Outside
A gas Bar-B-Que and outdoor furniture is provided on the deck. The Valhalla complex offers a central courtyard hot-tub, and has attractive garden/lawn areas. During summer months, be aware that Whistler is also the home of numerous black bears, and they wander freely throughout the village and have been seen in the Valhalla area.
Coast/Beach
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lush rain forests are Lost Lake Beach (15 min walk from Valhalla) and Rainbow Park Beach (25 min walk from Valhalla). Both areas have sandy beaches/lawns, a jetty, swimming platform and clear waters. But remember, the lakes are glacier fed and best enjoyed on a hot, hot day.
Golf
Enjoy a leisurely walk to 2 of Whistler's famous championship golf courses: Whistler Golf Club, Arnold Palmer's first ever Canadian design, or Chateau Whistler Golf Club designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Just a short drive away (or take the bus) is Jack Nicklaus' signature design Nicklaus North Golf Course. With a fascinating blend of sprawling fairways, forested borders of ancient cedar & fir, lakes, creeks, waterfalls & wildlife, these 3 courses are favourites amongst the locals and a "must play" on your Whistler golf vacation. All courses offer full service Pro-shop facilities, learning centre, restaurant and much more. And if your game is a little off ... just enjoy the invigorating fresh air and spectacular mountain scenery. Need to practise your swing before hitting the course - visit the Whistler Village driving range just 10 minutes walk from Valhalla. Not enough golf yet? Drive to Pemberton to The Big Sky course or stop at Furry Creek Golf Course en route to Vancouver.
Skiing
Just 10 minutes walk or a free bus ride from Valhalla, Whistler & Blackcomb mountains provide over 8000 acres of terrain, 200+ trails (most groomed daily), a 5280' vertical drop (the highest in North America), 38 lifts and 33' average snowfall, plus numerous terrain parks & half-pipes, so it is easy to see why Whistler Ski Resort is rated #1 in North America. But don't be intimidated - Whistler/Blackcomb has skiing and boarding at all levels, short lift lines and just 1 ticket covers both mountains! Explore these huge mountains with a free Mountain Host guided tour at any level. Improve your ability at the Whistler Ski School with adult, teen, adaptive & children's programs. As host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics you can experience the Olympic Downhill runs and the state-of-the-art Nordic Centre at Callahan Country. For Nordic/cross-country enthusiasts, Whistler Village also has miles of trails (some lit for night skiing), with rental equipment and lessons also available.

Owner profile
"Hi" from Mike & Anne Murphy
About the owner
Allow us introduce ourselves: One evening in March 1970, Mike, a Canadian, met Anne, an Australian in Barcelona, Spain. After marrying in England we lived in Europe & North America working in international sports providing hospitality and catering. Travelling extensively, we needed a base for our 2 children and chose Vancouver BC. Canada where we developed a passion for skiing & the outdoor life. We discovered 'the ultimate' summer & winter destination at Whistler and purchased a vacation home there. This has been great for keeping our family active & together. Six years ago, we retired to Kelowna, BC on Lake Okanagan. We still love meeting great folks from around the world and do just that at our very busy B&B. Our children & spouses live close-by and we now have 2 lovely granddaughters.
Year purchased: 1995
Why the owner chose a home in this location
As our family loves outdoor activities we purchased a vacation home in Valhalla, perfectly located in a quiet sector of Whistler Village. Winter in Whistler is magic with fantastic skiing, but the summer is equally good, with young folks enjoying mountain biking, zip-trekking & more, while we enjoy golfing, hiking, the wildlife or relaxing at an outdoor café. We love to arrive at Valhalla by car, unload at the door & not see the car again until time to leave, as all essential stores are less than 1 minute walk, with the Whistler Gondolas 10 minutes walk (or free shuttle bus ride) and all restaurants, shops, nightclubs in between. For those visiting Whistler, we are pleased to offer advice for your stay at Valhalla & hope you leave thinking 'this was the best vacation accommodation ever!'
Unique benefits of the property
Valhalla has been perfect for our 2+2 family. Having lived out of a suitcase for years, we wanted a comfortable vacation home with everything: towels, sheets, full cooking equipment, HDTV, wireless internet service, etc. etc. All we needed to take was sports equipment and the appropriate clothes. With comfortable King/Twin beds in 2 bedrooms & ensuite bathrooms, (+ sofa bed & powder room) we & our guests love the adaptable amenities. Being very proud of this property, we work hard to ensure it is well presented, scrupulously clean and well maintained, knowing our family and guests appreciate our efforts as evident by our guests comments. In 2009 we totally renovated this property and love it even more with its updated look – modern with antique accents. A true 'Home Away From Home!'
