your service, and the whole experience was the best private rental
we have done."

nice time. Hope to do it again."
Scott Kaplan (Denver,CO)
"We had such a wonderful time in Whistler. The home couldn't
have been more perfect, and you made everything so easy for
us. I had a bad vacation rental experience once before,
but I'd go with Our Whistler Retreat again with great
confidence!"
Pat Vogel (Barrington, IL)
"We had an excellent experience at the town home, and we
greatly enjoyed our stay."
Sammy Wong (Burnaby,BC)
"Thanks Ann! This was by far the best weekend in Whistler
we have had. Your place was so close to
the village compared to the other rentals! I loved the
layout, it really felt like home and we didn't want to leave!
Thanks for making everything easy and getting back to me right away
with any questions. I will defiantly keep you posted for next
year!"
Megan Ackery (Surrey,BC)
"Thank you so much! I can't tell you what a fabulous
time we had. We go up to Whistler 2 - 3 times a year.
We generally stay at one of the hotels (Westin, Delta, Coast,
Fairmount …). Montebello trumped these! It was so well
laid out, accessible, close to town, and just easy.
We are looking at
going to Whistler again (hopefully in June). If so, I will
absolutely be in touch! Thank you so much once
again!!!!"
Sheri Evans
"Just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful stay at your
townhome. It had everything we needed. Close to the
village and gondolas. Thanks again!"
Julie Rugayan (Burnaby,BC)
"We had a great time and have recommended your services and the
townhome rental!
We loved the house and location! It was comfortable, fully
stocked, loved the private hot tub. We drove ($8 for the whole day
and night if we went back in for dinner) and stored our ski
gear
at the free Carleton overnight storage - the rental company you
guys recommended. We used the nanny service that you suggested and
that worked out great too."
Nancy Morgan (Seattle, WA)
"You will be my first pick the next time I'm out your way. Very smooth operation you have. My friends were all impressed with how it all went. Very satisfied with the product too."
Adam Cocks (Cold Lake,AB)
"Thank you so much for all your help! This has been the
worst
part of the trip; all the planning. You definitely made our job
much easier.
Thank you for your quick response and willingness to help at any
expense."
Tanya Hunter (Hood River,OR)
"Thanks for your help with the reservation Ann. It was a very nice place and everyone had a terrific time. The snow was perfect and we had sunshine for most of the week. The kids were all saying it may have overtaken there number one best vacation ever, so that must mean it was a big hit. We skied everyday and also went snowmobiling the last day which was really fun as well. Thanks again for all the help getting it arranged. Enjoy the New Year and hopefully we will get a chance to come out again."
Bill Jellison (York, PA)

perfect for us and we were
very impressed with all it had to offer :) We will definitely be
booking with
you in the future!"
Christel Warner (Kamloops, BC)
"Just a quick note to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed the
accommodations this weekend. It was perfectly located near all the
activities in the Village, comfortable and well-equipped -- it was
so great to be able to cook meals together - and the hot tub was a
great addition too! I'll
definitely recommend your place to others and will consider it for
future trips."

was so impressed with the lovely house and we had a wonderful time
in Whistler!"

Owen Allen (Washington DC)
"Whistler is a favorite! The skiing is practically beyond words; Tim and I had all we could do to keep up with our sons: backcountry skiing, the glaciers, the steep steeps...ahhh! The home was the perfect companion for our adventurous days on the mountains! We loved relaxing after the full days outdoors; the hot tub soothed our aches, the grill afforded us some very nice meals, and we found the house so nicely maintained, all appreciated! It's a lovely area: wonderful people, great restaurants, and amazing scenery! We'll be back...and will be in touch when we do! Many thanks!"
Pat Losik (Rye, NH)

