Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Aspens
We consider Whistler/Blackcomb our home mountain. It is an easy drive (less than 2 hours) from Vancouver. Being at the base of Blackcomb Mountain having a ski in/out location is so easy. We park our car and walk to Whistler and Blackcomb Villages (aka Upper Village), Lost Lake, Chateau Whistler golf course, the Valley Trail, etc.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We have equipped our home not as typical rental unit but as a second home. Everything is there including a Nintendo Wii, Cuisinart small appliances, barbecue, laundry soap and dryer sheets, air conditioning unit etc. so that we never have to bring anything but ourselves, clothing and food.
Owner's Map of Aspens
Welcome to our getaway home in the four-season playground, Whistler. This home allows us to re-connect away from our busy lives. Here we have celebrated growth and change with seeing our children toddling to hiking mountain trails, skiing between mom and dad's skis to black diamond runs, from training wheels to mountain bike and from riding in a stroller to golf cart. We hope you make our home a regular pilgrimage to rejuvenate, relax and re-connect. If this home is booked we also have a two bedroom and a studio in Whistler. We also invite you to visit our other homes in Sun Peaks, BC (ski in and out in the winter and on the golf course fairway in the summer) and Qualicum Beach, BC (beachside).

This was the most amazing place to stay ever! Look no further if you are heading to Whistler. Not only is Maria great to deal with but the place is absolutely amazing. My partner and I got married there recently and we had also booked ourselves into the Fairmount Chateau as we did the whole "don't see the bride before the big day" and our guests stayed both at the Fairmount and at other properties in The Aspen. All I can say is none of the other properties even compared to this apartment. I was in a full one bed room king suite suite in The Fairmount and it was nothing compared to this not to mention it was like triple the price for a night. Maria's place really shows attention to detail everything was amazingly comfortable and clean. On arrival there were goodies such as hot chocolate and fresh Starbucks coffee beans awaiting you, not to mention the little gorgeous toiletries in the bathroom that was a great touch as most people probably haven't had enough time to go to the Supermarket yet - It even had a new little lip balm there for you which is great as travelling always dries out the lips. The Kitchen was excellent fully equipped with all the best cookware it is a chefs dream when travelling. We were able to cook like we were still back at home which is great as when you are holiday for over a month eating out all the time is a real pain. It has all the things you would have in a kitchen at home so cooking was great not once did I say I wish I had.... Also you can't beat the location just far enough away from all the buzz but close enough to walk everywhere. We never used the free shuttle we just always walked down the hill and to the Village. Thank you Maria for an awesome stay it was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our marriage and a place to start our honeymoon. It was amazing and all your help was greatly appreciated :) We stayed there for nearly two weeks and loved every moment of it. Can't wait to come back again :)
Owner response:We are pleased to hear all went well with the wedding in Whistler. Planning a huge event from across the world is no easy task. We were pleased to assist the newlyweds with their accommodations. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. It helps us ensure that we are constantly meeting and exceeding guest experience expectations that match reknowned hotels like the Fairmont. We hope to be part of many more of your new family's milestones.

New Years in Blackcomb/Whistler

Review Submitted: 01/04/12
We just got home from a ski trip to Blackcomb/Whistler and stayed in this Aspens unit. Access to the slopes could not have been easier. The Aspens is right near the bottom of Blackcomb base and the Wizard chairlift. The great location made it easy to ski with kids and also convenient to walk down to restaurants, etc. The unit was as pictured with a nice king size bed, 2 flat screen TVs and a fireplace. While we were there the fireplace timer happened to gave out, but Maria had someone fix it by the time we got back from the slope…great response time! I would also mention if you’re a cook, the cookware, etc are top of the line. Thanks again for sharing your home.
Owner response:It was a pleasure to host your stay. We are pleased that you also appreciate our wonderful location. At the end of the day, nothing is easier than just coming home -no waiting for shuttles, walking with tired young skiers and being their valet. Thank you also for sharing appreciation for quality and attention that we put into our home. We look forward to seeing you again!

My wife, 10-year old son, and I stayed in the unit for 7 nights (1/8/11 - 1/15/11). What a fantastic experience!! The care with which Maria has assembled the furnishings and amenities really shows. Everything you could possibly need is in the room. My son really enjoyed the Wii and the sled; my wife appreciated the fully stocked and appointed kitchen (and the coffee-maker!!); the bedding and mattresses were first-rate; even the decorations were terrific. The development is also excellent, with on-site ski check and ski tuning shop. The grounds and room were very quiet all week, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tubs. It is an easy walk down the hill to the village from this location, and skiing right up to the development was completely awesome. The unit is even better than the description and pictures. Maria also has pull with the management company: I sent her a note about some ice build-up on the path to the slope. Maria got back to me in minutes, and within about an hour of my e-mail the staff was breaking ice! We hope to rent from Maria again!

Just wanted to note that I didn't even end up staying at this condo, but the owner (Maria) was gracious in her correspondence with me and offered me honest insight into The Aspens and other surrounding properties and Whistler in general. I can tell she is proud of her wonderful home and loves to share it with others. It was a blessing to experience such warm hospitality, regardless of whether I actually booked with her. I will definitely stay here next time.

My wife and I stayed in this condo for 6 nights 1/17/10 through 1/23/10 and had an absolutely amazing time! Maria had the unit perfectly cleaned, there is tons of room for 2 people or a 4 person family (2 kids + 2 adults), and the location is great in that it's a ski in/ski out. I appreciated the updated appliances and all of the little features (plenty of clean glassware, pots/pans, etc) that made it truly feel like home and not like a overused condo. I also appreciated how well appointed it was with good sized furniture and tasteful decor which made relaxing after a long day of skiing quite a treat. It is in the Upper Village, so you have a bit more of a trek to Whistler Village compared to some places, but the ski in/ski out feature made it completely worth it in my mind. The complex itself was in great shape with a ski valet, well taken care of hot tubs/pool (hot tubs were cleaned daily), a ski shop in the lobby (makes renting VERY easy), easy to access on-site underground parking (although you must pay), and I could go on and on. I must say that the pictures of the unit are 100% accurate and are not just "taken from the best angles" or anything like that. Do not hesitate in booking this unit! We've had lots of great experiences on VRBO, but this was the best!

September 14-17, 2007 Thanks so much Maria and family for sharing your "home away from home" with us. The instant we walked in through the door of 440, we both relaxed; feeling the comfort, warmth and beauty of the condo pull us in. What a wonderful place to come to. We will definitely be back with and without the children.
