THE GABLES - Superior Location, Spacious, close to lifts & village

Fantastic location! Super easy walk to the lifts and a quick jaunt to the village through a lovely, well-lit trail.

Hosts Rose and Doug were very welcoming and checked in with us to ensure all was well and that we had everything we needed.

We will definitely be back for another visit!

We have been to many places in Whistler /Blackcomb and this is the best we have been to. Very nice and clean place. Location is great , just few minutes walk to Blackcomb Gondola as well as Whistler village and gondolas. Very quiet environment. You get all amenities to have a good vacation.

The location is very nice -- close to the lists and to the village, yet very quiet. The kitchen is well (and thoughtfully) stocked, and Rose is very welcoming and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay there.

This is a very convenient place to stay. It was our 2nd year in a row staying at this Gables unit. It was convenient to have a code for the front door instead of having to get a key from an office located elsewhere. The owner called the evening we arrived to make sure everything was clean and asked if we needed anything. The place was very clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable as was the sofa bed for the kids. Worked again for our family of four!

Superbly situated great unit. Spacious so close to the village yet so peaceful as well Best equipped kitchen I have ever come across in a rental home. Thank you I would love to stay again when I am next in Whistler

This is a well looked after large 1 bedroom condo in a great location. It's just minutes walking to both Whistler village and Blackcomb base. Very well equipped kitchen, bedding etc. Comfortable bed. Clearly the owners are involved and care about this unit. Quiet location as well. Reserved parking right outside the entrance is great. Enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend.

This beautiful condo in the Gables is fantastic. It is spacious and clean and in a very convenient location close to lifts and the Village There was lots of storage for skis right in the entrance to the unit which was very handy. The owner has supplied everything you could possibly need from night lights to pens and paper to flashlights and every kitchen item you could desire including spices and coffee. Very thoughtful! I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Add hot water kettle and single serve coffee maker.

We had a wonderful vacation in this lovely condo close to everything! We were sad to leave!

This is my family's second stay at the Gables, and as usual, we couldn't be happier. The property is inviting, well-kept, and offers all the comforts of home. The location itself is well-appointed, clean, and within walking distance to the slopes and shops. Doug and Rose go out of their way to be the perfect hosts and even call to make sure everything is up to par. My only regret is my family can't stay in this lovely property more often. However, we'll be back again next November! Thank you for the beautiful Stay!!!

This was our first stay at the Gables and this particular unit. It won't be our last! The condo was VERY clean and comfortable. It has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Sitting on the back deck relaxing and listening to Fitzsimmons Creek was great.

The complex itself was very quiet, even on a busy Labor Day weekend. It was nice receiving a phone call from Rose after we were there for a couple of days just to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this condo, and look forward to future stays.

Best place in Whistler, I have beem there three times

Really like this unit, its size, the set up for skiing, the location. It is in a nice quiet location between both hills, easily accessible by a short walk. And we also found that there is little to no noise from other units. The kitchen is stocked great -- tons of dishes, utensils, pot s n pans, baking stuff -- , comfortable living space and dining space. We found the bed too soft for our liking but that everything else was fantastic. The washer /dryer were also handy.

Thanks for a great comfortable stay.

We love this apartment. We've stayed here many times! It's close to the Blackcomb lift and a quick walk to the Chateau Whistler. We plan to book this place again!

This is our second time to stay with Doug and Rose and our fourth stay at The Gables. You canâ??t beat the location of The Gables. You can be at either Whistler or Blackcomb lifts in minutes without having to deal with finding and paying for parking. Itâ??s is a short easy walk to the village to get groceries, shop or to eat.

Rose and Doug are the perfect hosts and go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They provide absolutely everything from you need from shopping bags to umbrellas and the kitchen is well appointed with many pots, pans, coffee maker, blenders, and a dish washer should you decide to cook and eat in more. There is a new washer and dryer which is very handy.

We will be return!

