    10 Whimsical Whistler Vacation Homes Near The Ski Slopes

    William Stupp
    September 24, 2022

    Bigger doesn’t always mean better, but it often does. Such is the case with Whistler, North America’s largest ski resort is also its best. That’s according to Ski Magazine, whose readers are consistently polled on which resort they think is number one in the world. Whistler has won many times and never fails to reach the top 10.

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    People don’t just love Whistler for its incredible ski area. The town is also known for its fantastic dining options and delightful après scene (Ski Magazine readers also tend to rate Whistler number one in this category). Even those who do not ski will appreciate the incredible beauty of British Columbia’s mountains and the town’s other appealing attractions. Even outside the winter season, Whistler shines as a radiant destination.

    What’s more, Whistler has some incredible accommodations, a selection of which are described below. Most of the homes on this list are genuine ski-in/ski-out properties, meaning you needn’t walk for more than a couple of minutes (if that) before you’re able to step in and shred. The ultimate convenience!

    So here they are, 10 incredible Vrbo vacation rentals in Whistler to serve you during your next ski trip. Find the one that’s right for you and yours and discover why Whistler is a world-beating paradise for skiers and their families. 

    Note that the prices listed cover dates during the spring ski season and actual costs vary substantially throughout the year.

    Affordable Home 100 Yards From The Lifts$260.84/nightly avg

    This splendid home demonstrates the principle that luxury and comfort need not break the bank. Walk out the front door of your townhouse, step into your skis, and find yourself at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in under 5 minutes. The master bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has a bunk bed (a twin mattress atop a double). The living room is small, but has a stone fireplace, flatscreen TV, and a comfortable sofa bed. What’s more, the dining room table comfortably sits six. For added pleasure, serve up something freshly grilled using the outdoor grill located near the covered hot tub.

    Everything we needed was in the condo. It was nice to come home in the evening and soak in the hot tub! Wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to return soon!
    We really enjoyed our staff. The townhouse complex was super quiet. Home was clean and well equipped. Only thing was the floor heat wasn’t working. The hot tub was a super nice touch at the end of the night.
    Had a fantastic weekend here. Kitchen was well equipped, hot tub was on point and the location was perfect for us as we had an event in blackcomb village.
    It was a great experience
    This was our 4th stay at this property. Absolutely love this space, it has everything one could need.It’s casual, comfortable and stress free.

    We loved staying in this condo at Alpine Greens, it seemed to be recently renovated and was incredibly comfortable & an enjoyable home to relax on holidays. Will definitely book our winter break here!
    Gorgeous large open living space. Felt very private with windows looking onto green space and trees. Location not the best as outside village and about 20minute walk, shuttle outside building though. Size of suite definitely made up for the location. Only gave 4 stars for listing of info and communication bc the listing was removed soon after we booked and I could not see any info on unit. Manager got back quick with any questions I had. Overall great stay !
    This is a great property overlooking a piece of the golf course. The place was lovely and clean, the property manager got us checked in early and followed us with us. We would definatly stay here again.
    The accommodation was great, spacious and very comfortable. Our only complaint is that the dishwasher didn’t work very well and the dishes in the cupboard were not clean when we arrived. Otherwise a great stay.
    A welcome retreat, offering privacy and views of trees and mountain. We loved the hikes and easy walks into the village followed by relaxing in the open living room with its vaulted ceiling. The house is set up perfectly to enjoy skiing, cooking great meals and cocooning with family. Loved it!

    Ski-In/Ski-Out Chalet At Whistler Creek$398.36/nightly avg

    This duplex in Whistler Creek has incredible views, spacious interiors, and stylish furnishings. Best of all, it has ski-in/ski-out access to the creekside gondola. The layout consists of four half levels and floors separated by several steps. This means that inhabitants of each of the three bedrooms will enjoy a high degree of privacy. The master bedroom, with its beautiful ensuite bathroom and spa bath is definitely the highlight, but the other bedrooms are comfortable as well. There are also three separate balconies, each blessed with mountain views.

