Family Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great place for all ages, the weather ended being kinda windy so we appreciated the room and many activities the house has to offer. We had aged 2 months to 86 years and it worked well for everyone. Close to the ski hill, trails and not far from Lead and Deadwood.

It was a very nice property, but it’s apparent a cleaner doesn’t come prior to arrival because they’re were several dead bugs.

My family has booked property’s of Budi Kusser for over 8 years and this time around communication was awful. 3 beds during our stay didn’t have legs on them to prop them up correctly to lay on them. Dead flies in beds/on bedding. We were very disappointed after spending so much money on our rental.

The house had everything we need to injoy ourselves. The weather was not the best cloudy and over cast but there was no reason to leave games and everyone could hang out and have fun. Great place
