Great Ski trip with family
The was a perfect house to celebrate a milestone birthday.

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!

The home was beautiful, better than the pictures. We really enjoyed the views. Our granddaughters enjoyed the playground and access to the pool at the ski resort. We would definitely stay here again.
