Vacation was great, we really enjoyed the house and what it came with. The location was absolutely perfect and had great views.
Something for everyone, games, beautiful scenery for hiking and bird watching, close to all the activities the Black Hills has to offer. Would definitely like to go back again.
Our family had a wonderful stay here! It was perfect and met all our needs! Great location! Remote enough so we could experience the hills and close enough to town to get supplies, pizza and coffee!
Host was wonderful in answer any questions we had
Check in was easy!
Beds were comfortable- Cabin was super clean!
Highly recommend!
Was great place to relax and enjoy friendship.
They need to fix the shower head in the master bedroom but otherwise everything great.

We had a group of 5 ladies for a fund weekend in the hills. It could have fit more than double that! Deadwood was just a quick cab ride away, but we felt like we were secluded in the forest. So quiet and peaceful inside and out. Comfortable, clean, and modern design with games, cozy fireplace and kitchen. Would definitely come again!

Reviewer Comments:
It was very enjoyable. Our entire group was pleased with the house and the location. It was in a beautiful setting. We were comfortable hanging out upstairs and downstairs around the bar. We loved that we could get in our side by sides and just leave from the house and get to Lead, Deadwood and the trails. Budi was great to work with. A few weeks before our trip we had a couple more people that wanted to stay with us but the house was full. I contacted Budi and he said they could park their motorhome on the driveway. They brought a generator and everything worked great. This was a great trip and we are already talking about going back next year.

Great Property
This is a beautiful home! We really enjoyed our stay there.
Loved spending time on the patio grilling and drinking wine. Had daily visitors of deer and wild turkeys.
Close to deadwood and lead. You will travel 2 to 3 miles on gravel roads with a couple of hairpin turns. We came to the Black Hills to ride our motorcycle so We kept our trailer in deadwood so we wouldn't have to travel the gravel roads on the motorcycle, but we knew this before we came.
There were minor cleanliness issues: patio door had fingerprints, a few areas dusty, refrigerator wasn't very clean! Like I said, minor issues!
We had trouble with the Wi-Fi when we arrived.
Property manager was not helpful in resolving the issue. He responded to one question which didn't resolve the issue and didn't respond to any further messages. Finally found the house guest book that was hidden behind the TV on the mantle with the correct information. The property manager had given me the incorrect information in The check-in email.
The check-in email also included the code to get into the garage, which makes me think if they don't update the Wi-Fi information in the email that they probably don't change the code to get in the house between guests. In every other VRBO I've stayed in, the code to get in the home has been the last four digits of my cell phone number.
All in all, the home is beautiful and we would stay there again!

Is a beautiful home and everyone enjoyed our stay.Great parking as we had our SxS trailers. Got to go see all the sights and trails we wanted. Was a great trip.
Very clean, well decorated place in a quiet scenic setting. Lots of deer and turkey for viewing off the back deck. Managers were very easy to work with.
We had 8 people gathered for a college reunion. The property was awesome, and we enjoyed every part of it! We would certainly stay there again!

The facilities were exquisite.
The house is gorgeous, situated on top of a beautiful quiet mountain full if wild life. All our couples had their private spaces. Beds were comfortable. The road up is not a hard top road, motorcycles take precaution. Easliy managable for an experienced driver. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definately stay again.
We loved staying at this cabin. It was clean and had plenty of amenities for us to enjoy. We ran out of propane and the manager was quick to replace it for us! Would definitely recommend this cabin!
We had an amazing stay at this cabin. The outside space and hot tub were perfect for relaxing in the evening. The downstairs space with fridge, bar, and shuffle board was awesome and a huge hit with kids and adults! We brought side by sides to ride trails. The location of the house was perfect. Turn left and you head to Lead and Deadwood turn right and head to Spearfish. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend!!!!