pleasure to stay at. It was more beautiful in person and all my

Port Moody, BC
"We just got back from the Wedding After Party in Vegas. I want
to thank you so very much for such an amazing stay. The condo is
absolutely gorgeous and we passed around your contact details to a
few people. Your condo was exactly what we needed for the weekend
with our guests. The living room made for amazing photos as the
girls got me ready and Mike and I had photos taken in the back
lawn. The weekend was absolutely perfect. Thank you again and we
cannot wait for the opportunity to stay there again."
Micheline Cyr (Vancouver , BC)
"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say we had an excellent time at your place. Apart from the weather, the weekend getaway for our friends and us was flawless. Given the weather we spent more time just hanging out in the units and catching up. The place was better stocked with some of the staples like sugar and spices, than most other place we have stayed and was greatly appreciated. Overall we had a great stay.
Our friends have recommended your place to some friends in
Seattle who are looking for a place this winter. We will be sure to
do the same."
Jason Tielker (Vancouver , BC)
"Ann, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at the Montebello townhouses. They were perfect for our family reunion and anniversary celebration. Everyone enjoyed the many activities available. We all went up to the top of Whistler where several family members took part in a run. We rode the Peak to Peak gondola to Blackcomb which was thrilling, beautiful and fun."
...We never can seem to get together in one place at the same
time. Thanks to you and The Whistler Retreat we did!
Ann Winter (Olympia , WA)
"The house was immaculate. The linens were of excellent quality. The beds are comfortable with a wide choice of pillows. Also, Ann provides additional padding if you want to make the bed extra soft. My sister and I love to cook. The Thermador oven and stove were a treat. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The house is located 1 block from the village which is perfect for enjoying the village but avoiding the noise and crowds. The Zappa bike/hike trails are a block away. Do not miss this beautiful adventure."
Sherrie (El Dorado Hills)
"Thanks for your welcome home message, we had a wonderful time, the weather was a bit mixed but didn't stop us enjoying ourselves. The accommodation was great plenty of room to relax in we would certainly return again someday."
Kind Regards (John Balmer, UK)

Sean Mahoney (West Vancouver, BC)
"We had a wonderful time & the place was excellent (as expected). I appreciate the extended check-in & check out hours.

"I want to thank you for all the work you did to make our trip to Whistler so enjoyable. The accommodations were absolutely perfect and the dinner recommendations you made, especially the Rimrock Cafe, were fantastic. We would definitely go back, I just wish we could have stayed the entire month of August. If you ever need a reference, please feel free to contact me."
Lamont Meek (Plano, Texas)
"My friends, husband and myself were extremely impressed by the montebello development. Our unit was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed making meals in the modern and convenient kitchen. I would add that the price was extremely good for the quality of accommodations. The location was fantastic and we enjoyed walking to the village and mountain biking right from our doorstep. We even saw two bears right at the intersection of Lorimer and Blackcomb-Yikes! We would highly recommend your services and your accommodations to anyone we know, and would come back again. Your website was also great and extremely user-friendly. Thank you for your great service and the use of a fabulous holiday home!"
Sincerely,
Jackie and John Impy (Calgary, Alberta)
"Thanks for all your help in reserving the condo in Whistler. Our group had a wonderful time, and the house was gorgeous. My husband and I slept like babies. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the village, not so close it was too noisy all night, not so far that we couldn't walk to the village or the lake. It was a lovely vacation in a lovely home, and I appreciated your attention to easing the reservation process. Can't wait to go back! Thanks again."
Sandy Rudolph (Issaquah, WA)
"We had a great time...it was beautiful....the home was fabulous, true luxury, everyone had a great time... thanks again Sharon"
Sharon Kerr (Mercer Island, WA)
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip again this year. The boys skied all 6 days and I managed to ski 4 leaving 1 day for the spa and 1 for milling around in the village. Your recommendation to Vida Spa was great. Holly, Tara and I felt like queens. We plan to come back next year. Thank you for sharing your home."
Kristin Manwaring (Port Townsend, WA)

"We had an absolutely wonderful time and loved your place. all agreed it should be our yearly gathering spot. you made it very special for us and i want to thank you for that Ann."
Sandi Everlove (Seattle, WA)
"Like I said before, we loved the condo and the extra amenities were wonderful: heated floors, double shower head in bathroom and the boot/glove dryer was key! I think we all got some good ideas of what we want our future houses/ski condos to be like some day. Thanks for all your help and making our trip so enjoyable and nice! Your directions up there were great as we didn't know of that other route to Canada. We also found your tip on calling for a cab to be essential for skiing. Actually, I think we got to know a few of the cab drivers because we decided it was well worth the $5 to call."
Michelle Guthrie (Seattle)
"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us, we could not have asked for a more perfect setting for our Thanksgiving holiday. We had an absolutely fantastic time and loved your place. My wife is determined to return very soon and we will definitely call you. Thanks again."

"We could not have been more impressed with your beautiful home. Everyone was excited about my choice and we were very pleased to see how clean and well kept your home was. There is always a fear of the unknown, but I felt confident that we had a great place however the other ladies were not so sure until they walked in and saw what a wonderful place we had. We are also appreciative of the fact that you do not allow pets or smoking...We thoroughly enjoyed your home."
Sharon McIntyre (New York)

Alicia Hopkins (B.C.)
"We have had a wonderful time at Whistler and found the home extremely pleasant to stay in. You see we normally go for hotels. Renting a home is a new adventure for us and it turned out to be extremely worthwhile and far more interesting than hotels. Me and my guests are looking forward to a future holiday some time! We particularly felt that the thoughts and care that has gone into the interior decoration has made the home truly homely."
