Ski Access

This home offers winter enthusiasts access to the nearby Dave Murray ski trail and the 2010 Olympic downhill run, which descends to the Creekside Gondola. Please note that the Dave Murray ski-out trail is suitable for an intermediate-level skier and is not well-suited for beginners. The signed entrance to the ski-out is found next to Taluswood the Heights #1, located approximately 200 m from The Heights #17. At the end of this trail, you will need to take off your skis/snowboard to cross the road, from where you will continue to ski down the Lower Dave Murray Downhill run to get to the Creekside Gondola. The Ski-Home trail is located off the Lower Dave Murray Downhill run. Watch for the Green Olympic rings on the skier's right when descending Dave Murray, turning right, above the Olympic Rings, onto the Home Run trail. Follow this trail (skiing above the Fairmont Heritage Place) to Taluswood the Lookout complex, from where it is less than a 1-minute walk back to unit #17. Ski access is weather-dependent, but typically begins in late December and ends in March. The Guest Services team can confirm snow levels shortly before arrival.

An incredible experience
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was a slight hiccup with the garage to house doorway being locked but we were able to get that resolved. The home was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed nightly fires and greatly appreciated the properly stocked wood supply in the garage. I would highly recommend staying here!

Don’t go in summer
We stayed during the summer when the temperatures outside were in the low 90s. The house was equipped with several fans that didn’t work. The ones that did work were of such low quality that you could only feel the air if you stood about a foot away from the fan. The two bedrooms upstairs were unusable. The beautiful master bedroom had one small window that opened and the two large windows could only open less than 2 inches due to a railing that had been built outside of them. Therefore it was impossible to cool down the room. It was 88° inside when we arrived. No windows had been open or fans had been turned on, despite the fact that we knew the place was empty the night before. The next day we advised them again they needed to do something. They brought a portable air conditioner and installed it in the master bedroom. However, it was installed with the vent adhered to the glass of the window that meant that all of the heat was being sucked out of the room and bounce back into the air conditioner. They had close the door to the room and said give it a few hours to cool down, when we came back 2 1/2 hours later, the cardboard on the window, the vent pipe, the window itself or all extremely hot to the touch, and the plastic was actually melting. The room was worse than before. This was a very expensive rental. This is not how I wanted to spend my vacation.

We loved this home. The view was amazing and felt 100% relaxed while there. Close enough to the village to join in with the festivities but far enough for a quiet retreat. Lots of room for 8 people.

Great location on the chill side of Whistler! Perfect for Summer or Winter - adjacent to Dave Murray DH run with easy access via trail or road to Creekside base area 5 minutes away (drive). Beautiful property and Whistler Platinum was easy and professional to communicate with. If you love Whistler but want to avoid the ongoing rush and bustle of the Village, Taluswood is worth the look.

Great spot for intermediate skiiers
The description is very accurate. Intermediate skiiers can ski in/out. Note that this is on the Whistler side, and below the cloud level. Not only are the trails intermediate to get back in, but they got icy a few days as well. Creekside gondola hardly had a wait in the mornings, so we were up the mountain quickly. The unit is perfect for 2 families. The hot tub was great and was clean and serviced while we were there. The communication with the management team was prompt. Drawbacks were the small kitchen, which could have been stocked better with plates/cups and basic spices and condiments. The stove is funky with a gas/wood combo. The directions were given once we texted asking how to use it. It was still not intuitive and made us a bit nervous. Overall a good stay in Whistler.

Excellent group ski accommodation
Excellent. Would do it again. Good quality amenities and kitchen. Property management communications was very prompt and accommodating. As a large group we really liked the double garage. My only comment is that the ski in-ski out access was not obvious. Figured it out after talking to locals on the street.

This is an excellent property. Very clean. Bed linens like those from a 5-star hotel! Lots of fluffy white towels. Hot tub was great. Good supply of quality hangers in the closets which is rare but very appreciated! Very responsive property manager. Highly recommend! Note: bring your own tea, coffee, sugar, cooking oil, foil/parchment/etc, plastic food storage containers, and laundry detergent as none of these are supplied.

This property is amazing. Very responsive management. Kitchen is the best stocked for cooking I have ever seen in a rental. Impeccably clean and comfortable. We had a family of 8 adults, 3 generations and all fit in with plenty of room. Hosted large family meals as easily as I could in my own home. Every detail was thought of.

Wonderful
We absolutely love the stay. It was a very clean and spacious property with good supplies in the kitchen. The only downside is I really wouldn’t say it is ski in/ski out. The path down to the black run(which for us is not an issue as far as difficulty) Is quite steep and narrow. On the way back it is quite a uphill hike which was not very fun with children. That really was the only downside. We ended up driving down to ski school every day.Would recommend highly only with this one downside.
