About Fernando

Along with seeking a good business opportunity, I felt that it was the right time to invest in real estate that would not only provide a return, but would also allow itself to be a spectacular setting for family and friends to also enjoy themselves in Whistler, BC - one of the most beautiful locations on earth!

Fernando purchased this house in 2003
Why Fernando chose Whistler

The location is less than two blocks from the northwest corner of the main Whistler Village. This makes for a very short walk to the centre (center for our American friends) of the village or less than a 1 minute drive. Sitting on its own 3/4 of an acre parcel of land, gives the property both a very nice and spacious back yard for your outdoor spring and summer activities along with plenty of room for up to 12 vehicles to park free of charge.

What makes this house unique

Your own private bedroom (and bathroom) mixed in with the nicest possible common area amenities to share with family, friends or co-workers that any home could possibly offer.

My mission statement nicely describes it...

Lorimer Ridge Lodge Mission Statement:

Hotel like amenities with all the conveniences of home at a reasonable price.

Lorimer Ridge Stay

Submitted: December 8, 2010 Stayed: November 2010
Dear Fernando:

Thank you for allowing us to stay at the Lodge over Thanksgiving. You have a very nice facility, and we found everything to be in order. We took care of it as if it were our own house, and I don't think we had any breakage or other problems; if you discover that something is amiss, please let me know.

We appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was, and how the shelves were labelled. It certainly helped out when we were unloading the dishwasher. The only change I would make is to provide some additional seating in the living room, as there was only comfortable seating for four.

Thanks again,
Eric Christensen

Fernando

Just wanted to say thank you, we had a wonderful time at Lorimer Ridge, it worked perfectly, all the family was so pleased ……may return sooner then we think. Wonderful place with everything we needed, lots of room and beds. I trust we left everything in order and nothing was left behind??? Anyway, will keep your place on file for our future family events or perhaps guests request from the hotel. Thanks again for everything, my mother had a fabulous 80ath birthday weekend, and we have a basket full of new family memories. Thank you.

PS – only thing needed is a knife sharpener,

Family Reunion

Hi Lorimer,

We had a wonderful stay at Lorimer Lodge from 4 -12 April, it's a tremendous property - perfect for our group. It's well designed, well looked after and had everything we needed for our ski trip.

Carrie was helpful and did a great job.

We were fortunate to get some great snow and lots of sunshine, so it was the perfect trip.

Thanks for your help, and I hope we'll be able to stay at Lorimer Lodge again in the future.

Best regards,

Ed

Fernando,

Wanted to let you know that we had a great time (again) at Lorimer lodge. It is a very fine facility and it met all our expectations.
Unfortunately we had a lot of rain but we managed to enjoy ourselves anyway.

One of my guests wanted me to tell you that she took the room key from room #1 and put it on the shelves in the bathroom by the hot tub and forgot to put it back in the door. If Shelley has not found it and perhaps you could let her know it is there.

Thanks again,

Lorimer Ridge, Whistler

Submitted: December 7, 2010 Stayed: June 2007
Hello Fernando,

Thank you for all the help with putting this weekend together. We were absolutely amazed with the accomodations (the biggest hits were the private bathrooms & locking bedroom doors!!), and the amount of space was ideal for our needs. The kitchen 'equipment' was amazing and was perfect for the huge meals we were preparing every day.

Also, Shelley was a great addition and we all wanted to pass along our thanks for her in cleaning up. We tried to keep that task to a minimum, but we appreciate her help nonetheless.

I will definately be keeping your contact info, and have a suspicion you will hear from again in the future - I'll also pass this along to anyone needing accomodations of this size, which are very difficult to find!

This house was outstanding, and went way beyond our expectations.

Talk to you soon!

Wedding

Hi Fernando,

Everything was absolutely great. We really enjoyed the way the house worked out for us in terms of keeping everyone together and letting them all experience Whistler as well as the event we put on!

I plan on sending you a whole bunch of pictures as I get them. We won't have the ones from our professional photographer for a few weeks as he needs to get through the sorting and editing along with working on other projects, but I'll pass some along as soon as we've got them.

Thank you very much,
Brian

Message from Mrs. Elizalde

Submitted: December 7, 2010 Stayed: December 2008
Dear Fernando

We are back home after a long 24 hour trip. I just want to touch base and tell you how happy we were at the Lorimer Ridge Lodge. The 11 bedrooms were just what we needed being a family of 19 with 4 nannies, who became good friends with Carrie. We were all very comfortable.

Our 4 sons, daughters in law and 9 grandchildren had a great time skiing & snow boarding. The snow was great.

Best regards,

Carmen Elizalde

Great house- very poor management

2 of 5
Submitted: August 19, 2010 Stayed: January 2009
We were very disappointed with our stay just over a year ago (this owner has changed the profile name of the listing so that negative reviews would be erased.). The house was not clean when we arrived, in fact the live in manager was downstairs drinking and playng pool with friends. The game room, sauna, and hot tub were all closed off for the first night ("it still needed to be cleaned") while they partied. Also, when contacting one of the owners- he was completely unhelpful and did nothing. Apparently the group before us trashed the place so the hot tub was down for the majority of our stay and we had multiple plumbing issues (toilets overflowing.). Beware- no refunds and guarantee of all rooms in house and amenities being available. Would not recommend based on very bad experience with management after dropping several thousand dollars into our stay. It's a shame- the house has a lot of potential. Former listing of this property was under Lorimer Ridge Lodge.
Owner's Response: The caretaker that was managing Lorimer Ridge Lodge (name has never been
changed since we started advertising with VRBO in 2006) is no longer working
for us. With that said, Kristi Marino is exaggerating the circumstances -
her group arrived 2 ½ hours early - the second and third floors were
prepared and the first floor was being completed at the time of her arrival.
The games room, sauna and hot tub (all part of the first floor) were ready
for the group's usage at their 4 pm check-in time. It is true that two
toilets (of the 11 total toilets) did back up during their stay, a plumber
was called to repair both the same day and did the repairs the same day. One
toilet was not determined why it was backed up and the second was backed due
to a tampon being flushed (it should be noted that this was a couple of days
into this group's stay). It is true that we have a no refund policy this
is aimed at eliminating cancellations. Any amenities that we advertise are
always in proper working condition. Although rare, items due occasionally
break down during guest stays we have a team of repair people in Whistler
that are willing to go the extra mile and make repairs the same day.

Kristi Marino wrote her review over 18 months after her stay. Why she took
so long, I am not certain, but I do recall her not being satisfied after she
had requested a refund and I pointed out to her that the home was ready for
her group at the arrival time of 4 pm and that at least one of the two
toilets were backed due to her group's usage noting that both were
repaired the same day of her complaint. She became very unhappy when I
denied her request for a refund as a basis for one did not exist.
