Golden Dreams - not silver service, but bronzed owners. Great!

You won’t go wrong at Golden Dreams. Ann and Terry (a local ski instructor legend, by all accounts) have clearly been doing this for years. There’s an air of laissez-faire – it’s relaxed, the kids are all right, and you’re well looked after. Soon after arrival I was chatting away to Terry who offered me a beer as he painted the balustrade outside, their kids and mates bounced on the trampoline in the garden, and the world weary dog nuzzled up for a cuddle. It’s that kind of place.

The house is set up with the owners’ area at the front and the guest bedrooms at the rear, with easy-come easy-go access. Our room was the Rain Forest Room, with accompanying earthy tones. Lavender chintz, it wasn’t. It was adequate, clean and relatively spacious though a little dark, with a private bathroom across a hallway.

There was a huge guest kitchen, though I was initally unsure as to what we could legitimately “raid”. We only wanted teas and coffees – no worries in that regard. Ann’s breakfasts were excellent – classic Canadian fare with some interesting variations. They were served at the dining table adjacent to the kitchen, where we met the other guests from downstairs. The first morning we met a pair of Vancouverite lovebirds, seemingly barely out of High School, the second was a classic B&B encounter. Fascinating French Canadian and French visitors, willing to engage in good humoured debate about the world in general. Great fun.

Ann (it’s all about the deal!) suggested two great places to eat, including an excellent and moderately priced pizza/pasta place in the village, and the extraordinarily cheap early night at the local Fairmont, the chain of 4/5 star luxury hotels which seem to populate every tourist hotspot in Canada. Ann and Terry were there as well - always good to see the hosts practising what they preach.

All up, a great place to stay in Whistler, though don’t even try and book for during the Olympics. They were booked out a long time ago. A car’s ideal, for it’s a little way out of the village centre, but I heard Terry saying the bus shuttle service was frequent, and parking won’t ever be easy, despite the huge day lots on the edge of the pedestrian precinct. They got full very quickly.

I stayed at Golden Dreams October 6-7th 2008. The room and bathroom were very clean, breakfast was different every morning and Ann the owner and hostess was very helpful.
It is not in the middle of the village but it is a very nice from from the B&B to it and there are buses too. I would certainly recommend the place to others.

We stayed at Golden Dreams for two nights 18th/19th September, during our journey across to Vancouver Island. Our host Ann was friendly and well organised. She gave us much valued advice on making the most of our brief stay. We walked into town on the first evening,using one of the many trails created for visitors. Later in the evening we used the guest lounge, made ourselves tea/coffee and talked to other guests and to Ann - one of the advantages of a good B&B! Our room (the Wild West Room) was comfortable and spacious with a feather bed - we slept very well. After a wonderful breakfast we used the discounted gondola passes from Ann, and travelled to the top of Whistler and walked back down to the top gondala station on one of the ski routes. The views were very impressive and we saw black bears from the gondala and met ground squirrels and marmots on our walk. Another sociable evening and a great breakfast and we had to leave, sorry that we were not able to stay longer. We would recommend Golden Dreams to anyone wanting a conveniently located, well appointed and well run B&B.

Coldest B&B hospitality in 27 years

Usually, B&B tend to be a little "home far from home".
Definitely not his one.
Maybe it's just me, being a sole traveller for one night, or maybe just unlucky with a bad day, but completely contrary to the warm recommendations, this was definitely the coldest hospitality in 27 years of travelling around the world.
First, place is way far out of village. Unless having a vehicle, paid bus (unlike the village free shuttle) gets only every 30-60 minutes.
When finally got there, wasn't even offered a glass of water until asked for... , but instantly ordered to take of my shoes..
Room reasonable and clean, but whole evening until very late, there was no one around to address problems or questions.
Breakfast was OK but though previously noticed about being diabetic who cannot handle sugar, breakfast was a french toast with jam. Okay, mistakes do happen, but when referred, the hostess just tried to scalp the poor toast of the jam ... A bit of bad taste for 120$..
Instructions about Gondola operating hours were wrong, and for treks, I was just handed a map.
Definitely not a place to recommend to any friend.

In june we spent 3 days and nights in Golden Dreams B&B in Whistler - British Colombia. The hostess Ann gave us a warm welcome, showed us our "Western room" where we felt like real cowboys. And there was also a hottub on the balcony. The 3 breakfasts she made us were excellent! She really wanted to spoil her guests. Their dog Sam is just adorable. All the elements like a very clean room, bathroom, delicious breakfast, lovely hostess, only a 25 minute walk away from the city Whistler in a very green environment, made this holiday fantastic for us!
