House Tour
[acidfree:128 size=200]Through the years, this house has survived the great fires of 1904 and 1908 and although having to endure many years of neglect, it is being lovingly restored by its current owners, Alison Thom and Peter Myers. To find out more about the history of the house, click on History in the navigation bar. [acidfree:166 align=right size=250]Much of the original character has been brought back to life as the restoration takes place, however, some rooms still have a distinctive 70’s feel to them. They are still comfortable and we hope that our visitors can overlook some of these reminders of an era less enlightened!

The upstairs bathroom has been restored to its original beauty, including the fir floors, wainscoting and original 6 ft. long claw foot tub. Even the tallest of our guests can stretch right out for a soothing soak. 
Our modern gas boiler system will ensure you will never run out of hot water.
The downstairs bathroom is clean but not restored. It has a second shower.
Bedrooms
Our house has four bedrooms…two large master bedrooms and two smaller rooms. All linens, pillows and blankets are included. The queen and double beds also have warm feather duvets to keep you warm on those cold Rocky Mountain nights.
North Bedroom
The north bedroom has been fully refurbished and is a beautiful and relaxing place. 
Morning sun filters through the 150 year old Douglas Fir just outside your bedroom window. A built in bunk with a single mattress adds character and a fun hide out for the kids.
This bedroom can sleep three with a queen size bed and a single mattress in the bunk.
South Bedroom
The largest of all the bedrooms, the South Bedroom has yet to be renovated and still sports dated wallpaper. Although not perfect, you will find the bed comfortable and the spacious room overlooking the Elk River a relaxing haven.
The window seat makes for great viewing on nights when the giant Fernie flakes slowly accumulate into a legendary powder experience.
East Bedroom
The East Bedroom with two single bunks has a cool skiing and snowboarding wall mural which will keep you entertained for hours.
West Bedroom
The West Bedroom has an attached upper deck, just in case there is smoker in the group.

The dining room is currently being spruced up so stay tuned to the see images of the “centrepiece” of this magnificent home.

Living Room / Den
nn
Upstairs Lounge
The study is a tranquil space to get away from the activities that can go on in the rest of the house while away on vacation. Curl up with a book or check out the large selection of maps to plan your next adventure.
Yard's and Decks
When visiting in the warmer months, you will love the ambience of the yards and decks. Backyard BBQ’s were meant to feel like this. Deck use is encouraged in the winter but we recommend dressing for the occasion.
Winter temps are typically just below freezing but have been known to hit -20C some days…but it never stays that cold for long!
Spring skiers will love the warmth of the apres ski sun, as it warms your face while you relax on the front porch.
Summer temperatures typically range from low 20’s C (70F) to mid 30’s C (100F) with cool nights, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The large front yard is big enough for soccer, rugby, volleyball or a toss of the Frisbee.
Relaxing on the front parch, watching the sun slip up Cedar Valley will likely be one of the most therapeutic experiences you will ever have…night after night any time of year!