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect, and the condo had everything we needed. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, and comfortable. Douglas and Rose were very easy to communicate with and were both great hosts. Our new favorite place to stay in Whistler. Can't wait to return!!

The owners, Doug and Rose, consistently provide a 5-star experience with their condo and service which made our stay in Whistler memorable. We have stayed here before and we are booked to come back later in the Winter. We highly recommend there property.

We had another idyllic stay at this home. The location is excellent. It is quiet and very clean. The homeowners are very friendly and responsive. They generously provide many spices, condiments, and toiletries. The cookware and dishware are plentiful. We look forward to returning again and again.

The location in the Gables was just as advertised. Perfect, truly. Ease of access to literally everything that Whistler-Blackcomb has to offer. Being able to walk to all our activities or meals was the best. Owners provided clear and easy details prior to check-in.

The property was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. I would definitely return here for another stay.

Another wonderful stay in this lovely, well positioned, well-equipped apartment! We stayed at Christmas and returned in the Spring. It was lovely to sit out on the decking listening to the Creek (which was frozen at Christmas) and overlooking the gardens (which were snow-covered at Christmas). A different, but equally positive, experience.

We're coming back to Whistler next March and are sorry that we left it too late to re-book this beautiful apartment. We will definitely return! Thanks again Rose and Doug for letting us use your lovely home.

Rose is next level as a host. We got a phone call the night we arrived to check we were ok. Anything else we needed she was more than happy to help with. The unit itself is an older stye unit, but huge compared with comparable priced places and the location is unbeatable - 2 minutes walk from either Whistler or Blackcomb bases (it's situated in between on the river).

We've stayed at the Gables several times now and really like it there. The in-unit washer/dryer is an absolute must for families too! If you're looking for a place with a ton of amenities - pools/saunas etc, this is not the place for you, but if you want something big, clean, full in unit facilities (full kitchen, laundry, drying room, etc) this is the one for you.

Highly recommended and we will definitely be staying there again.

This is the 3rd year we have stayed in Douglas and Roses's Gables Apartment. It was a huge success again.

The condo was perfect! Cozy and spacious for two. We took advantage of the full kitchen, buying groceries and cooking several of our own meals. The hosts called shortly after the start of our stay to check in and make sure everything was going well. The designated parking spot made car usage a breeze. The ski lifts were a very short walk out the front door and strolling to the village took no time at all. Everything was fantastic and our stay in Whistler was wonderful!

One of the nicest units I have stayed in at The Gables. It is very well cared for and the kitchen is nicely stocked. Very responsive owners, called to make sure everything was to our liking. Great place will definitely stay there again.

We recently stayed three weeks in the Gables. We have stayed in the Gables before but never in a downstairs unit facing the creek. The unit was very very quiet and the outlook to the trees and the creek was lovely. Rose was great in calling us soon after our arrival and making sure we had all we needed.

The unit had ample supplies including toilet paper, tissues, soap, shampoo and conditioner as well as umbrellas and grocery bags. The kitchen had everything you could possibly imagine if you choose to cook some meals. Rose called us again before we left to follow up on our stay and if there was anything lacking in the unit.

The location of the property is unique in Whistler. You are literally a two minute walk from the Wizard Express on Blackcomb and a three minute walk to the Whistler gondola while at the same time away from the hustle and bustle of Whistler. In the past we have always rented a car but this time decided not too and we were glad. We took the Whistler Connection shuttle form the airport to Whistler.

From the unit you can walk everywhere. You are close to two grocery shops and a mini mart, many restaurants, and apres ski spots of varying prices, the movie theater, the liquor store, the Cultural Center, and walks, snow showing and cross country skiing when you take a day off from the mountain. Whistler village, with its no vehicle area, is great just to walk around and Blackcomb offers a slightly quieter atmosphere.

We definitely will be back to stay with Rose and Douglas Schwenning again.

