Spacious and well-equipped place
Lovely stay for a family vacation. Lots of amenities and easy communication with owner. Fastest access to Happy Valley required a fairly steep boot pack up to the path (and fairly steep walk/slide down for ski out!) which may be challenging for some. Ski in down to Plaza/Ridge Rocket was super accessible and fun!

Beautiful Ski Condo
This condo was very well suited to our group. My husband and I, our three adult children and two of their adult friends. The location on the hill was also very good. Communication with owner was prompt and clear. Even though they were on holidays they responded to questions quickly and helpfully. Information in the welcome binder was accurate and suggestions were helpful. We highly recommend using this as a resource upon arrival.Condo was immaculate and quiet. The condos on either side were occupied but noise was never an issue.Wonderful to have private hot tubKitchen was very well appointed in excellent condition with plenty of room for your own groceries. We have stayed in other "ski in; ski out" condos where the "ski out" is to a secondary lift. This "ski out" is directly to the Ridge Rocket Express. Ski In brings you through the village and virtually to where you started (maybe 50 steps to your door).The layout of the condo was well suited to our group with two rooms with ensuites upstairs and a bunk room, den with sofa bed and bathroom in the lowest level. (main floor was kitchen, and living room but no bedroom or bathroom). Foot access to the village is a choice of walking up the ski in or walking down a ski out to the gondola that takes you to the village. We did both without problem and found walking up more convenient. For anyone with mobility issues, it could be quite challenging to access by foot.We HIGHLY recommend this condo

This property has a great location on the hill, very good ski in/ski out. I had my 3 adult kids and their partners with room for all. Well stalked kitchen and generous bedrooms. The only issue for the weekend was the weather, but that you cannot order!

Great property, Great location
Enjoyed our stay here, so clean and cozy. Very well stocked with lots of towels, toiletries, laundry soap, and kitchen items. Loved boarding right to the unit after a day on the mountain. Communication was great and I love me some "welcome wine", such a nice touch. Thank you for sharing this great spot, The Harris Family

We've spent two years at this vacation home with another family. Great ski in and ski out. Love the ski room in the garage! It's a beautiful home - very comfortable. The owners are always available if needed. More then enough room for 4 adults and our kids. Stocked well for cooking and dining at home. We've enjoyed our stay both years - looking forward to a third.

Great Space for a Ski in Ski out week.
We had a great stay, loved the two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and separate bedroom and bathroom in the basement. The living space and kitchen had great space for hanging out, playing games and relaxing. We loved that they had a pantry for our food💜 Also great closet and dresser space. Having the two living spaces was amazing for the kids. The ski bench, hooks and ski map In the garage are brilliant. We would defiantly book again. Renee and Alex

That is heated. Can’t say enough about the private Jacuzzi used daily . .. lots of towels on hand … mahalo Nam’s

Beautiful chalet for a family stay
This was our best rental yet in 5 years of renting at Big White! It was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable and the linens and towels were very good quality. We especially appreciated the heated garage and built in benches and hooks for all of our gear. That space made it very easy to keep the chalet clean and clutter free. We were a family of 6 adults and one infant, and the spacious layout of this chalet made it easy for everyone to have the space they needed. The fact that there are 3 full bathrooms also contributed to our comfort. Gregg was very quick to respond to messages and showed a genuine interest in making our stay enjoyable! We will be back!

This place is awesome, beautifully positioned in a fantastic ski in ski out picture book ski villag
We stayed as a family of 6, for 4y.o to 50y.o, and was never cramped or tripping over each other. This is a very comfortable home to relax and recharge for another day of great powder snow. Everything we needed was in the home, from the kitchen appliances, to the bathroom setup with luxurious towels, and carpeted bedroom floors with ensures. The drying room/garage was such a convenient area to come and go from, as kitting up or stripping down for skiing can be so awkward and inconvenient if not set up right. This was perfect. The hot tub was a great feature, which we usually soaked in the mornings to warm our muscles and joints before another flogging on the slopes. Gregg's communication prior to our stay was extremely hospitable and helpful, with even a followup call to make sure we were settled in. I thoroughly recommend this beautiful, comfortable and conveniently positioned home which we found even better than the photos show. Thanks Gregg and Lisa for opening your home up to us Regards, Rick, Sally, Jessica, Thomas, Nathan and Charlotte.

Thanks Gregg, Only way it cud have been better is if you WOULD HAVE come back and skied WITH us. Exactly as described, One note re: ski out, If you are on a Board the option of riding down to Laras Gondola to start your day is a little easier. We liked that start anyway as we were skiing the Black Forest chair early due to fog. Snowed every day and conditions were Awesome. Although some fog on first 2 days but Forest and Bullet chairs VERY Skiable in the fog. Even tho the vast majority were riding there we never had a lineup over 4 minutes the whole trip. GOOD Work Big White. (YAY mid-week skiing on non school holidays). Condo is Beautiful and very comfortable due to tremendous heating options and Large Hot Tub. Extremely well appointed Kitchen. We ate (and drank) like kings, Thanks to previous users (that would be You) for leaving behind some treats. We did the same. Also appreciate the info package, we agree with all your food and beverage tips but nice to have the info. Would be VERY helpful for a first time visitor. One tip I wud give others is if you like to cook bring your Entrees with you. There is a Costco in Kelowna right on the way to the hill. There is a Market on the hill but of course it is limited. One of the better on hill markets we have seen tho. Now if you could arrange to have snow at night and sunshine daily we wud Award you a Huge ATTABOY !! (-8 All in All great week!!! As to recommendations It would suit anybody that appreciates quality and Enjoys treating peoples property with respect!!
