Unit is right on the slopes within a stone throw to the upper village and the Chateau Whistler. The condo is decorated nicely with a great kitchen, bathroom and TV/sound-system. The wrap around balcony with BBQ is right on the slope with a wonderful view. The Aspens has a wonderful pool area with three hot-tubs. I would not hesitate to stay here again and will recommend this unit to friends and family. The owner, Dave, was quick to respond to my e-mail requests and returned both of my calls quickly when I had some questions during our stay. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great trip and I would like to extend a big thank-you.

We stayed in this condo for 3 nights last week, and had a wonderful time! This is a first class unit with all high end appliances, beautiful decore, a king bed, a fabulous deck with mtn views and a superb location just a few steps down to the village! The pool and two hot tubs were real close by, so that was great! There was no noise what so ever! In fact, I can't ever remember staying in a place that was soooooo quiet! In response to the review from Kentucky ( Adequate Lodging) I would have to disagree with all of his negative comments. The unit was very clean, the bathroom door closed fine, the shower head never leaked, the floor tiles & decore were beautiful and the fridge was a non-issue. We loved staying here and would highly recommend this condo to all our friends! Whistler is a beautiful place to visit, any time of the year!

Owner response:Thank you Warren for the comments. We know 109 is an upscale unit, great location and outlook. You deserve the best and sounds like you enjoyed it...

My wife and I rented this apartment in March. In reviews of lodging it seems appropriate to discuss the lodging unit, not the environmental factors of Whistler. Here is what we found: The good: It's near the outside exit and the entrance to the underground garage. It's located on the lower level and has easy access. The apartment has an updated look. The bad: It's located near the tub and you clearly hear people loudly party at all hours. Many items didn't work, such as the bathroom door not closing, overhead electrical lighting failing to work with sticky notes stating not to turn them on, the fireplace didn't ignite, the tub showers didn't work and leaked. The list goes on and on... The ugly: The apartment was absolutely filthy. It may not have been the owner's fault, but it looked as though it hadn't been properly cleaned for a long time. The quirky: Things like installing a refrigerator where the door swings the wrong way so that every time you get food out of the refrigerator you must stand outside the kitchen area. The contractors also failed to use correct tiles in the renovation. The verdict: We left early and stayed elsewhere (didn't ask for a refund). We told the owner about the concerns via e-mail. Overall, the Aspens were only about 30% full at the height of the season. We won't return.

Owner response:My guest book and all comments on my unit are exemplary. Everybody writes how they love the location, decor and will come back for sure. My unit is cleaned every time a client goes, no charge and there have never been complaints. Top cleaners. Not sure if you walked in and the unit was being cleaned at the time because it is always spotless. I get them to report bulbs out or things to fix from rental. In regards to tub? we are 12-15 min walk from town center where the bars close at 2AM and is really loud. Thats why we bought in Benchlands to get away from the noise and ruckuses. You must of had a few stragglers come up this way. We had a special fridge made to use in the space. Complaint about my tiles, wow. It was a professional designer and hi end contractor. I rent my unit many many times and always say they loved my place, thank me and say definitely coming back.Bathroom door closes no problem. Can't please everyone. Have over 4000 rentals and all great reports, love the unit and for coming back to stay.

It is a true ski in/ski out location, right on a slopes. The condo was perfect for our family of 3, very well furnished. Kitchen stocked nicely. The place is next to hot tubs, swimming pools & exercise room. Convenient and pleasant walk to the village. The owner was very easy to work with. We had a great skiing with a tons of fresh powder and sunny days, ( thanks for ordering this for us). The whole week was truly unforgettable. Definitely we want to come back. The condo is highly recommended. Thanks Dave.

Thank you for a fantastic time in your lovely luxury condo. It is is everything I expected and more. We will be back for sure and make sure we book this condo in the Aspens. We had a total of 13 staying at the Aspens in other units and your condo #109 was voted for the best location and ambiance in Aspens. Beautiful inside but also looking out to the ski hill, skiers and mountains. It was so spectacular. Again, thank you for making our holiday so special.

It's really been lovely in your condo. Thanks so much for help and the wonderful condo.! The online description does not do it justice to the views and the fantastic forest scents. It was so great being so close to town but far enough away from the noise of the town center and enjoy the peace and quiet. The pool was great and as you said, we heard no noise whatsoever from the hot tubs and pools in the court yard. Just perfect.! I will recommend your place highly to anyone I know who is lucky enough to spend some time in Whistler.

What a wonderful place to stay when away from home. We loved the decor and the flow of the rooms. It truely felt like a home away from home. Your energies to think of all that a guest would need have not gone unnoticed. Your attention to detail is much appreciated. Our favourite would have to be the vast amount of windows, view and bright. Thank you for allowing us to stay. God bless
