Welcome to our Vacation Rental! 100% Recommended 80 Reviews
Northstar at Stony Creek is renowned for its convenient, quiet location just across the road from all the amenities at the Marketplace in Whistler Village North. Northstar is also very close to the amazing Valley Trail System. Walk, run, or bike starting from your front door. Our unit's fireplace and the large year-round heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub offer a relaxing end to an active day. Use the provided concierge services to easily arrange all your activities.
Unit 113 is a particularly nice example of a 2-bedroom Northstar townhome. Its two story layout separates the main sleeping areas from the living room, dining room, and kitchen. This offers guests the flexibility of enjoying the common areas downstairs without disturbing others sleeping upstairs on the unit's cozy, premium bedding.

The apartment is in a great location, a couple of minutes from Highway 99 and very close to the main shopping area in Whistler, including a supermarket and liquor store. The apartment itself is very well equipped and has a great homely feeling. The beds are comfy, the WIFI is fast and reliable and all in all it is a great place to have a wonderful vacation. Whistler has lots of great things to do and nice places to eat.

Julia from Abbotsford, Canada
Date: Dec-07-2015 for a stay in Dec 2015
My husband and I went for a few days and stayed in this condo. It was perfect for us! It was tidy and clean when we arrived. The decorations make the place look nice. It had everything we needed. We only went out for one meal during our entire stay and everything else was cooked in the condo. The jacuzzi tub was also very relaxing!
The location was also great. It's just across from the IGA and the North Village. We liked where it was because it wasn't too noisy but it was still close to everything. We walked around the villages (there's no need to drive) and even the walk to the Upper Village was not far.
The complex pool and hot tub were perfectly heated and we enjoyed them. They are so close that you don't even need to bundle up to get there.
Booking, contact with Nancy, checking in and out - all was easy and went well.

Comfortable bright condo, great location
Rachel from North Vancouver, Canada
Date: Nov-02-2015 for a stay in Oct 2015
We very much enjoyed our stay at this condo for 3 nights.
It is nice an bright and in a perfect location only steps away from a grocery store and the village (newer part). Check-in was quick and the owner allowed us to check in early which very appreciated. The condo was very clean and all the beds were comfortable. We had some issues with the TV and the owner was in touch quickly to try to resolve the problem. Try the Royal India restaurant for Indian food for lunch and Araxia for dinner. Delicious! Thanks for the great stay! We have already recommended it to friends and we will be back! RGView Full Review

Unit 1** - Stony Creek North Star Review
Michael from Victoria, Canada
Date: Aug-18-2015 for a stay in Aug 2015
The condominium was clean with a well designed layout...close to all amenities including a swimming pool which came in very handy during the plus 30 degree Celsius weather my son and I experienced during our stay. As an added bonus (at least for my son), there was an Xbox 360 with a good selection of games. I plan on booking here again for next summer and would highly recommend staying here to anyone else.

Good value
Jodie from Maidens, United States
Date: Jun-30-2015 for a stay in Jun 2015
Cleaning crew could do a better job. Some dirty dishes, dirty coffee pot, food stuck to table on deck. Nice condo in good location, but the lack of air conditioning killed us as it was 90 degrees F while we were there. Could find no instructions on how to operate DVD player?? Overall, good value.

Fully stocked and location, location, location!
Maribeth from Brielle, United States
Date: Jun-15-2015 for a stay in Jun 2015
My husband,our two adult children (25 and 21) and I spent three nights in Whistler and appreciated this unit more and more each day. New to the town, we had no idea how convenient the location was until we oriented ourselves the second day. We then realized we had the benefits of a quiet unit away from the busy Village properties, with a beautiful pool to enjoy and underground parking....but we were also within a 2-5 minute walk to the IGA supermarket, Starbucks and a playground (which we clearly didn't need at our kids' ages...but it's a beautiful one!) and we were within 10-12 minutes from any and everything in the Village!
My husband is a VERY picky traveler and I was actually nervous that we were not staying in a high end hotel, but he proclaimed the unit perfect for our needs, with everything we could want....and even raved about the linens. Now that's a first!
The set up was perfect for us. It was sort of fun to see our 21 and 25 year old lying in bunk beds talking at night. Even though we ate every meal out but one......we could easily have cooked and dined at home for every meal. This unit is stocked to the brim with every single thing you could ever need. And I loved being able to do two small loads of laundry.
Each morning I drank my coffee on the balcony and enjoyed Blackcomb in the distance. The lack of air conditioning in the two destinations we visited....Vancouver and Whistler....was an adjustment for this 50-something woman, but we hit both locales during an unseasonably warm period in June. Luckily both bedrooms had movable fans that did the trick for us. I admire how people are not as reliant on A/C in BC as we are at the New Jersey shore!
Thanks for a great value, a clean and comfortable unit and a wonderful introduction to the gorgeous Whistler area!

