Family trip of a lifetime
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!

BW family getaway with grandma
Our multi-generational family had a great experience during our stay at Big Pow! The property was accurately described, the pictures portray the amenities very well. Exceptionally clean upon arrival; appreciative of many extra amenities including coffee, sugar, spices, popcorn & laundry supplies🙂The ski in/ ski out was very convenient- a bit of a hike to the village, but manageable. Very fun to watch & wave the skiers on the plaza chair right out the window. Communication was excellent with Marlena who sent a message as soon as the unit was ready for check-in; she also checked in with us mid stay. The only negative for us was the comfort of the beds- too soft for those of us with back problems who prefer a firmer mattress. I ended up taking the foam topper off the second upstairs bedroom for increased comfort. Overall a great unit, kids space on lower floor a bonus & owners very accommodating- would book the unit again.

Our stay at the chalet was seamless from start to finish! The place is in a great location, ski in and out, short 7 minute walk to the village if you need anything, garage parking. The kitchen is well-stocked and the whole place has labels everywhere to find the thing you need! The kids loved the Wii ABS board games. The beds are comfy and warm. The hot tub is new and clean And chemicals are balanced! (No itchy skin!) Communication with Marlena was excellent And very quick. Book this one! Amazing stay on the mountain.

Second time staying at this condo. Easy access in winter or summer. Quick walk across street to disc golf. 5min peddle up hill or quick shuttle by vehicle to lift access mountain biking. Hot tub is great, nice view of the surrounding mtns and sunsets. No A/C but wasn't a problem for us. Cools off plenty at night.

Great Condo and Excellent Location
We had 7 adults stay here for a full week in early March 2022 and it was the first trip to Big White for most of the group (~20 years ago hardly counts). Upon arriving we were amazed how close and convenient everything was in regards to ski in/out and the Village Centre. Knowing the village is large at Big White as some properties can be a mile away, this was so nice. It had everything we needed and even covered most of the essential consumables. Marlena went over and above before and during our stay. Very responsive, friendly, and made us feel at home. We only had two minor gotcha's (not complaints) about the place. Firstly, the BBQ is on the smaller side and needs to be rolled out front. We used it once for some hot dogs. The second item would be the 4th room (guest/play room) would be more suitable for kids rather than adult(s). But these were not at all showstoppers. Overall, our group had a fantastic time and will certainly look to come back to the Big POW Chalet again!

Awesome ski vacation!
We really enjoyed our week long stay at the "Big POW Chalet". The unit was nicely furnished and the kitchen was set up well for cooking meals. The unit was clean and well maintained. Views and private hot tub are great. Also it's an end-unit and a townhouse so it was extremely quiet. The location was excellent for us, ski-in/ski-out access was quite easy and also the heated garage had space to store ski equipment. It is an uphill walk to the village though, (when the lifts aren't running) but we only did it a few times and it wasn't really a big deal. Overall we were very happy with this unit and would have booked it again were it available for this same week next year. The only thing that could have been better is that the mattress in the larger upstairs bedroom wasn't very comfortable. It worked out better for us to sleep in that room but the mattress probably was the least comfortable of all the rooms. I'd also add that Marlena was very friendly and checked-in with us multiple times. Overall a fantastic choice and we're likely to book the same unit again when we are back at Big White.

Incredible Gift!
Our stay at Marlena's condo was nothing short of amazing. We had been incredibly busy leading up to our trip. Going to Big White and staying at Marlena's was the perfect get away and super therapeutic! We arrived after dark on a Sunday evening, (your GPS may try to tell you that you have arrived but you need to go a little further around the next corner before you are really there :)). The condo was warm and inviting. Every thing was set and ready to go. The boys loved the room with the Wii and popcorn! Our daughter and other son each had their own room, as did my husband and I. We loved the gas fireplace and being in the private hot tub when it was snowing outside was fabulous. The 'ski in and ski out' experience was very convenient. You walk across the street and ski right under the lift, down to a couple lift options. My daughter had no desire to ski this trip so she stayed in the condo all day doing work on her computer and just taking it easy. It was a wonderful break for her. It was also cool to ride past the condo on the lift and wave to her as we went by. Returning to the condo when we were done was easy also. I enjoyed walking to the village and going to the Tea Bar for tea and an Acai bowl. I am not much of an adventurous skier so Serwa was the perfect green run for me. My husband and the boys preferred the cliff and other more challenging runs. Big White met all of our different ski preferences, and Marlena's condo outdid every expectation that we had for our place to stay. We drove from Washington State and needed two cars for us and all of our equipment, it worked our perfectly that we were able to park both of our cars right there. We were able to keep all of our equipment in the warmth of the garage alongside one of the cars. All of the rooms have their own temperature control. The fireplace provided great heat as well. The kitchen was beautifully supplied with all of the dishes, appliances and utensils that we needed. Bathrooms were very clean and convenient, never ran out of hot water, even when we all showered. There were plenty of towels to shower with and for after using the hot tub. There is a washer and dryer conveniently located near the kitchen. We have absolutely no complaints! Marlena was very kind in every way and she made our stay very easy. I do recommend following Marlena's advice and getting groceries before you head up the hill! This was a great experience and we will be back! Thank you Marlena!!
