Me and my sister infront of
the Blackcomb Lodge
by Carmanahthe Blackcomb Lodge
It was the Blackcomb Lodge, in the heart of the Whister Village, that gave me my first impression of Whistler. I was 12 years old and was so amazed to look out the window and see each individual tree on mountain peaks that were only a few blocks away. It was also my first time in a loft. I was so used to staying in motels with my family, so when we entered our loft at the Blackcomb Lodge, with its fireplace, kitchen, and staircase leading upstairs to a separate bedroom, I couldn't believe how lucky I was!
The Blackcomb Lodge is located in the heart of the older part of the village, a short walk away from the gondola up to the top of Whistler mountain. Dozens of restaurants and shops surround the hotel. Some windows will look onto the village and Whistler mountain. Our window looked at the backside, over to the mountains across the street. Either way, the views were beautiful. I really liked the layout of our loft though... so cozy.
Note: My parents spent a few nights at the Blackcomb Lodge in August of 2004 and really enjoyed their stay. They recommended the hotel to a coworker who was really impressed with how nice the hotel was. According to their website, they spent the entire summer of 2004 renovating the hotel. My parents said that the renovations were beautiful, but that the hotel was still really nice even before the upgrades. Either way, it's still a really nice place to stay - and affordable too, especially in off-season.
