Whistler Lodging Website
One thing I like to do more than anything else is ski. This year we are looking to try someplace new. Some friends told me Whistler offers some of the best skiing around so I have been searching the web looking for accommodations and found a great website.
If you are thinking of heading up to Whistler and are looking for some Whistler accommodation you should check out Holiday Whistler. Whistler has an amazing selection of different rental properties and you really need good advice on where to stay, especially on the trade-off between ski-in, ski-out properties and those in or very near the Village. (Tip from my freinds: the very best locations have both ski-in, ski-out and just a 2 minute walk to the Village – look for Snowy Creek or Telemark – but these are very sought-after and have a price tag to go with it.)
Anyway there are loads of websites offering rentals in Whistler, but this is the best one I found. All the homes have plenty of pics so you can see what you are getting and it is very informative about what each home is really like. I ended up staying in Cedar Ridge 17: just above the Village, but near enough to walk down for dinner in the evenings, and right on the edge of the slopes. It had a great private hot tub and a fantastic kitchen and was really well-equipped.
Whistler seems to be hot again after a couple of years when it lost a bit of popularity, so if you want your choice of unit you should book well in advance. I also liked the feature that Holiday Whistler offers which is a hefty discount for long stays; this is built right into their pricing algorithm, so you don’t have to negotiate if you are staying for more than a week.
Anyway, this site is the best place for Whistler lodging; chalets, condos, townhomes etc.: they’ve go them all.
