Guest comments:

• This is my second season here for the holidays and it feels great to be back. Awesome location on blackcomb slopes for the kids to toboggan; a skip down to the bus stop with shuttles into whistler village; and yet a great and quiet place to be at the end of a long and sometimes crowded day on the slopes or in the village - nice to come home, so to speak.  March 2011
  
• The place was great, thanks. A very successful chunk of work and play! It was much more accessible to the slopes than it might appear from the map - an easy one-minute walk. The master bedroom is splendid! Thanks again, I hope to rent from you again one day.  Richard Vaughan, Vancouver
•  We had a magical time and the comfort of your place was one of the components. Staying at Morning Star Townhouse was very comfortable and afforded us access to the full spectrum of activities available in Whistler with the additional comfort and versatility of being in "our own" place. We enjoyed being able to hang out together in the morning and evening and use the hot tub at the end of each very full physical day. Bess-Catherine McCord, Jan '10
• What a perfect place to retreat to after a long day of adventure. The view out of every window is extraordinary. Comfortable, clean, quiet, convenient... very very happy with the arrangement. The private, secluded hot-tub was priceless for tired muscles. Thanks again, Russ July 2010
• Your place was PERFECT for our mountain biking activities. We all felt like we were at home and very happy to be there. Especially the master bedroom, it was amazing. It was very quiet, so it was very peaceful for us to relax. And the transportation was easy, we could get to the village convieniently and safely. I would definitely stay at your place again. Thank you so much. Mary, May 2010

 Location & Map

Location

Mountain Star is perched high on Blackcomb Mountain and is adjacent to the Marriott.  It's set amongst the pines in a secluded and peaceful location but only minutes from the base of both mountains via the free shuttle bus. Just steps away from the Lower Cruiser Run and down to the Wizard chair and within walking distance of the Tube Park.  It's also close to the new Olympic Sliding centre. 

Walking distance to the base of Blackcomb is around 10 minutes down the slope.

You can also see just how close we are to the slopes and the base of Blackcomb by going onto Google maps - just search for 4894 Painted Cliff Road, Whistler - we're at the very top next to the slopes (where you see the little circle in the road layout).
