Very good

The property was nice. It was 100 degrees when we went but the cabin inside was about 115. There is no air conditioning and we had 5 fans running but it was still too hot. My food was all ruined by the refrigerator. We planned on staying 5 days. Got there on Saturday afternoon and left by Monday morning. It was miserably hot inside the cabin. My little dog was miserable too. Bring a portable air conditioner if you have small kids or dogs.

I am so sorry that the very hot temperature made for such an uncomfortable experience and that you had to cut short your vacation.
None of our 20 cabins have A/C. Even on hot days, we are thankful that the nights do cool down in the canyon. Often in the summer, the nights get down to the 40s/50s.
Though we do have some very hot spells where it does not cool down quite that low.
We were at 100% occupancy that week, and tried to offer "cooling down" ideas to our guests, by putting fruit-based popsicles in the freezer of each cabin as well as bottled water in the fridges of the cabins. Many of our guests took advantage of wading in the refreshingly cool water of Spearfish Creek which flows through our property as a way to cool down, even if at least temporarily.
However, we sensitive to the fact that the cabins were quite warm and that some folks are more heat-sensitive than others. We are very sorry that you and your little dog were miserably hot and had to leave due to the heat. We are glad that, despite the hot temperature that Mother Nature threw our way, you found the property nice.
We wish you all the best.
Very nice wooded setting away from the crowds of Lead and Deadwood. Could have used some hotter water for showers, but overall very pleased. Would definitely recommend.