Joan from North Vancouver, Canada
Date: May-08-2015 for a stay in May 2015
Thank you Nancy & John - a perfect unit & we had a wonderful time! We are seniors & we spent 3 nights in this great condo celebrating a special birthday. The unit was absolutely perfect for our needs. We did cook a few meals & the kitchen was beautifully equiped to produce some gourmet meals. The condo was so centrally located- handy to everything. Our weather was fabulous & we were able to enjoy drinks outside on the balcony. We found the condo cozy, relaxing & we particularly appreciated the separation of living & sleeping quarters on two floors. The information given to us prior to our arrival was extremely informative & very helpful. We wouldn't hesitateto recommend this great condo & we do hope to return again. Thank you. Joan Rogers

Sandra from Yelm, United States

This vacation home is in a perfect location. Close to the ski bus, the stores and restaurants, the playground and almost anything you need. Checking in and out was very easy and everyone was responsive to any requests we made. It was much cleaner and in great condition compared to other units we have stayed in at Whistler. Nancy is a pleasure to deal with and we would stay here again without hesitation.

Perfect Layout and Location!!
toni from delta, Canada
Date: Mar-27-2015 for a stay in Mar 2015
We just spent 3 nights in Whistler and this property was the perfect layout for teens and adults with the two levels. The condo had everything you would need to have a home away from home which was great!! The beds were super comfortable with nice linens. The location was superb with everything within walking distance, and the free shuttle right out our door. The pool and hot tub was also a nice addition!!
We will surely use this property again when visiting Whistler in the future. Thanks again Nancy!!

Great Place to Stay
greg from Frankfort, United States
Date: Mar-01-2015 for a stay in Feb 2015
The rental was very clean and we enjoyed the amenities. The rental had CD's, DVD's, coffee filters, cooking spices and enough soap and shampoo. The beds were extremely comfortable as that seems to be my biggest complaint about rentals. The rental was perfect for the 4 of us but may be a little cramped for 6 or more as the living and dining room were a bit small. The location of the Rental was fantastic. 100 meters from both Marketplace Square and the bus stop and right next to the clubhouse pool and hot tub. Less than a 10 minute walk into the Village center. We highly recommend staying here and would do so again.

An absolute pleasure!
Vanessa from Vancouver, Canada
Date: Feb-23-2015 for a stay in Feb 2015
It was an absolute pleasure staying at this property. It was incredibly easy to organize and Nancy was very quick to reply to any questions. Prior to our arrival Nancy also initiated email contact asking if we had any last minute questions and reminding us what we needed to bring (the check-in documents which I would have otherwise forgotten!). This was very much appreciated. The check-in process was very straightforward, as was check-out.
The accommodations were in impeccable condition. The place is incredibly neat and tidy though still feels like a home rather than a hotel. There are loads of books and games, including an XBox (with some games provided). The beds are all very comfortable with soft, fluffy duvets and crisp sheets. (We didn't require the fold-out sofa bed so I can't comment on that).
The location is very convenient. It is possible to walk to the gondola's and chairs (approx 20-25min), but there's also a free shuttle bus which leaves from right across the road. For groceries, there's a large IGA also across the road. Bars and pubs are a minimum 5 minute walk away which means that the stay will be quiet! I would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Lots of little extras; movies, music, dishes etc. The layout was really ideal as was the proximity to the grocery store. We had 5 in our party and 2 additional for dinner 2 nights and were very compfortable.

Our family of five enjoyed our time at your condo! It had everything we needed and more. The location was great and was easy to access the village. Maybe you could make note that there are fans in the closet - found it on the last day. The master bed was very comfortable. Thank you for a place to make wonderful family memories and we will look for your condo again when planning a vacation!

Great Whistler Condo

Both the process (reservation, check-in/out, etc) and the facility (condo, parking, etc), were top notch. The location is great, as it is in Whistler Village near the IGA grocery store and Whistler Olympic Plaza. Walking and biking trails are nearby. Highly recommended!

Loved this place! Felt very homey and cosy. There was lots of room for myself and 4 friends to share. Room was stocked with all the amenities and supplies we needed for our stay. Loved the pool and hot tub.

This is our third year coming to this apartment. And it has never failed us. Check in took 3 minutes, we had to solve a problem that they forgot to give us a key to the garage but was solved within 10 minutes. Place is very conveniently located near stores and restaurants. The pool and hot tub are very nice after a long day skiiing. And the apartment is clean, spacious and fulfills all our needs. The kitchen is fully stocked and we made our own meals. And we love to have washer and dryer after the kids came back dirty and wet after their ski lessons. I think the only downside is that the snow removal trucks make a lot of noise in the middle of the night. But that is just because we aren't used to noise at night.
Comfortable, good location, had everything we needed

My husband and I went for a few days and stayed in this condo. It was perfect for us! It was tidy and clean when we arrived. The decorations make the place look nice. It had everything we needed. We only went out for one meal during our entire stay and everything else was cooked in the condo. The jacuzzi tub was also very relaxing! The location was also great. It's just across from the IGA and the North Village. We liked where it was because it wasn't too noisy but it was still close to everything. We walked around the villages (there's no need to drive) and even the walk to the Upper Village was not far. The complex pool and hot tub were perfectly heated and we enjoyed them. They are so close that you don't even need to bundle up to get there. Booking, Contact with Nancy, checking in and out - all was easy and went well.
Great Location - Great Price

