If you want to be in the midst of it all, while getting away from it all, our Chalet may just be the perfect place for your family vacation, guys weekend, girls retreat, hunting trip, or Kootenay adventure. Located only 35 minutes from both Cranbrook and Fernie, B.C., and a mere 10-minute walk to the blue-green waters of Lake Koocanusa, Bolter Chalet is one of those special places where families can connect, adventurers can explore, hunters can reload, and all others can just be…present.
The Space:
Situated on a scenic farm and surrounded by mountain views, our well-thought out, modern and functional log chalet accommodates up to eight guests and offers every amenity you require throughout your stay. It was built and designed with quality and functionality in mind, from construction to superior furnishing.
Both quiet and private, the solar- heated and fully-furnished chalet features a top floor with 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4), bathroom with shower, and a thoughtfully-stocked kitchen complete with dishwasher and microwave. There is a cozy wood-burning fireplace, access to laundry facilities, DVD and TV, and a wrap-around sun deck with a majestic mountain view.
The ground-floor has 2 additional bedrooms (one with 2 twin beds and the other a large room with a queen bed), dining area, additional microwave and toaster oven, as well as one bathroom with a tub and direct access to the laundry facilities.
If you are looking to combine business and pleasure, or work from a place that inspires creativity, our Chalet checks all the boxes. Access Wi-Fi and connect to the world, while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. Go for a walk before your meeting. Do yoga on the deck before tackling that deadline. Grab a glass of wine, take in the Kootenay scenery, and catch up on your emails. Write. Create. Innovate -- then go explore the farm.
Feel some dirt. Smell the grass. Listen to the birds.
The Location:
Bolter Farm & Chalet offers year-round accommodation in the heart of the Kootenays, an area celebrated for its four distinct seasons, each of which bring unique world-class recreational opportunities to our doorstep -- from the epic slopes of Fernie Alpine Resort to renowned golf courses of all sizes and styles.
The Trans Canada Biking Trail , only minutes from the Chalet, is just one example of the vast networks of hiking and biking trails found throughout the area. The nearby Elk Valley, Bull and Wigwam Rivers are a world-class fly-fishing mecca, while Lake Koocanusa, a short 10-minute walk from our chalet, offers some of the best swimming, fishing, boating and summer-time recreation to be found. And if you’re into quiet mountain lakes, we can point you in that direction too. Suzanne Lake and Northstar Lake Recreation Sites are a short 15-minute drive away and offer great fishing, picnicking and swimming. While nearby Rosen Lake and Tie Lake are fun for boating! The Kootenays are also a premier destination for canoeing and kayaking, whether you’re looking for calm waters or roaring rapids.
