Purgatory Vacation
Beautiful scenery! Close to Silverton and ski resort. House was comfortable for our family of six. Cons- horrible water pressure. If you have long or thick hair I wouldn’t wash it at the house. Dog hair on pillows in living room, under couch cushions and even in the coffee pot. It was not very clean. However, it’s a nice house !
Beautiful cabin!! Great next to resort and have free Shuttle service!