We stayed in this townhouse for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being a family of 7, we appreciated that there was lots of room with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, washer/dryer and a fully stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved that there was a heated pool to play in, even in the rain. We have stayed in Whistler a number of times, and the proximity of this townhouse to the village was definitely a bonus. It was easy to run across the street for groceries, take a stroll through the village or play at the playground. There were also lots of trails for biking and walking, which we also enjoyed. Another positive was the free parking and storage for bikes. The only negative was that the checkout time was 10am, which is quite early. We would stay here again in the future.
Comfy townhouse in great location

This is a family-friendly townhouse in my favorite part of Whistler - very near the IGA for quick marketing, within easy walks to 'happenings,' yet away from the noise. Kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, and plenty of spices. Lots of fluffy towels. Easy check-in, and when I left a valuable item behind, the front desk happily arranged to have it sent back to me. Owners have helpfully left a notebook of things to do in the area, with a short note on the "character" of local bars and pubs. Has a bath with shower just inside entry, great for after muddy mountain biking. Would use again!

Just wanted to write a review to advertise a great place to stay as well to thank the owners of the North Star 113. The place was in a great location. Can just park your car under the safe unground parking and walk every where...your that close. Clean places are important to me and the condo was well kept. Had all necessary items you need. Thank you for sharing your vacation home. I hope to come back again. I know it must be a worry each time you rent it out that people will care and appreciate it like you do. Your price is excellent and affordable for myself and my teen kids. Its hard to find anything in Whistler that is well priced, so thanks. I would have gave you 5 stars but we did have one issue...plumbing in shower and tub were slow and needed attention as well as the flushing of toilets. I'm sure this will be taken care of. Comfy beds! Cheers

Thank you for your kind words. We are looking into improving the toilets as they are of a bad design.

We spent 3 nights at this condo (with visitors from Ontario) and had a really great time. The owner Nancy has stocked the place with everything you need, right down to laundry detergent and steak spices/rubs! She is also very helpful with any assistance you need, and responds to emails in a jiffy! Check-in was conveniently located (just up the street), and a breeze. The last time I stayed at Northstar (a different unit), our check-in was in Blackcomb and was a nightmare...took us well over an hour to find the place/check-in/drive to condo. The location of #113 within the complex is perfect. It's on the first floor and a few seconds way from the driveway, pool, and garbage room. The Northstar complex is also very conveniently located; right across from Market Place, with Olympic Plaza and Village Stroll just beyond...you're so close to everything, yet away from the hustle and bustle of MP, OP and VS. The heated pool and hot tub are perfect to relax in after a day on the mountain or in the village. More about the owner, and Whistler Reception who handle bookings. My daughter left behind her ipod. I sent a message to Nancy that night telling her where we thought it would be. She responded the next morning saying she had informed the new guests and Whistler Reception. Yesterday I got a message saying the ipod has been found, and arrangements are being made to mail it to me! How's that for service!!

Thank you so very much for this review! We try to treat our guests as how we would like to be treated! No reason not too!

My husband,our two adult children (25 and 21) and I spent three nights in Whistler and appreciated this unit more and more each day. New to the town, we had no idea how convenient the location was until we oriented ourselves the second day. We then realized we had the benefits of a quiet unit away from the busy Village properties, with a beautiful pool to enjoy and underground parking....but we were also within a 2-5 minute walk to the IGA supermarket, Starbucks and a playground (which we clearly didn't need at our kids' ages...but it's a beautiful one!) and we were within 10-12 minutes from any and everything in the Village! My husband is a VERY picky traveler and I was actually nervous that we were not staying in a high end hotel, but he proclaimed the unit perfect for our needs, with everything we could want....and even raved about the linens. Now that's a first! The set up was perfect for us. It was sort of fun to see our 21 and 25 year old lying in bunk beds talking at night. Even though we ate every meal out but one......we could easily have cooked and dined at home for every meal. This unit is stocked to the brim with every single thing you could ever need. And I loved being able to do two small loads of laundry. Each morning I drank my coffee on the balcony and enjoyed Blackcomb in the distance. The lack of air conditioning in the two destinations we visited....Vancouver and Whistler....was an adjustment for this 50-something woman, but we hit both locales during an unseasonably warm period in June. Luckily both bedrooms had movable fans that did the trick for us. I admire how people are not as reliant on A/C in BC as we are at the New Jersey shore! Thanks for a great value, a clean and comfortable unit and a wonderful introduction to the gorgeous Whistler area!

We just spent 3 nights in Whistler and this property was the perfect layout for teens and adults with the two levels. The condo had everything you would need to have a home away from home which was great!! The beds were super comfortable with nice linens. The location was superb with everything within walking distance, and the free shuttle right out our door. The pool and hot tub was also a nice addition!!

