About this property

Luxury Timber Frame Chalet, Fernie Alpine Resort, Ski in/Out

Located on the mountain at Fernie Alpine Resort. This ski in, ski out home is nestled on an old ski run. This remarkable timber frame structure is for the vacationer who appreciates quality and location. Kimbers Timbers commands breath taking views of the Elk Valley, the ski hill and the Lizard range (Canadian Rockies). Construction is primarily of recycled Douglas fir timbers, taken from the decking of a bridge that once crossed the Columbia River at Trail B.C

This lodge is ideal for corporate retreats, weddings and gatherings. It is a superb spot for 2 families or a group of friends wishing to share accommodation while enjoying all that Fernie has to offer.

A unique soapstone fireplace or “Tulikivi” is located in the living room and features a “Forno”, or oven. The dining area has a large custom dining table made of larch and seats up to ten guests. The wrought iron work and the recycled materials add a sense of history and warmth. Original artwork throughout the home along with historical photos of Fernie and the ski hill emphasize the beauty of this home.

The kitchen is a gourmet’s delight; featuring granite counters, gas range with convection oven, fridge, dishwasher, blender, microwave, coffee maker, with an abundant supply of pots, pans and dishes. Cook for yourself or arrange for a chef to come in and create a dining experience for you and your guests.

If you are looking for the most spectacular home at Fernie Alpine Resort, look no further.

Exceptional accommodations

Everything about the place and our stay was fantastic A few very minor comments; coffee machine is very slow, main floor rooms did not have hooks to hang towels, and since we there during Super Bowl, it would have been nice if the TV was biggerAll of the above are minor, as we loved the place

Fantastic!!!

Incredible property. Meticulously maintained, beautifully clean and very well stocked with all the kitchen kit you might need. The piste (holohike- blue and Holiday - green) are directly over the road so truly ski to door. There is an enormous and well thought out kit room in the garage to remove skis and boots, and a boot warmer so they are ready to go in the morning. The house is lovely and warm with under floor heating. The photos do not do it justice. My daughter was worried the furnishings looked dated as so many hotels are plain white cotton nowadays! But they were thoroughly modern and high quality. There was nothing we would change and would return in a heartbeat. Kim is a fantastic host and helped us with ski pass recommendations and local hire recommendations too. we hope we can return to "KimbersTimbers" soon!

Class Ski Trip

Our group has been going on an annual class ski trip since we were in university together. We've stayed at many different properties at several ski resorts and this property was our favourite one we've been too. The ski-in/ski-out access is far better than any other place we've stayed, The bedroom layout was great, and the kitchen was very well stocked.

Ski in Ski out Vacation

We had a fantastic time on our group ski trip staying at the Kimbers Timbers house. Ski in ski out access right across the street made our time on the mountain super convenient. Kim was a fantastic host who went out of his way to make our accommodations and visit really enjoyable. House was perfect for our stay and the hot tub was a welcome sight after a long day on the mountain. Made so many great memories with friends at the house and at the Fernie Resort. We couldn’t have planned it any better.

Great stay!

We had such a lovely reading week at Kim and Jane’s- the home was expansive and cozy at the same time- great for 2 families with teens. The hosts are very kind and responsive. The ski in and out location was top notch. The ski station in the garage was great and very convenient. We also appreciated that the kitchen was well equipped, since we love to cook. The views are amazing, and it was a lovely place to be holed up in on a couple of the very cold days. We are looking forward to coming back! Thanks Kim and Jane!

Great Family Vacation!

This beautiful spacious home is in an excellent ski in/ski out location at Fernie Alpine Resort. We are a family who has used Fernie and an after Christmas gathering spot for many years and we really appreciate the extra space Kimber’s Timbers provided us to enjoy each other’s company and also not trip over each other! (The “kids” aren’t kid-sized anymore.) The kitchen was very well equipped and organized and had everything we needed and the sleeping spaces were very comfortable. We appreciated the space in the garage to store our ski gear. We would definitely return another year.

Great group lodge

Limbers Timbers is a great chalet. The hill being right across the road allows for ski in/ski out. The garage/boot room allows for storage of all your gear. And it being heated drys everything off for the next day. The boot/glove dryer is great amenity. And the foseball table was an added bonus. The chalet itself allowed our group of nine to sleep,eat and lounge comfortably. Kitchen had all the appliances we needed. Bring sandals to access the hot tub. Nothing bad to say about this chalet, would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Excellent ski in and out!

Overall it was very good. There was lots of cupboards in the kitchen, but very few to put any of our food in. Most of them were locked, so we had to put our stuff on the counter. However there was lots of space in kitchen, dining room and in the living room. Getting to the hot tub from the main living space was a bit inconvenient. You had to go out the front door and go down steps and around to the back of the house to get there. We enjoyed our stay.

Impressive timber frame home with stellar views

This one of a kind, true timber frame home was built by hand with love and skill from reclaimed materials from the surrounding area. With stellar mountain views and a super convenient ski-in/ski-out location, you will not be disappointed. The home is incredibly well organized with plenty of gear storage in the garage/mudroom and well stocked throughout. Soaring ceilings, picture windows and intimate gathering spaces are perfect for spending time with friends and family. The kids will enjoy the foosball table in the garage as well as the nooks and crannies for snuggling in with books and games. The covered outdoor hot tub is the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the slopes. The unique European wood-burning stove will keep you cozy while you share unforgettable memories with your loved ones. The large dining table with a view is perfect for big group dinners and the spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms work really well for several families. From incredible cat skiing adventures to the down-home experience of attending a local hockey game to fantastic restaurants and of course the legendary Fernie pow, Kimber‘s Timbers is the perfect place to enjoy all that Fernie has to offer. The hosts are lovely and incredibly humble, gracious and accommodating. We have been making the rounds to the BC ski areas including Sun Peaks, Silverstar, Revelstoke, Big White, Red Mountain and now Fernie and our Fernie experience was second to none. I highly recommend Kimber’s Timbers for your unforgettable Fernie experience.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Fuhrman

Host profile image
We are CaliFernians, ie. Calgarians that commute to Fernie for recreation in the mountains. In the 80's we lived in Canmore (near Banff), but usually travelled to Fernie on winter weekends to enjoy the powder skiing. From 2000 to 2004 (yes it took a long time to build!) we built Kimbers Timbers. Fernie is a great get away from the city. For more information please look for our personal website by searching for Kimbers Timbers.

Why they chose this property

We built Kimbers Timbers. Fernie and Fernie Alpine Resort are special mountain places.

What makes this property unique

The best access to the ski hill is right out the front door of our chalet. When the ski season ends we almost have the mountain to ourselves together with the wildlife!
