IMPORTANT - Please Read
If you have a larger group than 12 people, please enquire about the availability of the lower one bedroom suite that is NOT included in this description or pricing.
A) Tucked away in a small exclusive slope-side neighborhood adjacent to Creekside Gondola, groups choose our chalet for tranquility, privacy and immediate access to the slopes rather than a spot to party. Guests should enjoy themselves but must act responsibly towards neighbors as well as visitors that might be in other parts of the chalet. Disturbing noise after 10pm and smoking are both strictly prohibited anywhere on the property (inside and outside) for everyone’s mutual benefit and will result in forfeiture of the security deposit.
B) Please note there is a self-contained suite on the lower level that is EXCLUDED from the rental and generally used by friends and family OR rented on a seasonal basis. It is generally NOT available for rental so it is NOT included in the description below.

Why Creekside Village?
Creekside is the original base of Whistler with a history dating back to the mountain’s first gondola in 1966. It’s a special location bounded by the mountain on one side and two small lakes (Alpha & Nita) on the other side, which are about a ten minute walk. One day you après to great live music at Dusty’s Bar & Grill located at the base of the Creekside gondola while the next day finds you sipping a Bailey’s Irish coffee next to the roaring fireplace at Nita Lake Lodge. On the nights you prefer to eat out, Creekside has it all from family friendly venues to fine dining (see below). We also have our own supermarket, liquor store, and bank. The larger busy main Village is only 5 km / 3 miles away.
Whistler runs a large children’s Snow School out of Creekside along with a full service Guest Relations department. A large Can-Ski shop is located next door for year round equipment rentals of bikes, skis and boards.
Creekside benefits from less traffic because it is closer to Vancouver than the main Village. This will save time if you plan to arrive or depart at peak travel hours as you avoid a busy road leading out of the main Village. The main service station is also conveniently located in Creekside if you need to refuel before driving back. Public buses and cabs run frequently throughout the day and night between Creekside and the main Village so it’s easy to leave the car parked and enjoy an extra nightcap.
