New for Winter 2023-24! The Stemwinder Lodge is Simply Kimberley's newest property located at the Kimberley Alpine Resort base at 124 Stemwinder Drive. This is the only vacation rental property in Kimberley to sleep 12 in individual real beds with no pull-out sofas, no bunks and all the amenities you need (hot tub, wood-burning stove, garage, off-street parking). Kimberley's largest vacation rental - the Stemwinder Lodge. This custom-finished, 4500 sq foot lodge is located 500m from the main chairlift, across the street from Trickle Cr. golf course. It's the perfect property for large family ski groups in winter and 12-person golf groups in summer. The back deck has an eight-person hot tub plus a brand new, 3-burner Weber Genesis natural gas BBQ. You'll bask under the golden larches (of the new mural) while warming by the wood-burning stove! The Stemwinder Lodge is modelled after a European chalet with six-bedrooms each with its' own ensuite bathroom plus a common area half-bath on the main. The separate two-bedroom walkout suite has become part of the main lodge and is turning into the games room with pool table, 6-person poker table and foosball table. The main floor hosts the master bedroom with a king bed and a twin bed. This bedroom also has its own private door out to the back deck with the hot tub and BBQ. The upper floor has four bedrooms and each bedroom has a king or queen plus a twin bed. The lower-level bedroom has a double and a twin. Every bedroom has it's own ensuite bathroom for the ultimate privacy. The loft has a foosball table and a 55" + Smart TV with Telus Optik sports package. The open living room is accented with timber posts and a wood-burning stove for both heat and ambiance. The current dining table seats ten and is paired with a fully equipped kitchen and an island with seating for four. A custom, live-edge maple hardwood table to seat 14 has been ordered for spring 2024. This is a wheel-chair friendly lodge with an accessible entry ramp and wheel-in bathroom and shower on the master, main floor bedroom. The only accessible property on Stemwinder Drive at Kimberley Alpine Resort! The City of Kimberley is governed by a Good Neighbour Bylaw and our quiet hours of 10 PM - 7 AM must be respected. Stemwinder Drive is a mixed street of full-time residences and vacation rentals. To protect our property and to respect our neighbours, the Stemwinder Lodge is NOT a “party home”. While we encourage our guests to have a good time, please contact us to help rent condos for your group if you're coming to Kimberley to seriously party. We operate with License STRU 2024-005 and are permitted up to 12 adult occupants in total. For additional security purposes, the exterior of the front door is monitored by an Ecobee Smart Camera doorbell and the back deck has a Minut device installed to monitor and report real-time noise decibel levels. We take our good neighbour's responsibility seriously. Tod, the owner, is a tourism professional operating Simply Kimberley; a boutique vacation rental company that focuses on lodging and private charter transportation. Our team cares passionately about tourism in Kimberley and will happily help facilitate your Kimberley experience! The Stemwinder Lodge is set up for contactless check-in with keyless entry. The door and garage codes are shared prior to your arrival. NOTE: please sign up for our email newsletter to learn more about the Simply Kimberley story. 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 5-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, Simply Kimberley provides group and airport transportation to pair with our discounted lift tickets and tee time booking services. In summer, our primary clientele are golf groups who trust us to set up their full golf packages with daily shuttles. The Stemwinder Lodge 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. This lodge has a serious “WOW” factor. You step into a huge entrance room through the french door front entrance complete with front entryway common washroom. Drop your footwear and head into the main lodge with kitchen and living space with wood-burning stove. After a long day of golf, skiing or mountain biking, retire to the bubbling jets of the hot tub on the back deck. When it’s time to retire roll on upstairs, open your bedroom window and you’ll hear peace and quiet of the Purcell Mountains whispering your name. Improvements: * central air conditioning scheduled for install in spring 2024. * built in front entrance storage (jackets, shoes, helmets, ski boots) for spring 2024. * fully stocked with firewood for fall 2023. A free mountain to town ski hill shuttle is available during winter operated by the City of Kimberley. Or, Simply Kimberley runs a small fleet of charter vehicles.
