Whistler Lakefront Log Home

Arrived at the house after over 26 hrs of travelling from the UK. The house was clean, warm and the beds were all made. The house had ample space for seven of us, all adults ranging from 17-83yrs. The kitchen had everything you need for cooking. The sitting room with the fire going in the evening was lovely. All the bedrooms are of a good size and I particularly enjoyed being able to look up at the stars at night while lying in bed. There is a good view onto the lake where we could watch ice hockey.

The instructons provided by Richard got us to the house without any mistakes. We all had a great stay and holiday and would certainly consider going back. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Ski-ing
We were ski-ing in Whistler, which is about 20-25 mins by car. Finding your way around Whistler Village can be a little difficult but go past the turn off to the village and take the next turning on the right and into lot 4, parking is free and there is a free bus that will take you to the lifts and ski hire places. I would advise that you book skis, and passes via the internet before you go.

Whistler Creekside is also good to ski from and there is an underground car park on the left as soon as you turn into Creekside, it is also free. At Creekside by the lift on the left as you look up the hill is a place called Dusty's. Great for lunch and lively.

The ski-ing is great. The slopes are much longer than Europe, steeper and faster but in January it is cold and although our jackets and trousers kept us warm our toes and fingers did get cold. Also get a helmet, our heads stayed warm with these and if you hire skis helmets come free.

We also spent a good afternoon in Vancouver. Visited the beeches near the University, had lunch at Tony's Fish and Oyster Cafe on Granville Island and a real must see the Steam Clock!!!

Our family gets together once a year and the Hunter's house in Whistler was excellent. Three bedrooms, no one complained about the beds. Kitchen had excellent quality and quantity of dishes, pots and pans, and glasses .We did bring an extra fry pan as there is just one and as we cooked for 9 it was handy. The deck was wonderful with table and chairs to sit and enjoy the view. Just a few steps to the lake with the dock right on the property. Fireplace made it cosy on one chilly evening. Lots of seating for everyone both in the living room and dining area. I highly reccomend this rental and we will be back for another visit. Not far from Whistler but quiet and serine just perfect for enjoying nature. The Stellar Blue jays were entertaining as well.

We recently spent a week at the "Whistler Lakefront Log Home" and will certainly be back.

The home was an ideal size for my wife and I along with may parents visiting the west coast. The area is very quiet with amazing views of the mountains and a very warm lake for swimming, first week of June!

Really everything you could need as long as your prepared to get away and leave the evening news behind (no cable).

The new highway to Whistler makes the drive up from Vancouver very fast (1.5 hours) and being 15 minutes from Whistler makes it close enough to enjoy the village but ensures a quiet and peaceful sleep.

The beds are very comfortable, 4 queen beds in 4 bedrooms, with top quality mattresses. The hot tub is very new and kept in top condition.

For those visiting in winter the Olympic nordic centre is just up the road with world class cross country skiing and the new Olympic ski jumps. A little further is access to Whistler skiing at Creekside.

Plenty of hiking and mountain biking areas.

The Lakefront Log Home is an ideal 4 season retreat in a safe gated estate.
