Family Getaway Week

We had a group of 11, 6 adults and 5 kids and this cabin was perfect for what we needed. The kids and adults loved sitting in the hot tub and enjoyed the pool at the clubhouse. We will definitely book this cabin again the next time we are in the area.

Great mini vaca get away!

Property location was great for us. Close to Deadwood, shuttle service to and from. Close to winter sports. There’s plenty of room for 8 adults to sit at a table for a meal, or enjoy a movie in sitting area. There are plenty of things to do on site with the shared community cabin as well.
