We really enjoyed our first trip to Whistler. Outpost was wonderful to work with; very responsive and detailed. I would definitely rent with them again.
The townhome worked well, although it was on the small side for two families of 4. The downstairs bedrooms are really tight but the upstairs bedroom is more spacious. The king bed is downstairs and the queen is upstairs which doesn't make much sense given the room sizes. We would have much preferred a king upstairs. The kitchen is roomy with everything that you would need. We loved having 4 bathrooms!
The location is a solid 10 minute walk from the north village. Depending on where you want to go in the Village, you could be walking up to 40 minutes to get there.
The free bus doesn't drop you super close to the house, it's a 10 minute walk which is a consideration if you have kids, are carrying skis and are in ski boots. There is a bus that stops closer to the house but it costs money. Having a rental car helps, but you will be paying for parking every time to go to the village. If you plan to spend most your time at the house, this is a great option but if you want to spend a lot of time in the village, this may not be the best location for you.
