Whistler is centered around the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, and connected by the world-record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, which gives visitors access to the area’s renowned alpine terrain. In winter, visitors can ski, snowboard, snowshoe and go tubing on more than 200 marked runs. In spring, summer and fall, adventure seekers can go white-water rafting, hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking. Whistler is located on the unceded territory of the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations, and steeped in indigenous history and culture. Explore the wild mountains of Canada and stay in one of these great vacation rentals – all bookable on Culture Trip.

Alpenglow Lodge by MountainView – Queen Boho Studio, for romantic charm

A small sitting room featuring dark wooden table, gray soft furnishings, a glass coffee table and a cosy gas fire.

With its faux-fur throws and pillows, fireplace and three-seater bar, the Queen Boho Studio at Alpenglow Lodge is so charming that couples will certainly want to add it to their list of weekend getaways. Warm-looking wood detailing stands out against the slate-gray of the fireplace, adding to the sleek modern look. This smoke-free hotel – which features an outdoor pool, spa tub and sauna – is just steps away from the slopes, shopping and Whistler’s high-energy nightlife.

Legends Whistler, for the love of skiing

A snow-covered ski lodge nestles at the bottom of a ski run, with multiple wooden buildings surrounding two outdoor pools.

Snow lovers will appreciate the ski-in/ski-out access from their own condo at Legends, located in Whistler Creekside. Legends guests are less than a minute’s walk away from the Creekside Gondola and all the winter sports they could desire, while in summer, the lodge provides direct access to the alpine hiking and mountain-biking trails. Legends rents out one-, two- and three-bedroom suites overlooking the famous “Dave Murray” ski run, where the 2010 Winter Olympics Alpine events took place.

The Aspens by Whiski Jack, for central convenience

A cosy apres-ski lounge featuring toboggans and skiis on the walls, deep, black leather couches and a stone fireplace with glowing logs inside.

The Aspens are just steps away from the outdoor playground that is Whistler/Blackcomb. Featuring one-and-two-bedroom condos in the Upper Village, the Aspens is located near the base of Blackcomb Mountain and close to shops, restaurants and the apres-ski scene Whistler Village is so popular for. A year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tub and exercise room are also great options for unwinding after a day on the mountain. Each of the 11 rooms includes a fireplace and balcony, and ski and bike storage is also available.

Evolution Whistler, for snowy hot tub nights

A sprawling snow-covered wooden ski lodge sits at the bottom of a beautiful tree-lined mountain.

An open floor plan gives Evolution Whistler suites a light, bright spacious feel, while their sophisticated design and full kitchens – with high-end appliances – make these units functional as well as fabulous. The modern, chic lodge offers one-and-two-bedroom suites, as well as a three-bedroom suite, to choose from, and a media room offers movies twice a day. You haven’t experienced evenings in Whistler until you’ve enjoyed a glass of wine in Evolution’s outdoor heated pool – or one of its two hot tubs – while watching snowflakes float down around you.

Valhalla Vacations at Whistler, for an easy getaway

A tarmac road bends through sparse woodland, flanked by snowy banks and wooden ski lodges on both sides.

Valhalla Vacations is located in popular Village North, which includes shops, restaurants and easy access to the mountains. Each condo in this smoke-free building features a fireplace and deep bathtub, perfect for an apres-ski soak. An outdoor hot tub also welcomes guests to take a break and relax. The free village shuttle is a two-minute walk away and the trip to the ski lifts takes less than five minutes.

Whistler Superior Properties, for cozy balcony views

A wooden ski lodge in summer, with mountain peaks glancing over the roof, and a grassy bank out the front.

Whistler Superior Properties offers 80 different accommodations with a convenient ski shuttle service to the slopes. But those who want to skip the mountains for a day can take advantage of the ski storage and snuggle up in front of the fireplace in their apartment. Rooms open to balconies or patios and include sofa beds to better accommodate families or small groups. Whistler Superior Properties is located in Village North – a neighborhood in Whistler popular for its proximity to all the village has to offer.

Town Plaza by MountainView, for a stay among the action

A small hotel room with a double bed featuring white linens and a geometric, monochrome cushion, and a wide window with a view of beautiful conifer trees.

Town Plaza is located in Village North, a short walk from Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort and its adjacent shops, pubs, restaurants and exciting nightlife, with a concierge service available to help guests make the most out of their stay. A fireplace and spa-style bathtub promise guests a resort-inspired experience. A well-appointed kitchen allows guests to cook for themselves, but the fact they are minutes from a world of award-winning restaurants means they probably won’t want to. A fitness center is also included in this smoke-free building.

Belle Neige Suites Whistler, for a quiet retreat from the bustling village

A contemporary, gray ski lodge with large windows, is surrounded by snowy conifer trees.

For anyone seeking a calm place to rest their head in Whistler, Belle Neige Suites is the place. Located just seven minutes from Whistler Village, these private non-smoking suites are based in a quiet neighborhood close to the Valley Trail. The long-term, local hosts are backcountry ski enthusiasts, downhill ski instructors, avid hikers and worldwide travelers. Guests receive a complimentary Bike Park Pass or Peak-2-Peak Sightseeing Day Pass with their stay — while supplies last, of course.

Montebello by Whistler Premier, for truly Canadian spirit

A cosy apre-ski lounge with mauve corner sofa, gas fire, geometric rug and wide-screen television, and mountain views from its triangular window.

Guests looking for a little Canadiana will experience a True North vibe at Montebello, surrounded by fireplaces, wood features and rooms that open to balconies or patios, with many offering forest views. Outside, a hot tub helps guests unwind after a day spent skiing, snowboarding or snowshoeing in the winter, or mountain-biking and hiking in the summer. A full kitchen means guests can make breakfast in their suite before heading out on an all-day adventure – or enjoy a home-cooked meal once they return.

Mountain Star by Whistler Retreats, for morning coffee overlooking the mountains

A large wooden ski lodge with red doors and dusted with snow, sits in a wooded area, surrounded by mountain peaks.

Along with laundry facilities, each of the six units in this smoke-free vacation home have a patio or balcony where guests can breathe in fresh mountain air – or drink coffee until they’re awake enough to tackle the slopes. Full kitchens and barbecues offer an alternative option to eating out every night, and a fireplace and spa-style bathtub in each suite gives them an upscale look and feel.
