Great Family Vacation

We loved having a quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to return to at the end of a busy day. Very clean and really well stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, games, etc. The whole family loved sitting on the deck in the morning and the end of the day.

Mountain top cabin

This place is perfect if you are looking to get away from the city life. Beautiful scenery and I spent mornings sitting on the patio watching the sunrise. The cabin was fully stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The owners answered all emails promptly and provided you with lots of site seeing options . I would highly recommend staying here.

Hilltop pine hideaway

Unique hilltop destination tucked up in the pine trees. Description was very accurate, the location was perfect for the sightseeing we wished to see; pretty centrally located. If you don’t want a location out in the middle of nowhere this may not be the site for you. Gravel road with hairpin turns to access it.. We loved it!

So peaceful

The house was wonderful. My 9 and 12 year olds were a little afraid to stay in the bottom floor with the pull out couch since it connected to the house via the deck. I would say this house was perfect for the 4 of us. It had no WiFi which was exactly what we needed for the kids to disconnect and be present. The games were really fun, too!

Peaceful retreat with gorgeous morning views

Unique cabin in the woods. Hairpin curves and steep roads were a challenge to get there with a large pickup and trailer, good thing my husband is a trucker. We anticipated a few, but there were several. Bathrooms are small and got a little stuffy but loved the white fluffy towels! Bottom level was a little musty smelling.

Great, Secluded Cabin

Cabin was a nice place to stay, a bit secluded but worked fine for our family of 3. We didn't realize from the directions that it was so far up the mountain so we did spend a fair amount of time in the car during our stay to travel to our other activities. It didn't hamper our vacation, we just had to plan out a little more drive time. Daughter loved the spiral staircase and all the games. We had to do a game night just for her. We never used the bottom floor.

Nice unit. If you do have issues with stairs, this is not the unit for you. Location. Very remote. Quiet. Private. Well stocked with supplies. I brought items I did not need. I would stay in this unit again if i was not going to be 60 next year.

Mountain top - central location

This house is very well stocked and the beds are comfortable. We appreciate all the extra touches the owner added to make it fell homey. The decks are lovely and we spent a lot of time outside eating and enjoying the view. Our family of six fit with some adjusting. The spiral staircase was tricky for my 75 year old mom. The basement, as noted in the description, is fully separate so it worked for teenagers but the sofa bed was not great for two full grown teenagers. They did like the gaming system there a lot. Overall, the location is central (takes about 10-15 minutes to get down the mountain to a main road) and we enjoyed The Black Hills immensely.

Up in the pines

We had a great stay atop Eidelweiss Mountain. This is probably the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at! Immaculate. Brenda is responsive without being intrusive. This place is set up like a home, very cozy, with everything you need. The kitchen was really well equipped, with high end coffee maker and calphalon pans. Sometimes you stay at a VRBO and they don’t have a cutting board or the right knife - this kitchen has it all. The outdoor gas Weber grill is also wonderful. On the top deck you’re eye level with the tops of the pine trees, which is what drew me to the property. The layout of the house with the spiral staircase, and having to go outside to get to the bottom level, is a little awkward but manageable for able bodied people. I did wish I had an intercom so I could call people up for dinner. LOL. My kids loved all the games available, and this led to some family interaction after dinner in the evenings. We all appreciated the space to spread out after a long day of sightseeing - me in the kitchen, tween girl on the phone in the bedroom, teenage boy and his father watching football and playing video games in the basement. It’s a bit of a drive from any direction. Even once you turn off the main road you have another 10 minutes twisting and turning on mostly gravel. We always rent places away from the fray, so this is fine for us, and especially typical in the beautiful black hills. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

We just left and already we want to come back!! The location is so secluded and peaceful! It was perfect for our family of four, which included 2 teen boys! They loved the privacy of the lower level. The spiral staircase was maybe my favorite part…so unique! Was it a tight fit going up and down…yes! But the owners give a very detailed description of the layout of the cabin…so please ensure you do your homework before booking as it may not be for everyone, but we loved it!!Sitting on the deck each morning with my coffee was so peaceful and relaxing! We grilled bison burgers two evenings, having the grill was a nice bonus!!! The cabin amenities were off the charts! The owners have thought of every detail!! For example, I was so bummed when I realized we forgot our binoculars, they had some in the cabin, yay!! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the things…spices, baking ingredients, coffee (this was a huge bonus for me), ziplock bags, etc.!When we realized that we were out of toilet paper, I reached out to the owners and immediately got a response to assist us, great communication! Our family has stayed in many VRBOs over the years and this one ranks up there as one of the best!!! Book it, you will not be disappointed!!!