My family and I spent six nights at 113 Northstar at Whistler and had a perfect time there. Nancy, the owner, is very kind and answered all my questions promptly. First of all we were granted an early check in as requested and it was so good because we´ve been travelling very long hours. The appartment is very clean, confortable, fully equipped, has plenty of space and we felt at home. It is a 10 minute walk from the gondolas which is not a big deal considering you have other facilities such as the market just across the street. We are already looking foward to come back and highly recomend this condo.

Northstar 113 was a great place for our family’s Whistler ski vacation. You can’t beat the location – right across from the village and steps away from the free shuttle that takes you to the lifts. The convenience of being near the village, but without the evening noise. And I just have to tell you about the bed – it was so comfortable! Usually my bad back drives me out of bed before I am ready, but I could have stayed in that cozy bed all day long! The kitchen was very well appointed, although I admit that we went out for dinner every night. I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I stayed here with another couple for 3 nights. The four of us have visited many ski resort properties over the years, and this accommodation is one of the best we have tried. It is cozy and comfortable, with very nice furnishings, great beds, and all amenities. It has one of the best-stocked kitchens we have found. We loved that there was a huge stock of fluffy towels, lots of pillows, nice bedding, and lots of space in the living, dining, and bedroom areas, as well as two full bathrooms. We used the ski shuttle just across the street and found everything to be easily accessible. We are definitely planning on staying here again.

We stayed at this Whistler property for 3 nights prior to our Vancouver holiday. 6 Adults stayed in the unit and there was definitely enough space for all of us. The location was excellent as we didn't require our vehicle once we arrived. The unit contained all necessary utensils/dishes for meal preparation with enough dishes & cutlery for a few meals. I would definitely consider staying at this property again - the bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable.
Great for Family Vacation
Family_from_WA from Spokane, Washington
Date: Jul-16-2014
This condo was clean, well-equipped and comfortable- just what this family of 4 needed to have a comfortable home base during our stay in Whistler. The supermarket is just across the street, and just beyond is Olympic Park and Whistler Village. I absolutely recommend this condo, and would stay here again when and if we return to Whistler. The photos and listing are accurate. The owner was very prompt in returning emails. We were there during a heat wave, and despite no A/C (which is normal for Whistler lodging), we made the best of it with trips to the pool, and Alta Lake (Discovery Beach for SUP boarding and swimming, Rainbow Park for volleyball and swimming), and Cheakamus Lake (great hike or mtn bike ride for all ages, with a great reward at the end- a dunk in refreshing water). My son enjoyed playing Xbox, and we watched the World Cup finals.
Affordable family accommodation near the village
Sabby1554 from Surrey, Canada
Date: Jul-03-2014
The townhome was spacious and had everything we needed. PROS: right across from IGA for groceries, 3 minute walk to the playground in the village, free underground parking and bike storage, large pool and hot tub, very affordable. CONS: lock on downstairs bathroom did not work, no screens on any windows so we had wasps coming in (we had to keep the windows open all night during +30 weather and my husband got stung), no gas bbq (description stated a propane bbq but when we arrived there was an electric one which could not cook meat thoroughly so we had to transfer to the stove/oven to cook - disappointing after spending $$$ on steaks). Suggest getting blackout curtains to keep out the early morning sunlight and to keep the townhome cooler in the summer months. Owners have very good communication and the checkin/checkout process is a breeze!
Owner Response
Thank you for calling attention to some issues. Maintenance has been called to fix the door lock. We just had new blinds installed throughout. The complex units don't have screens. New electric grill recently installed and owner forgot to update listing. Now updated.

This townhouse is in the perfect location. The shops and grocery store are right across the street. We didn't use our vehicle even once in 3 days! Another added bonus is that the bedrooms are on the second floor, so our children were able to take a nap without being disturbed. The townhouse was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. I highly recommend staying here.

What a wonderful place to stay, check in was smooth and the condo was easy to find. It's close to the heated pool, parking and the heart of Whistler Village. The grocery store is 2 mins away, which was perfect. The condo was very well stocked with kitchen supplies, like a good knife, coffee bodum, dish soap etc. There is even a washer & dryer, which with small children makes life so much easier. The bedding was very comfortable and everything was spotless. Our family would definitely recommend this unit and hope to stay here on our next trip!
Great Vacation in Whistler!!
RJL64 from Port Washington, NY

