Horstman Lane is the pre-eminent slopeside location in Whistler. With a commanding position in the Upper Village, and featuring exclusively multi-$m standalone chalets, it is the place to be if you want the very best.
This is a particularly fine example of a Horstmann home. Massive log construction combined with a voluminous, airy interior gives the luxurious feel of a mountain cabin that is also spacious and sophisticated.
A large heated driveway in front of the house offers plentiful snow-free parking (in addition to the double garage). Entry is into a large hallway, with a passage through to the kitchen on the left and access to the double garage on the right. Stone floors with oriental rugs offer a walkway through to the main reception area which has wooden floors, more rugs and extensive seating. The main seating area is in front of the panoramic windows; to the right is a secondary seating area by the large stone fireplace. To the left is a large dining table, and left again leads back to the professional quality kitchen with every imaginable appliance and acres of granite countertop. The dining area has its own wood-burning fireplace. Doors lead outside to an expansive deck with spectacular views over the Whistler valley.
Stairs up from the hallway lead to a gallery overlooking the reception area, and a loft/den with another fireplace, more seating and a comfortable desk if you need to catch up on a bit of work during your holiday. One side of the gallery leads to the master bedroom with king bed and very large ensuite bathroom, and 2 other bedrooms, each with queen bed, as well as a second bathroom.
Stairs down from the main floor hallway lead to a den with sofa and TV and access to the very large deck with private hot tub. Either side of the den are 2 additional bedrooms, one queen and one with 2 twins, and 2 additional bathrooms.
Horstman Lane has its own ski-home trail off Home Run on Blackcomb; please note that the last 30 yards of the ski-home trail is fairly steep. The lifts can be accessed either via the Village Shuttle or by a 5 minute walk to the slopes.
