Unit was very clean, relatively new, shuttle service across the street to Purgatory was effortless and quick. Exceedingly better in every way to anything in Cascade Village at any price. My family of 4 was highly satisfied.

Perfect stay
This condo was perfect for our last minute Christmas getaway! To our surprise, we found this home in Blackbear available during Christmas ski vacation. located directly across from Purgatory resort, it was an easy walk across the street to the resort. The unit was fully stocked with all the comforts of home. It's a beautifully decorated unit with nicely appointed furniture. To my surprise, the garage was huge, allowing us to park our 1/2 ton pickup inside. The condo itself has plenty of space for a large family. We would defiantly stay here again but would recommend bringing humidifiers for those coming from a humid region of the country.
