She made sure we were completely comfortable and had everything we need. She was very clear and concise on the rules which I appreciated. The entire house was very well out together. Super clean and roomy as well. I appreciated how well the walls blocked out sounds from the other rooms. I wouldn't have even known anyone was there if I hadn't seen them. Bed was comfortable, got enough pillows, and I slept like a baby! I had a wonderful time exploring their property. The St Mary River literally runs right though their backyard. It's one of the most gorgeous backyards I've ever seen. I didn't see much wildlife, but I would bet it's an awesome spot for viewing if you have binoculars. Now the best part of a B&B: Morning came and there was a fresh pot of coffee ready and in the fridge, a delicious breakfast. Homemade spinach quiche with turkey sausage, scone and berries with yogurt. It was delicious! Overall I had a fantastic experience at St Mary's River B&B and I will definitely be reconsider staying here on my next road trip through BC.

The common where we hung out and met other travelers area is also very nice. The kitchen is fully equipt so we even cooked a few things! The surrounding nature breathtaking with spectacular views. There is a river that easily offers more than an entire day of fun - fishing, swimming etc.. we even floated down it on an inner tube! The hosts Doug and Dale are super friendly and offered up lots of tips for things to do in Banff. We will be back for sure!

We were in a 1 bedroom 1 bath condo with a gas fireplace, sofa and full kitchen. Garage parking which was nice and a hot tub in the building. The jets in the hot tub did not work and the water in the hot tub was cold the second day. Happily, that was fixed though the British woman at the front desk was snotty when I called to report it - apparently another guest called sooner than I did. She recommended that I utilize the other hot tub across the parking lot from our building. Sure - just as soon as my bathing suit dries out and I stop freezing. Everyone is very friendly and great for dining and activity recommendations.

Sink outside tub/shower and toilet area. Not a big room but perfect if you only need it to sleep. Cute front porch with two chairs to enjoy sunsets (or sunrise). Carport. Expect to be independent. Some days you might need to use your towel again or take them to the front desk to exchange...or the bed might not get made...but if you're okay with that...you're golden! About an hour and a half from airport & Glacier. Only a 1/2 mile to the cutest little Saloon, Trapper's and 2 miles from the Canadian border. Great locals!

For those on cycles, the each carport could easily handle 4 bikes if parked thoughtfully. They are also paved, but the road leading in to them is hard packed gravel. It was still easy to navigate on the bike. The place is in a very quiet area, with beautiful scenery all around. I liked the chairs out on the porch to rest and just chill. The Trapper Saloon is just down the street and is kid friendly. There are more food choices a little further into town. The room itself was decent. Not the most updated place for charging devices. The carpet was well used and little things like the bathroom missing a toilet paper holder are what to expect. (They did have a sticky on it to apologize.) The room I was in had a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, not Keurig type as advertised. No biggie to me though. When checking in, the woman at the desk was very friendly and they have an assortment of local ware for sale there. Overall a good experience.

In April 2019 all students received a farewell email supplied with a video link from our Fernie…read morehost, extremely thoughtful of her to ensure we don't lose our memories of Fernie, how nice! I found the best part of the video was the camera rolling - Fernie ski instructor pants down while hand standing on a beer barrel (like some level 4 yoga pose with drinking in mind)- Drink Drink Drink!!!! Being over 40 and brought up on the other side of the world (Hong Kong), I mistakenly thought this heavy drinking culture leading to sexual intimacy gossip within students and instructor was wrong and silly me to raise a complaint to the most senior CSIA Fernie ski examiner / instructor Mr Jen Mende from Fernie Ski School. Mr Mende had a smart appearance of 5ft maybe weighting 8.5 stone with the good look of full cover of pepper hair, that you won't see in most British men, he represented a trusting figure of a senior ski instructor in Fernie ski resort perhaps since the mid 50's! After weeks of my 'silly' complaint acting like a 2019 woman power idiot, no doubt Mr Mende did the right thing to ignore me, Mr Mende kept his cool with a professional mind, he took up the position as my examiner and failed my exam, although I received zero warning during my whole 5 weeks training. I have to thank Mr Mende for his level headed judgement, giving me the opportunity to know I am the only woman at the bottom level out of 50 students at the last minute. Just to tie up everything nicely as it always does in Fernie, the exam result happened to be given to students at 6pm on the same day when Fernie Tourism got in contact on behalf of my complaint the same morning- matter ended. Here I am back in UK after taking myself out of work for 6 weeks and spending god knows how many Canada dollars to be taught by the finest CSIA Fernie Ski Instructors, my skiing clearly is still as shit as it was 6 weeks ago!! I won't dare to waste these professional Fernie ski instructors time until I master the high level of alcohol consumption on my liver and have a desire of secret love making with strangers before I knock on Fernie Ski Resort door again. Big Thank You to RCR Fernie Ski Resort for the priceless experience of an unlimited ride back to the 80's without a time machine.

The exterior gives the illusion of being in a lodge with beautiful log fencing and well kept floral arrangements. The pool is very clean and refreshing (by this I mean quite cold).

DVD players and a large selection of DVDs are available for rent in the main office. The staff is very friendly and the very affordable price even includes a continental breakfast.
