clean, exactly what we wanted, perfect for our entire group, even had coupons for Lewie's and we LOVE Lewie's. only issue we had was with the A/C. it was set at 79 when we got there and never came on, when we contacted them they said we had froze it up? not sure how since it wasn't working to begin with BUT the nights were cool and we were gone most of the days with our activities so it didn't affect our stay! would stay again!

Our first VRBO in the hills

Over a great location. The neighborhood is beautiful and nice and close to Terry Peak, with a short drive to town for groceries. The decor is a little outdated, but that is the only thing I have bad to say about it. Hot tub was great, and the overall set up of the cabin was great for as many people as we had staying there.

Great ski vacation

Very nice rental property within a 2 minute drive to Terry Peak. 15 minutes to Deadwood. Everything was as pictured. Kids loved the hot tub after skiing. We skied 3/18,3/19,3/20 and had some really nice fresh snow. Skid steer came by 9a to clear driveway so we could get out. Super nice guy. There is a Keurig as well as a drip coffee machine. Would stay here again. Thanks for having us.

Great cabin! Peaceful surroundings.

This cabin was just what we were looking for! The surrounding area was so calm and peaceful- we really enjoyed the quiet while sitting out on the deck. The dining area was small for all 8 of us to sit for meals but we just divided up and sat at the table and on the deck.
