Timberline Lodges King Fir #431

We stayed in the King Fir building, which has the pool and hot tub, very convenient. The pool and hot tub area was clean and well maintained, and a great way to unwind after skiing. We also walked over to the Spruce building to use the sauna, although only one was working during our stay. The unit itself was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, and we all slept well after long days on the hill. The building was generally quiet, which made for a relaxing stay. Laundry is available on-site: $3 to wash and $3 to dry, and machines only accept loonies, so come prepared. The parking lot developed a few potholes overnight due to rapid melting, but maintenance fixed them immediately, which was great to see. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of plates and cutlery. It’s essentially like renting a condo, so plan to bring basics like condiments (ketchup, etc.), Ziploc bags or containers, garbage bags, detergent pods, and robes for the pool. I brought paper towel and hand soap, although hand soap was provided this time. WiFi worked well for basic use, and a big plus was having cable, many units don’t, and since I don’t use Netflix, this was a nice bonus. Check-in was straightforward and easy, which made arrival stress-free. Location is excellent and about a 4-minute walk to the Fernie Alpine Resort ticket office, which made mornings very easy. Recommend the short hike to the waterfall that’s right behind Fernie Visitor Centre called Fairy Creek Falls Trailhead.
