Despite Whistler being one of the most popular and the largest ski resorts in North America, the mountain town is a year-round destination. In summer, it transforms into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Downhill mountain biking is a popular activity, and the outstanding natural beauty of the area makes it a top green tourism destination. The mountain culture extends from the village, too. You can SUP it on Nita Lake, fly fish on Green Lake, enjoy the beautiful hiking trails, or catch a glimpse of black bears from the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. Regardless of what time of year you’re planning a trip, accommodation in Whistler books up far in advance and can be costly. There are a couple of solutions here. The first is to opt for a self-catering option, such as one of the many Airbnb Whistler rentals. The second is to gather a group of friends and family and split the cost. Some of the Airbnbs listed here are ski-in/ski-out rentals. Others have sprawling deck areas perfect for summertime grilling. All have rave reviews, Superhost status, and every amenity you need for an unforgettable trip to Whistler.

The best times to visit Whistler
Winter (December to February)

Winter is the most popular time to visit Whistler. The area becomes a winter wonderland, with snow-covered peaks and frosty trees. It’s a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and ice skating. Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America, offers over 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers.
Spring (March to May)
As the snow melts away, Whistler transforms into a vibrant springtime retreat. While you can still enjoy some late-season skiing, this is also a great time to explore hiking trails and witness the blooming wildflowers. Spring events include the World Ski & Snowboard Festival and GO Fest, Whistler’s Great Outdoors Festival.
Summer (June to August)

During the summer, the mountains become a playground for hiking, mountain biking, golfing, and fishing. You can also enjoy water activities like canoeing, kayaking, and white-water rafting on the area’s lakes and rivers. The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is a must-do, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains, forests, and lakes.
Autumn (September to November)
Autumn is a fantastic time to visit Whistler if you enjoy stunning fall foliage. The changing colors of the leaves against the backdrop of the mountains create a beautiful scenery. It’s a quieter time of year, perfect for peaceful hikes and wildlife spotting. This is also the time for food and drink festivals like Cornucopia.

Cozy apartment in The Aspens resort
This rental is listed to accommodate five guests. However, there is only one bedroom. The living area can be transformed into double and single beds. That might not work for all group dynamics (other than a small family who are happy to sleep in one room.) The apartment is part of The Aspens, a resort-like complex that is a perfect location for summer or winter. The unit is on the quiet side of the resort with a view of Lower Merlins, the run that passes right below the balcony. For a self-catering vacation rental, this Airbnb is unique in that you have access to resort amenities such as the hotel-sized pool, three jacuzzi hot tubs, and an official Vail Whistler Blackcomb ski shop.
Five guests, one bedrooms
Price: $517 per night
One-bedroom cozy mountain get-away
If you’d prefer something a little more homely, check out this penthouse condominium on Nicklaus North Golf Course. Whistler Village is only a five-minute drive away, and you’re steps from Harbour Air Terminal, world-class golfing and mountain biking, and Whistler’s best patio. If you are driving in, it also has complimentary underground parking and bike storage for up to four bikes. The decor is opulent, but it’s more relaxed and less stylized than many of the other listings. An outdoor heater on the balcony is another nice touch — the perfect spot for an après-ski sundowner with a view.
Two guests, one bedrooms
Price: $249 per night
