Wow. We've been coming to Whistler since 2009 and have stayed in many different places. From hotels, to houses in Blackcomb to Creekside we've seen it all. Kathleen's condo was far and above the best place we've stayed.
It was stocked very well, the kitchen had real pots and pans, little stuff like measuring spoons, coffee grinder and the best part...the knives were actually sharp!
The house was nicely decorated, spacious and a great place to hangout...it really had a home vibe not a hotel room kind of feel to it.
Linens - we've all slept on the cheap plastic linens where you wake up in the cold sweat...not at this place. Real cotton towels and sheets allow you to sleep well after a long day of outdoor adventure - absolute delight after it seems most places have gone the super cheap synthetic route.
Location - doesn't get any better...less than 5 minute walk to the village and SUPER quiet and low key. I didn't even know this neighborhood existed, it was great. Don't fear that its a middle unit...the light was great and air flow was very good.
Finally it would be a miss not to mention the DVD collection - for my wife and I this was a total throwback as I've not watched a DVD in many years...it was awesome. The constraint of choices was super fun and the movies the host has were all great. We had a blast watching movies that have not been on our radar for a long time.
Thank you Kathleen - we had an amazing stay and hope to be back soon again.
