We LOVED this property! It was absolutely perfect and beautiful. Plenty of space for all of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and the deck for lounging. We saw deer and turkeys every morning. The clubhouse pool was an added treat on the hot days!Thank you Jonna for an amazing stay!

Love this home. The location is great - really like the woody area but the closeness to town and amenities. The covered deck with wood burning fireplace was our favorite spot. We will look at booking this again when we are back in the Black Hills.

Very good impression of the property. It had very good curb appeal, the layout of the house was perfect for our stay. Liked the deck/fireplace sitting area the most, and the open concept of the living space.

Family holiday gathering

The property was cozy and decorated for the holidays. There was lots of space, plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Good options for kitchen tools and such. Plenty of dishes and silverware for 14 people. Amenities offered were exactly what was listed. Wonderful experience!

Lots of room for all 5 couples!

We had a wonderful friends-reunion at this spacious home. Lots of room for everyone to spread out, and the outside seating around the fireplace (we did not use the fireplace) was a great place to hang out in the late afternoon. There are other houses nearby, and during our last night a neighboring group was noisy in the early am hours (2-3am), but otherwise everyone seemed respective of their neighbors. Lots to see and do in the area!

Great property

Very clean and spacious. Great supplies on hand. Good layout for having groups on main floor (us), upstairs (older or maybe parents with younger kids), and downstairs (noisy young adults lol). Bring some firewood with you as you will love the outdoor fireplace. Cabs from cabin to downtown Deadwood ran $35 for group of 6 adults and $25 for 2 one way. Have cash for cabs. Overall great property!

Fun Holiday Stay

We stayed here with some other family members (13 of us total) for Christmas 2024 (4 nights). The house is exactly as pictured and was decorated for Christmas, so that was great! The pros: Hot tub was simple and easy to use, club house was just across the street, so it was easy for the kids to get to and enjoy all the fun stuff there. The floor plan and space in the house was adequate for our stay, not too big or small. Kitchen was well-stocked for cooking (minus a blender) - several pots and pans, cookie sheets, baking pans, etc. Includes pool towels and had enough bath towels. Great location and easy to get to, felt secluded with the woodsy and hilly scenery. Close to grocery store.Cons: Could use a nice spring cleaning. Dining chandelier had dust webs on it, couch needed a quick swiffer job underneath, etc. We did end up cleaning out the utensil drawer...way too many crumbs and dust bunnies in there to feel comfortable using the silverware and cooking utensils. Nice and clean now for the next guests :) Bring your own pillow if you are picky - these are pretty flat and lifeless. Glad we brought a few extra of our own. The lighting in here, while fitting in with the decor style, was awful for actually seeing things! Very dim and dark - made it tricky for playing games and doing puzzles, legos, etc. Bring a headlamp.Overall, a really fun stay in a great location, would stay here again!

Beautiful home that is not properly maintained

Beautiful home that is not properly maintained. At check in: we had to scoop to get to cabin door. Keyless entry did not work with code given. It was opened remotely and the same code was given, which did not work. House appeared clean, but we discovered beddings and blankets that were not clean. Kitchen small appliances didn’t work. Deck boards had holes in them. Sliding glass door didn’t lock in the basement. Gas fireplace appears to have been put out with a fire extinguisher. Very hard to figure out how it worked. Remote controls need batteries. Had to search the house for lightbulbs to replace burnt out bulbs. Appeared to have septic issues once the snow melted. Reported this to property managers. If I owned this home, I would take a good look at all of these gaps in care. Thank you!

Thank you Sandy - we appreciate your feedback. We've checked on the list of items you left us. I'm not sure what you mean with "appear to have septic issues" - everything works fine in the home and your group didn't have any issues with water or toilets during your stay? The coffee pots were both working fine for the next group that checked in and we were having a huge snow storm when you checked in so sometimes snow is just an inconvenience in our area. The sliding door in the basement locks but you have to lift up on the handle to lock it and the fireplace works off the thermostat on the wall - you can always call us if you can't operate something.
