Find the perfect place to stay in Whistler

Just 30 minutes north of Whistler along the stunning Sea to Sky Highway, Pemberton is one of British Columbia's best-kept secrets and one of the most compelling alternatives to staying in the resort itself. Nestled in a broad, fertile valley at the base of the iconic Mount Currie, Pemberton is an authentic, working agricultural community with deep roots, genuine character, and an extraordinary natural playground on its doorstep. More spacious, more affordable, and warmer in summer than Whistler, Pemberton offers a different pace and a different perspective on Sea to Sky living, without sacrificing any of the adventure that makes this corridor world-famous. A vacation rental in Pemberton is the ideal base for those who want the full mountain experience with a little more room to breathe.

Pemberton Vacation Rentals for Skiers & Snowboarders

Whistler Blackcomb is just a 30-minute drive south, making Pemberton a practical and often more affordable base for a ski or snowboard trip. For those seeking adventure beyond the groomed slopes, Pemberton is one of the premier snowmobiling destinations in Western Canada, with access to the vast Pemberton Ice Fields offering endless backcountry terrain. Heli-skiing into the remote Coast Mountains backcountry is also available in the area, making Pemberton a genuinely compelling winter destination for those who want to push beyond the boundaries of the resort.

Pemberton Vacation Rentals for Mountain Biking, Hiking & Summer Adventure

Summer in Pemberton is extraordinary. The Pemberton Valley Trail network offers mountain biking and hiking through farmland, forest, and alpine singletrack, with trails suited to every level of rider and walker. Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, just a short drive from town, is one of the most celebrated and searched day hikes in all of British Columbia, climbing through old-growth forest to three stunning turquoise glacial lakes that have to be seen to be believed. Nairn Falls Provincial Park offers an equally beautiful and accessible hike to a dramatic 60 metre waterfall on the Green River. For those seeking more adrenaline, river rafting and jet boating on the Lillooet River, horseback riding through the valley meadows, and paragliding above the Coast Mountains are all on the table. The Pemberton Farmers Market, running from June through October, is a beloved community institution where the valley's famous fresh produce, local crafts, and authentic Sea to Sky flavour come together every week.

Pemberton Golf & Big Sky Golf Club 

For golfers, Big Sky Golf and Country Club is one of the most scenic and highly regarded courses in British Columbia, set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Currie and the surrounding peaks. With wide open fairways, mountain views on every hole, and a fraction of the crowds of Whistler's courses, a round at Big Sky is a highlight of any Pemberton stay.

Pemberton Vacation Rentals for Families & Groups

Pemberton is an exceptional choice for families and groups looking for space, value, and a genuine connection to the land. One Mile Lake is a beloved local gem, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, picnicking, and long, lazy summer afternoons by the water. The North Arm Farm offers farm tours and celebrated farm-to-table dining, giving families a taste of authentic valley life that is hard to find anywhere else in the Sea to Sky. With large private homes, chalets, and properties set against some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in British Columbia, a Pemberton vacation rental offers a level of space and privacy that the resort simply cannot match.
