Guest Reviews of the Horstman House Whistler
Oct 14, 2009
Wow, the apartment we had at Horstman House was just fantastic! Really spacious,
big comfy bed, wonderful bathroom and all the mod-cons, and all this for a
fraction of the cost of staying in the very centre of Whistler. The down-side? A
5-minute drive into the village. Big deal, eh? You also get a great view of
Blackcomb mountain, and are just minutes away from some great bike trails.
Staff were accommodating enough, but overall this place has the feel of a 4-star
hotel. Added to this the gorgeous swimming pool, hot tub and BBQ facilities, as
well as the free pool table and games room next to the lobby - it all added up
to a really rewarding stay. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

We rented a car from Vancouver airport - Free underground parking at the
Horstman House. A lot of people said one of the village was really close for
groceries but when we went it was pretty darn cold so walking that distance
wasn't pleasant, we just drove. If it was warmer out then the walk would be
nice. It's about a 1-min drive down a sloped set of streets.
The bus pick up is right in front of the Horstman House, very convenient. There
is also a ski-in from Blackcomb, but the run colour (I forget now) was blue I
think and I was too scared to try it, hahaha.
Horstman was cozy...lobby had a pool table, our room was quite large, 1bdrm with
living room, fairly large balcony, open-concept living room, dining area and
kitchen and a large bathroom with tub and separate shower. There was a gas fire
place, 2 TV's (one in the living room & one in the bedroom), and a mini CD
player. Maid service daily but just to do simple things like take out garbage,
give us towels....they only change sheets on the 3rd day.
I would definitely recommend this place to someone....the price was right, and
the amount of room we had in there was perfect. It was cozy in our little
apartment. We had a fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher....we cooked most of
our meals in our room. |
