15 Amazing Whistler Airbnbs You’ll Want to Book
Traveling to Whistler has been on our bucket list for years. After moving to Canada a few years ago we knew we couldn’t wait any longer to get to one of the most famous ski resorts in the entire world in the winter.
We heard many good and bad things about Whistler Blackcomb and knew we just had to make the trip to British Columbia and check it out for ourselves. Then we returned again in the summer for some beautiful hiking and thrilling mountain biking. We were able to situate ourselves at some amazing Whistler Airbnbs while visiting. There are so many choose from it can be hard to narrow down.
This is a world-class outdoor destination so you can expect there to be tons of Airbnbs to sift through. So we’ve gone ahead and done that work for you and sorted our favorite Whistler Airbnbs for every group size and every budget here. Here are the best Airbnbs in Whistler Village, Whistler Creekside, and on Blackcomb Mountain!
But First, Why Stay in One of These Whistler Airbnbs?
Unique Stays: Don’t get me wrong. I love hotels, but staying in Airbnb gives you the chance to find more unique property. We do our hardest to show you the best townhouses, lofts, cottages, and cabins. Not just standard hotel rooms so that your stay is extra special.
Stay Local: By staying with a local host you are choosing local businesses. This is not only great for them, but it gives you the chance to get the lowdown on the best things to do, where to eat, etc. No one knows best besides a local.
Affordable: Airbnbs range in price and can be found all over the city, not just in one area (like a downtown area). You can stay in local neighborhoods which typically mean cheaper.
Flexibility: What I love about Airbnbs is that you can choose places that are fit for not just two people, but four, six, and so on making them great for families and even more cost-effective.
Privacy: Most Airbnbs now let you check-in and check out without any human interaction if you don’t want to. Keypads, lock boxes, and door codes make this all possibl

Getting to Whistler
If you are flying the best way to get to Whistler is to fly into Vancouver International Airport. Vancouver is a two hour drive away from Whistler. So you can either rent a car in Vancouver and drive yourself (though parking is limited in Whistler Village) or you can utilize the Whistler Shuttle.
We flew from Calgary and landed in Vancouver. Before we continued onto Whistler we did some fun things in Vancouver and also stopped off in Squamish for a day.
Things to do in Whistler
Ski/Snowboard: Obviously one of the main reasons you visit Whistler in the winter is for skiing and snowboard on Blackcomb and Whistler mountain. The skiing here is top-notch and you could spend an entire season here and never get bored! Read all about skiing in Whistler here!
Scandinave Spa: A 20,000 square foot outdoor spa to enjoy while looking out at the mountains. Quite a relaxing place to head after a day out skiing in Whistler.
Vallea Lumina: We loved our time here! Vallea Lumina is an outdoor lightshow in the forest. A chance to reconnect with nature on a whole new level.
Hike: One of the best things to do in Whistler in the summer is hike. There are plenty of trails around Garibaldi Provincial Park. One of our favorite hikes in Whistler is Wedgemount Lake – see the photo below – simply beautiful.
Mountain Bike: The biking in Whistler is world-class. There are tons of mountain bike trails in Whistler, and if you’re into downhill biking all of Whistler Blackcomb turns into a big play place fo you in the summer!
Where to Eat in Whistler
There are so many places to eat in Whistler it’s tough to narrow it down on where to go. A few of our favorites were:
The Grill Room: Located at the Fairmont Whistler this is the Fairmont’s signature premier restaurant and one of the nicest in Whistler. The Grill Room is a great place to come for special occasions as it’s intimate and has a delicious menu.
We had reservations here on our last night in Whistler and loved it. From the appetizers to the wine list and entree everything blew us away. The Grill Room specializes in steak, seafood, and chops. Many of their ingredients are sourced locally and beef is Canadian AAA Prime beef.
Wildflower: Wildflower is another restaurant at the Fairmont specializing in breakfast cuisine. Anyone staying at the Fairmont should head here before their long day out on the mountain.
Pizza Antico: Wow I’m so happy we found out about this place. Pizza Antico dishes up amazing pizzas and craft beer. Everyday from 3-5 they also have a great happy hour special. $8 CAD Margarita pizzas and $4 CAD beers – a steal in Whistler.
Peaked Pies: This small shop is an Austrian favorite serving sweet ad savory pies. Perfect for an after-ski snack.
Bar Oso: Is a tapas-style restaurant serving handcrafted cocktails and Spanish influenced small plates.
