We stayed here for 4 nights and had such a great time. The property is very convenient for getting on and off the mountain which made things very easy with the kids. We will definitely be booking again in the future and letting all of our friends and family know to do the same.

It was a pleasure having your family. You were very low maintenance and obeyed all the rules for checkout appreciated
We had a fabulous week staying at the Big Pow Chalet. The property is well appointed, and has everything you need for a great vacation. Marlena is great, she made sure we were comfy and was easy to communicate with. The ski in/ ski out is very convenient, and the hot tub was so nice after a long day skiing! We will definitely stay here again.

Just an awesome ski chalet with the best, super helpful and friendly host! The location for ski in/out is perfect. Great lounge and kitchen. We were 2 couples - so one upstairs, one down. Enjoyed the deck hot tub.
We highly recommend this chalet and hope to return.

Our blended family wanted a place where we had enough space for everyone but where we could all come together as a family to enjoy our ski trip vacation. Marlena’s place did not disappoint. From the perfect location, to the comfortable sleeping arrangements and fully equipped kitchen we had everything we needed right where we needed it and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. We hope to stay here again!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Dec 2023
Glad you had a great stay Roger. I personally washed all the bedding but unfortunately there is a bleach stain on the inside of the duvet that turned the grey to yellow. I will switch it out. In future please do not park outside my garage door as per instructions as I had several notices from my strata council. My townhouse has 1 spot in my garage and 1 against the snow bank under the lift (where your Jeep was). Thanks hope you enjoy the rest of the ski season!
Marlena
The property was immaculate when we arrived. It had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals and all of the linens were clean and spot free.
Marlena was very helpful giving us ideas of where to take our kids to enjoy some activities and was very easy to talk to.
Would absolutely stay again :)

Perfectly situated corner home with lots of light. Ski-in/out couldn't have been simpler. Kitchen equipped with anything you'd need. And Marlena was super responsive and helpful with the inside scoop on Big White.

Mark, I know we had been communicating and you had written a review but it just reached my end on VRBO now sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. You left our place in great shape and my son enjoyed giving you some inside snowboarding tips on great runs. Sure hope you come again, I will also send you a link for summer as we will be hosting summer with options like boat/wakeboard trips. See ya

About the host
Hosted by Marlena
We have been coming to Big White in the winter and summer for the past four years and just love the mountains and amazing family vibe at Biggie! August 2021 we re- located from Saskatchewan to the Kelowna area. We are excited to build traveler reviews on VRBO for upcoming seasons. Brent works in Supply at BHP (an Australian mining company) and Marlena is an independent HR Consultant. We are easy to deal with and honest people. We have good reliable contractors on-mountain. We inspect our townhome to ensure it has been cleaned to high standards before you arrive. When we rented a condo in Maui, we reported to owner that we accidentally broke a nice ceramic bowl- she didn't even charge us because we brought it to her attention! As an owner, we expect others to treat us the same as we treat our guests, with care and respect.
Why they chose this property
We are very clean and organized and updated (2019) the town home with some new furniture, linens, kitchen ware, hot tub, paint, etc. We have two buys who love the mountains. Our place is perfect with 4 bedroom, garage, easy walk to village/restaurants, views from hot tub and quick access to the lift. Our boys are downhill mountain bikers in the summer and we love Big White in the summer. Marlena and Brent are known to hike often at Big White and in the Kelowna area.
