No Wi-Fi, TV. Cold hot tub. Chlorine rash/burn.There was no Wi-Fi or TV available for the duration of our stay. We were sent the Wi-Fi password tje day before we arrived. We couldn’t get it to work upon arrival, so we sent a message confirming the password. They confirmed it was accurate. Only then when we told them that it wasn’t working did they disclose it was a known resort-wide problem they were working on. Our cellular provider did not get service in this remote area.Next, when we tried to go in the hot tub the morning after arrival, it was not powered on and was 55 degrees. The host told us to give it a few hours to warm up. It was up to 98 degrees 12 hours later and still six degrees less than set point.Then, two days after being in the hot tub myself and my two daughters were all diagnosed with chlorine rash/burn. I have over 50 red spots throughout my trunk. The host assured me the chlorine levels were appropriate, but we swim on a weekly basis and have never reacted like this.

Great place!! The hot tub and firepit was a great addition. It was located at a convenient spot as well. Close to Keystone and just close enough to Rapid City. All in all it was a great unit that helped us have a great 4th of July
