Good Digs for Families
Attractive, and convenient for families: such are the keywords for the hundreds of townhomes for rent in Whistler.
Typically, your unit will have a living room with gas fireplace, dining area, fully equipped kitchen (including utensils, toaster, you name it), laundry, downstairs bathroom, upstairs bathroom, and one or two bedrooms upstairs.
In April, my kids swam in the outdoor pool, while the hot-tub was a magnet for the kid-less set. At this property, the Northstar at Stoney Creek, prices startedat approximately $160 per night for 1-bedrooms, $270 for 2 bedrooms, during the winter season-- higher in February and March. (Always check for current prices!)
Free shuttle buses run constantly, to take you from your lodgings to the gondolas.
A nearby mini-mall, Marketplace Centre, has a well-equipped grocery store and an un-MacDonald's looking MacDonald's!
Can you spot those subtle golden arches? Next door is a sushi establishment, and on the ground floor, the video rental joint. All the comforts of home...
This mini-mall is on the outskirts of the car-free village, where you can walk to over 300 shops and restaurants. The walk is pleasant but considerable: take a stroller for little ones.
Other areas of Whistler offer ski-in/ski-out townhomes, and deluxe home rentals; and of course there are hundreds of hotel rooms in Whistler Village, most with kitchen facilities. To arrange accommodation at Whistler, visit the Tourism Whistler or Whistler-Blackcomb websites and check the many options: homes and chalets, hotels and lodges, bed-and-breakfasts, inns, etc. Or call 1-800-WHISTLER or 1-888-284-9999.
