GUEST FEEDBACK:

 

Thank you for allowing us access to your loveliest of accommodations. So homey, comfy, and replete with ambience. This was our first trip to Whistler. We had the most wonderful time and experienced the best ski conditions. Paulette from Toronto

Your home is beautiful. It was warm, cozy, and more. What a great location – close to the slopes and bus stop. Our family had a great time sharing this vacation - our first ski holiday away from home. We will take many warm memories with us. Cindy from California

You have a very cozy home to stay in. The snow at the top of the mountain was terrific! The hot tub was a special treat after a day on the mountains. Thanks for sharing. Jeff from Houston, Texas

Thank you for our comfortable home to relax in and enjoy each other. We loved the board games. Frances from Orlando, Florida

 Local Tips

 About Us

We live in Vancouver, BC. We are the original owners of our Mountain Star home and have been renting it to guests since 1998. We spend as much time here as we can, and our sons and their families enjoy spending time here also. In the summer we love to hike, ride bikes and ride the Zip Line. In the winter we ski, both down hill and cross country. We hope you'll love Whistler as much as we do!
