Come and be Naturally Distracted in all the best ways!

Enjoy a bright open space design boasting lots of natural light that still provides plenty of cozy nooks to nestle into.

Each comfy sleeping quarters has unique features which will make it hard to choose which one to claim as yours. Do you want a fireplace, a tv, a private deck, mountain or forest views Both bedrooms can either be set up as a King bed or as two twin beds.

Three indoor fireplace zones make it easy to chill out with over a 100 books and a selection of games/puzzles to choose from. However outdoors is just as tempting with 3 fire bowls, a 7 person hot tub, a bonfire pit (firewood is provided) and of course spectacular Rocky Mountain Views.

This tranquil property is the perfect getaway location in all seasons and weather. With over 1200 sq ft of covered decks you will find indoor-outdoor living is unparalleled. The deck is complete with lights so you can enjoy a fun game of ping pong anytime and bust out the big BBQ for some cheffing out whenever you feel inspired. Enjoy the open sky sunny side patio or retreat to a covered deck for some shade when you want it. Beyond the decks is an expansive lawn in every direction for games and a backyard bonfire pit for smokies, marshmallows stories & song.

Winter guests can enjoy complimentary snowshoes (6 pr of various sizes) to explore around and from the property. Summer guests have free access to 4 adult cruiser pedal bikes to adventure to & from town-out and about Fernie. A leisurely pedal to and around town-along the river and with a stop to a patio is honestly one of my favorite things to do!

There is plenty of room for parking and for your toys-bikes-skis-boards snowmobiles -boats etc. There is an indoor cold porch for extra gear storage and a warm mudroom for sports gear to hang dry.

It is a very peaceful & private 2 acre property surrounded by trees nestled in the countryside a short 4 kms from downtown Fernie. The main attractions of course being all the natural distractions including incredible Rocky mountain views of Fernie Alpine Resort, forests, an extensive lawn (it feels like a park here), flowers in season, birds, deer, and neighboring horses. The ever changing light on the mountains from morning to sundown and the winter alpine glow are truly magical.

You may find yourself never wanting to leave! Full moons are spectacular! The Elk River is a 5 min walk from the house where you can hop on a trail and enjoy a breathtaking riverside stroll or snowshoe. Summer adventures can include rafting/paddle boarding to or from the end of my street! Your options for play are plenty.

From the first time I ever saw this property it was love at first sight. I hope you will come and discover for yourself why it is so amazing. Its beautiful, calming, inspiring and relaxing all at the same time!

    This is the best short term rental home. Our host, Sue, was gracious and accommodating. Everything anyone could want or need to enjoy a home away from home in the mountains.

    Absolutely perfect. Beautiful scenery. Gorgeous home with all the amenities and more. Grandchildren especially enjoyed the front tv room where they created their private games room and hangout space. Snow shoes were great fun and the hot tub was very relaxing after a day on the slopes.

    Sue’s place was a perfect home base for a few days on the mountain. The house had everything we needed and the location is beautiful. We hope to return again someday!

    The property is conveniently located 10-15 minutes from all the activities we wanted to do. It was a great place tucked back in the woods to feel like we had our privacy. The manager was very kind and communicative which was very helpful for last minute things we needed or had question about. The house itself was super clean and was very fun. I still can’t get over the views there. Definitely will be going back there next trip
