Spectacular Views, Ski in/Ski out, 3 Bedroom

Pia's home was perfect for our family. Booking the property was very easy and Pia was very helpful during the process. The home was perfectly clean and suited our needs to a T.

The home has everything you need and then more!

I would definitely recommend Pia's home to anyone traveling to Whistler and if I am ever back there, I will definitely contact Pia! Thanks again for hosting us!

We were here in the summer. This place is outstanding. It's a large condo with 3 good size bedrooms and 2 good size bathrooms. Everything is clean and up-to-date. Comfortable living room, large refrigerator, fully stocked kitchen, etc., etc.. Location is great as long as you don't want to be right in the village. There's a beautiful view over the valley and mountains.

My only negative comment is that the process of confirming the reservation through DirectVacations was more complex than I would have liked. I did not have easy phone access, so getting in touch with the owner an making arrangements was a little tougher than I'm used to. However, that is not a reflection on the owner or the condo, both of which were really outstanding.

We stayed here for Ironman Canada weekend as a family of four with grandparents in tow. The property has tons of space, is well equipped and it's in a great little development. It is secure and the access for loading / unloading gear is perfect. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the event in such a peaceful location and having such epic views made for really relaxing race prep. The local amenities in Creekside are a drive away so be sure to stock up on your way.

I can hardly wait to come back. The views are fantastic. The kitchen has everything we needed. The extra parking was a bit help for our group. The owners responded quickly to our questions. The dining room table is large and comfortable.

This was a very modern and clean condo in a great location with an easy walk to skiing. The slope you can access is the Dave Murray Downhill, which is quite steep so if anyone in your group is not a strong skier, then you should not count on skiing this one to return to the condo. Instead you'd need to arrange transportation to get back because there is no free shuttle to this location. But for good skiers, this location can't be beat. I would highly recommend renting from Pia as she was super helpful, responsive and very accommodating. The beds were comfortable with luxurious linens that you rarely find in a rental. The kitchen was well equipped with spices and even plastic wrap. Thanks for a great stay!

My only complaint has nothing to do with this condo, but I would not recommend buying the lift tickets through the Alluradirect.com website because they messed up my tickets and it took 45 minutes with guest services to get it straightened out (although my friend had problems booking hers through whistler.com so maybe all of the sites are problematic).

** Note from alluraDirect: We have no record of any support issue relating on lift ticket order #28008 placed on March 11th **

This is a very nice property and presents just as pictured. The owners were very responsive to inquiries and questions. Having searched many properties for our vacation purposes, I have to say that this is a very good value given the quality and size of the property in comparison to others that I looked at which appeared to be of comparable quality. The kitchen was very well furnished for just about any type of meal preparation you would want to undertake.

The book in the unit provided lots of helpful information regarding amenities as well as recommendations for activities and restaurants. This property is on the Creekside location as opposed to the Whistler Village, so if you are looking for the activity of the Village and walkability, this may not be the place! We enjoyed the quiet and serenity and the beautiful views from the condo. There is no direct bus access from the unit, but it was easy to get a cab to the village for about $10.00 each way. You can park down at Creekside and take a bus, but if there are a few of you a cab is the best bet because the bus is $2.50 per person.

Another plus to this unit is the availability of parking. We had a rental car and had another couple come up from Vancouver with their vehicle and their was plenty of parking, which I had noticed was not the case with other units I looked at. The ski in-ski out is just a short walk and easy to navigate.

The map shows that the access run is a black run, but don't be intimidated by that....it was groomed everyday we were there and a strong beginner should be able to do it. Overall, I would highly recommend this unit and the interactions with the owners.

The condo is beautiful and very large. Kitchen is full-featured with everything you could need and the gas fireplace in the lounge is a great place to relax with a glass of wine after a day on the hill.

This property was very accurately described and met or exceeded all our expectations. The communication from the owners was superior as reminders were sent and there was a personal follow-up email making sure that everything was to our satisfaction upon arrival.

The condo is beautifully equipped and seemed spacious with 6 of us staying there. The heated tile floors in the kitchen were great and the view from the living room was fantastic. The hot tub was a 2 minute walk from the condo and each day after skiing we met new folks there who were enjoying the mountain as we were.

Whistler Backcomb is an awesome mountain with excellent facilities and service. If you're used skiing Colorado/Utah however, you need to visit understanding that you are going to a coastal climate and the weather conditions vary throughout the day and depending on where you're at on the mountain. Snow conditions are also completely variable. I have spent 10 days skiing Whistler on 2 separate trips and have yet to experience something other than soft wet snow on the bottom of the mountain. That is the reality of skiing Whistler - spring conditions on part of the mountain year round. Staying in the higher elevations is the solution to this but the downside is I don't feel I have truly experienced the lower half of the mountain. Once you wrap your head around this and go with the flow you'll have an amazing trip.

We'll be back and hope to stay in this property again.

We had our fist ever white Christmas at Whistler and loved staying at The Bluffs. It is a beautiful apartment with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms with welcoming touches like toiletries and candles for atmosphere... I could go in... And I have saved the best for last.... The view is just to die for- especially for travelers like us who rarely see snow! We could watch the clouds drifting through the valley and catch the glint of the sun on the peaks from our balcony and living room windows. Just magical! It snowed all but Christmas Day which for us was just amazing.

We felt private enough to be able to sleep with our curtains open so we could wake to the sight of snow falling and the complex is whisper quiet. The hot tub is hot and the view from there spectacular as well. Though it is a ski in ski out property we were unable to take advantage of this - not being skiers! - but we did note where it is and imagine it would be great if you could ski!!

We walked to the bus stop in the snow on a few occasions and rode that to Whistler, Creekside and Function Junction. Taxis were an added cost for us as we did not have a car - I think a car would be an advantage but we didn't find it much of an inconvenience and the cost of taxis was less than it would have been to hire a vehicle. For travellers or holiday makers who appreciate lovely surroundings, beautiful views, privacy and quiet, this is a great place to stay. If you like to be away from it all, this is your place!

Pia and Mel even added Christmas decorations including lights at the entrance that added to the magic of our visit. The chocolates and card on arrival, the snowman candles and Christmas themed napery and decorations throughout the home were lovely touches. Thank you! We would highly recommend staying here and if our daughter is still in Canada in the future, we will certainly have this at the top of our list.

The only recommendation I could make is to provide an iPod dock or speaker system to enable us to play our music. While we could play CDs, we don't travel with them - or if I was to return I would bring a portable speaker with me. A small thing that doesn't detract in any way!

We stayed in this unit the end of June beginning of July, 2015. It was terrific! The unit was clean, comfortable, well equipped and easy to find. The view was spectacular and wonderful to wake up to each day. The owners were responsive and welcoming.

There was a heat wave in Whistler when we were there and there was a fan available in every room. I would suggest folks closing the blinds in the dinning and living room before leaving for the day, as the afternoon sun can warm the place up a bit. Overall, as wonderful, wonderful stay! We were sorry to leave and are planning our return visit!

2nd time staying here. Excellent experience. Very clean and easy access to the slopes. Will definitely book again in the future.
