My husband and I stayed at Casa Kettlewell for 3 nights. First a note about the location. Yes, there is a free shuttle across the street that takes you to the village and the shuttle does come every 10 minutes, however, we had to wait for 2 buses as the first one was too full to get on. In the cold,with your gear, standing in your ski boots, it is not the most ideal. A note regarding the townhouse itself. Spacious and cozy. However, the sheets on the bed don't quite fit and during the night the sheets come off and you end up sleeping on the bare mattress and constantly adjusting your bedsheets. Terrible experience. You can tell that the owner wants to keep the expenses down as the sheets were of cheap quality, but even a cheap fitted rather than flat sheet would have done the trick. For approximately $300 per night, one would expect a decent and comfortable bed. Won't stay here again.

Three of us stayed at a condo that we rented through ----. It was named Casa Kettlewell, owned by, well, The Kettlewell's! The condo was exactly as described, very appropriate for our uses, close to everything. We had covered parking, washer and dryer, fireplace, very comfortable beds and clean linin, towels, etc. Plenty of room!! I would definately stay there again. The only thing worth mentioning is the website claimed "6 minute walk to the ski lifts". Well, more like 15 or more. Make's a big difference in ski boots carrying gear. What's more, this was easily corrected if we would have realized that there was a FREE shuttle that we could pick up across the street that took us right to the gondala base! We realized this after walking back and forth to the lifts for three days. Minor issue, really.

I really loved the Whistler area, but it was much more expensive than I expected. Additionally, everything seemed very "Disneyfied". It was all-Whistler all-the-time. Like going on a cruise ship, you're in a different bar, different store or restaurant, but you're still on the same darn ship. I never saw evidence of a community. Just one GIANT resort. Just not quite what I expected.

WONDERFUL SNOW. Incredible trails! HUGE HUGE Resort. I hade to stop and rest many times the runs were so freaking long!! I would go back just to explore the incredible amount of terrain they have.

The resort staff was awesome, from bus drivers, wait staff, ticket windows, mountain guides, everyone was clearly happy and sincere. My goggles off to them.
