3500 Sq Ft of Mountain Luxury w/Hot Tub and Steam Room @ Stemwinder Chalet by Simply Kimberley

Have you ever longed for a true luxury experience in the mountains of British Columbia? Your search is over. Serving as a golf mecca in the warm weather and a skiing destination in the winter (and just 400m from the main chairlift), the Stemwinder Chalet provides a unique and memorable experience while perfectly attending to all the creature comforts one expects from a home of this calibre. Central AC and new quartz counters throughout.
Our home is pet-friendly with the signing of our Pet Policy and our $25/night/pet surcharge. Please contact the owner Tod if you'd like to bring your dog.

Unfortunately, at this stage, we are not wheelchair-friendly.

The City of Kimberley is governed by a Good Neighbour Bylaw and our quiet hours of 10PM - 7AM must be respected. Stemwinder Drive is a street of primary residences and vacation rentals. To protect our property and to respect our neighbours, the Stemwinder Chalet is NOT a “party home”. Please rent a condo if your group is coming to Kimberley to party. We operate with License STRU 2022-105 and are permitted up to 8 adult occupants.

Our chalet is equipped with a Minut device. This device monitors sound levels, occupancy, and temperature in the property while protecting our guests’ stay and privacy. For additional security purposes, the exterior of the front door is monitored by a Nest cam.


Tod, the owner, is a tourism professional operating Simply Kimberley, a boutique vacation rental company. I live and breathe Kimberley tourism. The Stemwinder Chalet is set up for contactless check-in with keyless entry. The door and garage codes are shared prior to your arrival.
Stemwinder Drive is the main entrance to the Kimberley Alpine Resort base area. Note, you can cross-country ski from the back door over to the Trickle Creek golf course where XC skiing is permitted. In summer, it's a 10-15 minute walk to Trickle Creek Golf Course although most of our golf groups choose our golf-shuttle option.
Most guests arrive by car. However, if you’d like concierge services, my business (Simply Kimberley) provides group transportation and discounted lift tickets. In summer, our primary clientele are golf groups who enjoy our packaged green fees with daily shuttles.

The Stemwinder Chalet has access to the neighbouring paths and the many biking and hiking trails of Kimberley, BC. The property itself is accessed through the front door, ground-level back entrance or the single-car, garage door.
After a long day of golfing, skiing or adventuring, retire to the bubbling jets of the hot tub and then build a cozy fire around the fire ring. When it’s time to retire, you’ll hear the queen-size log beds whispering your name.

LIVING SPACES
Framed by 600-year old locally-sourced larchwood posts and beams, a river rock fireplace (firewood is supplied), and two-story windows, the living room is nothing short of spectacular.

It’s not hard to picture yourself cuddled up on one of the leather couches in front of a roaring fire as you sip on a mug of spiced cider, surrounded by your friends and loved ones. Can you hear the conversation and laughter?

Later it’s time to venture downstairs to the TV/game room to take advantage of the 65” UHD with Netflix and Telus Optik. Telus 1G WiFi streams at speeds near 1000 Mbps. If you’re more in the mood for a friendly competition the ping pong table can provide hours of fun and camaraderie. For the card players, a custom-built poker table was added in the summer of 2022. Whatever activity you choose, it will be in breathtaking style at the Stemwinder Chalet.

COOKING & DINING
The modern and fully-equipped kitchen features a professional Wolf stove and everything you’ll need whether you’re creating full-course meals, easy lunches, or simple snacks. The extra-long peninsula bar provides additional food prep space, as well as seating for 4.

Bring back the tradition of the family meal at the adjacent dining table for 12. Take advantage of the opportunity to share stories and plan your further adventures.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS & BATHROOMS
With six bedrooms and four baths, there’s no doubt everyone in your party will find their own comfortable space to claim.

On the main level, the carpeted main bedroom has a king sleigh bed, a matching dresser, nightstands and a private door leading to the outside hot tub. The en-suite bathroom offers dual vanities, a leisurely soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.

The second level has three carpeted guest rooms, two with queen beds and the other with two twins. These bedrooms share a hall bath with a tub/shower.

The lower level of the home features two guest rooms, each with a gorgeous log queen bunk bed set. These bedrooms share a spa-like bath with a decadent 4-person steam room and walk-in shower.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES
If you close your eyes, it’s easy to picture the warm, soothing bubbles of the hot tub massaging weary muscles. When you manage to emerge, it’s time to light the natural gas fire ring and gather around the circle, perhaps as you’re dining on a dinner grilled on the 3-burner, natural gas Weber BBQ.

We provide off-street parking for up to 5 vehicles, as well as a single-car garage. Our property line is separated from the walkway by a row of larch trees, which turn out in all their golden finery in the fall.

WHAT'S NEARBY?
In the Southeastern corner of British Columbia, a detour off Highway 95 will take you directly to the heart of downtown Kimberley.

We have the Canadian Rockies in our front yard and the Purcell Mountains in our backyard, making us the perfect starting point for both vacation memories and adventure-seeking. In Kimberley, we’ve got all that you’ve come to expect in a classic British Columbia mountain town, with a few twists.

You’ll find 80+ runs and short lift lines at the Kimberley Alpine Resort. It doesn’t get any better than that!
If you dare, head underground to learn about our town’s 125-year mining history. Stock up on your organic snacks and cold-pressed juices at the Stoke Market aka “the gas station”.

With over 160 kilometres of trails within town limits, plus seven golf courses within a 30-minute drive, we’re pretty sure there’s something for everyone, from the novice to the expert.




Ski hill shuttle is available during winter. Or, Simply Kimberley runs a small fleet of charter vehicles.
