Hotel Review of the
Glacier's Reach Whistler
Mar 23, 2010
My husband and I stayed at 95 Glacier's Reach and had a great time. We
selected it after reading a positive review and corresponding with the
friendly and professional owner. The unit comfortably sleeps two and was
very clean and well maintained. It was perfect for our week long stay.
We loved the unique layout...
1st floor: Small mud area for skis and boots.
2nd floor: Well supplied kitchen and living area, including kitchen
table, comfortable leather couch (pull out), gas fireplace, and large TV
w/ DVD player. Sliding door leading to a porch with grill.
3rd floor: Full bathroom with jetted tub, hairdryer. Stacked
washer/dryer, and bedroom with flat screen TV. Sliding door off the
bedroom leading to the outdoor covered private hot tub. Hot tub is above
the ground with beautiful mountain views. Important to note that some
units at Glacier's Reach have hot tubs on the ground floor without
mountain views or privacy.
Other: Wireless internet service in the unit. Shuttle stop right across
the street from the complex, or walk through the village to the lifts in
15 minutes. Within two minutes of the complex is the Market Place, which
conveniently has a grocery store, liquor store, drug store, Starbucks,
and some retail shops. Once you walk through the Market Place, you’re in
the village, with restaurants, bars, and retail shops, on the way to the
lifts. Glacier's Reach is convenient to the village without the late
night noise. Highly recommend #95.

You've found the perfect home for your unforgettable Whistler vacation!
Location, location, location- as close as you can get to the village
without having bars and restaurants under you, and no car needed! Enjoy
all the best amenities and many personalized extras in your private
entry Whistler condo, like stocked cupboards and refrigerator, free web
access, movies, music and games. As one of our guests wrote, "We could
have stayed in cheaper accommodations but we're SO glad we chose yours.
It's everything you said and more!" The versatile floorplans allow for
different configurations. Up to 12 guests- all are a perfect fit!

We stayed in Dec, so although this is a ground-floor condo, we never really
saw anyone. It helps that its in the far corner, so nobody really had any reason
to walk by. The condo itself was quite nice, the hot tub warm and a great treat,
and a comfy bed. My only criticism is that it is slightly run down, and what I
mean by that is a poor flooring job, poor paint job. That is really only me
being very-critical though, the kitchen was modern, and everything was clean.
The flatscreen TV, Wireless Internet were great! I would definitely recommend
this place, the owners were great to deal with, and Whistler is an amazing place
to visit! As far as noise goes, this wasn't a problem, but it was also the
deadest it gets at Whistler, and not all the rooms were rented out.

We stayed here in mid December and found the location more than suitable. The
Marketplace over the road has a great choice of shops, supermarket and drug
store as well as eating places, and walking distance to the main shopping areas.
Even better was the bus stop for the free ski shuttle just over the road too. It
was convenient and easy to stay here, and I suspect, quieter (and definitely
cheaper) than in the base area for the ski fields.
We had more than enough space for our family of 4 with an 18 & 20 year old. The
adults could escape upstairs to our own room or socialise with the kids, enjoy
the hot tub, cook in the kitchen or watch one of the 3 TV's. We did not really
notice noisy neighbours, only once when one had their hot tub running. The most
nuisance noise was from the snow removal trucks and machinery who started in the
parking lot across the road at 4.30 am!
Views out to the road and up the mountain were amazing, and the place was more
than warm enough. Plenty of resort amenities that we didn't use, but I can see
this would be a great place to stay year round.
We booked direct with owners who were easy to deal with.

Glaciers Reach condo's are ideally located next to the Market Place, and there
is a bus stop across the road which is serviced by the free village shuttle.
Village Gondola's are 10 mins walk or 5 mins on bus (via Blackcomb base)
I have stayed here twice, in 2 different 1 bed condo's, and I would have no
complaints about either. They are well furnished, clean, have all amenities and
I was lucky to get one with a private hot tub.

The Glacier Reach was in a good location. It was in close proximity to trails
for running and biking. Only a short walk away was the Village filled with shops
and restaurants. It also had free internet which was a plus. Parking sucked at
$12 a day, but I guess is average for most hotels and still seemed cheaper the
hotel next door. Would have been nice to have had maid service daily instead of
every 4 days. The bed was comfortable. Overall, I was happy with my stay for the
price.

thanks for a great vacation launching pad, trevor! we stayed in 103 and loved
that there is a common pool and hot tub, along with a private hot tub for each
unit. It was nice to have a second story "townhouse" unit, if nothing else than
for the privacy of the hot tub on the outdoor deck. We loved being able to walk
across the street to the Village Stroll and less than ten minutes walk to the
lifts with our 'boards.

This was a decent condo. Kind of tucked in the corner, large master bedroom, hot
tub on the deck. The condo's are pretty tight together though, so there is
little privacy on the deck. The pool was a little small, but is in keeping with
most pool sizes out here. The place was really clean. From what I read in the
guest book though, this could be a bit of a party place. The really nice part
about here is you are just on the edge of the Village, so you are not sitting
overtop of the noise right in the Village. You are super close to groceries,
liquor, etc. Lots of very young families here.
Would have loved to have golfed here, as it is first class, but just didn't have
the time. |
