There are a variety of locations for rental accommodation in Whistler: the Village itself, if you want close proximity to the shops and restaurants; Village North, for cheaper condos with access to swimming pools as well as being only a short walk from the Village; Upper Village, where most of the ski-in , ski-out accommodation is located; Creekside, the original centre of Whistler, whence you can take the locals favourite lift, the Creekside gondola. However not many people know about the beautiful homes available on the Nicklaus North golf course. Just 5 minutes drive from the Village towards the town of Pemberton, it is an area of lovely homes along the fairways of the renowned golf course, many with great views of Blackcomb Mountain and all with an excellent outlook over the course itself.

The advantage of being out here is that you get a lot more home for your money. $1800 per night will get you only a 1800 sq. ft townhome over New Year in the Upper Village in a development like Pinnacle Ridge, but out on Nicklaus North you can get a 3500 sq. ft. home with 5 or 6 ensuite bedrooms, media rooms, spacious entertainment areas and many other features. These homes are all recently built, when property values in Whistler had risen to the level where it made sense to build to a high standard and install top-quality fittings. Rent a home out here and you will be able to entertain your friends in style while your kids are safely out of sight (and earshot) in another room.

And accessibility is not a problem either. Whistler is full of taxis and you can be on the lifts within 20 minutes of calling for a cab, which will drop you right by the lift and take you to your door at the end of the day again. This is a great trade-off for the extra space and quality of accommodation that you can find at Nicklaus North.
