About this property

Okanagan - Northern Star

Spanning 3,200 square feet, this custom-built, mountainside chalet is perfectly positioned right next to the gondolas of Big White Mountain Ski Resort, making it the ideal staging point for your family's next vacation! Inside, the home's burnished cherrywood floors glisten under radiant natural light cascading in through the living room's large windows. You'll love spreading out on the living room sofa to catch up on a favorite novel while enjoying a glass of wine or a hot cup of tea. The home's private balcony is the perfect place to enjoy an al-fresco brunch with friends before heading out for a day on the slopes. The gourmet kitchen is a thing of beauty, with stainless steel appliances, lustrous cabinetry, miles of counter space, and lots of cookware to play around with. You'll even have a dishwasher to take care of those dirty dishes while you serve your guests at the handsome dining table that seats up to eight. After a day of winter fun, come home for a hot soak in the private hot tub with someone you love then challenge someone to a game of Ping-Pong in the downstairs game room. When it's time to wrap up the evening, you'll have four bedrooms to choose from. The upstairs main bedroom has a king-size bed, an en-suite bath, a mounted flatscreen TV, and a gas fireplace. Next door, the second bedroom has a twin-over-double bunk and the third bedroom has two twins, each room enjoying its own en-suite bath. Downstairs, the main level bedroom has a queen bed. Northern Star is an ideal place to enjoy the great Canadian outdoors, so be sure to book your next adventure today! This home is ideally located just minutes from all the restaurants and bars of Big White Mountain. You'll also be close to the village center of Big White Mountain Ski Resort, where you can enjoy easy ski access down to Lara's Gondola for a day on the slopes. Head into the village to enjoy a nice cold beer at one of the many bars & restaurants, or a Boozy Shake or hot chocolate at Black Diamond Bar & Grill.

The owner had very recently switched to a new management company, Okanagan Premier. They gave us an entry code that did not work and we began our holiday standing in the cold outside the property for 40 minutes before someone gave us a code that worked. No apology provided. Later in the stay, no communication regarding visits by maintenance for the hot tub. It would have been nice to have the welcome info. that is normally provided. The size and layout of the property itself suited our family very well.

Great Ski Vacation Property

This is a great property for a large group, lots of great amenities and close to the village. The hot tub was well maintained and checked on daily. Some of the flooring in the lower levels were pretty tired looking and few pieces of furniture were worn out, but it should be expected given it's a ski vacation rental property. Overall great stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this chalet at Big White! The property is spacious with generous room sizes, each featuring its own bathroom—perfect for a group or family. The location is unbeatable: it’s right on the hill and just a short, easy trip to the village. There’s plenty of parking, and the hot tub was well-maintained—a great way to relax after a day on the slopes. Highly recommend this chalet for an unforgettable mountain getaway!

Great rental for a ski trip!

The home is very spacious and comfortably fit our group of 8. The main floor is a great space for cooking, family dinners, and spending time together. Each bedroom having it's own bath was a very nice feature. The location of the home is also great, definitely what I would consider ski on/off. It's a very short walk (2 minutes) to a trail that can take you either to the village gondola or down to the Ridge Rocket chair. Same short walk home from the trail at the end of the day. There were some issues with cleanliness in the home (cobwebs throughout, garage was very muddy, etc) and the BBQ grill was in an unusable state. Overall we really enjoyed our time and would book again, but would like to see the hosts attend to some of the issues given the price.

March Ski Trip

The check in process is fine if you are able to arrive exactly at 4:00pm. Our flights came in at 12:00pm and we arrived in Big White at 1:00pm and we were told they cannot accommodate early drop off of our luggage. Generally it was clean, we were missing a top sheet for both bunk beds. The floors on the main floor and bottom floor didn’t look like they were vacuumed. There were chip crumbs on the main floor and dirt and stones on the bottom floor. There wasn’t any dish detergent or dish soap, so when I asked for some I was told that the home doesn’t come with dish soap, which is wild. They did give it to us after I pressed the issue. If you are given a number to text guest services for any issues don’t even bother, it’s not helpful. Just call the number that is displayed above the garage door. The VRBO itself is big and spacious. Having the hot tub was great! It is not a true ski in/ski out but it is a short walk to the hill and village. The VRBO was almost exactly as advertised except the foosball table is broken and ping pong net and paddles are broken so you can’t use those. Ultimately this is not a bad place to stay but taking into account the issues we had compared to cost of the VRBO we went with three stars.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Mar, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. We are glad to hear that you found our home and enjoyed the hot tub, but we are truly sorry to learn about the issues you encountered. We understand how frustrating it can be when early luggage drop-off isn’t accommodated, especially after a long journey. We appreciate your patience regarding the missing top sheets and the cleanliness concerns you mentioned. We will ensure that our housekeeping team is made aware of these details to improve our service moving forward. Regarding the dish soap, we apologize for the inconvenience you faced. It’s our goal to provide all necessary supplies for a comfortable stay, and we are glad you were able to get some after raising the issue. Your feedback about the guest services number is also noted, and we will pass this along to our team to ensure we can improve our communication channels. We are sorry to hear about the broken football table and ping pong equipment as well. We strive to provide accurate listings, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide a more seamless experience.
