Matt was awesome to work with! Very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was great. The rooms were big and easily accommodated our party of five adult couples and five kids. The outdoor space was great! Used the fireplace and hot tub every night.Location is perfect for a stay in the Black Hills!
Matt came over to welcome us shortly after we got into the house. He was very gracious and gave us a lot of good information. The unit was clean and spacious, and the location was very nice for a getaway.
We truly enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and truly enjoyed the poo, hot tub and outdoor fireplace. It was convenient located close to hill city.
The property had more than enough room for our group of 8. The host was very friendly and helpful. Good location to access anything you want to see in the area.
Everything was enjoyable for our stay. We could have had more silverware, washcloth and hand towel in the kitchen. Also some beach towels for the hot tub. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer too.These are just some suggestions, overall it was a wonderful experience.
Great place!! Had everything we needed. Great location and Matt was great to work with! We had a large group of 18 people. Woke up to horses each morning. Just missing a large indoor common area for everyone but the outdoor space was great with the fire!!!!
Property was great! A lot of rooms and beds for are 8 adults and 8 kids. Hot tub and pool were a hit! Hot tub not too hot. We had a super time there and would like to rent it again sometime. Beautiful quiet area.
We stayed here with my entire family for a little hills getaway. We loved the location. Tucked away outside of hill city, in a small development. There were horses running around in the area that the kids could feed and interact with. The bike trail is right on the property also. Huge grassy yard. Hot tub was nice. Pool was also nice. The house is huge. Lots of space for everyone and plenty of sleeping space
The property was very clean. The beds are awesome. The downfall is there’s no group seating overall we had a great time. The best part with the horses that ran by every morning.