We love The a Gables. It is a great location for both Whistler and a Blackcomb and super quiet. The condo is spacious and very comfortable and the owners are very helpful. Happy to recommend this condo and we will definitely be returning to The Gables and hopefully this condo.

Owner of property contacted us on the first night to see all was well. Great price, great location. Excellent that tea and coffee were profided, as was washing detergent. Beds were comfortable, even the fold out one. Good wifi and tv’s.

We have stayed in many properties in Whistler over the years but this was our first time at The Gables. It certainly won't be our last! This is a hidden gem, so close to both mountains and the town, and yet so quiet and secluded.

Number 4* is just perfect, on the ground floor so not too far to travel in ski boots, and overlooking the back of the property and the creek, so we didn't even get the noise from the car park. It is very well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner for our whole family.

Douglas and Rose are superb hosts, contacting us to make sure everything was ok and to give us tips about Whistler, and being flexible and amenable regarding our requests, making our stay even more comfortable. We have already booked to come again in May and hope to return again in the future.

Thank you for a memorable Christmas and New Year stay!

We have been to Whistler many times but this is the first time we have stayed at the Gables. This must be the quietest location in Whistler - all you hear is the creek in the backyard. We had the window open every night and not once did we hear the revelers leaving the bars which are common in Whistler at night. The location is fantastic...easy walk in ski boots to both Whistler and Blackcomb bases and a short path across a covered bridge to the Whistler stroll.

The condo was very clean, comfortable and had everything you need to enjoy your vacation. We will definitely be booking this unit again.

This is a great unit at The Gables and a great location. I've been visiting The Gables for several years, it's always quite (at least in late November when I visit). These units are not very new but the ones I have stayed in are clean well maintained, are reasonably stocked with the essentials (bathroom and kitchen items) and very comfortable.

The layout of the condo is nicely setup for skiers with the front entry setup for boots, skis etc. I've never had a need to call housekeeping or the caretaker but their info is included in the check in package just in case they are needed. The check in package is very complete with all the info you need so the reservation and check in goes smoothly (assuming you read the provided info, it's all there).

I will continue to stay at The Gables when I visit Whistler.

I've stayed in the Gables complex previously but at a different unit and I keep coming back for the location, see my previous reviews for details on the other unit. This one is slightly more expensive but is worth every cent in my opinion.

The bed is the best I have ever slept in, the linen is hotel quality and there's plenty of towels etc. I had an unexpected guest and she said the sofa bed was also very comfortable. There's a large entry foyer which easily accommodated the 2 bikes and all our gear, the bag of rags to wipe them down with was also appreciated. Nice touches include supplying laundry and dishwashing detergent as well as a decent supply of coffee for the pot.

The location is perfect, you can access Blackcombe or the Fitz lift easily as it's right in the middle of both, village centre is a 5 minute walk.

I'm already looking at coming back next year so this is the place I'll be booking again.

My wife, teenage son, and I had a wonderful visit to Whistler and stay at the Schwenning home. Finding and renting the home on AlluraDirect was very easy and convenient.

Then, directions to the home, how to get access, park, and use the amenities were very clear and easy to understand. We had no problems and felt all that was included was in great condition, easy to use, and a super value. Plus, Mrs. Schwenning called and greeted us on the evening of our arrival and made us feel very welcome.

The next time we go back to Whistler, we hope the Schwenning home is available for us again. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Schwenning for sharing your home with us!

Rose and Douglas have equipped this condo very well and everything was in great condition. The bed and the sofa bed were comfortable, kitchen had all we needed and there was even a good stock of condiments, coffee filters, cooking oil, dishwashing soap etc. The bathroom was clean, everything worked very well, had clean towels, hand soap, toilet paper and toiletries.

Check in was super fast and I even received a call from Rose to make sure I had everything I needed. I will stay here again next time I'm in town.

