FEATURED RESERVATION | OurFernie.com

OurFernie.com has quickly become the website when searching for anything Fernie. Whether a resident looking for the weather forecast, a skier looking to sell gear, a visitor wanting to find out what’s happening tonight, or a potential visitor parusing accommodation, OurFernie.com is always a useful and entertaining one stop shop. The forums alone have become a daily read for those wanting to keep “in the loop” of community issues.

OurFernie.com is a non-profit website built by the community for the community – a community co-operative. This means that people can become members and have equal say in what OurFernie does. Regardless of whether a member or not, site visitors have the opportunity to register, which is free, contribute content, join forum conversations, add events, and so much more.

This inclusive feature of OurFernie.com makes it the popular and attractive site it has grown into because visitors know that the listings, events, news, stories and more posted on this site are an honest representation of what is currently available or happening in town, as opposed to listings based on paid advertisers or members.
OurFernie.com offers very competitive rates for those wishing to list rental properties on the site. At just 10% commission, listing properties is inexpensive and effortless. The site draws a multitude of visitors and inevitably attracts them to this community. Offering these visitors the option of booking their accommodation is an added benefit for both visitors and accommodators.

OurFernie sums up their goals in the following quote:

“OurFernie markets Fernie and Fernie businesses to anyone wishing to visit us.
We intend to be inclusive. We don’t just want businesses that can afford to advertise, we want everyone to participate. Advertising your business or event on OurFernie will always be free.

We want to expand Fernie’s marketing reach. Having the most complete and relevant online content will surely help, but we also operate a telephone information service, as well as comprehensive vacation booking services.

We want people to know why Fernie is a such a great place to visit. We encourage anyone to submit their stories, photos, blogs, reviews and even rants. Everyone has a voice on OurFernie.

Oh yeah... we’re a co-operative. This means that if you want to, you can become a member and have an equal say in what we do. People win, not $’s.

So, what’s in it for us? Well, nothing if you don’t own rental property!

For those lucky people that do own rental property, we can find people to stay in it, and will charge you a 10% commission whenever we do. Sound fair?”
