This was the perfect place to stay with a large family... plenty of space for everyone, games kept the kids (young and old) entertained.

Deer Haven was a great place for us to stay (4 Adults). Great location for riding our side by sides, close to Lead and Deadwood. The house has everything we needed to complete our stay. We would return to stay here!

Marlene, thank you for staying with us at Deer Haven Lodge! We are so glad you and your family has a great stay. We hope you had fun side by side riding through The Black Hills. We look forward to hosting you again!
The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed & more. We loved the hot tub, ping pong table, air hockey & foosball table. It would’ve been nice to have AC at the cabin but we opened up the windows at night to help cool it off.

A little more off the beaten path than I expected, but it was a great place, especially for the price. I never saw mention that there was no A/C in the listing, but we didn't really need it at night

Joshua, thank you for staying with us at Deer Haven Lodge! We hope you were able to relax at your home away from home and enjoyed your trip to The Black Hills. We look forward to hosting you again!
Great place with plenty to do! Only dissapointment was the nice view off the back porch had nowhere to sit. The property was provided with cheap plastic chairs that were all broken.

This was a great spot for our 2 family vacation with 8 people. Kids loved air hockey/ping pong/foosball. Adults enjoyed the great open kitchen, living space, hot tub. Clean and well equipped as advertised. Simple directions from manager made the property very easy to access. Great stay!

Beautiful property!
We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the cabin very much. There is a walk down to the cabin on several stairs which was difficult for my older parents but the walk was shoveled when we arrived. Just something to keep in mind if you have people with mobility issues. Thanks so much for sharing your home we loved it!

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed the cabin and your stay in the Black Hills. Come visit us again!
The cabin is beautiful, as is the area! We did have a young baby with us and he is at the crawling stage. He did find several things on the carpet in the basement that hadn’t been vacuumed up from previous renters. The shower liner in the upstairs bathroom also had some mold, so maybe a more thorough cleaning between renters would be a good idea.
But, overall a great property and we would return!

Small bedrooms, but beautiful home, loved living room kitchen area. Air hockey was dated, didn’t work well. Foseball table, one guy was broke.
Garage can blow over several times.

Jean, thank you for staying with us at Deer Haven Lodge! We are glad you loved the living room and kitchen of the home. We will have the air hockey machine looked at. We look forward to hosting you again.
Went to deadwood with a group of guys on a boys trip! The cabin is perfect for just that with loads of places to sleep and a great hot tub! The only few things I would have liked is AC, WiFi, and a bit of a yard space. Overall those were the least of my concern as we had a great time!

Hi Sam, thank you for staying with us at Deer Haven. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we will look into getting those things.
Our family had a great time staying at this property. The kids loved the air hockey table and there were many games of Ping-Pong and Monopoly played. The hot tub was great also!
We rented for a four night stay to spend some quality family time together. So much to do and nice to come back to a comfortable cabin to relax. Very clean and felt right at home.
Our stay at this cabin was great! Location was what we expected, being a bit of a drive to the stuff we planned on doing. Sleeping arrangements worked out nice with the layout. Lots of games and things to do at the cabin. We were very worried about no air conditioning but the breeze and fans were sufficient in 80 degree weather. The dryer is not the best which would be our only complaint and it’s minimal. Cleanliness was a huge factor for us and it was very clean!! We would highly recommend!
Spent 3 nights here for a friends bachelor party. It was a great getaway and place to stay. It had plenty of areas for everyone to sleep and worked perfect for what we needed it for. Excellent location being only a 15 minute drive from Deadwood. Only downfall would of been able to use Lyft instead of the local taxi, but not enough of a reason to not ever stay there again. I would recommend this cabin to anyone.
Beautiful home and property. Very comfortable furnishings and we loved the open design. The chilly start of fall was perfect for enjoying a fire and also sipping wine in the hot tub. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend and would definitely rent this property again.
