won't know what you're missing. If you have a large group, I would most definitely recommend the stay.

We had a lovely time at this welcoming, cozy space. Our hosts were wonderful and made us feel at home.

Great place for a bud and I to start the day for skiing in Fernie. Shelley is an awesome host and was prompt when we arrived after 9 pm. The woods burning stove was a nice touch and fully stocked firewood. I recommend.

Clean, cozy, simple place. Will stay again. Shelly was very accommodating.

Very cute place in the mountains. Host is very accommodating. Loved having the fire lit for us every evening coming home from skiing! Would love to stay here again the the future!

Staying at Shelley's place was great. We were looking for a place that was close to Fernie and Kimberly for our yearly snowboard trip, so the location was perfect. The accommodation was comfortable and the fire place was a great way to relax at the end of a long day. Firewood was delivered when we got low without having to ask. They were very attentive in that regard. The bedrooms and bathroom were well equipped and had everything we needed for a week long stay. The kitchen was also well equipped with enough pots and pans and flatware for all of us. We had to adjust our travel plans due to bad weather and Shelley was more than accommodating during the whole process. Overall we were very happy with our stay and will likely return again next year. I'm sure it will take her no time to achieve the status of super host. Thanks for the great stay Shelley.

A nice cozy place centrally located for our ski trip.

The house was located in a scenic area. Our only complaints were the cleanliness and the smoke odour. Other than that, we enjoyed our short stay.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here . It was quiet and peaceful. And the BC scenery is beautiful. The cabin was very spacious and clean and the A/C helped with the hot BC weather ! The yard was nice and big for my kids to run around and play . We were allowed to bring our dog which is always an added bonus :-) Debra was very friendly and made us feel comfortable there ! She was accommodating and helpful ( we forgot a couple little things and she had available!). She even stayed up for our late arrival ! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to make our way back there ! The only downside was limited cell service , but we were on holidays so that was ok! Sometimes you need a timeout :-) thanks Deb

Nice place to stay. Wonderful view above the trees. Like this place. Inside you have everything you may need. Quiet and cozy.

Debra was very responsive as I asked questions leading up to the stay! I didn't actually get to talk to her until our last day there, but when I did she was very friendly and welcoming. It was just what I expected, from what was described on the listing. Definitely peaceful and secluded! Great amenities - I did even have some cell service, although I can understand that it isn't listed because it was a weak signal. It's SO beautiful, out in the middle of the forest! Yet, not far from the highway. I would love to return for a longer stay!

Convenient, comfortable and nice place to stay. Debra is nice and friendly host, always happy to help. I will choose this place next time for sure if I am nearby and looking for a place to stay.

We thought is a great rustic location out in the forest. It was perfect for our dogs.

Wow! The hideaway is just fantastic! What a warm welcome! We really did enjoy our stay here, so much so that we decided to stay another night! It is situated - nestled away - 2.5km in to the forest (which is full of deer). The kitchenette which we stayed in was warm and comfy (we had our best nights sleep here over our 16 day journey through BC). During our stay we were made to feel thoroughly looked after, shown the nickel tour (which we highly recommend!) and even got to meet the fantastic dogs which our hosts rescued. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone heading east or west through the Rockies. Or anyone needing a base for boating (lakes so near by) and skiing as Fernie is so close!! This ticks every box! Wifi was great, setting great, accommodation great and our host fantastic! Well done guys! Thanks again for an unbelievable stay! Stephen & Donna

The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Debra's place is literally spotless and shiny. The bedroom and living room both have a generous size and nicle furnished. Very comfortable bed and hot breakfast made our stay very pleasant and remarkable. Location is very convenient for cross-country or downhill skiing. Driving to Fernie Alpine village takes only 30 min. Great stay in very quiet and secluded natural area. Love to come back in the summer and winter.

We are returning customers as we admire welcoming atmosphere of spotless newly renovated cabins located close to the ski hills. Debra and Ken are very accommodating hosts making our stay memorable and pleasant.

This is a great place to stay when visiting Fernie and Kimberley . Debra and Ken were superb hosts and provided us with a comfortable and welcoming stay. The cabin was very clean and well equipped with a microwave, fridge, and towels. We were even given tasty baking! Ken is a great cook. We had delicious lasagna, roast beef, carrot cake and cheesecake. Debra responds quickly to messages. The bnb is easy to find if you follow the directions provided by Debra. Definitely recommend staying here!

We extended our stay because of the excellent hospitality!

Second stay here. Great value. Had everything we needed. Would stay again!

Place was secluded and peaceful. You must drive through a lumber mill to get there, just follow hosts directions.

Great place. Really friendly. Wished we could stayed longer

Good

Very beautiful and very friendly people, quad right to the trails and right back to your door. Will return for sure, with many more friends next time.

Tom is an excellent host! We had a great time swapping stories after an amazing day in the mountains. His home is a beautiful place, nestled on the edge of Tie lake with a spectacular view of the nearby peaks. The home was very clean and modern, with large rooms, and plenty of common areas to relax. I highly recommend Tom's place, a great place to come back to after a day of play.

