Find the perfect place to stay in Whistler
Nicklaus North is one of Whistler's most prestigious and peaceful neighborhoods, sitting just five minutes north of Whistler Village on the shores of Green Lake. Built around the world-renowned Nicklaus North Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus himself, this quiet and spacious neighborhood is a world away from the bustle of the main village while still being close enough to enjoy everything Whistler has to offer. With sweeping views of Blackcomb Mountain, large private homes and townhomes, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the Sea to Sky corridor right outside your door, a Nicklaus North vacation rental is the definition of a true mountain retreat.
Nicklaus North Vacation Rentals for Skiers & Snowboarders
Nicklaus North is just a short drive or Valley Trail ride from both the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas, making it a practical and comfortable base for a ski or snowboard trip. The neighborhood's spacious properties are perfectly suited for larger groups and families who want plenty of room to spread out after a big day on Whistler Blackcomb. Return to a private chalet with mountain views, settle in, and let the stillness of Nicklaus North wind the day down properly.
Nicklaus North Vacation Rentals for Golf, Water Sports & Summer Adventure
Summer is when Nicklaus North is truly in its element. The Nicklaus North Golf Course is one of Canada's most celebrated and scenic courses, nestled between Green Lake and the River of Golden Dreams with jaw-dropping glacial mountain views on every hole. It is a bucket list round for golfers visiting Whistler and arguably the best reason to choose this neighborhood in the warmer months. After your round, Table 19 at the Nicklaus North Clubhouse is widely regarded as one of Whistler's best patios, with lakeside views of Green Lake that are hard to beat on a warm summer evening.
Green Lake is the only lake in Whistler where motorized watercraft are permitted, making it a one-of-a-kind summer destination in the corridor. Wakeboarding, water skiing, and wake surfing are all popular on the lake, and for those who prefer a more serene pace, fly fishing on Green Lake and the surrounding waters is world-class. Harbour Air floatplanes also operate on Green Lake, offering breathtaking scenic flights over the Coast Mountains that are an unforgettable addition to any Whistler summer trip.

A History and Overview of Whistler
Whistler and the surrounding areas hold thousands of years of history as these lands were the home of the Coast Salish First Nations before Europeans arrived, with Whistler serving as a valuable trading post between the Squamish and Lil'wat nations. Many of the hiking tracks around Whistler are actually the traditional routes of the Coast Salish peoples, and you can follow their paths to view nature and the landscape similarly to how they once did. You can also visit the Squamish-Lil'wat Cultural Centre to get a complete grasp of the region's history and identity.
Named "Whistler" thanks to the shrill sound that the local hoary marmot populations make, the early 1900s saw European settlement, first as a small hunting and fishing village, then as a successful mining town until the 1950s turned it into a popular summer vacation spot. The 1960s saw the first ski resort on the mountain open, and then in 2010, Whistler hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
