About this property

Whistler Blackcomb Large Penthouse Condo

The Powderhorn condominium is only steps to Blackcomb mountain and is a perfect ski location in the Benchlands area of Whistler. This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom unit is the largest in the complex at over 1,500 sq ft. On entering the unit there is a 25 foot high double sided fireplace separating the living and dining room which seats 8 comfortably.

It has 2 bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen) and a large loft (1 set of single bunks & 1 single) to sleep 7 comfortably (8 if you use the queen pullout in the living room).

The living room, dining room and master bedroom have spectacular vaulted ceilings with lovely mountain views. The ensuite master bathroom has a large jacuzzi tub, double sinks and an oversized shower.

The unit has a fully equipped kitchen, double sided gas fireplace in the living room and dining room, 3 flat screen TVs, stereo, DVD player & movies, wireless internet, washer & dryer in unit and a wooden deck out front with a gas BBQ.

The loft has an access door to the outside and the shared outdoor rooftop hot tub with it's incredible view. The hot tub is open with strict rules on use. Only one unit at a time for half an hour. There is a sign up sheet right next to the hot tub. This process works really well!

Ski-in/Ski-out is simply across the street down to the Wizard
Trail, hang a left on the path that leads to the Wizard run on Blackcomb Mountain. You can ski right down to the Blackcomb gondola. The free shuttle into Whistler Village stops right outside the complex but if you prefer to walk it's less than 10 minutes down the road to the restaurants and nightlife of Whistler Village.

The unit has 2 secured underground parking spots, underground visitor spots and secured storage for your ski equipment.

We live in the unit for part of the year so we have tried to equip it with all the comforts of home!

Great Ski in/ski out location

The property is in a great location. It is just a short walk to ski down the mountain. The host was very responsive. The condo was kept very clean and was very spacious.

Great space for family and friends!

Wonderful rental. We stayed for a week of skiing with 5 adults and 2 kids. The location is a short stroll to the ski run, as well as an easy walk to the upper village fun. We truly appreciated the VERY well stocked kitchen since we had most meals in the condo. We have already decided we will return as soon as we can! Thank you to the great hosts!

Great ski trip

Well appointed place with a great amount of space. Had no issues reserving hot tub time. Proximity to the free bus stops and a good number of reserved parking spots made getting around town a breeze. Only wish it was more of a true ski in/out, but you'd be hard pressed to find a place that offered this much while still being so close. The key based access to the building and storage cage could be a little awkward if group members are in and out at different times.

Nice place. Would return.

Good stay. There was some communication issues about checkout. Owner told me 10am but email from vrbo said 11am. Good location but I think there was mention of ski-in-ski out. It’s not. You can ski close but still need to cross the street, but there is a bus. There was also mold in the master bath jacuzzi when the bubbles were turned on…a lot.

1st Vrbo Whistler trip

Nice unit. High ceilings. Well equipped kitchen. Need more light in the living room to be able to do the puzzles. Loft single and bunk bed mattresses probably need to be replaced. Couches cause you to sink into them and need better support. Key lock for garage has a grate directly below which is a bad thing if you drop the key

Perfect for 2 couples or families with kids

Nearly direct access to hot tub (step out of loft doors + plus maybe 12 steps). Amazing master bedroom. Fully stocked kitchen. Great dining area and entertainment area. Super close to bus stop and to slopes (maybe a 5 to 7 minute walk). All in all, I'd go back to this exact condo again.

Great balance of space and ski access

This unit is well stocked with kitchen equipment, well appointed with great natural lighting, and is a great cozy spot to call home while on your ski vacation! The ski slopes are about a 100m walk across the street -- we were originally apprehensive about not having true ski-in/ski-out, but after being able to compare the space and privacy to units in the complex immediately abutting the slopes, we were quite happy with increased spaciousness and privacy this compromise affords!

Perfect! Spacious, comfortable, and exactly everything we needed!

Can not thank Jane and Greg enough! We had some issues with our payment clearing and they held the property for us without any additional hassle or cost. Lets get to the property review. The property is as spacious as it looks and very comfortable for our group. We really felt right at home. Washer and dryer on premises, TV had HDMI so we could hook up our Nintendo Switch, kitchen had everything we needed for our home-cooked meals when we weren't eating out. Unfortunately, the Jacuzzi was not working for our stay so that was a bummer. In terms of location, what can I saw...it is amazing. It is just a short walk to the base of Blackcomb. We did manage to ski back all the way to the lodge on one occasion, but we did have to get creative. Otherwise it is no more then a 5-10 minute walk in ski gear. Additionally, in terms of walking, being this close to Blackcomb means you have a great lit path leads all the way to Whistler Village so you are never too far from a proper apres ski or the night life for that matter. We walked twice to the village in our week stay and we even had a truck! But there simply was no reason, it is not too far, the snow and lights are beautiful! Jane and Greg, thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us! We would definitely come again if/when we make it back to Whistler!

