A wonderful holiday !
Mark from Bayswater, Australia
Date: Jan-21-2015 for a stay in Jan 2015
Absolutely fabulous. The condo was great and looks just like the photos online. We arrived in early evening after a long drive from Vancouver with heavy snowfall, so when we opened the door to the condo we were able to relax with some food a complimentary bottle of wine - Thanks ! The hot tub was fantastic which we used every evening and the views to the mountains were ideal. We were very happy. Excellent facilities.

Excellent!
Yoshie from Vancouver, Canada
Date: Jan-01-2015 for a stay in Dec 2014
Great spacious room. Very clean. Has everything you need; kitchen appliances, bathroom goods, games, video games etc. Loved the private jacuzzi where you can enjoy the view of Happy Valley and we could also enjoy fireworks from there! I thought it was great for 4 ppl, space wise. Only sometimes, the footstep and the music from above room bothered me when I was in the living room. The bed was a bit small for us...also the cushion was not so good. I used master room, but as the bed was too close to the door, I banged my toe/shin a lot during the night. I wanted to hang my wet towel or bathing suits somewhere (outside of the closet) to dry in the bedroom, but there was no place to do that. Loved the steam in the bathroom. Easy access to the gondola and the lodge where you can enjoy food/drink. Secure number-lock system. Email response was very prompt and informative. All in all, our stay was perfect! I'll strongly recommend this place. Great holiday gate away:)

Best vacation rental we've ever had
Kane from CA
Date: Mar-22-2014
We've probably rented over 100 places in about 15 countries from sites like Flipkey, Airbnb, Booking.com, etc. This condo at The Raven is amazingly well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some (even a garlic press). The private hottub was awesome. The Nintendo Wii was a lot of fun too. The keyless entry system for the entire building was so convenient when we had friends visiting. Our only complaint would be that the bed sheets weren't the softest, felt too much like what you'd expect in a hospital ;)
Great stay!!
A FlipKey verified reviewer from San Diego
Date: Mar-19-2014
We have stayed in hundreds of vacation rentals and can honestly say that the Raven is in our top 5 worldwide. We were lucky enough to stay here for 2 1/2 months, and couldn't have been happier. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with high quality appliances. Everything you will need is there to make a great meal. The beds and bedding were comfortable. We loved having a steam shower in the master bath. The Wii and hot tub were two of our favorite amenities, a great way to relax after a day on the mountain. We stayed in both #209 & #309, both were fantastic. Other pros: We loved the cork flooring, which was always warm. The sinks were also very cool and pretty. We loved having a washer/dryer in unit and underground heated parking. The keyless entry was very convenient. It is a short 3-5 minute walk to the free Gondola which takes you up to the village, and then you can fully snowboard/ski home. Cons: It can be a bit noisy with neighbors overhead. Great stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking in Big White.
Peace of mind!

Great Family Ski Trip !
A FlipKey verified reviewer from Vancouver
Date: Jan-25-2011
We enjoyed our stay at Raven. Easy to find and comfortable accommodation. We did find the condo too hot at night even with windows open. Lighting over the dining table was too harsh, could use a dimmer bulb or install dimmer switch. There were candles but no matches and we don't smoke so had none either. Would have preferred to know that there was no basic food provided, (maybe I missed that message). Have rented other places that have some sugar, oil & vinegar, tea, coffee and long life milk. Would have liked a map to show us how to ski back to the cabin. Don't take my suggestions too seriously, we really enjoyed the place and were fortunate to have good snow conditions and sunny weather! Many thanks!
