Right on the free #5 busline, so super easy to get to both villages. You can walk, but its a little "hilly".
Rooms are spacious. Hot tub is the biggest in the area (and Ive stayed at a dozen+ places in Whistler).
Beautiful location, Lost Lake is right below and a lovely hike. Highly recommend.

Incredible stay at Horstman! We stayed 7 nights in a one bedroom. The location is perfect, close to Lost Lake which meant we could easily walk there. The free bus shuttle to Whistler and Blackcomb base is an amazing extra perk, running every 30 minutes. Hot tub and pool grounds were always clean and not crowded. Bring items like ziplock bags, serán wrap, salt, pepper, foil and coffee filters, these were not available. You can always buy these at Fresh Street market, that was our go to. The cleaning staff was great, if you need extra towels etc just ask :) PS you can rent bikes in the village and store them in the bike lockers at the lodge. To the security code comments, it’s not that bad! I’d rather have the peace of mind and feel safe. :)
We will be back! Love this place!

We were in town for a week of golf, and HH was a wonderful place to call home. The hotel is in a quiet part of town, yet it’s only a 20-minute walk to the village or a quick 5-minute ride on the free shuttle.
We stayed in Unit #314, a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite. The bedrooms were large with very comfortable beds, the living room was roomy and inviting, and the well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed. The suite was spotless, well maintained, and felt like a home away from home.
The hotel was fairly quiet during our stay, so it almost felt like we had our own private swimming pool and hot tub.
If you need to stay connected, there are two TVs. But we preferred sitting on the deck overlooking the forest with a glass of wine or a cold beer, often enjoying dinner outside. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a bear or a deer wandering by.

We’d happily stay here again on our next golf trip.

Suite 309! This was a great place to stay in the spring. It took 15 minutes to walk to the upper village and then another 10-15 to walk to the lower village but worth the extra steps. There is a free whistler shuttle bus but we did not end up taking it. I can see it being helpful for people with mobility issues or someone who might not want to spend extra time walking into the village.
We especially loved the pool which was nestled in the trees, as well as the view from our suite. The suite had everything we needed and more. Lots of space, everything needed in a kitchen and bonus was a stackable washer and dryer which would have been great of our kids were younger - as they went through so much laundry. There is a kids space on the main floor will tv, games, pool and foosball. If we stayed longer, we would have definitely used that.

When we came, the balcony door was so difficult to open that I spend half an hour trying to open it, as if it was the secret Da Vinci Code or something. And then when I tried to call the front desk, it was as difficult as getting in contact with PM of Canada. Ultimately we gave up and had to do everything ourselves. Even the shutters are very difficult to pull up and down. They've intentionally made everything as difficult as possible for the guests.

Then, 3 LIGHTS IN TOTAL WERENT WORKING out of which 2 were in bedroom so we hardly had any light there. Next day, when I tried to wash my hair, there was NO BODY WASH IN BATHROOM which means when it's over, they don't refill or check everything between guests and then you can't contact their front desk. Neither do they connect you to correct number nor do they respond to messages on the guest portal. And there were no toiletries or anything they provide to begin with. Even something as simple as coffee, they keep exactly only 2 for 2 days so you don't dare and have any more when they clearly don't have a cafe or a resturant nearby.

The parking was cumbersome and difficult and the space was too small to park a car as well. And then they have a long list if fines that you as a guest will be charged if you don't leave the property spotlessly clean or something.

Overall, the location is good, but the property is managed so badly and is so dysfunctional that it's misleading to believe you'll have a 4 star service. 2 star motels are usually far better.