I absolutely cannot express how pleased we were with this beautiful condo. It is immaculate and well equipped. The owners contacted us on our first day to ask if we had any questions,problems or needed anything else. They also gave us great recommendations on where to visit and eat.

The location is absolutely perfect. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and literally a short walking distance to everything. Lost Lake, Whistler Village, everything is close. I highly recommend, and will be returning.

Perfect location and very well equipped kitchen. Thank you!

Could not fault this place as it is exactly as advertised. It would have to be the most well stocked apartment we have ever stayed at in terms of the basics you need (and therefore don't need to buy on arrival) and general items that make it feel incredibly homely.

Doug & Rose were fantastic to deal with and the apartment itself is extremely roomy for a 1 bed having separate Kitchen, Living, Dining and Bedroom areas. The location is second to none sandwiched evenly between the Whistler and Blackcomb ski lift systems and shops (about a 3 minute walk in either direction).

This apartment is perfect for couples and we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. We will be back many times i'm sure!

My wife and I stayed here with our adult son and we couldn't have been happier. This is the 8th time we have used AlluraDirect to book a Whistler condo. While we have never been disappointed, some are better than others. This may have been our favorite so far. The owner called us the day after we arrived to ensure we had everything we needed (we did) which was much appreciated. The unit is an easy 5 minute walk in ski boots to the Blackcomb base and Village is just around the corner as well. I must complement the cleaning staff as this unit is spotless right down to the corners and behind the furniture. It is a perfect floorplan with a parking spot that is pretty much right outside the door. The front entry is warm with benches, lots of hangers and a ski storage area. The bedding was nice and the sheets felt like they were brand new. The mattress is also very comfortable. You get the sense that the owners care about the guests and their experience. I would not hesitate to book this unit again. Thanks for a great stay.

We had a great week in this lovely, well equipped home. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay in Whistler and The Gables was a perfect location for us because we could easily walk to either Whistler or Blackcomb. We met the owners - Doug and Rose - when we checked in. They showed us around the unit, how everything worked, where everything was in the unit and what we should do if we had any problems. During our stay we had a few questions and they responded to our needs very quickly. It was nice to have this hands-on relationship from the owners. The unit was very well equipped and they even provided a lot of the small things like spices, coffee, tea etc. to start you off on your stay. The day we started our stay they had just received a new mattress and pillows for the master bedroom. These were high quality and very comfortable. The rest of the unit showed signs of the wear and tear a rental unit is exposed to but the unit was very clean and comfortable. I expect that the pull-out couch and carpeting will be due for replacement soon. As a 1-bedroom unit, we found it to have a lot of room for a couple and suitable for entertaining friends and family for dinner. Also, there was a lot of storage for your clothes in the bedroom, and the large entrance allowed you to keep your skis, boots and winter coats hung up and out of the way. The lower value rating is due to a comparison of price and quality of similar units we have rented in the past whereby we always had a substantial reduction in the nightly rate for longer term stays. This no longer seems to be the case in Whistler any more.

Second stay at the property and as good as the first. Great location and very spacious property. Perfect holiday stay.

Our second thoroughly enjoyable stay at this wonderful condo which perfectly fits our requirements - the quiet location is tremendous for quick access to the upper village, the main village centre and all ski lifts for either mountain.

There is plenty of space for two people with dedicated kitchen, dining and lounge areas with separate bedroom and bathroom. A nice design feature of a couple of steps down into the lounge area and the addition of an open fireplace add to the appeal of the property. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is plenty of storage throughout including the foyer/lobby which is perfect for ski gear. An external balcony is reached from the lounge and at appropriate times of year this would be a great outdoor seating area.

High quality communication with the owners has always been reliable and appreciated. We will definitely be visiting again in the future. The choice of condo certainly contributed to a fantastic vacation and we were again reluctant to leave.

Was delighted.. wonderful accommodations!

Great place to spend some days in Whistler! Perfect located to the village and the Bikepark. I enjoyed 10 perfect days in the cosy and very well equipped apartment.