Tom's place is fantastic! It is a beautiful space, as well as being warm and clean. Tom was a great host. Right from the beginning he was quick with communication, he welcomed us warmly into his place and made us feel at home. We were also lucky enough to spend some time skiing on Fernie with Tom, his knowledge of the mountain and skiing itself made for a very enjoyable day of skiing. Thank you again Tom for an amazing stay, we would love to make it back one day. Brett & Lucy, Auckland, New Zealand.

Very nice place. Right next to a lake!

Great trip again. Thx Tom.

Huge breakfast every morning, which is a great start to the day! Cool little place to stay, which is close to lots of places like Kimberley and Fernie.

Debra's place was in a beautiful location surrounded by the mountains. We had a delicious breakfast there and it was lovely to chat with Marlene and get some tips for our trip and local history. The rooms were spacious and our group of four adults were comfortable there. We would love to visit again and spend more time here. Thanks for having us!

The Hideaway is a lovely place. The cabin we stayed in was roomy and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The setting for the resort is nature at its best. And there is a superb breakfast waiting for you in the morning. The host, Debra, has thought of everything when it comes to comfort and making you feel welcome. We loved walking around the area.

All in all, this was an excellent value! Judging by the enthusiasm of the proprietors it will only get better. If you're looking for a reasonably priced stay in a quiet, welcoming and peaceful place with an abundance of recreation opportunities then look no further. The hosts here are excellent. Communication during booking was nearly immediate and they were able to find the best unit to suit our needs in very short order. The overall location is excellent for anyone interested in outdoor adventure with ski hills, lakes and OHV/snowmobile staging areas nearby. The property is unusually situated in that you're required to access it via the entrance to the local lumber mill and a few kilometers of forest service road. I was provided with perfectly adequate directions and we found it without issue, but it's different. We arrived following a significant amount of snow and it was still readily accessible by vehicle. Check-in was super easy and the outgoing hosts were very accommodating with our few minor requests. We were in cabin #4. We found it in reasonably good condition. Housekeeping was good although the building could have done with having a few minor maintenance issues addressed. The interior of our cabin was bright and welcoming. The furniture was a little careworn but still serviceable. All things considered, I'd say the room is good value for the money. Where this place really shines is the hosts. This seems to be a new venture for them and their enthusiasm for the place is very evident. I can't imagine any situation the wouldn't try to accommodate. The food served here is quite good and offered in such portions and at a rate reminiscent of a stereotypical European grandmother. Our breakfast alone was enough to sustain through a full day of skiing and we were sent home with plenty of goodies too.

Great place to stay! The hosts were super friendly and the food was fantastic! Would defiantly recommend!

Notre weekend était bien mémorable chez Chris. Non seulement était-il bien accueillant, mais il nous a directement mis à l'aise pour tout. Une rencontre extrêmement agréable, un contexte bien pittoresque et une chouette maison. C'était comme être chez nous...mais mieux encore.

Perfect experience, total comfort, awesome host, near new quality home. I drove through the area on business and came across this gem almost by fluke. Perfect example of why Air BnB works for many. It was where I wanted to go, it was priced fairly and the process is simple. Chris made that as good an experience you could ask for. Even better Chris brings a welcome heritage with him and I was honoured to be able to share short stories. I had the opportunity to take up Chris on a home cooked meal and more than happy to pay extra. I expect to be back and hopefully on vacation although stays like that make light of work. I'll recommend friends.

This was the first Airbnb experience for my wife and I. We couldn't have imagined a more pleasant experience. The location was beautiful, the cabin was warm, cozy, and immaculately kept. But what made the stay such an amazing experience was the host, Christopher. He was friendly, personable, and very accommodating. He understood that we were there for our anniversary and gave us plenty of privacy. However, we never felt ignored and found him an incredibly interesting person and immensely enjoyed our conversations with him. He was incredibly generous, well beyond what we have experienced at other B&Bs. We highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a gorgeous mountain retreat that will provide you with a once in a life time experience.

Christopher was the consummate host: welcoming, full of information, solicitous to our needs and so interesting. The setting is woodsy with panoramic views of the valley. The room was very comfortable and home he has built pretty much single-handedly is architecturally elegant and rustic at the same time. A superb experience!

Why, oh why, don't I live closer to Carn Brae Cabin? I confess I'm envious of the people who get to retreat here more often. The deck's view is as peaceful as it looks, Chris' hospitality was warm yet relaxed, and the breakfasts were yummy. The scenery in the area is stunning, and you can choose whether to chill all day and relax in the log cabin (more like a log mansion) or take on activities. We took a hike recommended by Chris, followed by a lovely outdoor cafe. Loved everything!

Chris was a wonderful host. As we rode into his yard he was there to welcome us into his "Rocky place" ( Carn Brae). We were using his B&B as a resting place on our way through. Both my wife and I found ourselves wishing we didn't have to carry on after spending time at this quaint, quite and peaceful destination. This is definitely a place to visit more than once and is certainly worth a multi-day stay.

