Villa Dana is tucked into several private acres of forest in an exclusive neighborhood above downtown Whistler. This expansive vacation rental boasts gorgeous Whistler and Blackcomb mountain views; easy access to skiing, shopping and dining; and beautiful finishes that put a modern twist on traditional lodge style. If you have come to Whistler to ski or board, you will find Whistler Village and the Blackcomb Excalibur gondola about 9.2 km away, and the Peak 2 Peak gondola 10 km away; the village also has great apres-ski dining and nightlife. In warmer weather, play a round at Whistler Golf Club, just over 6 miles away, or take a hike and listen to the water roar at Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, 17 km away.

The gently curved exterior and picture windows of this stunning retreat allow for panoramic views in the great room and kitchen. Wood shingles and stone on the exterior are matched inside by soaring wood-paneled ceilings and a double-height stone fireplace in the sitting and formal dining areas, and wrought-iron sconces, carved wooden chests and brocade chairs add touches of Old World elegance. Wide-plank wood floors and a farmhouse-style breakfast table make the fully equipped kitchen warm and welcoming. There are five bedrooms in the main house, all with en-suite bathrooms, and one bedroom in the separate guest house. Kids will love watching movies in the media room and playing at the pool table, while adults can serve refreshments from the wine cellar and wet bar.

The villa has plenty of both outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the mountain views and snug indoor areas where you can cozy up for a read or a chat. Covered outdoor living and dining areas with sun loungers and a table that seats eight look out over more than four acres of grounds, including a serene old-growth forest. There is also a barbecue, hot tub and outdoor fireplace so you can entertain with ease or just enjoy a soak after a day on the slopes.
