Just returned from a 5 day stay at the Fireside Lodge at Sun Peaks. We wanted a true ski in/ski out with hot-tub access, in-suite fireplace and full kitchen. Couldn't have asked for more, this place was perfect and priced right. We booked through Owner Direct and/or Sun Peaks Accomodations both of which allow you to view a variety of accomodation types and prices when searching around. I have used Owner Direct for other ski vacation bookings and so far so good.
Our unit at the Fireside Lodge was #301. It faces Mount Morrissey which means a great view of mountains, ski runs and forest but without facing the village corrider which while cute, could be noisy. The unit replicates what you can expect to find in other units in the building except of course for size. We had a 1 bedroom which comes with a balcony, full kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, fireplace, etc. Shared laundry on the same floor, free parking on-site (undesignated though) and we managed to get underground heated parking which was great. The building has an elevator and valet carts so getting all your gear up and down is not a problem. I'm a packrat who brings everything and my hubby didn't even complain it was so easy!
The focus of our trip wasan economical ski trip so we ate in most of the time. Kitchen came with dishes/pots and pans (I brought my favorite knife and was glad i did so!). We brought own booze as well which turned out to be a good idea. The local liquor store sells alot of high end BC wines which are all terrific but not neccessrily what I would always drink. Bring your own food as the only food store is limited in product and is expensive.
Shared hot tub in lodge was very nice. We went skating one night, fun. Tried out the sports centre's outdoor swimming pool (2 minute walk from the Fireside) well worth it.
Our one dining experience was the 'Steakhouse Restaurant' . Great meal and service. Dinner for two with 1 appy, 2 main course, wine for two and a dessert to share with 20% tip came under $125.00.
We will return maybe even this season!