My wife & I stayed at Nancy's condo in Whistler Village for a week with our teenage son and his friend and we all had a fabulous time! Nancy was extremely responsive and helpful, the condo is compact and nicely laid out to accommodate 4 adults... 7 adults would be very tight. The condo is nicely appointed and cozy with a fully stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, gas fireplace and included an xbox console & games & movies & music library. The location is well situated across the street from the main Marketplace and Olympic Village and a solid 10 minute walk to the Whistler & Blackcomb gondolas. The community pool & hot tub complex is 30 seconds away and includes changing rooms with showers, barely heated outdoor pool and a wonderfully heated and huge outdoor hot tub which we enjoyed every day!! The weekly rate we paid during a prime vacation week (US President's Day holiday) was a fair value. As mentioned by some other reviewers about the condo complex I do have to agree that the walls are a tad thin so interior & exterior sounds are a bit more than I'd like and the bedroom blinds do not block out the community path and pool lights so our room never got darker than "morning"... However, weighing the pros & cons we would seriously consider staying here again and really had a fabulous vacation!!
Great Condo with all a family could need
RRobyn2014 from Sydney, Australia
Date: Feb-07-2014
This condo is great for groups visiting whistler, especially for families who need kitchen amenities and stay in at night. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and even basics such as oil, sugar and tea, which makes arrival all the more easier. The only improvement I would suggest is for the TV selection to be broadened to include some sport channels. Travelling from Australia we like to enjoy and get into the local sports and found this difficult with only the basic tv channels.
Great town home with an even greater location!
Jules P from Seattle, Washington, United States
Date: Dec-09-2013
Great town home! The location was perfect! Great walking distance to everything. It's about a 2min walk to the Market and the main village stroll where you can find a plethora of eateries, shops, and bars. You really can't beat the location. We were even able to see a firework show coming from the village from our windows. The great part is that even though it's so close to the main part of town the unit it-self is far removed from the hustle and bustle. The townhome is very intimate, cozy, and had great views. It's away from any major roads and located near the inner part of the complex. You’re surrounded by trees, other townhomes, and amazing view of Blackcomb. Perfect place for a party of 6-7 people. A friend who was supposed to bring the board games couldn't make it one night but luckily the place already came stocked with movies and games (it's stocked but I would still suggest also bringing your own games and movies). The place also had an Xbox…we never used it but it was nice it was there. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the basic kitchen amenities. If you want a relaxing and fun weekend with your friends and family this is a great place. If you’re planning on getting rowdy I would suggest looking somewhere else. There’s a strict noise ordinance starting at 10pm. Other plusses: Very clean! Spacious Kitchen was fully equipped Beds were comfortable Cozy They provided us with lots of towels Parking available (one spot dedicated the unit) Things to know: I don’t know if we were supposed to bring this or it should have come stocked with the place, but I would suggest making sure to bring paper towels and trash linings. Other than that the facility has everything you need as far as cleaning.
I will be back :)

The condo was exactly as advertised. Neat, clean, well-appointed. The location was perfect as far as we were concerned. Close enough to walk to shopping, restaurants and night clubs...well just far enough away not to hear them. The condo has access to a heated pool and hot tub...and right across the street from the market. I love visiting Whistler and will use this place again and again :).

My husband, son (4yrs) and I stayed 4 delightful nights and were joined for two of those nights by my parents, brother and niece (5yrs). The accommodations fit our family perfectly. You can't beat the location, as it's directly across the street from Marketplace, with all its convenience of the grocery store and Starbucks (to name a few), but very helpful to have the children's play area and the Olympic plaza at our fingertips (a 2 minute walk). We have rented several units at Stoney Creek in recent years and no unit compares to how well it is maintained (VERY CLEAN) and the amenities that are provided and thought of for renters. The owners have done a wonderful job of making you feel at home with all the simple touches provided; a well-stocked kitchen, abundance of bath towels and linens, additional shampoo and soaps. They were also extremely communicative and helpful in ensuring our stay was a pleasant one! Nancy even emailed me personally the week before, asking if there were any last-minute questions we had. Have never received that from any other owner, previously. It shows they take pride in their unit and want their renters to enjoy it as well! WELL DONE!!!

Stayed during the week of Crankworxx. The location is perfect. Close enough to walk everywhere, but quiet enough to get a good rest. The unit was clean and nicely laid out. The kids loved the pool.

Great place to stay for a family with three teenagers. The townhouse was cozy and had all the comforts of home. There were plenty of towels, sheets, blankets, games and DVDs. The location is very close to all the amenities - you can easily walk there and leave your car parked in the convenient underground parking lot. The community pool and hot tub were never too crowded and very well maintained. The staff at reception were extremely accommodating. Nancy, the owner, is exceptionally prompt and pleasant to deal with. Will definitely stay here again!

