Tod and Alicia, the ownerw, are tourism professional operating Simply Kimberley, a vacation management company focusing on our premium properties. We 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 before 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 private shuttle, our transportation business, Resort Tours and Transportation, provides charter transportation from YXC, YYC or FCA (Kalispell). In summer, our primary clientele are golf groups who enjoy our packaged green fees and 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 entrance, ground-level back entrance or the single-car, garage entry door.

After a long day of golfing, skiing or adventuring, retire to the bubbling jets of the hot tub and then chil by our natural gas fire table or build a cozy fire in the living space fireplace. When it’s time to retire, you’ll hear the queen-size log beds whispering your name. From winter 2026, we now have 12 individual sleeping spaces (10 real beds + two new pull-out sofas) as we realize the importance of sleeping 12 people in their own beds.

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 and Telus 1G WiFi throughout. If you’re more in the mood for a friendly competition, the seat eight (8) poker/games table and an outside, covered set of cornhole (bean bag toss) can provide hours of fun and camaraderie. A large Solos stove with surround seating sits outside in the back yard. 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 family meal tradition 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 and a double pull-out sofa lives in the upper common reading area.

The lower level of the home features two guest rooms, each with a gorgeous log queen bunk bed set. The larger bedroom also has a twin bed and the games room has a new queen sized pull-out. 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.