    The place was great. Bubbles upon arrival which was such a delight!Clean and Sean was a breeze to communicate with.Highly recommended and we will be booking again
    Great location with close access to all paths, amenities and whistler village. Property was clean, quiet and had lovely scenery. Would highly recommend!
    Very clean and well maintained, everything you might need for a short stay had been though of, and is available in the unit. Two parking spaces is a nice catch one is covered and the next one is at the entrance of the complex. The manager is well-communicating in a timely manner via email. The instructions sent by email prior to our trip was very instructive and informative. Some drawbacks though, first there is no portable AC or fan in the unit. Second the living and dinning area has no window blind or curtain to avoid overheating the place during summer. The location is a 10-15 minutes driv away from the village. But overall I recommend this place for travelers who can easily drive.
    The place was great. The location is great. The host is very welcoming and left champagne and drinks to kick start our wonderful vacation. If we visit again in the area we will look forward to staying again at the same place.
    Nice 3 bedroom , easy for six adults, Owner was very responsive to all our needs.

    Would recommend this property to other friends and family members.
    Excellent
    The property is in a great location, is roomy and well appointed. I would definitely stay there again.That said, there were a few inconveniences. Notably, the bottom drawer of the dishwasher is broken and the kitchen faucet has only one setting – full blast! Both of these things made clean up a challenge. We were in the unit for 2.5 weeks and wouldn’t have been concerned with these small things in shorter stay. But for a long stay, it got a little tiresome.Other than that- loved our time!
    Would rent again.
    The home is perfect for families or friends gathering. Great location and the management company is fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend.

    Amazing, clean, and bright residence. Comfy beds, lots of space for 6 to 8 people. Loved our stay!
    Beautiful townhouse. Well stocked with kitchen supplies. Very quick answers from the owner.
    Fantastic property and location. Jeff was exceptional with communication and making sure we had everything we needed to ensure we were comfortable. The kitchen is well set up with utensils and equipment, super comfortable beds and easy access to slope and garage. Thanks Jeff for a brilliant holiday!
    Fantastic experience! Great communication with owner. Location is great, very short walk to ski in/out. The interior is absolutely amazing…. Just remodeled and beautifully decorated. Great touches including real wood fireplace with plenty of wood supplied. Fire was even set up and ready to go with touch of a match upon check-in. Kitchen perfectly outfitted. Lots of cleaning supplies. We’ve stayed at various places over 20 years visiting WB, this one has by far been the best. Immediately booked next year the day after we checked in!
    Location was perfect and the communication with Jeff was smooth and responsive. Unfortunately the buses were on strike while we were there but it was great being able to access the lifts within 100 ft of the front door.

In terms of sleeping space, The Heights has two king rooms, a downstairs room fitted with queen and bunk beds, and a fourth room with a single/double bunk bed and trundle bed. The home has four bathrooms, two of which have bathtubs, so everyone can enjoy an après ski soak even when the hot tub is in use.

    Creekside Ski-In/Ski-Out Chalet$1,112.59/nightly avg

    A remarkable house rental in a remarkable ski town, a stay at this chalet in Whistler Creek all but guarantees an incredible vacation. A group of 13 friends can spread out across this 3,000-square-foot property; there are comfortable corners for everyone. The great room has suitably high ceilings, splendid Whistler mountain views, and furniture which, like the rough wooden beams, are both functional and stylish. The master bedroom has a beautiful four-poster bed and an elegant ensuite bathroom that anyone would be pleased to call their own. The other four bedrooms offer stiff competition, however. Two also have ensuites while one of the queen rooms shares a washroom with the bunk room.

    Pinnacle Ridge #34$1,939.46/nightly avg

    Just four houses will stand between you and the lifts should you stay at this house on Pinnacle Ridge. This means more time on the slopes. Of course, no ski vacation is spent entirely on the mountain. Downtime between ski sessions will hardly feel like a burden amid these luxurious surroundings. The living room has high ceilings, comfortable and stylish furniture, and a beautiful fireplace. The whole place is filled with beautiful wood paneling. There’s also a pool table and the balcony has a suitably private hot tub. Each bedroom is a true stunner, so no one misses out on round-the-clock luxury.

    Northern Lights$2,190.58/nightly avg

    Another excellent option for a large group planning the ultimate ski trip, this house in Whistler Village will not disappoint. It can be reached on skis and getting to the lifts at the start of your day requires a 10-minute walk. The home has four splendid bedrooms. The cozy downstairs den can become a fifth bedroom thanks to a Murphy bed. The main living room is upstairs and boasts a fireplace, plenty of space, and a large retractable screen for projecting your favorite films. Naturally, the home has a hot tub. It is a large one that fits up to eight people and has sightlines to the television. The walk back to the home involves a steep hill which some guests may struggle with, but the home has a large garage should you drive. Whistler is, in any case, well served by taxis.