Sean V from Camas, Washington, United States

We've stayed in Whistler quite a few times both summer and winter. This one was our favorite summer unit so far and would be great in winter as well. It's right on the edge of the village and prefectly located for all the activities throughout the Whistler Valley. You have to walk through the village to get to the lifts though but it's not a big deal and probably one of the closest places to the market and liquor store. Has the feel of being in the village but not some of the negatives that come with staying right on the main village walk. The unit is really well prepped and all the amenities we could want were provided. Things like gaming system and games, a ton of CD's and movies for down time. The pool and hot tub are right there but not too close. Our family had a great time and we definitly would recomend staying here again. Hope to return in the future.
Home away from home
DES2830 from CanberraAustralia
Date: Jul-07-2013
There are many units at Northstar, we stayed in apartment 113 Northstar which is great. It has everything that you could need plus a great location, away from the highway so it is quiet in the apartment, close to the supermarket and everything is within easy walking distance. It was more like staying at a friends home than a rental - there are many little extras included, not just a bare room. Kitchen was fully equipped with more than usually supplied, including ample crockery/cutlery, herbs/spices, coffee, even sticky tape, post-it notes and pens all of which came in useful. Bedding and linen/towels were very good with separate towels supplied for pool use. It was quite hot (33+) during our stay so the fans supplied for the living area and both bedrooms were appreciated. The free wi-fi included in the rental helped with deciding which activities we would be doing each day and keeping in touch with family at home. The owners were excellent in their communication, from our initial enquiry, booking and supplying check in / check out details. I would recommend it as a great place to stay.
Fantastic apartment in a brilliant resort
JanetP552 from Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom
Date: Apr-22-2013
This was our first time in Whistler and it was fantastic. The location of the apartment couldn't have been better - it was walking distance from the main town and main ski lifts (and right opposite the bus stop for the free ski bus when we were too tired to walk!) There is a great supermarket directly opposite for those nights when we just didn't have the energy to eat out. The apartment is spacious, very clean and well equipped. We have 3 children and they all slept in the second bedroom with the younger two sharing the lower bunk double. The room is big enough to accommodate the 3 of them. The kitchen had everything we needed and the washing machine and dryer were really useful to keep on top of the washing. The owners have provided a selection of DVDs which was great for the kids as the ones we had brought with us didn't work in the DVD machine. The TV in the main bedroom was also a bonus when there was a disagreement on what to watch as there were some children's channels available. The communal swimming pool and hot tub was well used and very relaxing at the end of a long day. We had an excellent holiday in a resort that was so much better than the Alps - the ski runs are so quiet and the ski school second to none. We will definitely be back!

Great weekend at a great condo. The location was very convenient to the village, grocery store, and liquor store and the walk to the lift was quick. We arrived to find the condo extremely clean and well stocked with clean sheets, blankets, towels, soap, dishes, and everything else we'd need during our stay. The key-code lock was great for our party of 5 and prevented us from having to worry about losing a key on the slopes. To top it off the owner provided great communication before the trip and was readily available to answer any questions that popped up. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.
Snowboarding Trip to Whistler
Irwin S from Mill Creek, Washington
Date: Feb-26-2013
We were able to get into the town home a couple hours early of the check-in time. Which was awesome because it was snowing really hard and very cold when we got to Whistler (we weren't prepared yet for snowboarding as we plan on sight seeing on our first day, but need to change into our warmer clothing). It is in excellent condition with all the amenities we needed, especially the Wi-fi. There's also an x-box 360 if you're stuck inside the house due to injury or something. We have a total of 7 people for our trip, which fit and sleep comfortably during our 3 night stay. The kitchen have all the equipment you need to cook your own meals. Refrigerator is very decent size that you fill up when you go grocery shopping across the street. The 2 bedroom on the 2nd floor are very big sharing a roomy full bath with jet tub. There's also a full bathroom on the first floor. It has a gated underground parking space and just across the street, there's a super market and a few good places to eat. It's a 10 - 15 minute walk to the Whistler Gondola depending on which route you take. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay at Whistler.
Whistler family vacation

My husband and 11 year old son stayed in this suite for five nights. It comes stocked with the essentials (oil, balsamic, spices, foil, saran wrap, etc.), has a full flight of entertainment options (TV, DVD, xBox 360, traditional games, and more), comfortably seats 6 for dinner, 2 bathrooms (my son loved the jacuzzi jets in the tub), a light and relatively spacious living area, barbecue and deck. The facility has pool and hot tub - really close to the suite. The location is very central with grocery, liquor store almost across the street, and walking distance to everything Whistler and Blackcomb villages have to offer. Nancy - the property owner - was very responsive on the odd question or two I had. IThe suite is not appropriate for anyone that might have difficulty with stairs, but other than that I do recommend it.
Great Home Base for Exploring Whistler
T00ManyPlaces from Portland, Oregon
Date: Jul-27-2012
We spent a great week in Whistler with this condo as our home base. The location was perfect for getting around Whistler on foot. Having a grocery store (etc.) right across the street was very convenient. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and it was the best equipped rental kitchen I've stayed in! If you go, I would recommend the indian restaurant (very close by), Tandoori Grill. And I missed out but the rest of my family loved Dinky Dogs (delicious hot dogs with every imaginable (truly!) topping possible. Also, if you like museums, go to the Squamish Lil'Wat Cultural Centre and make sure to take the tour.

