Abby's Retreat

We had a wonderful time as always, however there were a few housekeeping issues that were noticeable. There was only one roll of toilet paper (no backup under bathroom sink) so we had to purchase more. There were multiple salt and pepper shakers some were empty, no pepper to be found, so we we had to purchase more. There was very little dishwasher soap available, only enough for one load, so we loaded when we left but did not turn on. Several water glasses in the cabinet did not appear to have been washed at all. The floor in the kitchen was swept but had some sort of stains that we had to mop up. The outdoor thermometer on the living room window clearly does not work at all. I think the housekeepers are not paying attention to backup supplies, cleanliness or kitchen supplies.

This was unusual, as we have stayed here before and did not have any of these issues. Must of been a fast turnover for the housekeeping crew.

I have stayed in lake placid lodge many times. This room was the best appointed and supplied room. The appliances were good quality with plenty of utensils, cooing equipment and supplies such as spices. The espresso machine was a bonus. There was a bit of street noise as this unit is on the outside but the positives mentioned above outweigh this.

The hot tub and pool at lake placid are very nice. Thanks for a great stay Annette!

We enjoyed our five night winter stay. Condo is wellstocked, clean, and comfortable. Bed is a firm memory foam which my husband and I both slept well on. We liked using the espresso machine and the dining table is large enough for four people. There were only two of us so we didn't use the sofa bed in the living room but it looked comfortable.

The condo has a nice secure, heated ski storage area at the entrance to the building. Bring your own ski lock if you want additional security. Coin operated laundry in the basement. The condo is across the street from the Creekside gondola which made it super easy to get onto the mountain. The grocery store is also accross the street. The condo was stocked with spices, sugar, salt, and a few other odds and ends that previous tenants had probably left behind.

We would definitely stay here again. Two problems: one, the unit was not vacuumed very well before we arrived and there was no vacuum or broom I could use to clean up with. Annette offered to have housekeeping come, but they didn't show up the first day, and by the second day we were all moved in so I figured it wasn't worth the trouble so I cancelled it. Two: the hot tub was not working the first two nights of our stay and the maintenance people of the condo complex did not post any information as to what was going on but they eventually got it working. Some people in the complex told me this had happened before. So if the hot tub is super important to you, inquire to make sure it is working before you book.

Lake Placid lodge hosted by Annette was the perfect getaway spot for our awesome weekend at whistler. The lodge was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. All the appliances were newer and worked and the lodge is only a 5 minute walk to the gondola lift. Annette answered all emails promptly and picked up all our calls when we had questions about anything.

Would highly recommend renting the lodge if you are looking for a great place to stay for an epic trip to whistler!

Abby's Retreat is a very up to date, clean, well appointed condo. By far the best equipped kitchen we have ever had.

Very convenient to get to the creek side lift. Just walk across the road and up a few steps and you are basically a the gondola base. The bedroom mattress is very firm but comfortable.

Bathroom is quite small but modern. Not sure if the condo would be suitable for 4 adults, but more than enough room for 2 adults. The building facilities were good and not too busy, which was nice. Instructions and information given by the host was great. One thing to add is if you are skiing to bring a ski key for the ski room on the main floor.

The unit is in a great location, very well equipped. Comfy main bed and sofa bed. Especially loved the automatic espresso machine!

Great area and location. Easy walk to lifts, groceries. Bus stop nearby for going to Whistler Village for activities. Very nice condo. Large kitchen and dining room area. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool. It was a little tight for the 4 of us, including 2 teenagers. Good value for the price.

We love staying at Lake Placid Lodge, and have rented various suites within this complex. It's the best location in Creekside, an easy walk to the lifts and groceries, liquor store and WB Guest services for your passes. The bus stop is also very close if you want to go into the main village you can manage easily here without a car.

This suite is full of updates and felt clean and well cared for. Annette's apartment came supplied with a very functional kitchen and many supplies were at hand, including a full range of spices and an espresso machine!! We had great sleeps here, the beds were a very good quality. The pool hot tub area has recently been renewed, so very clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure. Thanks for having us!!!

We had a great stay in this condo. It was newly renovated and looked great. We loved the modern features and decorations. It had all of the amenities and was very clean.

The hot tub and pool are super to relax in at the end of a ski day. There are two covered barbeques in the common area that are available for all guests to use with tables to sit and eat dinner. It is an easy walk to the gondola, Dusty's and Roland's (two pubs), Starbucks, the liquor store and grocery store as well as a few other amenities. Lake Placid is one of our favourite places to stay at Whistler!

Well done renovated 1 bed unit with new bathroom fixtures, floor, vanity and tiling. Kitchen redone with marble oversized countertop, new SS appliances. Easy access to the lifts. Will stay again.

This lovely little nest is so conveniently located right across the street from the Creekside gondola there is no risk of getting lost and high risk of being first up on Whistler. The owners were so highly responsive when we had a few glitches it was clear they were proud of taking care of their visitors.

Being able to store you ski's downstairs in a secure open locker was great and no lugging of wet gear up to your room. The place has a sweet little outdoor deck where you can put your wet boots if need be, or just sit and enjoy the snow coming down and watch the community. Quiet at night and morning that we even felt like we needed to whisper when we were getting ready to head up to the slopes in the morning. We forgot our swimsuits for the community hot tub, but won't next time. It appears to be a mix of private owners and renters so there is a sense of community that sometimes is lacking in other facilities.

Super easy walking to a local lovely grocery store, ski shop, gym, but not nearly as crazy big like Whistler. But if you like, the main Whistler resort town is just a 5 min drive away where there are lots of great stores and restaurants to round out your need for activity.

We will definitely be coming back here for sure, and highly recommend this place.