    Excellent location very close to the main village. There is quite a steep hill up to the property, so the grandparents staying with us did need help going up and down (via car). Huge place with lots of space for everyone. Excellent kitchen with lots of plates/utensils/appliances. Very handy to have a washer and dryer. Lots of thoughtful details. There was a lot of tech (eg auto lights and toilet seats) that took a little getting used to. The best part was the great room which had a table that easily accomodated our large group. So nice to be able to host a large extended family group all together. Overall we had a great time at this property.
    Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home, close to the village.It had a well equipped kitchen, and was very cozy in a beautiful setting nestled around trees. Management was great with check-in and check out.
    This is a great location for a large group wanting to ski and spend quality time with friends. We had a group pf 10 friends that all went to enjoy some spring skiing and celebrate three of our birthdays. We were able to go out in the village and get to the slopes easily. We would often walk to the village during the day and get taxis at night since there are several S turns down the road you have to walk down to get to the village. We found Taxis were the easiest to use at night to go out and return home. Also note that the neighborhood has a 10PM quiet time policy. There is an incredible SONOS sound system built into the house with some good base, but since the house is a duplex style home the neighbors will feel the base too. Avoid our mistake of bugging the neighbors and either turn down the volume at 10PM or turn stop using the system. The hot tub is also an incredible feature since it is very large which worked great after a long day of skiing. I definitely recommend this location and we will likely consider it again for future group ski vacations!

    Massive House With Ski Access To Both Gondolas$4,553.81/nightly avg

    You’ll have no trouble filling this luxurious home with eager skiers — everyone will want to join in the fun at this great location. The most dedicated skiers will revel in the ski-in/ski-out access to both of Whistler’s base gondolas; everyone will appreciate being walking distance to the village for dining and the home’s glamorous furnishings. The vaulted ceilings in the great room seem as high as Rainbow Mountain (which is visible through most windows) and the marble countertops are as beautiful as any bluff or monolith in the Fitzsimmons Range. No one will lose out in this large group vacation rental as every bedroom is a grand affair (there are two kings, four queens, and two kids’ rooms stacked with bunk beds).

    You couldn’t ask for a better location, house or host! We will definitely stay here again. 🙂
    What an incredible place to stay! This is truly ski in and out. The property itself is beautiful and everything you could possibly ever need or imagine. The beds were extremely comfortable and all guests raved about the sleeping situation. The location doesn’t get any better. This is EXACTLY where you want to be. To top it all off, what a truly wonderful host. Everything was so effortless from start to finish. The support and level of care toward our group was exceptional. Thank you for making our trip so wonderful and we will definitely be back!
    A large group of 18 guys rented these two adjacent villas, and our experience could not have been better. Our villa owner, Sabina, was absolutely awesome, and catered to our every need. We found a wonderful selection of goodies and beverages awaiting us, and the two villas were simply over-the-top! One villa is a modern “mountain” theme, while the other is a more contemporary style. We loved both villas. Both have the exact same bedroom/bedding layout, which worked great for our group. Because of the family mix, we requested that each villa have an extra memory foam mattress on the floor of the upstairs master, and they worked fabulously…very comfortable. The bunk rooms are quite comfortable, even for a 6’4″ guy, and provided plenty of space and easy access. The hot tubs are immaculate, and the fireplaces are easy to light, with plenty of firewood. The location is truly ski in/ski out with very easy access to two gondolas. Just purchase your Epic passes, and skip the lift ticket lines for the entire visit. Our owner host, Sabina, was the greatest! We had to re-book our 2021 planned trip due to COVID, and she made it easy and simple. I just cannot say enough good things about these accommodations. We had a blast and would definitely go back again.
    A wonderful property. Truly Ski in and Ski out off an easy trail. The owner, property manager, and cleaning staff were friendly, helpful, and focused on making my family’s stay as enjoyable as possible. This property is one of the nicest homes that I have stayed with VRBO. I highly recommend this property.
    We rented these dual properties for a large family reunion, originally planned for summer 2020. These plans were deferred due to COVID 19 travel restrictions (we were coming from the US, and the border was closed). The property manager was wonderful in rescheduling this visit. As the pandemic continues, and the border closure persists, we have been forced to postpone our visit yet another year. Sabina as been very accommodating. We hope to use these properties when the border opens. I cannot say enough good things about the property management – please support those working in tourism and support this owner!
