Whistler Alpine Chalet Retreat & Wellness

Our group of friends ski together annually, have traveled dozens of times to various rental properties in Canada/US over 15 years and do quite a bit of research before selecting a property. In selecting this property, we expected a luxury experience -- it was not. We obviously made mistakes wrt the quality of the property and the owner's business moral compass. Upon check in, keys were left under a side door mat, not the lockbox as previously communicated to us. Surprising to see the non-modernized bathrooms, bedrooms and living room. Kitchen is fine for a small family but not the advertised larger groups of 10 or more. The Internet is barely strong enough anywhere in the house to get weather forecasts on a web browser. Streaming Internet entertainment at night like HBO or NetFlix in the living room, forget about it. Nearly 8 weeks after my friends left the house in great condition - and left a pair of ski gloves there too with no owner outreach - we have yet to receive any of our damage $$ deposit back. No gloves either. Silver lining is that the nearby lake location for snowshoeing is very walkable. Neither Whistler nor Blackcomb are walkable in any way though as advertised on the write up.

We arrived in Vancouver to find that our family of 17 could not use the large home we had rented 6 months previously because the company had mysteriously "over-booked". I tried everything to find another home, but it was a holiday week. Someone suggested Whistler. I found the alpine chalet on line and gave it a call. Mr. Hari answer and worked with me. Got the place cleaned and allowed us to rent for two nights. Last minute, accommodating, AND it was perfect ! My 6 grandchildren thought it was wonderful, my four daughters and their husbands were surprised and SO happy to have this experience Everyone had their own bedroom, the kitchen was large enough for our large family, and the dining room perfect! The children loved the yoga room, we used the outside to gather at night and the lake was right down the street This last minute booking ended up being a memory we won't forget Zip line, dirt bike AND a beautiful setting. If you are looking for a large home and lots of bedrooms, this is the place. Comfortable, easy, accommodating. Upstairs did get a bit warm, but fans helped. Thanks Mr. Hari

The Chalet does have 10 bedrooms, each with own bathroom. Some rooms are very nice, some not and very small. The kitchen is great equipped and huge. The central living room is the heart of the facility, with a nice fire place and cosy chairs. It has big parking space for a couple of cars and a hot top outdoor on terrace, not visible from outside. Between living room and terrace is a big eating area for about 20 people. This location is fantastic for a group of travelers who like sports, eating & hanging out together in the evening. Cars are needed to get to different place. To Whistler central square you will have to walk about 15 min.
