Liked: Location
Cabin was nice. Bedding had not been changed from previous guests. Feminine products were found under the one bed. Dead mice outside window egress. Property was overgrown with weeds. Deck and stairs need repair before someone gets hurt. Hot tub was low on water. Driveway entrance was very steep from the road and drug our trailers while entering and exiting.

Perfect for ski trip

We had a great stay here ( 2 families). It is perfect for a ski trip. Lots of room. Comfy beds. Great kitchen and hot tub. Due to a snow storm between SD and home we got stuck in SD and they were great about letting us stay another day beyond our reservation. Very easy to communicate with. Very happy with our stay!

Needs a good cleaning

The property needs some love. It was not very clean, water seeped up through the basement flloor, crock pot was broken, hot tub has a crack in it. Overall we had a lot of fun & the house met our needs. We were disappointed with the fact that we had to clean while we were on vacation. The location was great & the kids loved the pool table & fooseball table. The open lay out was ideal for our group. clean on vacation .

Worst stay ever!

We have rented a lot of houses for vacatins, this place was the worse. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months! Relayed information to host and didn't get any response.There were towels and trash (boxer shorts) left out by the hot tub, I had to sipe the counters with Clorx wipes and you can see they are just filthy. The dish scrubber that was left-I wouldn't use. Grll was disgusting, missing grates and the chain on the light fixture looked like it hadn't been touched in years.

Great location, very clean, great communication with the host

Everything was as pictured. Great place to stay while out skiing. 2 minutes from Terry Peak. Lots of cabins in there so no privacy for hot tubing. Hot tub was very clean and well taken care of. Foosball table didn't work well. Pool table was good. Grill worked great! Very comfortable beds and couches. Highly recommend.

Great Location

Our family had a great time visiting Terry Peak. This cabin was very close to the ski area. Beds were comfortable. Linens were clean. Kitchen had all the supplies needed to cook meals. Snow was cleared off driveway and walk up to the cabin. Hot tub is older and missing the cushioned pad head rests. Cabin could use a good deep spring cleaning. At first glance it appears clean but when you look around it’s not. Lots of dust, keurig was dirty, bathroom closets and side of bathroom vanity were dusty and grimey. Also, would not recommend this cabin for families with young children because loft area does not have a railing so the stairs are open to the living room below.

Needs a good cleaning.

Property was in need a good cleaning. There was used tissues, dirty bandaid on the floor in the master and garbage left around the hot tub. Every wall was dirty and every surface was dusty. The hot tub quit working the first night and when we addressed these issues we were left with a response of the cleaner was in a hurry and not much they could do about the hot tub. Everything in the cabin from the carpet to the games in the basement were very rundown.

Hot tub is old and didn't work. We had to sweep the deck area and the top of the hot tub before using it. The deck is pretty rickety, lawn not cared for and tree down in yard, and driveway partially washed out. So, first appearance, not good. The inside of the cabin is nice and appears clean on the surface, but this is a layer of dust on the curtains and trim boards, and a bandaid laying near the bed in main flood bedroom (this was mentioned in a review 1 yr ago..same bandaid??) The beds are comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and like that there are spices there. Plenty of towels. Location is great and lots of parking room if you had a trailer with snowmobiles or ATVs. Would not recommend for anyone with kids since the stairs to the loft is wide open with no outside rail. Overall, very nice cabin but needs a deep cleaning and a new hot tub. If you want a hot tub that works I would not rent this cabin unless it lists a new hot tub.
