Photos don’t do this property justice. The view was amazing and the decorating, design and furnishings showed a lot of thoughtful attention to detail. It was everything we needed and more to help us relax and enjoy family time together in the Black Hills.

Great house for family gathering!

We had a small family reunion and this house was perfect. It is very well stocked and so well done. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. This is the second time staying at this home and we would definitely come back.

Great place!

It was an amazing property, although the heating/cooling we had issues with and most of the time it was about 85 degrees in the house… but overall wonderful!

Beautiful home with excellent location!

Managers of the home responded right away with the small issues we had, even on Sunday morning! Great surprise, there was a Blackstone grill that we used everyday to make breakfast for our large group. Home is amazing with lots of high end touches. En suite bathrooms a big plus with a lot of towels. Comfy beds with plenty of pillows. The view is outstanding with fabulous sunrises and lots of wildlife. We had deer and turkeys hanging around everyday! Pool table and downstairs area are great to gather and play games. Hot tub was used everyday. Location is so close to Lead and Deadwood. A must stop is Spearfish Canyon, only 20 minutes away. Front steps are a bit steep for older folks and the driveway very steep, but manageable. I can't say enough good things about this home and the management company!

Excellent property

The home is beautiful and very high end. Lots of room and having a bathroom for each bedroom is a definite plus. Two small things I would mention. There were no place to hang anything up. Lots of closets but no hangers. Bathrooms had no place to hang towels. The other item is the driveway. It is definitely NOT motorcycle friendly. It's steep and gravelly. There were spots the recent rains had washed gutters in the driveway making motorcycle use dangerous.