Perfect condo for our group

Condo was very spacious and perfect for our group of 6+ our 1 year old. Only complaint was the cable. The last two days of our stay it would lose connection every 1-2 minutes. We would have to flip down a channel and then back up to restore the signal. This normally would not have been an issue, but we were there during the Alabama-Oklahoma semi final game, and we are big Alabama fans. Unfortunately, we had to keep the remote in hand and flip channels back and forth every minute or so for the entire game. Not sure if this was weather related or just an issue that they have on the mountain. We tried to reboot the cable box a few times but this did not help. Everything else was great and would definitely stay again.

Great location, well equipped

This condo is in a great location. The bus stop is just outside. Getting to the slopes and back is just a short walk across the street, with a little poling. The kitchen is very well equipped. We were a group of six and had plenty of space. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful home

We just spent the week between Christmas and New Years in Whistler....our stay was complete with family, great snow, and all the comforts of home. This vacation rental has EVERYTHING you need....I always bring many of my own kitchen tools as most places lack, but here, they even had mini muffin pans!! All the equipment is in excellent shape, the beds comfy, nice linens, plenty of space....it was one of the better places I have rented through VRBO. Many thanks for a memorable visit.

Do not forget to put the keys back in the lock box!!!!

We loved this place, only a 5 minute walk to the lift and you can board all the way back home. House had everything we needed, coffee maker, crock pot, pots pans, BBQ etc... Im listing it because the owner just says to much to list which is quite lazy IMO I would like a list of what the house has just so I am prepared. We were not able to use the spa on 2 of our 4 nights because it was not hot, not sure why but I will not hold that against the owner. You may feel like you are being scolded by the owners repeated remarks about how its not a party pad and how you must immediately put the keys back in the lock box. It was the joke of our trip, we kept poking fun at each other asking if the keys were back in the lock box!!!! Im guessing the owner has had some not so respectful guests in the past and it shines through clear as day. At the end of the day it was a great place to stay at a great price.

Very spacious, lots of natural light, a well stocked kitchen, and lots of towels!

This place is my absolute favorite place to stay in Whistler. This trip was my second time staying in the Hicklin's Whistler home. This unit has a beautiful layout that feels much more spacious than other units I've stayed in that have comparable sleeping arrangements. It's rare to find a unit with a kitchen as well stocked as this one is with nice cutting knives, glassware, plates, bowls, coffee makers, a slow cooker, a grill, pots, pans, etc. There are also more than enough towels for use with showers and enjoying the hot tub. The hot tub is right outside the upstairs loft which is really convenient as compared to the other units in the building. Jane was incredibly helpful and responsive in answering my questions leading up to the trip. I will gladly be back!

REALLY NICE PLACE!!!

We really enjoyed this unit, ski in/ski out was awesome. It is really roomy and comfortable. The best part was the kitchen had everything - salt/pepper, oil, basic seasonings, plastic wrap/foil, wide range of pots and pans, dishes, containers for leftovers, utensil, knives that actually work!!!...all these things I have always had to buy when renting other condos. And loads of board games, puzzles, movies, and books. And the hot tub is right outside the loft door, so you can see if anyone is using it. I loved it and will definitely rent it again when we come back to Whistler. Jane was in constant contact with me if I had any questions during our stay. It really felt like home to me. :)

Great condo in a great location

Some friends and I recently stayed here whilst attending a friends wedding in Whistler. The Condo was very easy to get to from the main village and was well equipped for an enjoyable stay. I Would definitely recommend this condo for other groups looking to visit Whistler.

About the host

Hosted by Jane or Greg Hicklin

Host profile image
Our family has loved skiing for years! We live in Calgary now but spent many years living in Switzerland skiing in Europe. Our favourite spot has always been Whistler so are happy that we are so close by to enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

The Benchlands area is by far the best location in Whistler. It is so close to everything that our car gets parked and never moves until we leave town. It is a short walk away from the hustle of the village but also nice and quiet for relaxing after a hard day on the slopes.

What makes this property unique

It is very spacious. Excellent ski-in and ski-out just across the street. Close to great restaurants and apres-ski. The free shuttle to the village is just outside the door.
