Whistler may be known for its winter sports, but summer brings a whole new side to this mountain town—and there’s no better home base than Lake Placid Lodge in Creekside. Located just 10 minutes south of Whistler Village, this laid-back neighbourhood offers mountain charm, lakeside living, and all the perks of an alpine resort without the crowds.
With its unbeatable mix of modern comfort, summer-ready amenities, and prime location, Lake Placid Lodge has earned a loyal following as one of Whistler’s best summer accommodations.
Beat the Heat
Whistler’s summer heat waves can sneak up on you, especially if you’re not staying somewhere with the right amenities. That’s where Lake Placid Lodge shines. Select suites now include newly added air conditioning units to the living room—offering a cooler and more comfortable retreat after a day of hiking, biking, or soaking up the sun by the lake. Whether you’re working remotely or vacationing with the family, being able to cool down in the evenings makes all the difference.
And when you’re ready to spend time outside again, the lodge’s outdoor pool and hot tub are ready and waiting. It’s the perfect setup for a lazy afternoon swim or a relaxing soak under the stars. In the evening, head to the shared courtyard, where a shared gas BBQ and cozy seating areas invite you to gather with friends, grill dinner, and unwind as the sun sets behind the mountains.
Steps from Lakes, Trails, Ice Cream, and More
Lake Placid Lodge is right across the street from the Creekside Gondola (for hiking or scenic sightseeing) and just minutes away from Alpha Lake and Nita Lake—perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or a morning stroll. Grab a coffee from Rockit Coffee Co. or a freezie from Creekside Market after your walk along the Valley Trail. Creekside Market is a great place to stock up for a family BBQ. This local favourite grocery store offers with fresh produce, deli items, and everything you need just a short walk away.
Go Car-Free with Ease
Don’t want to deal with traffic or parking? You don’t have to! Creekside is well connected by the local bus system (free on weekends in the summer), and most essentials are within walking distance. You can truly unplug and enjoy your surroundings without the stress of driving.
Affordable, Family-Friendly, and Quietly Stylish
Whiski Jack Resorts’ Lake Placid Lodge is perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers looking for a more peaceful alternative to the bustling main village. The spacious suites include full kitchens, cozy furnishings, and some even feature mountain-view balconies.
If your idea of the perfect summer getaway includes lake access, mountain views, poolside lounging, and fresh air mornings without the tourist crowds, Lake Placid Lodge in Whistler Creekside checks every box.