After a late night ride through the forest we easily found Christophers beautiful home at 10pm. We were greeted with warmness despite the late hour and after a quick tour headed to straight to bed. Christopher is very easy to talk to and offered up a yummy breakfast of eggs, bacon, yogurt and granola. We had a lot of questions about this amazing house that he nearly single handedly built on his own. Unfortunately our stay was only one night and could not truly appreciate the house and area but the view are amazing with your own private balcony off the bedroom with beautiful views of the river and mountains. Thank you, Christopher, for opening your home to us.

Stayed one night with Chris at Carn Brae Cabin. What an amazing house and location. Chris couldn't have been more welcoming, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Would recommend to anyone, and we are planning on staying again.

Super friendly host. Very cozy place. Good location for a large group of friends for a ski trip. Tom has been very helpful, he gave us a tour of the house, he was always accessible whenever we have questions and he even brought us some snacks! It has been an amazing stay for all of us! Will definitely go back!

This is a gorgeous place in an absolutely stunning setting. Everything is laid out to be easy to use, and the house guide that Claire sends out explains everything really clearly. Highly recommended.

Claire was a very attentive host and e-communication was easy. The local couple who looked after the space were also attentive, especially because we had so much snow during our stay and the driveway is quite tricky to navigate. They kept it plowed and sanded for the duration of our stay. The location was absolutely perfect for our families Christmas reunion. The house was the just the right size for us and the outdoor area was great for kids, big and small, to play in and around. We had everything we needed to make our holidays truly special. We would recommend this location if you want to get away from it all and treat yourself and family to a woodland retreat away from the hustle and bustle of busy holiday life. Focus on family time and hike back into the woods or down to the lake for some fresh air.

Claire's place was in a beautiful location and had everything we needed. It was comfortable for our group and would definitely recommend this place. Will definitely be returning.

Nous n'avons pas rencontré Debra, mais Ken, qui nous a fait un accueil chaleureux, le petit déjeuner était excellent et préparé avec amour. Nous avons été touchés par la générosité de notre hôte. Lieu atypique dans les bois, très au calme. Peut recevoir du monde, parfait pour les groupes.

Stayed one night in the adorable bungalow #1 for a birthday getaway. It was everything we expected and more! The directions seemed a little confusing at first, but we followed them exactly and found our way in without getting lost. The hideaway is tucked in to a forest off a logging road, so it feels like an adventure trekking in. We arrived right after a heavy rain, so the parking lot was very icy but Ken was out de-icing and doing his best to counteract nature! We had a 4x4 vehicle so the roads weren't a concern. There was a lot of snow but we did go in February, so that is to be expected in the mountains! The red cabins against the crisp white snow looked adorable. Our bungalow was very clean and cozy. Huge vaulted ceilings and we even had a giant soaker tub in the bathroom! Apparently all the bungalows have these tubs, so if unwinding with a soak is your thing, book a bungalow! The heater warmed us up quickly and we enjoyed a tea (provided in room, along with coffee). Aside from the quaint rooms, the lodge itself had a huge eating area and a fully stocked kitchen, where Ken loves to cook up hot meals for his guests. Big, hearty portions and lots of great desserts to choose from. You will not leave hungry! Try the cheesecake... it's amazing! Our room had a TV and DVD player, and there's a big assortment of dvds to choose from in the lodge. We didn't have much time to explore as we were only in for one night, but there's many trails around the facility into the woods. Wifi was spotty, but the picturesque scenery and tranquility of the hideaway was really all that we needed. Ken and Debra welcomed us like family and we felt very comfortable and taken care of. It's very obvious they are in love with their location and have many improvements and plans for the hideaway in the future. So exciting. We can't wait to come back in the summer and take Ken up on his offer to check out the lake on the boat! The perfect cabin getaway. What a gem :)

Beautiful and peaceful setting with a nest history of the property having been an old miners camp. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. Definitely recommended for a peaceful escape.

This is a fantastic place and you get exactly what you see. It is in a central location to the ski hills. The drive is worth it to fernie based on the price, the breakfast and the relaxing nature of the location. The host Deb and Ken were very friendly and happy to help us in anyway.

I absolutely loved this place !!! It's very quiet and private. The breakfast that is included with it is amazing. The food is so good We will be returning 100 %

Wonderful stay. Quiet and just off the trans Canada. Affordable and clean and welcomed with a smile! I recommend anyone to visit Deb just outside of Fernie :)

Great little place to stay. Quite secluded but great location for access to both Kimberley and Fernie ski resorts. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly. Included breakfast was very good in the mornings. Something different everyday and always very tasty. Didn't get a chance to eat supper there but the offerings sounded great every day. Cabin was cozy, nice to have a good sized living area. Would've been nice to have cable tv and a small kitchenette to pack lunches etc. Overall great stay, thanks!
