The Best Vacation Rentals to Book in Whistler, Canada

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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
