It was a short visit on the bob cat ride but Steve made every moment delightful with his hospitality, stories, fun facts and history. It is beautiful and so warm, maybe we can rent it out one day with other friends.

We had a small (30-person) summer wedding at Silcox Hut, and it truly exceeded every single one of our expectations. The people (Leandra, Phil, Kara, Cameron, and everyone else at Silcox Hut/Timberline) are extremely friendly, helpful, and truly want you to have the best time. They went above and beyond in every way. The food was incredible, the drinks were delicious, the hut itself was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and the sleepover was so comfortable. I cannot recommend this venue enough - photos do not even begin to do it justice. I want to re-live the day over and over again, and we're already planning our 10-year anniversary right back at Silcox Hut. THANK YOU!!!!

The only thing that would have made it any better would have been more snow. It was an outstanding venue for our families to celebrate our kids marriage. Outstanding service and epic views.

Went for a wedding on the 14th of May, 2022 and it was a fantastic experience. Leandra and her crew did a wonderful job of making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Beautiful venue with a feel of being away from the whole world. Would 100% recommend this venue for any gathering.

Breathtaking location. Staff was outstanding. Very professional when it came to arranging our stay. On-site host was fantastic, driving the snow cat, preparing our meals, sharing stories and history.
