The Best Airbnb Cabins and Condos for Families in Whistler (April 2024)

Whistler is a fun and lively ski destination that brings in skiers and snowboarders from around the world. There are a number of great areas for families that span well beyond Whistler Village.

Whistler Village

Whistler Village is the most famous area in Whistler. It really is at the heart of everything and its central location means you have easy access to a lively community as well as the area's most popular slopes. The village's pedestrian-only area is filled with great restaurants, shops, and a cool vibe. Whistler Village attracts crowds that enjoy skiing, partying, and generally soaking up everything that the town has to offer. The area is filled with tourists who love the resort feel and convenience of having everything at your fingertips. For families who want to be in the center of the action, this is the place to stay.

Creekside Village

Creekside Village offers a nice family-friendly alternative to Whistler Village. It was actually the original ski village in the area and is right at the base of the mountain. It's located about 7 kilometers from Whistler Village and offers many similar conveniences including ski-in/ski-out options and easy access to the gondola.

Creekside Village is a great option for many families because it's a bit quieter without the party oriented vibe that Whistler Village is known for. Families appreciate the laid back atmosphere that still provides easy access to everything the area has to offer.

Creekside Village has a family-friendly atmosphere with lots of kid friendly restaurants and activities. The area also has plenty of biking, skiing, and other outdoor activities.
