We (my spouse and I) have found the perfect place to stay in Whister, and we can't imagine ever staying anywhere else! This is a comfortable and stylish unit, and very quiet. And yet, within minutes we could be on the gondola up the slopes. Or, at a well-stocked and friendly grocery store. Or on a beautiful walk to a number of places to eat. One of the owners met us and made sure we knew where to shop, where to get on the hill, where to put our skis, where to park, where to get cash, etc. He made us feel at home.
And, this unit was as close to home as any I've had--we needed nothing in the kitchen. The cookware was excellent, as were the knives. There were placemats and cloth napkins, plenty of dish towels, etc. I really appreciated the natural dishwashing soap, laundry and bath soaps. Upon entering the unit, I could tell immediately that there were no harsh (and smelly!) chemicals used.
The master bed was so comfortable and the linens were luxurious. The towels were thick and absorbent--reflecting the thoughtful attention to detail the owners had in outfitting their place.
We loved the views from the windows--and that we could shut the shades at night!
The unit is immaculate, and we felt as if we were one of the first guests. Everything was in perfect shape.
Even though we skied nearly every day we were there, my husband and I both had to work also. Fortunately, there was a desk in the oversized master bedroom for me to work, and my husband could spread out on the dining room table (and there still was room for us have dinner!).
If I had one wish, it would have been to have a mat just inside the front door for wet boots or ski boots. We don't wear shoes at home, and we don't like wearing shoes when we are at other homes, especially one with as nice of floors as this one! We did just fine with a bathmat, but hope the owners will think of something clever--as there are so many other clever touches throughout the unit (the lighting on the stairwell!).
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying their time at Whistler if they stay here!
