A Bit of Whistler up at Mt Washington

Last minute specials for summer! Longer you stay - better the rate.
Inquire through the portal.....

Shhh! Mt Washington is one of Vancouver Island's best kept secrets. This family oriented ski hill boasted the 2nd largest snow pack during the 2010 Olympics. Mt Washington is easily accessible driving directly from Victoria, BC , or it is a quick trip over on the ferry from the mainland. During the summer it is a destination for hikers and mountain bikers as they explore the slopes of the mountain or the world renowned Strathcona Park. During the winter it is a magical snowy wonderland.

This beautiful new and modern townhouse offers families a wonderful place to relax. Located perfectly between the cross country lodge and the alpine resort, this drive-in, ski-out townhouse is a treat. Views of Strathcona Park dazzle non skiers and skiers alike. In the winter the home is perfectly set up for families who can quickly escort their children right across the street to the nearest chair lift, and quickly back again for apres ski when the day is done.

In the summer you can dine 'al fresco' on the patio after a day of hiking, fishing or biking and revel in the peace and serenity offered. Ample storage is available in the garage to store all the toys you like to travel with.

This unit is one of two available ( side by side) for rent. Perfect for summer weddings and Christmas celebrations.
Well equipped, comfortable beds and 12 foot ceilings, this spacious townhouse will provide one of the most wonderful bases for your family vacation. Enjoy!!

Great Family Ski Trip

We had a great, relaxing time at the property. Plenty of space for 6 of us (grandparent, parents, and two small kids). The Hawk chair is a mere 150m away, making it super convenient to ski without driving anywhere. The house had all the amenities and plenty of toys for the kids. Thank you Samantha for the hospitality!

Great family house

We rented this townhouse for our wedding weekend. It has everything you could want. It’s very spacious, with plenty of sleeping spaces, we just have 1 child but could’ve squeezed in lots more! This is just down the road from The Raven Lodge, it was a great location for us. Samantha was very responsive to any need we had. This is a great family home, it has a ping pong table that was a huge hit, and also an amazing ‘kids zone’ on the top floor. Beware tho, there’s a lot of stairs! You will feel the burn by day 3 of going up and down 😊

A Happy Christmas

We enjoyed staying at this property a lot - a fun way to get everybody together for Christmas. The weather on Mount Washington was terrible, but that wasn’t our host’s fault. Fortunately, there was lots to do in and around the house, games, movies and fun things to take our minds off the fact that snow sports were out of the question.

Ideal get-away!

The property was exactly what we were looking for - lots of space, great for kids (lots of books, games, places to hide from parents) and everything we needed was there. Ideal location close to the Hawk chairlift; it was easy to use the magic carpets to get our kids to the ski lessons and easy for us to get on the mountain for our own skiing. Place was clean, well organized and had comfy beds. Fully recommend it!

Fantastic accommodation with wonderful host!

We were pleasantly surprised to find the already attractive pictures did not actually give the full scale of the accommodation. We found it much larger than the pictures portrayed it. There was so much space to have our family gather and not feel like we were in each others space the whole time. The house was brilliantly equipt with anything you might need from a games room in the garage to plenty of toys and play spaces for young kids. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare a christmas dinner and the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. The host was very quick to communicate and accommodate us when our plans had small changes beyond our control. I would happily stay here again. Thanks very much!

Comfortable, convenient, well equipped

We spent 4 nights with our son, his wife and a grandchild. Perfect setup. Layout is great for socializing but also offers privacy. Casual, not fancy, but laid back and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen, including spices! Tons of books, toys. And generally cool stuff for kids. Close to lifts and Nordic center. Easy parking for us (though might be a bit trickier with lots of snow.

Magical Time with Family

We absolutely loved staying in the beautiful town home on Mt Washington that Samantha and her family offered to us! There was ample of great space for the five of us! Everything was so lovely upon arrival! Bedrooms for everyone, including the loft. Everything was so clean. The kitchen was so well stocked for cooking etc. Much appreciated.! Beautiful decor that made you feel good! Great dining room space with pretty winter outlook! Wonderful times were had in the dining room, playing games, listening to music and eating meals etc. The town home is in a perfect location between both between both chalets. Easy walk over to the Nordic chalet! Samantha was great to work with. I can see she really cares about her guests. We loved it so much! So grateful!

What a place!

This was such a pleasant trip to make with our 1.5 year old. There is so much for a kid to do here- both inside and outside. As a travelling parent, I brought a lot of things that were able to stay in the car as it’s already available at the rental. It’s super duper spacious. The location is lovely and very convenient. All parts of this getaway home are well equipped- kitchen, play room, bedrooms. I think they’re working out the cleaning company as we did have a few close calls with running low on toilet paper and dish soap. The owner was able to coordinate getting us supplies very quickly though!

Christmas Experience

We enjoyed our time very much , overall our experience was exactly what we were looking for , Infact the unit is what saved the day, we weren't able to ski , snow shoe or even sleigh ride ,so we hunkered down played games , shared meals and spent some well needed family time. We would go again , thanks

Perfect Location & Wonderful Place

We were two families renting this property and loved it for its location and its layout which allowed all of us to have privacy. It is nice and close to the hill which made coming back for lunch a breeze. This is the second time my family has stayed here and it was just as wonderful the second time.

Winter Wonderland

The accommodations were what we expected. Beautifully decorated and had a very good stocked kitchen. Easy access to the ski hills and snowshoeing was just down the road from the unit. Unfortunately, when we arrived the unit was extremely cold as the thermostats were all turned off and it took overnight to get the chill out. In the late evening, we went to have showers and discovered there was no hot water so we had to turn on the hot water tank. It took a long time to heat so only 2 out of 6 of us got a shower. The snow had not been removed from balconies (it was the only unit not shoveled) so we could not see out of the windows nor could we open the doors. We shoveled the back door ourselves so we could use it to go to the ski hill. We contacted the owner and was assured it was going to be done but it was not done for the duration of our stay. Needless to say, we felt boxed in and we could not enjoy the view which in part is what we were paying for.

Great family accommodation.

Worked well for 4 adults and 4 teens. Arrived after dark which made finding the property very difficult. The owner was very gracious and helped us over the phone even though it was late. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. A beautiful location!

Absolutely wonderful. Condo was clean and warm and welcoming. Everything was great.

We had a wonderful time. Very convenient to the lift going up and snowshoe trails right across the street. The bedrooms are beautiful and comfortable. Enough room to spread out and enjoy. It was a wonderful trip.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Stone

Host profile image
We are a fun loving couple who enjoys our time with our children. We love to travel and our vacations are active.

Why they chose this property

We were excited to learn that there was a ski hill on Vancouver Island that was affordable to access and to teach our children how to ski. We have since learned that it is one of the nicest family oriented ski hills with a range of skiing from beginner to technical. It also has boasted some of the best snow in the province.

What makes this property unique

We couldn't believe how beautiful it was in the summer.
Instant access to trails and boardwalk area around Strathcona park in the summer. A beautiful place to be too to access day to Qualicum Beach, Courteney, Comox, Parksville and Campbell River by day but peace by night.
