Anyone stay here recently? Do the units have washer/dryers and fireplaces? We will be staying after finishing a cruise, so laundry facilities are important. Since there are just 2 of us, we could probably manage in a studio, if there are laundry areas for our use. It appears there is no restaurant on the property, so any nearby recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

Stayed in a 2br lock-off unit in late May. The one bedroom side of this unit had a stacking washer/dryer in a closet off the kitchen. Gas fireplace in the living room. Wonderful resort in every way. Easy to walk into the Village for lots of dining options. Actually, the coffee shop/bakery on the main floor of the Fairmont across the street had fabulous offerings (but not for supper) and not excessively expensive either.

Thanks for the info. After a bit more research, we have decided that we would prefer a one bedroom. We are looking forward to our visit and would appreciate any and all suggestions on restaurants, things to do (September) and the surrounding area.

It’s right next to Four Seasons and Fairmont Chateau, which offered excellent local cuisine. I also found a local Japanese market in the market plaza who made fresh tray of sushi which we brought home. They also made take out ramen. A liquor store is right across the plaza and in a pinch for time, it has its own market with produce on the ground level.

September is a wonderful time of year for hiking. There is an abundance of natural wonders in the Whistler area and that is a time of year that you won't have to worry about snow in high altitudes for hiking. There is lift-access hiking as well as many trails around the village and Rainbow Lake. Enjoy the natural beauty of the area!
