Nicol retreat

The shared pool and hot tub are showing their age, with some missing tiles and peeling paint, but everything was working perfectly.

The "bike storage lockers" in the parkade were overflowing beyond capacity with bikes, so you might need to bring extra locks and chains to secure your bikes to your vehicle instead.

Unit has great location in Upper Village across from bus stop and Fresh St. Market. Loading and unloading was easy. Underground parking access is convenient. Owners have left thorough instructions for everything in their guest book along with a well stocked pantry of condiments and spaces. There was even a crock pot, blender and electric grill in the kitchen! Dining room chairs and sectional sofa were very comfortable, as was the bed in the bedroom.

The only hitch we experienced was a fire alarm that went off during our visit in the complex one afternoon (firemen came to complex and disarmed the fire alarm), and our entry code somehow got changed when we tried to re-enter the unit after visiting the hot tub one evening. Kudos and many thanks to the properties staff person at the front desk for allowing us to use her computer to contact the owners for assistance even though she is not responsible for private rentals (she was amazing!).

Thankfully, Crystal answered our call promptly and saved us from a wet and cold evening outside! She was good enough to call us back after we got in using the new code to make sure that everything was okay (thanks very much)!

We (2 adults) stayed here in early december for a workation. This unit was in great shape although the complex itself is older. We liked that the bathroom had good shower rather than the useless tiny bathtub. Both bathroom and kitchen were well stocked. And if we needed something the grocery stores at the market place were just 1 minute walk away.

The free bus service to the lifts is handy. The bus stop is just across the street and run frequently in the mornings and afternoons. Will certainly return to this nice condo!

This condo is really a great location for winter or summer. We loved that it was so close to the grocery store and village (close to the Olympic Plaza) and our kids loved how easily they could get themselves to the pump track and bike path network. We visted the Lost Lake area many times.

The condo had everything we needed to cook - we only went out a handful of times which saved a ton of money. Having laundry in the unit was a major plus as well. We enjoyed the hot tub one night, but had a fair bit of poor weather during our stay, so the pool didn't tempt us. Very easy to load in, park, store bikes, etc. Thank you!

We had a great stay. The condo was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything required to make your own meals although a non stick frying pan would be a good addition. Lots of counter space and a newer quiet fridge. Living area was nice and the gas fireplace worked well. Bed and bedding was comfortable and there was a good sized closet and dresser for your clothes. Having a full-size new washer and dryer was very convenient. Wifi was excellent.

The condo location was great. Being on the ground floor meant not having to lug skis and luggage up and down stairs. It was a very short walk to the well maintained hot tub and pool. The free shuttle bus stop was also close by.

We had a wonderful stay at this property to start our Summer 2018 holidays off. The North Star location is fabulous and our kids always enjoy the pool. This unit in particular is furnished stylishly and comfortably. The couch is of high quality, as is the bedroom mattress. It was nice to have a variety of pillows to choose your firmness preference. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare and cook meals.

We found the owner's responsiveness and attentiveness to be over and above expectation when we had an issue come up. Thank you again! We will definitely return. Well done!

We had a fantastic stay for 10 nights. The apartment was perfect size for us and very well presented and super clean. Beds were very comfortable and the bedroom had plenty of space for storage and hanging thing up. My brother came to join us for a few nights and the fold out sofa bed was huge and very easy to get out and fold away. Kitchen had everything you need, though I might suggest a few more wine glasses as we could only find one........and you know how we English like to drink wine.

Great location just opposite the Bus stop for the village shuttle, never had to wait more than 3 mins for the bus in the morning! We very much enjoyed the Hot tub and pool in the leisure complex, some good times chatting with fellow skiers on the days events / conditions over a G & T (in the plastic cups provided).

All in all and perfect stay in a lovely and very well maintained apartment. Highly recommended to all.......we will most certainly be back!
Thanks, Philip and Liz

PS - we forgot to turn the dishwasher on before we left - Our apologies for the inconvenience!!

Our family of three, two adults and one six year old found this to be a comfy and convenient home away from home. It is within easy walking distance to all that the village has to offer. The grocery, liquor and drug stores are right across the street and there is even a shared heated pool and large hot tub. The unit is also close to the clubhouse and pool, which is really nice.

It was clean and well stocked with the basics: shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc. Also a hair dryer. The pull out sofa worked well for our daughter and it was nice to have a second TV in the bedroom. I look forward to staying here again.

This place was awesome. Clean, updated appliances, super easy check/in. I never tried to contact the owners because I didnâ??t need to - but I had to rate responsiveness so gave 5 stars. . They left a Great binder for guests with phone numbers, door codes, instructions for appliances etc. Secured parking included which is great for Whistler.

Price was very reasonable for Whistler. Walking distance to lifts but long walk so not practical in ski boots. Thereâ??s a free shuttle or you can drive. Right across from IGA and much quieter than main village. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

We had a great stay in this beautiful apartment - so much so that we stayed an extra night! It's ideally located right across from Marketplace, just a short stroll from the Village. Nice and spacious with modern fittings throughout the kitchen and bathroom.

Crystal was a great host and super responsive. We'll definitely be back!

I really don't want to let everybody know how great this accommodation is just in case it gets booked out and I cant get in to stay again!

We stayed as a family of four for 3 1/2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay - it was clean, comfortable and was fitted out with everything we needed to make us feel at home and it was within easy walking distance to the Vilage but still just out of the main hustle and bustle of Whistler. Communicating with Crystal was easy and efficient.

Highly recommended!! Thanks for having us!

Great property. It had everything we needed and was a close walk to Whistler Village. Grocery store and Starbucks was across the street as was the shuttle to the lifts. It was a nice perk that the owner provided sleds for us to use while staying there. My kids loved it!

My only suggestion for the owner is to provide laundry detergent for the guests to use, if we are expected to wash the towels before leaving as per the instructions on the Departure Checklist. Otherwise, the unit was nice and spacious and well kept. We would definitely recommend it to others coming to visit Whistler.

I have rented many units in Stoney Creek and this is one of the nicer ones. It has been tastefully updated and decorated and has lots of natural light. Really appreciated the barbecue on the patio. It is very close to the entrance of the complex so it is not far to carry your luggage but can be a bit noisy with cars dropping off in the turnaround.

Lacking a bit in wine glasses (this could just be due to breakage from rentals) but overall a well stocked kitchen. Location is perfect if you want to be away from the noise of the main village yet be close to restaurants, groceries, shopping, etc. Would highly recommend this unit.
