RE: Spring Break 2012
We had a great time staying in the Carleton 408! You weren’t kidding when you said it was the best location in Whistler. Wow! We didn’t have to use our car once during our stay. We are already planning our next visit and can hardly wait. Thanks again Alan!

Hi Alan,

Re: February 2012 – I wanted to express my appreciation of using Carleton 402 over the last couple of nights. I found the entire process to be very easy and accommodating.
You have it right ….. WhistlersBest!!!
Thanks again for all your help!!!
“Thanksgiving in Carelton lodge”
We stayed at Carleton Lodge 402 for 5 days during Thanksgiving and it was everything as advertised. It is the best location and shortest walk to access the Blackcomb and Whistler gondolas equally. It is also very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and the popular night life establishments. Yes it can be loud at night but if you decide to stay in the center of the village action it should be expected. It did not affect our sleep. The view from the unit is incredible. My experience with the owner was that he was very responsive. He personally called us on the second day of our stay to make sure everything was okay. The bottom line is I received very good value for my money and “Whistlers Best” will be my first choice on future trips to Whistler.

Alan,
November 23-27, 2011. I would like to let you know that we had a great time in Whistler and your condo is a wonderful place to stay. It was clean and spacious, the location is perfect, right across the gondola and right in the middle of everything. We will come back for sure. Thank you for being a great host.
Best, Sophie Briggs
Alan,
November 23, 2011. A quick note of thanks for allowing us to share this beautiful Aspens 212 unit this Thanksgiving. My husband, daughter, grandson and I are having an amazing time and love the condo. It is so cozy and beautiful!! Wishing you as much fun as we are having this Thanksgiving.
Best, Jillian
Alan,
Re: Our stay July 24-28. We are sadly back home now after a fantastic few weeks in Whistler British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. We had a great time staying in your place with several relaxing dinners enjoying the view. The closest black bear we saw was about half way up the ski slope under the chair lift. Thank you again for all of your advice.

The snow was soft, the beds were comfy,and for a Brit’s 1st trip, watching Canada win the Gold in World Junior Hockey Champs was the icing on the cake……Thanks for the place – it totally made our stay.

Whistler Resort Condominiums

Professional Travel Writer
Alan Lande, who traded the type-A bustle of the Montreal fashion business for a laid-back lifestyle of snowboarding, skiing, and golf, rents some of the best ski- in/ski-out condos and town homes through his company Whistlersbest Accommodations. (On a snowy day, there’s nothing better than being able to throw your ski clothes in the dryer for a few minutes between runs!) Lande insists that since he is an owner operator and doesn’t have to include the usual 40% mark-up to cover management fees, his prices are below market value.
Lande and his wife, Eileen, both of whom have impeccable taste and are incredibly discriminating, have made sure that every condominium they rent is outfitted with all the amenities they would want at home. This includes down comforters and pillows, expensive linens, fully equipped kitchens (cappuccino machines, blenders, etc.), washers and dryers and Jacuzzi tubs or hot tubs. The best thing about renting from Lande is that you’ll probably get to meet him. Besides being charming and lots of fun, he is a true Whistler insider ready to share his wealth of information regarding favorite restaurants, preferred extreme skiing spots or the best places to shop. One of his properties, an extremely large two-bedroom, two bath condo with wood-burning fireplace in the Carleton Lodge ($450/night CDN), is located literally at the point where both the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas depart.
Thanks to the wonderful accommodation our family’s vacation was flawless. Your attention to detail seemed endless. I hope we have left the unit in satisfactory condition, as we look forward to coming back this summer.
Again Thank-you.
Terry Narazaki & Crew, Seattle, Washington
We had a great week! The accommodations were fantastic and very comfortable. See you for golf this summer. You’re ‘da best!!
