Our stay at Wernski Lodge was absolutely perfect. Our group of nine family members chose this as our vacation home base, and it exceeded all our expectations. The lodge was beautiful, clean, conveniently located near amenities, and situated in a wonderful and safe community for morning walks. Thank you for providing such an amazing experience!

This cabin worked great for us and our family friends! The kitchen/dining was perfect for family dinners, the living room space was great for movies and games. And the hot tub was great to wind down at the end of the day. We spent most of our time trail riding, but while we were there it was perfect! 100% recommend!

Chris, thank you for staying with us at Wernski Lodge! We are so glad you had a great Rally trip and were able to enjoy the views from the cabin. Come back again soon!
This property was the perfect place to stay for our family summer vacation. Located up in the Terry's Peak ski community, we were close enough to all the locations we wanted to visit and all the excursions we had planned throughout the week. Beautiful views and a secluded feel in a small mountain side neighborhood. We had everything we needed back at the house to relax after a long day of exploring. Staff was very responsive to any inquires. I will definitely recommend this as a place to stay!

This is our second time staying at the same property. It was a perfect location, yet again. The amenities were fantastic and allowed our family to enjoy a long ski weekend together with ease. I felt like there was plenty of towels, bedding, supplies and blankets for guest use. This property is perfect for anyone wanting to spend some time in the SD mountains, with gorgeous sunrise and sunset views from either the deck, hot tube or the couch!

We loved this cabin and had a great time! Very well set up cabin with very nice decor! Plenty of space to gather!
Only challenge is the driveway for trailer parking but you are able to wiggle everything in. We had two enclosed trailers plus pickups and our side by sides.

We had an overall great experience. The property looked just like the pictures. It was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the views and the hot tub was a hit for our evening relaxation. I did text the property manager a couple of times and was responded back to in a timely manner. We would definitely stay again.

We had a great experience at the cabin. Very clean, lots of towels, and gorgeous views! The only downfall was the amount of toilet paper we were provided. Most of the rolls were half full and we needed to go to town the next morning to get more. Otherwise, this property was a perfect place to stay!

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We will make sure to get extra toilet paper put into the cabin. We hope you were able to relax and enjoy your stay. We look forward to hosting you again!
Everything was just how it was advertised. Communication with property manager was very good. I had a couple of questions that i texted to them and they replied almost immediately. Getting in the house was simple. Nothing could have been better.

Wanted a cabin with a hot tub and deck to enjoy the nights and mornings. Needed enough beds that way we didn’t have to sleep together. We went side by side riding. Not the easiest to get around with trailers but it worked out

The cabin was perfect for our family skiing vacation trip! The views off the deck and from the hot tub were beautiful and we made so many fun memories here! The big island in the kitchen made for many conversation memories at each meal as we were preparing or eating together. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us. There was plenty of space to be together or split up for your own quiet time, if you’d like. Just a 5 minute drive from the Terry Peak parking lot, if you’re going skiing. We’d definitely recommend to family and friends!

Hi Amber, thank you for staying with us at Wernski Lodge. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and made so many memories that will last a lifetime!
Beautiful decor, comfortable furniture. Loved sitting around the fire table on the deck. Enjoyed the hot tub. Cool, huge windows; however, many of the motorized blinds were not working and they were too high for us to charge them. Property manager responded immediately to fix the hot water in the lower level shower. We were never able to find the tv remotes for the loft and lower level televisions.
