Reviewer Comments:
A great place for all ages, the weather ended being kinda windy so we appreciated the room and many activities the house has to offer. We had aged 2 months to 86 years and it worked well for everyone. Close to the ski hill, trails and not far from Lead and Deadwood.

This house was wonderful for a large group. Tons of space for the kids, cooking, fun! We had a blast, it had everything we needed, and more!
We had people from ages 1-82 stay at the motherload and everyone enjoyed their stay. Very clean, and very comfortable for an entire extended family to stay.
The cabin was very spacious, clean and had everything you could possibly want to make for a great trip. Budi was easy to contact and was willing to help resolve any issues!
My family has booked property’s of Budi Kusser for over 8 years and this time around communication was awful. 3 beds during our stay didn’t have legs on them to prop them up correctly to lay on them. Dead flies in beds/on bedding. We were very disappointed after spending so much money on our rental.

Thanks for your feedback Arica. We're sorry to hear that you've mentioned we didn't communicate with you. Well over 10 text messages and several phone calls/emails exchange with you during your stay and after, would say otherwise. We'd also point out that from your email 2 days after your departure mentioned these exact words I'm quoting - " we look forward to booking the motherload again next year". The murphy beds don't need feet on them, but we did at them just as an added gesture to make sure there are no issues. Thanks again for staying.
The house had everything we need to injoy ourselves. The weather was not the best cloudy and over cast but there was no reason to leave games and everyone could hang out and have fun. Great place
