Perfect Fall Getaway!
The cabin was just as pictured online. The outdoor area with gas fireplace and hot tub were the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and unwind after a day of exploring the Black Hills. The town of Lead is 5 miles away and has everything you need to complete your stay.The cabin was clean and has all the amenities that you need. Definitely check this cabin out if you are looking for an enjoyable getaway.

Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for your awesome review! I love the deck area and the hot tub and the Spruce and Aspen trees. Fire pit does make it extra cozy.
I agree with you that the gray bedroom has a firm mattress, but the white bedroom has a softer mattress so I guess I feel like there’s a choice. I’ve actually never had anyone mention it in the past, but thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Loved, loved, loved this amazing little cabin. It was the perfect place for a girl's getaway weekend! We will for sure be staying here again!! Thank you for the perfect weekend!
Had a great trip here with my wife. We stayed when it was not busy and had good privacy inside and outside by the hot tub. Was really close to Lead, nice for getting groceries. We would love to come back some time!
We loved everything about this place!! Great place to stay. The host was very helpful! We had everything we could have possibly needed. We will stay again! Thank you!!
Our family of four had a wonderful time at this property. Very thoughtful touches and great check-in and check-out experiences. Took some great walks around the neighborhood, enjoyed the patio, fire pit, and hot tub. Even saw some wildlife while eating dinner on the porch.
We absolutely loved our stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was exactly what we’re hoping it would be!

Peaceful and Relaxing
The cabin was perfect for a weekend girls trip. The cabin was clean and very welcoming. The hot tub was amazing after a day of hiking. The hosts were easy to reach and very helpful with recommendations for local places to eat/shop as well as what trails to do. We will definitely come back.
Very nice, cozy, and peaceful place to stay in. All of our needs where covered by our gracious host. She went to great lengths to make our time there as pleasant as she could, and we appreciated it
We loved our stay here. It was very comfy and cozy. It had everything we needed. The hot tub was great to soak in on chilly mornings. Our host was great with communication. She even mailed us something that we had forgotten at the cabin after we left. Would definitely stay here again.
As you pull up to the back side of the cabin, you may think you have the wrong place. But after to walk around to the entry, you realize how awesome this place can be. Cozy setting, stocked with everything thing you could need, peaceful, and relaxing after our days of driving and hiking. Highly recommend!

Charming and Private Stay—Nearly Perfect, Except for Internet Issue
I had a wonderful stay at this property! The place was clean, private, and absolutely adorable—just as described. I truly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and peaceful setting.The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the internet was not working during my visit. Otherwise, everything else was perfect. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a comfortable and charming getaway!

From the owner: "Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m glad you found the cabin clean, private, and cozy, though I’m sorry for the trouble with the WiFi during your stay. AT&T was doing a complete update on their tower at Terry Peak that week, and service was down for everyone in the area. It was beyond my control and came as a surprise, but as soon as I heard from you, I followed up with them to learn the reason. The good news is that the Internet is now back on and faster than before, so future guests can stay connected while enjoying the cabin experience. Thanks for your helpful feedback. We’re always working to make each stay better than the last!"
