About this property

Big White Is Calling - Big White BC

Welcome to "The Slopes are Calling," our home away from home. Here is where you can gaze at the mountains or watch the sun set, witness the village fireworks or perhaps a meteor shower. Whether it be from the large windows next to a cozy, fire-burning fireplace or while relaxing in the hot tub, the view will be one you will want to come back to, again and again.

Located just a few steps from the village, you will find an array of little shops, restaurants, and even an exceptional daycare for those who may require one.

The Swachan Trail is located just down from our chalet, giving quick access to the village without having to find vehicle parking in their specified lot. Walking, snowshoeing, skiing, or snowboarding, this trail provides a beautifully lit pathway in the evenings, ensuring a magical experience through snow-covered trees that will surely leave an impression.

We had a great stay at this chalet! It worked really well for our larger group, with plenty of space to hang out together and still have some privacy.The place was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, with a balcony hot-tub for soothing aches after a long day of skiiing. The location was also very convenient for getting on and off the slopes.Overall, a great choice for a group trip!

Perfect Big White Chalet

This place was perfect for 8 of us on our annual guys ski trip. Nicely renovated, great view, close to the lifts. A few minute walk down the street to strap in to get to the lifts, and a closer walk back on the ski-out run. Had everything we were looking for; hot tub, bbq grill, washer/dryer, ski/board racks, 4 bedrooms (2 with 2 sets of bunks) for 10 beds, 3 bathrooms, big great room area with awesome mountain views. Would recommend for families or group ski vacation!

Still waiting on my damage deposit

Our damage deposit was not returned despite us leaving the place perfect. Owner ghosted us after the stay. This owner has a history of doing this kind of stuff (there are several news articles about her). I’d avoid this place if I were you.

Your deposit was returned, in full, and i allowed you to check in early and you didn’t leave until 3pm check out. Which left my cleaning staff to come back a day later costing funds. I can’t believe that you have lied.

Could have been awesome but was just ok

The location is perfect but the overall experience was below average and we would not go back. The advertised spa was filthy: the water was brown and had barely any chlorine in it (we tested it). The bedrooms are very basic: there is not a single reading light in any of them including the master and the bunk beds are not comfortable at all (our kids are used to traveling and said these were among the worst they had slept in). The wine fridge started beeping including at 3am one night. Then a leak started to drip water in the TV room. We called the handyman recommended by the owner but he never showed up. It was right in the middle of Xmas which we understand makes things trickier but we basically had to manage a bucket for 3 days and lost access to that room entirely.

A wonderful time had by all

Great location! Beautiful chalet, especially the main floor living/dining room & kitchen area. Gorgeous views! A bit of a strange layout though. Equipment room off of laundry on split level between main and lower levels not convenient at all. You come and go from the lower level. It would make much more sense to outfit part of the lower level as a gear room. That’s where we ended up leaving our ski equipment. Beds very comfortable, linens soft and inviting. Bunk bed rooms, however, have absolutely NO storage. The kids had to utilize the unused beds as a place to put their clothing. A couple of shelves in both rooms would solve this problem. Lighting is very dim in all the bedrooms as well because there are no side table lamps in the bedrooms upstairs or wall lamps for each bunk bed. Easy fix as well. Ski in/out works well, provided there is snow on the road. Otherwise, a bit of chore to walk to and from. Not an issue if you have a car. Owner easy to reach and quick to respond. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would stay again.

Mice Infestation & Fraudulent Transaction

We reported to Laurinda seeing a mouse running along the kitchen countertop and behind the stove on the first night of our 4 night stay. We could not use the kitchen properly for the entire time of our stay and had to keep all food stored away and off the counters. Laurinda said this is normal for the area and did not offer to have anyone come to take care of the rodent problem during our 4 night stay and said the cleaners will set up traps after we check out. We are also still waiting for our refundable deposit of $1000 that we paid at time of booking in November of 2023. Since checkout, she confirmed to me through multiple emails that our $1000 deposit will be refunded and keeps making up excuses. She said we should have received it within 7-10 days of departure but still have not to date. It's been 4 months now. She has not replied to my most recent voice message or email. We have rented elsewhere multiple times at Big White resort and this is the first time that I have had to leave any negative feedback. Do not book with Laurinda Kalawarny Summers.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 May 2024
Hi We did respond to the little mouse, and had it dealt with, there was only one little mouse, the front door to where the wood is must have been left open, little critters will look for warm where ever they can. Consider a condominium next with making a reservation a house In the woods you are subject to all creation of little animals. You were given back your refund and since it’s May that’s quite awhile to ask for it? The refund would be approx. $860, there would have been stripe processing fees deducted that would have been reversed when you booked, so you may have been looking for a full $1000. And not noticed the smaller amount. Sorry you felt your ski holiday was ruined by a small mouse. Enjoy your summer. To say my place isn’t a place to stay my reviews say different.

Ski weekend group of 8

Our group has been to 5 different Canadian ski towns. Always have received great reviews and given great reviews. The house location is good for Big White, but the layout is not ideal for a group of 8 as there are no large spaces for the group to be together. The lower bedrooms are tiny and don’t really fit adults in those bunkbeds very easily. Laurinda (the owner) needs to hire vacasa or a rental management company. She is an out of town owner who doesn’t have the ability to currently manage her house. Upon check in, we reached out to her to address several issues and she clearly did not have any interest in assisting with the following issues: -no soap/no shampoo (she said she no longer supplies them) -the washing machine is broken which she informed us about upon check in and several of us planned to use the laundry. -there is no tv service and non canadian streaming services don’t work in canada. There are 7 controllers upstair by the tv-good luck. -no kitchen knives or sponges to prep a meal. -bbq had no propane -upon check in she told us we are required to take our garbage with us which would have been nice to know before hand. We drove to kelowna and bought her shampoo, a broom, sponges and a tank of propane. You are welcome Laurinda. Needless to say, we were not impressed.

Thank you for your review, either positive or negative, it’s all useful. 5 different ski resorts. Sorry BW wasn’t up to your standards. Our layout is much larger than most huge upstairs, so not sure if 1500 square feet in just living are is small? Lower bedrooms are bunk rooms. For sleeping after a long day of skiing, regular size bed? I’ve been In this industry for 13 years, I don’t need to be advised by some guy what I’m able to do. I actually have great staff that’s on hand for anything people may need up at BW. No I don’t supply shampoo or soap for it always gets messy, and most people don’t like to use, used products? I know I don’t. Please clarify, you wanted steak knives for your steaks there are knives there? There is a built in vaccum system, no broom use the vaccum? Sponge? For what? There is a store at BW where you can purchase anything. If I had known you were out of propane you should have told me, have reserved propane in my storage. As I explained to guests! yes washer is out of order, waiting for parts and repair person to come to BW. TV service I have Optic TV full channels, Netflix, Disney etc. There are 4 remotes 1 for fan 1 for lights 1 for cable/tv 1 sound system I have never ever had anyone have problems using the TV. It’s basic. Everyone takes there garbage to recycling it’s just a given, everyone should know this if they have ever stayed at a ski resort. So thank you Kevin! to give me the opportunity to debunk your remarks as false or exaggerated, Offensive comments implying that a woman can’t run a business. So disappointing

Ski Big White

This was a great space for our two families. Teens enjoyed having own rooms and living room space. Hot tub was a wonderful feature and was used often. A few little things came up - not enough kleenex, no kindling for fire place, ice machine in fridge not working - but overall our experience was fantastic and we'd certainly book again. Laurinda was easy to deal with and responded extremely quickly.
