Wonderful stay
Our friends and family had a wonderful stay in Big White. The only downer was the very cold weather, but the amazing accommodations made it easy to be stuck inside. The host was great at communicating with us during the stay and I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!
Our group of friends had an excellent time at this gorgeous home. Plenty big enough for us all and had lots of great features and amenities. Our only wish would be a bit more information on the ski-in route, although it may be because we were late in the season.

Mice Infestation & Fraudulent Transaction
We reported to Laurinda seeing a mouse running along the kitchen countertop and behind the stove on the first night of our 4 night stay. We could not use the kitchen properly for the entire time of our stay and had to keep all food stored away and off the counters. Laurinda said this is normal for the area and did not offer to have anyone come to take care of the rodent problem during our 4 night stay and said the cleaners will set up traps after we check out. We are also still waiting for our refundable deposit of $1000 that we paid at time of booking in November of 2023. Since checkout, she confirmed to me through multiple emails that our $1000 deposit will be refunded and keeps making up excuses. She said we should have received it within 7-10 days of departure but still have not to date. It's been 4 months now. She has not replied to my most recent voice message or email. We have rented elsewhere multiple times at Big White resort and this is the first time that I have had to leave any negative feedback. Do not book with Laurinda Kalawarny Summers.

A wonderful time had by all
Great location! Beautiful chalet, especially the main floor living/dining room & kitchen area. Gorgeous views! A bit of a strange layout though. Equipment room off of laundry on split level between main and lower levels not convenient at all. You come and go from the lower level. It would make much more sense to outfit part of the lower level as a gear room. That’s where we ended up leaving our ski equipment. Beds very comfortable, linens soft and inviting. Bunk bed rooms, however, have absolutely NO storage. The kids had to utilize the unused beds as a place to put their clothing. A couple of shelves in both rooms would solve this problem. Lighting is very dim in all the bedrooms as well because there are no side table lamps in the bedrooms upstairs or wall lamps for each bunk bed. Easy fix as well. Ski in/out works well, provided there is snow on the road. Otherwise, a bit of chore to walk to and from. Not an issue if you have a car. Owner easy to reach and quick to respond. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would stay again.

Ski weekend group of 8
Our group has been to 5 different Canadian ski towns. Always have received great reviews and given great reviews. The house location is good for Big White, but the layout is not ideal for a group of 8 as there are no large spaces for the group to be together. The lower bedrooms are tiny and don’t really fit adults in those bunkbeds very easily. Laurinda (the owner) needs to hire vacasa or a rental management company. She is an out of town owner who doesn’t have the ability to currently manage her house. Upon check in, we reached out to her to address several issues and she clearly did not have any interest in assisting with the following issues: -no soap/no shampoo (she said she no longer supplies them) -the washing machine is broken which she informed us about upon check in and several of us planned to use the laundry. -there is no tv service and non canadian streaming services don’t work in canada. There are 7 controllers upstair by the tv-good luck. -no kitchen knives or sponges to prep a meal. -bbq had no propane -upon check in she told us we are required to take our garbage with us which would have been nice to know before hand. We drove to kelowna and bought her shampoo, a broom, sponges and a tank of propane. You are welcome Laurinda. Needless to say, we were not impressed.

Ski Big White
This was a great space for our two families. Teens enjoyed having own rooms and living room space. Hot tub was a wonderful feature and was used often. A few little things came up - not enough kleenex, no kindling for fire place, ice machine in fridge not working - but overall our experience was fantastic and we'd certainly book again. Laurinda was easy to deal with and responded extremely quickly.

CAUTION
This home, at first glance seemed ideal. Spacious and cozy. Until we got settled in. I could ramble on and on about the problems with our stay; the hot tub wasn't working, some very basic necessities were missing, there was garbage left behind, the BBQ was disgustingly dirty, etc..... Overall, we didn't feel that it met the standards of a rental of that cost. BUT, it all pales in comparison to the awful experience with the owner. We tried to cancel when the new Covid rules of "no unessential travel", including ski holidays, came out. She told us that those rules do not apply at Big White and she would not refund our money. We took our chances and stayed there anyway, since we couldn't get a refund. When sharing the good and not so good points of our stay, she blamed her cleaning staff and at the same time, said that she was there cleaning, herself. When asked for some form of compensation for the lack of the home meeting her listed advertisement, she refused to address that and instead made all sorts of excuses. She went on to accuse us of purposely leaving the home a mess. Which could not be further from the truth. With the lies, accusations and game playing, I cannot put into words how upsetting and difficult it has been to work with this owner. I caution future renters.

Great Location, very nice chalet.
This was our 8th year in a row to big white and again it did not disappoint. This chalet was very nicely renovated and modernized. It came with a very nice sound system to play music, two wine/beer fridges on the main floor and all brand new appliances which made cooking / cleaning a breeze. A minor downfall was the size of the hot tub which could only fit 4 people comfortably, but speaking to the owner this was next on the renovation list! The ski in was very easy (ski down serwa's, past the lower snow pines exit, and you'll see the snow pines estate exit. Take this all the way to the road and go left. Then go right on snow pines road and it takes you right to the front door.) And the ski out was just a short ski down the road. Night skiing is still do able from this chalet but the lift required to get back close around 330 pm. Good news is the big white shuttle runs till 11 pm free of charge and arrives every 30 minutes. Get on at the village, and get off at the snow pines stop (1 stop after lower snow pines) this will place you practically right behind the house, and a couple minute walk back to the front of the chalet. 100% would rent again, and with an upgraded hot tub this chalet would be one of the best places to date that I have ever stayed in big white.

Perfect Big White Chalet
This place was perfect for 8 of us on our annual guys ski trip. Nicely renovated, great view, close to the lifts. A few minute walk down the street to strap in to get to the lifts, and a closer walk back on the ski-out run. Had everything we were looking for; hot tub, bbq grill, washer/dryer, ski/board racks, 4 bedrooms (2 with 2 sets of bunks) for 10 beds, 3 bathrooms, big great room area with awesome mountain views. Would recommend for families or group ski vacation!
