It can accommodate up to five guests, so your whole family can stay at an affordable price. The living area has a beautiful view on the surroundings and a fireplace will bring some warmth to your evenings.

The complex has a hot tub, in what is probably the finest location in Whistler, to which you have access. There is also underground parking, so no worry about that.

Alpine Vacation recommends this unit for a family or a small group of friends looking for the perfect and yet affordable accommodation in Whistler.
