The comments from the fellow traveler accurately describe this condo. Highlights: -Location: short walk to shopping and bus to gondola -Parking: Secure, underground. -Administration: Easy transaction with owner Lowlights: -Dark, dark, dark!!!!!: The sparse fluorescent fixtures provide meager illumination! -Teeny living area: Don't expect much 'hang out' space. There were four of us and we felt quite cramped. It was a challenge to get two adults and two young children dressed for skiing at the front door. -Stereo/TV: Reminiscent of a dorm room setup. -Hot tub: Private only in the sense that it is associated with this unit and it wasn't warm enough. Tub is in full street view with substantial pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Great for exhibitionists :) -Value: Given the above, and past experiences with VRBO we were disappointed. Though the pictures are accurate in person the layout is tiny in the main living spaces. Recommended for: Tourists without a car

Everything was absolutely wonderful. The only thing missing was deer...I never did see one! I did, however, see a big black bear ambling along a jogging path. what a shock that must have been to joggers. We loved the hot tub, location, and peace and quiet. It was nice not having to bother with a key, and parking was great. This time of year there wasn't much to do but relax. Hy Steakhouse was so good we ate there twice. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place with us. The S family Texas

A great Location! We had a fun time here is Whistler and our first ever visit. We went right to the top of Whistler and enjoyed our Peak to Peak ride too. The weather was "hot" so we well have to use the private hot tub next time. (we were Happy to have the AC ) Your condo is very well equipped. It was most enjoyable to stay here. thanks for everything.

(from my guestbook) Carol and Paul, We couldn't have found a better place to stay than here. Kids loved being able to get to the village and run to other family units here. We were very comfortable and thank you for sharing your home with us. It's amazing part of BC for sure, no questions. Time for us to move back!! So close to Spruce Grove where the wedding took place too. We were here for Canada Day great day in the village. Now checking out on US DAY. Denise from California.

(from my guestbook) Enjoyed our 3 days in your lovely condo. There was everything here we could possibly need and we were very comfortable. Loved the Ziptrek and Golfing and walks into the village and trails were great. It was a great way for two couples to celebrate our anniversaries (45 years!) Marie and Gordie John and Mary

Dear Carole and Paul (from our Whistler guests book) Our Vacation in Whistler was just fantastic! We really had a wonderful time and enjoyed your very comfortable and cozy accomodation very much !! We all wish we could stay longer (written on april 8) and would not have to leave tomorrow. Being used to ski in the Alps we must admit that Whistler cannot be beaten. We very much hope to be able to return!!! Next time hopefully with a bit more sunshine and or at least less fog and snowstorm. (did they say less snowstorm in Whistler? LOL ) Although who can say to have been part of the second snowiest year on record ;) Best wishes, Thank you and AUFWIEDERSEHEN From germany.

(emailed to owner) We did our first family trip to Whistler in December 2009. Aside from my wife and I, we had two toddlers, and my parents stay at this accommodation. I found it to be a great place as there was room for the kids to play and enough TV's (with DVD players) for them to watch their movies. In addition, it had a nice homely feel to it and did not seem like the rental condos we have stayed at before. This is due to the owners taking extra special care in the decor and furnishings. Furthermore, the owners are courteous and very high on customer service. If there is an issue, they address it right away. I would stay here again, and recommend it to anyone Pavel B Vancouver

We'll be leaving the condo in a couple of hours but just wanted to let you know we had a marvelous time. The location and accommodations are great and the skiing was awesome. This is one of the first places that we actually want to return again! If we do choose to come to Whistler next year after the Olympics, we'll choose your townhome! Thanks again. Cathy

-----From our Whistler guestbook------- This Glacier's Reach townhome was an excellent vacation for us. The house was very inviting and had everything we needed for a great time in Whistler Village. Being able to walk everywhere was a definate plus! This Whistler Townhome had so much too offer I felt like I didn't need to go out! With the two flat screens and all the amenities that I needed ( private hot tub, pool, stereo), it made for a great holiday. I can't wait to come back in a couple months!
