Our stay at the Shotgun house was wonderful. The house is very roomy for two people and is located in town, easy walk to town for stores and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook full meal. Loved that it was pet friendly, and there is a wonderful little yard. We will return.

Great stay!

The house is great and had everything we needed for a week long stay in Silverton with our pup. Great jumping off point for hiking in the area as well as enjoying the town itself. Nick was very responsive when we had questions. Would recommend!

Absolutely perfect. We stayed in this home between camping (before and after). It was wonderful. Terrific location in town. Terrific location for hiking & access to the alpine loop for off-roading. The home is clean and SO well stocked. The laundry was terrific to have. The bed, pillows and linens are all lovely. Communication with home owner was quick & easy. Check in was a breeze. We will absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Nick!!!!

Excellent host in beautiful Silverton

House was charming and a perfect size for my wife and I. It was decorated wonderfully and had history in the area which was awesome. Modern amenities with old school mountain charm. Our host was wonderful. Very gracious and accommodating. Even went out of their way to find us a crockpot. It was amazing. We came to Silverton with friends who stayed in other houses and a hotel. We came to ride UTVs in the beautiful surrounding mountain trails. We had heard of some bad vibes for being on SxSs. We experienced none of that and would rebook in this area and this specific house again in a heartbeat.
