Beautiful home, wonderful stay!

This home was perfect for our stay in the Black Hills. We saw wild turkeys every day, had a beautiful view and the home had everything we needed and more to make our stay great. The kids loved the hot tub and pool table. We explored all over the Hills and the home was the perfect place to retire to each evening.

Stunning views and quiet location. Lighting could be improved especially in master bedroom and basement family room. Ice maker broken. Too dark to find at night when we arrived. Would have appreciated a light left on.

Thank you for staying. Sorry I did not know the ice maker was not working but I do now. Thank you Sorry I also should have turned lights on I just never know when guests are arriving. I will also let the homeowner know about the lighting. I guess nobody has ever mentioned it before. Thank you!
