5 star Highly recommend!

5 stars! This is our second time to Big White so we chose with a bit of prior knowledge and we would definitely go back to this rental!
The location is fantastic ( at base of Gondola) -Ski-out is great, zip up gondola and skate Right to Bullet lift or Left to ski down to Plaza, Snow Ghost or Ridge Rocket lifts. Ski-in is excellent, right to back door without having to skate across flat terrain or cross any roads, and works great for night skiing access. Restaurant access is excellent - steps away from Happy Valley Lodge which has a Cafeteria food section (fast serve and takeout), a casual sit down restaurant/bar and a separate upscale restaurant... or take the gondola up to ( and also back from) the Main village for many more options. For those without a vehicle this is a major plus! ( we had one but never had to use it...pretty much everything is ski in/ski out at Big White but this is especially convenient for the non skiing activities as well) On other side of the gondola is where Happy Valley has Tubing runs, Hiking trail, ski school, sleigh rides and snowmobile rentals etc. and although we were all adults, this location would be perfect for families with young kids.
Inside the condo was great as well! The view is incredible, you are surrounded by big windows so amazing view for the Saturday fireworks! Its very quiet in and around the building, and unit is right on the main floor for easy access, near the stairs and elevator to access ski lockers etc which was a much more difficult process at our previous rental, and due to the hill slope you are one story up across the back and side of the unit ( I mention it because you couldn't be closer to the lockers and games and fitness rooms but you still have the privacy of a higher unit). A full size, well equipped kitchen made our stay in cooking nights easy as well ( but shop before you get to the resort, they have a grocery store but its pricey). The private balcony and hot tub can be accessed through the master bedroom and from the main family room and was in great condition! We used it every day! The heated floors kept it very cozy and the steam shower was an extra treat.
This checked every box with zero compromises...a well deserved review ( even though I probably made it more difficult to rent again next year lol)

Loved this property... location was spot on from watching the Saturday Night fireworks from the hot tub, to access to the gondola and Happy Valley. We loved the outlook and the view. It was great. Thank you. Hopefully we will be back one day soon.
