This was our first ski trip as a family, and the accommodations were comfortable, and the views beautiful. It was lovely to be right next to a gondala up the mountain, and the adjacent village was a winter wonderland. The room was spacious and we had a lovely time.

We were there for 8 days booked 6 months in advance through whistler.com
3 of us in a 2 bedroom 2 baths unit facing the pools.
Pros:
Less than 50 yards to the gondola.
Courteous and obliging staff, housekeeping outstanding.
Accommodation spacious and updated.
A good size kitchen ( need a blender, a rectangular baking dish for casserole and a few baking trays replaced ) . If you want to eat in a lot then bring aluminum foil and storage containers) .
The concierge booked our dining out restaurants in advance which is a must if you want to get in good ones like 'Red Door' or 'Rim Rock' .
Dusty' s BAr and BBQ is a stone throw away and serve great smoked ribs and burgers. Good value for money. Both lunch and dinner.
There is a Tim Horton 5 minutes away and a Southside Diner for variation.
The spas and the steam bath are clean
Cons:
It boost a library but there is 'no book'.
If you check in you have to go to 'The Legend ' the other Lodge around the corner.
The gym is small but adequate.
Overall:
It's a great ski destination for family.
Will definitely come back and recommend
Booked a two bedroom condo back in July 16 so accessed a very good rate. Many fellow Australians now come to Whistler in preference to the US given the massive difference in affordability. The major US resorts were once attainable yet are now more than double the price of whistler on a like with like comparative basis
There's a reason this place gets such good reviews. They exceeded all of my expectations in all areas. The condo was spacious and well equiped. Call it a solid four star. Service impeccable. Location, unbeatable. Literally 20 metres to the creekside gondola
It's not the four seasons (True 5 start) yet on a value for money basis I'd stay here again and again.
Highlights... Concierge contacting me a week prior to make restaurant bookings for us. Laura (Australian) from the front desk deserves special mention as she was simply outstanding and made our trip special in many little ways
Gold star - very happy customer indeed
I booked our apartment several months in advance and got a really great discount on our January stay.
We stayed in a 3 bed apartment ( family of 5) and found it to be very spacious and comfortable. I appreciated the daily service, washer/dryer and full kitchen facilities in the apartment. We shopped for groceries at Creekside market just across the road.
It's easy to travel to Whistler by bus ($2.50 pp for adults) for skiing, shopping or a night out.
The lodge is literally steps from the Creekside gondola and kids ski school, but teens have to get to Whistler by 8:45am for lessons. My daughter either took the bus, or skied over when the gondola opened a little bit early at 8:15.
Overall I would say it's great value if you can get earlybird deals, and if you don't mind being a little bit away from the main village.
Overall a great way to save a little money (actually, a lot!) by staying in Creekside Village vs. the main Whistler Village. A few additional walkable dining options would have helped improve our stay, but it wasn't that big of a problem, especially since there's an excellent market in Creekside.
A very nice property with a great location. Next to the gondola and a super bar/restaurant called Dusty's. The skiing is better on the Blackcomb mountain but the Creekside area is more relaxed and you can cross mountains via the Peak to Peak Gondola.