BOOK THIS UNIT if you're thinking of staying in Whistler!! Thanks to the Humbachers for providing us with a WONDERFUL place to stay during our Whistler getaway! The unit was very clean, quiet and comfortable. POOL: We didn't use the pool (just our luck it was the "coldest start to July in 23 years", believe it or not!) but it looked really nice and we would have definitely used it if the outdoor temps were warmer. LOCATION: We were close enough to Whistler Village and all it has to offer that our car didn't even move from the secured, underground parking spot the entire time we were there! IN-UNIT AMENITIES: The amenities in the unit were outstanding... * The washer/dryer allowed us to avoid packing dirty clothing in our suitcases despite having done a glacier walk and the Via Ferrata in the gushy snow! * The clean, comfortable, stocked kitchen to cook in saved us so much money vs. going to restaurants. * The balcony was nice for sitting outside in the cool mountain air. * We had no reason to use the heat or a/c since the outside temps kept it very comfortable in the unit, but it was nice to have fans in each bedroom to use at night. * Our kids (13 and 11) loved having access to the XBox/games/movies while my husband and I were out enjoying the Via Ferrata. * It was great to relax by the fireplace and play board games after our awesome, strenuous outings in the mountains. What hotel provides puzzles and board games?? * Easy key-code access - no keys to carry around! * While we were there, our kids said that it didn't even feel really like vacation at all. They said it felt like we were staying at a friend's house...and it did - it was home away from home! Truly, we wanted for nothing as the owners thought of everything we might need - right down to laundry baskets, an abundance of clean towels and pillows/blankets, spices, dinnerware, cooking utensils, dish soap, even ice cube trays, ziploc bags and aluminum foil! We experienced a few problems with the management company personnel (which is the ONLY reason that "customer service" & "key pickup/access" are the only two things that aren't rated 5 stars), but the maintenance tech was SUPER nice and the owners themselves were just wonderful to deal with. Our email communications with the owners left no questions unanswered and they were always more than pleasant. All in all, there's no question that we would definitely try to book this unit again should we return to Whistler. This was our first time ever having stayed in a vacation rental vs a hotel and it was such a great experience that we want to do this from now on whenever/wherever we travel! It truly was one of the best parts of our B.C. trip! :^)

We stayed in Northstar 113 for the Tough Mudder event and it was great! I was able to accommodate many of my team mates and not have to worry about many hotel rooms. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped.
Wonderfully-located, comfortable, spacious condo for a party of
Peripateticvancouver from 154943

We were a party of 6 with 4 adults and two children. We enjoyed the property, and would book again. The location and facility were great. The condo layout worked well with nice separation between sleeping areas and common space. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, and the bathrooms were very clean and spacious. The one negative was that the cleaners didn't vacuum the carpeted floors very well, as there was visible dirt and debris upon our arrival, and it was clear the condo had not been dusted. An empty beer box with several cigarette butts was also left on the balcony. Save for the few cleaning oversights, the place was great and enjoyed by all. Nancy, the owner of the condo, was incredibly attentive, helpful and friendly. It was a pleasure to deal with her.

Everything you need for a worry free vacation

The property was located right by the marketplace and the village. Everything was in walking distance, but if you didn't feel like walking to the gondolas, the shuttle bus was literally steps away! The property was fully stocked with everything you need so you didn't have to worry about running to the market for odds and ends (kitchen was fully stocked with condiments, laundry detergent, soap, etc). The property had free wi-fi which was great since one of us unfortunately had to do work during our stay. The property is also located right next to the hot tub/pool area which was very convenient. The fireplace and boot dryers were also great after a day out on the slopes. And best of all, the property owners were a pleasure to work with. They were very accomodating and made my planning process a breeze.
Great experience in Whistler.

This was my first trip to Whistler and the experience was wonderful. This condo was conveniently located to the bus, the village as well as the hot-tub and pool. It was a pleasure renting from Nancy and I look forward to a return visit.
Fantastic rental close to everything!

I've stayed at a lot of Whistler hotels and properties around and this one was my favourite by far. Location is a short walk to the gondolas as well as being right across the street from the IGA grocery store and many other restaurants. The unit itself is in great shape with comfy bedding, plenty of towels, a well equipped kitchen, and nice touches like a glove/boot drier and even an xbox for those times when the conditions aren't so great :) Overall I had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying there again in the future.
Everything we needed
Jacob B from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Date: Oct-14-2011
Six of us stayed in the property for two days and it was perfect. We cooked all of our meals in the fully furnished kitchen and used the grill on the deck both nights. There was plenty of extra bedding for everybody to be comfortable and the pull out sofa bed in the living room area was surprisingly cozy. It is close enough to the pedestrian area of the village to walk everywhere, but far enough away to sleep at night. The complex is wooded and set back from the road and there are nice trees surrounding the balcony. Nancy was very helpful in answering any questions before we arrived and the rental agency was there to answer a few that we had in Whistler. I would highly recommend the place for a visit to Whistler and will try and stay again if I have a chance to return.
Great stay in Whistler

The condo was perfect for our first visit to Whistler. The location adjacent to the village is super convenient. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The unit's amenities are perfect for a family group or just a couple. We look forward to visiting again.
Terrific Village Location
EJRDFS from Westwood, Massachusetts
Date: Sep-05-2011
Perfect location for accessing all the amenities of Whistler Village. Condo is well-stocked for visitors, including towels for the great pool and hot tub next door. Wonderful views of the mountains from the balcony and master bedroom. Not a ton of space, but well laid-out and nice to have the top 2 floors of the building. Washer/dryer was a huge plus. A little stuffy on warmer nights, but fans are provided. Terrific home base for exploring Whistler!
Lovely condo and good value

