We live in Seattle, Washington, USA, but we spend as much time as we can in this very special place that we love. We have vacationed in Whistler since the early 90's, and finally, after several years of searching, bought our home here in 2002. Our boys, ages 7 and 13, have learned to ski here. We know a myriad of details about the village and the mountains in both the winter and summer seasons; please ask!
We pride ourselves on great customer service. We will follow up your Email or phone inquiries within 24 hours.

Holly, we had a great week - the condo was perfect for our needs and we LOVED being so close to the slopes! Would have been nice if there was some new snow, but you can't control the weather, so we 'suffered' with blue skies and beautiful views almost every day! Again, thanks for letting us invade your home - we really enjoyed it.

Holly, We had a wonderful time. The snow and skiing conditions were perfect. I honestly can’t think of any suggestions to make your place any better. We really loved it. Hopefully we’ll make it back next year. Best regards,

What a pleasure to stay in such a highly organised "bolt hole". Your "Welcome to Whistler" file was useful and informative. Love the art works and photographs dotted about the place. We had a restful and relaxing holiday. Thank you all.

Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us! We really enjoyed our vacation. It was the perfect place to cook Thanksgiving dinner and the kids loved the room downstairs.

Hi Holly, I just wanted to drop you a note thanking you. We had a great time at your home in Whistler and will be back sometime soon. Once we got past the rockslide, everything went just fine. We even made it up there on time to get the kids in their lessons that day. Thank you for your heads up call though…that saved us a huge hassle.

Dear Holly, We are back home on Vancouver Island after a very enjoyable stay at your condo. We would certainly stay again and would not hesitate to recommend your place to others. We were particularly impressed with your thoughtfulness in providing all the extras- the toiletries, the DVDs and videos, the books, magazines, games and Nintendo, as well as the cupboard that was full of staples. It was also a pleasant surprise to find that all our linens had been changed half-way through and that you were easily available by email if problems occurred. I should also point out that the tone of your emails is both friendly and welcoming which adds a great deal to the concept of 'visiting' your home. Thank you for a splendid holiday. Norm, Cheryl, Jim, Janet, Gordon & Gregory
