About this property

Mountainside Log Chalet at Fernie Alpine Resort

  • This beautiful log chalet is located just a few minutes walk to the ski lifts of Fernie Alpine Resort with ski to the door convenience. Log beds, pine floor, and woodburning fireplace add to the charm of our Black Bear Chalet. In fact, we adopted a stuffed black bear from Fernie Mountain while we were building our home and he is still present as the keeper of our chalet.

    Our chalet is ideal for large families or groups who love to cook and socialize around our large kitchen table, built by one of the owners. Large decks off the kitchen and great room, a propane barbecue, and a commercial hot tub aid to the enjoyment of the secluded property. A fire pit overlooks the lake at the back of the property, giving you a back to nature feel. It truly is a little piece of Canadian paradise!

    The property also has a basement suite, occupied by long term tenants. The basement suite has a completely separate entrance to ensure privacy for our chalet guests. The basement tenants can be used as a resource for local dining and activity recommendations.

    Airport and Transit Details: Cranbrook International Airport is within a 45 minute(s) drive.

    Bus Transit can be reached by driving for 10 minute(s).

    Shopping and Dining: Can be reached by walking for 5 minute(s). Several restaurants are located in walking distance on the hill. There is also a small grocery & liquor store, as well as a a couple of gift shops.

    Nearby Attractions: Tennis courts, horse back riding, mountain biking, chair lift rides are located 5 minutes away.

Very nice log cabin fairly close to the lifts. Host was great at communicating with us. Price a bit high for the area, but enough beds for 6 men without spouses. Common area was spacious with well stocked kitchen.

We LOVED this place! So warm and inviting! Owner was super quick with her responses when we contacted her. Short little walk to the hill was icing on the cake! Have already put in request for rental for next ski season! Thanks for the great hospitality, Lana!

Such a perfect mountainside ski holiday!

Upon arriving to the Black Bear Chalet we were immediately impressed with its rustic,cozy charm. Bedroom accommodations were quite comfortable and well-kept, large kitchen was great for cooking meals, entertaining and the fireplace was a nice touch with plenty of good firewood. Our favourite part was the short walk to the ski hill and the hot tub nestled underneath the cedars apres ski. Lana was awesome to deal with and we would definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful

Our week long stay in Black Bear Chalet was great. The location was perfect with great snow on the mountain and an easy drive into Fernie. There was a very pleasant ambience about the chalet, with the log structure, the fire place and the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and cooking implements and the BBQ was very handy. Our four grown children met us there and we each took a turn cooking the evening meal. It was a fun way to share our time together. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Amazing home and location!

This home in the mountains is amazing! We stayed with three families of four! Fit us all perfectly. Everyone family had their own space and bathroom! The kitchen island is perfect for a buffet style service and the dinning table big enough for us all to eat together! Super close to the ski trails! The views are gorgeous! Lana, the owner was super helpful and got back to us immediately if we had questions. Would definitely without hesitation recommend this home and come back !! Taryn Baker Winnipeg, MB

Excellent Family Reunion Location

We loved our family reunion at Black Bear Chalet! The Chalet was beautiful and perfect for our family group of 14 and 2 pups! I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a cozy mountain getaway! The Chalet was well stocked with everything you need for a large group including kitchen accessories, abundance of towels and plenty of firewood for the fireplace and outdoor firepit. Lana was quick to reply to our email request to park our trailer at the Chalet for the weekend. The Chalet had a well cared for feel, very cozy and comfortable. The hot tub and outdoor firepit offered wonderful additions to the weekend activities. I recommend Black Bear Chalet as the perfect place to create lasting family memories.