We had a terrific stay at this condo. Very comfortable for meals and lounging. With two teenagers, the two full baths were appreciated. We loved the location across the street from the grocery store. Also, easy access to everything else Whistler offers.
Mountain Biking Fever
shaikoe from Hinton, Canada
Date: Aug-04-2011
We had to drive 10 hours in a vehicle to get to our destination. We brought our bikes and were able to bike/walk everywhere. There was a mountain bike festival which was in walking distance. A relative came to visit by Greyhound bus and that was close by. The grocery shopping was across the street and most of the activities were within a 10 to 15 minute walk. Lost Lake was close. We were close to EVERYTHING! Movie theater, shopping, mountain, parks, valley trail system which goes through the town. We enjoy hiking and this was the only place we had to drive to which was the trail head and we probably could have biked if we had more time. The teens were able to get to the air dome by bike and the mountain bike activities. The condo was warm, great music selection, kitchen well stocked (spices, coffee, tea), welcome chocolates. Thanks!

We had a delightful time, even though the weather wasn't so nice. The condo had everythng you would want and more. The location was great and close to everything. We only took the car out once to travel a distance down the road. I would recommend this wonderful place to anyone who is interest in going to Whistler.
Northstar 113 was great!

I recently stayed at Northstar 113 and it was the perfect stay for my Spring break getaway. I stayed with four girls and it was the perfect spot for everything we were looking for. It was a five minute walk to the base of the mountain, with all of the bars and the shops on the way. The grocery store was right across the street so we never had to drive anywhere our whole trip. The amenities were wonderful and it was quiet enough to get some peace but was perfectly suitable for a group of college kids. I would definitely stay there again!
Close to shopping and skiing!

This unit is very close to the mountain for skiing. It's convenient to the shops in the village. The grocery store is across the street. We enjoyed our stay there!
Great place for a relaxing getaway
americanchai66 from San Francisco, California

This was the perfect place to stay for a 5-day vacation with my husband and 17-month-son son, from March 10-15, 2011. We found the property through VRBO, and the owner (Nancy) was extremely helpful and hospitable right from the start. The condo is a well-designed 2-bdrm + 2-bath townhouse and occupies the upper two floors (Note: there are no elevators). The MBr has an attached bath, and the second room has a bunk setup with a Q bed below and T on top; there was plenty of room for our rented crib to fit too. The downstairs was wonderfully cozy, but with plenty of room for us to spread out and the baby to play. This is a very bright and well-maintained unit with a lovely view from all rooms, and our son loved gazing out the windows at all the snow and views of the mountains. The condo location was amazing too: right across the street from the IGA Marketplace and a mini-mall of restaurants and convenience stores, and a 10-min walk to the main Village amenities. The only negative feedback is that the check-in procedures (had to pick up keys from Whistler Reception Services, located at Deer Lodge) were a hassle considering that we had traveled several hours by plane, had a long wait at Vancouver airport and then 3 hours in 2 buses with an over-tired toddler and lots of luggage. Although one WRS staff member (Jules) had been an incredible resource over e-mail in the weeks prior to our trip, her co-workers were not helpful in resolving start-up issues, were not willing to deliver basic tools, and did not come to the property on the day we arrived to attend to basic maintenance problems. Perhaps the owner can find another source in the future to check-in guests and/or meet them at the condo, especially in the winter and when small kids are involved. Overall, though, we had a fantastic stay and would love to come back for a summer visit!
Wonderful Townhouse close to the village and skiing

Charming townhouse close to the village and bus stop for skiing. We enjoyed the extra amenities offered such as; coffee, laundry soap and cozy bath robes. The unit was clean, updated and quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. As a vacation rental owner myself, I would highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in staying at Whistler.
Perfect winter experience

We have spent the last 3 months in this well equipped, perfectly located cozy townhouse. While only a close walk to the village, bus stops, and supermarket, it remained a quiet, perfect place to relax after a day out skiing. We were spoilt by arriving to many of homes luxuries including a fully equipped kitchen with herb and spice rack, cook books and cleaning/dish washing products. Similarly to the living areas downstairs, the bathrooms contained everything that was needed, from bathrobes, to shampoo and conditioner. Overall, the townhouse provided us with the perfect place to relax and enjoy everything whistler had to offer over the 10/11 winter period.
Charming home away from home.

If you are looking for a place in Whistler that won't cost you an arm and a leg, but still has easy access to the Village, than this is the place for you! It was clean and comfortable, came with everything you would need like washer/dryer, dishwasher, shampoos and soaps, pots and pans, coffee and tea etc. It was very much a home away from home. And we loved that it was just steps away from the hot tub and pool. For a larger size group I honestly thought this unit was perfect! Would definitely come again!
