Great condo!Amazing views of the mountains. Photos and descriptions was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again for another ski trip. Came to ski for a few days. Shuttle to purgatory is perfect. Owners were very helpful in their communication. Had just a few questions when we couldn't find something and they were quick to respond.

We have stayed here twice and will likely make this our yearly family gathering place. Beautiful, comfortable, quiet. The ease of renting skis on-site and the shuttle to the ski area are bonuses.

Overall - the stay was great! Some circumstantial things happened but were likely not in the control of our hosts. The area was hit with a big snowstorm and we had some trouble getting into the unit because we had to wait for the driveway to be plowed. Additionally, the unit was very cold when we arrived and it took quite a while to warm up. Again - circumstances that were likely out of the host’s control. Overall, our stay was great!

Wonderful condo in a great location. We would stay here again.

Our favorite part of the condo was the fireplace - made the whole place warm and cozy. The view of the moonrise and colors from the sunset were amazing - made up for the lack of snow!
