This house was amazing. Plenty of room for the whole family.

Renting this property through Vrbo was so easy. The view was amazing off the back deck.

Perfect Get Away House for a Big Group

Such a beautiful cabin feel with so much room for everyone. LOVED having the big long table for our large group to all be able to sit around and play some games a couple of the nights! Would definitely stay here again 😊

Hi Skyler, the winter months in The Black Hills can be challenging at times, and while we try our best to have the roads maintained, 4 wheel drive is always recommended! We thank you for staying with us and keeping Cloud 9 in good shape. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again!

Perfect for multiple families

We had 3 families staying at the property. Perfect for adults and kids. Location was great, close to town but felt secluded and had amazing views. House was clean and comfortable.

We really enjoyed the hot tub and the grill and flat top were fun to cook dinner and breakfast on. Nice clean place. We’d ask another family to join us next time. :)

This was a fantastic spot for our family vacation. The house easily accommodated 9 adults and the kitchen was perfect for cooking all our meals. The only downside was that the water heater wasn’t working and would run out of hot water daily. The maintenance person was good about getting up to fix it, but it was a bit of an annoyance.

Great experience, beautiful home.

We were a large ski group (16 total). Very clean and nice home. Great floor plan; not overly large kitchen and TV room. Rec room downstairs for our teens with great sleeping spaces. Fantastic response from property management - came and lit fireplace and let us check in early due to inclement weather.

Clean, comfortable, large enough for our family of 11 and still more room.

We loved the cabin and size of the cabin. It was well stocked with towels, dishes, pots and pans, gas grill and black stone which was great- did all our cooking outdoors Not a lot of other cabins near by, so this made it more private which was great-quiet and relaxing. The only negative was there was no outside yard or play area for the grandkids. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others and would use it again. One more thing there were two cabins that had the same house number, different cabin names though, and we all pulled up to the wrong cabin initially.
