Luxury Ski in/out Mountainside Townhouse with Private Hot Tub

Not true ski-out. The walk to the ski-out trail is down the street and I would estimate it at less than 150 yards/meters. The ski-in trail leads you out of the woods a few units away and is relatively close. The condo is in a beautiful location in the treetops with large nicely decorated unit but it is beginning to show its age. The beds were among the most comfortable I have slept in and the private hot tub was excellent. We enjoyed reading the guest book as well.

There were nice touches with a greeting card and candy. We enjoyed having the essentials such as salt and pepper, sugar, paper products, etc. but there was no complimentary coffee. The full size bath products were a plus but towels in the master had holes in them and one was slightly dirty.

The kitchen was the biggest issue and is what initially caught my attention as very dirty: filthy dishes were put away in the cabinets as if they were clean, lipstick on the glasses, dirty cooking utensils and pans, the floor and microwave were covered in grease, condiments in the refrigerator were expired.

I chose to book this unit based on previous reviews which were all very positive so I am not sure what happened. Perhaps the cleaning service has changed or the owner hasn't been to the unit in a while to see the condition it is in, there were a lot of DIY repairs that need attention (sink fixture, caulking, blind cords, heater knobs, unfinished ceiling paint, thermostat covers taped shut etc.) not deal breakers by any means but not 5 star. The clothes dryer is a heat pump style and would not dry our clothes on any setting.

We tried to take out the trash but the trash house was locked and there was no sign of any keys. If I didn't have to clean the kitchen before cooking I would have given up to 4 stars.

We had a wonderful & cosy stay at Highcamp. Loved the log fire, well stocked kitchen, hot tub and convenience of ski in/out.

We had a 4yr old who had only skiied a few days and she managed to ski between our legs on the ski in/out for a few days and then she could do it on her own.

Kids enjoyed the books and there were lots of bathroom products available which was so convenient.

Damian was super friendly and responsive to a few things we needed, thank you.

FYI we were not able to hire a 4WD big enough for our family of 6 so we had to have a Dodge minivan and on one occasion we couldn’t get back to the accommodation from Creekside after some decent snowfall so a 4WD would be a safer option. Having said that, we parked down the road, walked home in the snow which was a fun adventure and easily retrieved the car the next day so it was no problem.

Thanks for the amazing memories, Whistler was incredible!

We had a terrific week at Highcamp. I cannot say enough good things about the owners and the condo. It was so nice to stay in a condo where the owners make sure you enjoy their home as much as they do. It wasn't a soulless rental where everything was done on the cheap. There were loads of towels. Not thin skimpy towels, but nice fluffy towels. They don't skimp on the paper products which was another bonus. There is a great coffee pot and filters, plus an espresso machine. Even tons of different baggies, foil, and plastic wrap. There are basic spices and even some condiments in the fridge. There is an ample supply of cutlery, plates, glasses, pots and pans, etc. And there is a ton of soap, shampoo and conditioner. I have stayed in so many condos where you cannot find something you need to make a proper meal. The hot tub right on the deck outside of the master bedroom is just what we needed after a long day of skiing. To ski in and out is just a short walk down the road to the trail. If you have beginner skiers who cannot ski narrow trails, you might want to consider driving down to the base to park and ride the gondola up. They even have a book with restaurant recommendations. The owners are fantastic and answered all of my questions regardless of how many I asked or how silly they were. I would highly recommend Highcamp and will return if I find myself heading out to Whistler again!

We had a very enjoyable stay. The owners were very helpful, even calling us the morning we left to make sure everything went well. The property is just as advertised. I would definitely rent this property again.

Highcamp is the perfect place for your dream vacation in Whistler. We stayed with friends for several days in January and had a wonderful time. The cabin is exactly what we were looking for in a ski getaway – rustic, cozy, gorgeous views.

The cabin is just minutes away from the resort base and village, but it’s tucked into the forest so it seems like you are a world away. Relax by the fire, sip hot chocolate on the patio, and sooth your muscles in a private hot tub.

Jim is the consummate remote host and provides everything you need to have a great time – including a book of restaurant and bar recommendations, food delivery menus and suggestions on what to do.

I highly recommend this comforting mountain retreat!
