Edgewater Lodge - Whistler British Columbia Hotel Accommodation

Whistler Valley holds a secret most visitors never glimpse: It is magical and magnetic not because of anything manmade, but because of the sheer enormity and beauty of the basin's natural mountain landscape. At the uncomplicated Edgewater Lodge, two miles from the congested bustle of Whistler Village, this is a secret impossible to overlook. The 12-room inn and restaurant perch on a serenely quiet, 45-acre peninsula of land that extends into glacial-fed Green Lake. "The view is like the horn of plenty," .......The single-story, prow-shaped, shorefront lodge opened for business in March 1995. The rooms (either a single room or a bedroom with den and deck) are comfortable but basic—until you climb into bed. From there, every guest can see the long alpenglow on Whistler and Blackcomb, the lights of snowcats tracing the runs at night, moonlight on the water and an occasional train passing on the far shore.

The centerpiece of the hotel is its lakeside dining room, with high vaulted ceilings, walls of glass and a dazzling menu. Chef Thomas Piekarski brings his German background and Swiss training to a menu he calls "West Coast continental." Translation: fresh B.C. salmon and organic, farm-raised venison (the specialty of the house). On snowy nights, diners fill the candlelit room, marvelling at the setting and melting into Piekarski's subtle flavors while snow falls softly on the lake.