Thank you, Doug & Rose, for another wonderful ten days in your very special condo. We've lost track of how many years we've stayed here but it's consistently welcoming, comfortable, spotless and the location is perfect. We also thank you checking in with us when we arrive - it's that extra care that makes it a home away from home for us!

excellent unit

One of our favorite places to stay! Convenient, quiet with secluded woods/river off the back deck.

The Gables is our favourite development. It is quiet and very convenient to both mountains. It does not have things like bbqs or hot tubs/pool but these are things that are not on the top of our "must haves".

We had a tremendous stay at The Gables. Very well-appointment, spacious and excellent location between the two mountains (both walkable in minutes). Many great personal touches including the fire-logs, not to mention the courtesy telephone call from the owners to check on our stay. We'll be repeat visitors for sure.

We have been to Whislter for many times, having traveling so far from home (we live in Hong Kong), a comfortable place to stay after a long journey is very important to us. This property is by far the best and the most equipped unit that we stayed in so far. The unit is on the ground floor very closed to the parking space, it makes loading and unloaded an easy task.

Like many of the previous tenants mentioned, the location of the unit is ideal for people who wants to have easy access to both Whistler and Blackcomb, everything is less than 5 mins walk.

The owner is very responsive with my requests, and are very nice too.

If I need to be picky, the couch is not very comfortable. I can't really sit there to relax without resulting a backpain. Maybe its just me who needs more supporting to my bad back.

All in all, this is a warm home away from home. We would definitely come back if the unit is available for rent in the future. Thanks for letting us to stay there.

We stayed for 2 weeks in this condo and loved it. It was our home in Whistler. Fast and friendly communication with Doug and Rose. Good kitchen, bedding, wifi etc etc. The condo at The Gables is perfect between the lifts, restaurants, stores and shops. Easy 5 min. walk. If we come back to Whistler, we will try to stay at the Gables and nr. 4* again.

We stayed in this condo for nine nights in early January. It is in a great location only a few minutes walk from Whistler main village and all of its activities as well as the major ski lifts. The condo itself is extremely well equipped with everything you could need for a stay. Would recommend this condo and will definitely be looking to come again when we return to Whistler.

It was absolutely perfect! The hosts called to say hi and check in. The kitchen was well equipped, it even included coffee, tea, and other basic essentials. Location was perfect. Tucked away but still close to everything, which made it nice and quiet. My husband and I stayed with our two children (5 & 6) and the space was perfect. We didn't want to leave! Highly recommend it and can't wait to go back.

very nice condo near the bike park

Location, location, location! Backside condo facing the river is perfect and peaceful. Wonderful to listen to the river in the evening. Super close to the lifts and village. One of our favorites! Thank you for the nice time.

We had a great stay and found the accommodation and its amenities top notch.

excellent place to stay for cyclists and others

Wonderful, clean, well-stocked rental. I have stayed in many vacation rentals by owner and this was the best supplied home I have ever rented. The owners were very thoughtful and had a great supply of spices, oil, cookware and cooking utensils, and even bandages and antiseptic ointment. The home is very clean and comfortable.

The location is great! We only had 2 minor glitches. One, none of the HDMI outputs on the living room television worked (but the bedroom HDMI output worked seamlessly) and the other was that we never received the email prior to checking in with the unit number, policies, and check-out time (I could have missed the email, but I searched and could not find it). I had spoken with the owners before leaving for vacation and I had the unit entry code, but I forgot to ask about the condo number which resulted in our having to call them at 1 a.m. when we arrived to check in. They were so incredibly nice and helpful (especially considering it was so late).

I look forward to staying at this home again as soon as possible. It was excellent.

I would rather keep this property secret because we love renting it! It may not be available for us for next year if too many people are aware of it

This is the second time we have booked unit # 4* at The Gables. It is a very well equipped unit. Would definitely stay there again.
