SD Softball Tourney

We had such a fabulous stay at the cabin! The house was well stocked, kitchen well equipped and the beds quite comfy! It was so nice to stay in a vacation home with king beds and large bunks! It was spacious and bright. We had no issues finding the home thanks to the additional directions supplied by Jonna! Absolutely would stay again and highly recommend this home and location to anyone looking for a great vacation!

Ski trip at Terry Peak

We have not stayed in this location before but were pleasantly surprised with the convenience of getting to it and proximity to Terry Peak. It was spacious and comfortable with very nice furnishings. The kids got a kick out of the large elk head mounted to the wall and loved the hot tub. It was a perfect place for our mid-winter get away trip. Thank you!

Great place to stay for us! We had six adults. Excellent location/neighborhood. Deadwood Connections staff were great! Quick response time and very informative! Only negative was some dishes had been put away dirty. I'm assuming from previous renters since it is requested to clean all dishes and put them away. Black Hills water is hard, so the faucets and sinks get stained. It gives them a dirty presence. However, the cabinet fronts in the kitchen and bathrooms could use a good cleaning.The beds and pillows were comfortable and clean.

Great Cozy Cabin!

Great cabin nestled in the Blackhills Deadwood area. Beautiful setting with lots of pines and birch trees. Plenty of space for our group of 5 adults + 2 teens. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs (none on main level - keep in mind for elderly guests). Maintaining temps was a little difficult on the upper and lower bedroom levels. Very close to clubhouse that had a pool table, steam sauna, 2 hot-tubs and year-round heated outdoor pool. Only used hot tub at the house 1x. Went 1st week in April and still a ton of snow. Fully stocked kitchen and cozy living room (main level) and family room (lower level) w/ sectional for watching movies. Enough seating for 8 people to dine inside comfortably. Beds were comfortable. Gorgeous woodwork and hammered floors. Nicely decorated with 'cabin' decor if you don't mind taxidermy animals. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.
