All was very good except the hot tub

This home was a perfect location for our vacation. The property was as nice as represented. The hot tub was the highlight for our grandsons. The only negative was the loft was quite warm even this time of year even with the air conditioner and ceiling fan. We would definitely stay there again!

The home was a great size for our group. We all enjoyed staying and relaxing after being out all day. It’s very close to all the places we had planned to go and we always came home to some deer out on the lawn. We also loved the trail just out front for a nice run. Thank you!

Very nice setup.... with the loft and bedrooms. Great outdoor space, firepit and hot tub. Grill did not work very well so that was disappointing. Location to Hill City was very convenient.

Absolutely loved this cabin! Super nice and clean with every thing you need for a wonderful stay in this area. Every room has its own heat and ceiling fan. Plenty of dishes for a large group. I liked that this place has everything you need but not 1000 extra things you need to remember where to put back. Nice and private even though its in a group of cabins.

A/C was misrepresented it should have stated window a/c. The queen beds were a small queen but we managed. Otherwise everything was very nice
4.7
The property location was great. Upon arrival the property was just being cleaned and ended up being rushed as the bedrooms were not vacuumed. We had some problems with cleanliness of hot tub and property hosts were responsive to our requests. The place could use better cooking pans, needs updating, and note there is only one window air conditioner (happy we had cool evenings). We did enjoy our stay.

Served the purpose. Hot tub nicer than expected. The amount of dust caked onto the bathroom vents made us question how clean the rest of the house was. Shower heads were terrible. Many light bulbs burnt out and fixtures that had dead bugs in them. Beds were very uncomfortable. Location was very nice.

This property is a gem! It’s nestled in the pines, but is less than 10 minutes from town for all the necessities anyone could need. We experienced some spring snow and the views out of the large windows with views of the pines, and a warm fireplace going was a dream! I’d definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. Property was exactly as listed. Lots of deer nearby and the jot tub was very relaxing. 20 minutes from Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. Beautiful!

We all enjoyed the stay at the comfort of the home away from home. Everything was great! Wish we could have stayed longer.
4.7
We stayed when the weather was very warm. There is an air conditioner, but too small for the area it had to cool. Furniture could use some updating - especially 2 of the couches, but the beds were comfortable and the area was very peaceful. A nice location within 2.5 miles of Hill City.

Our family really enjoyed out stay. Location was great! Thanks! The McHenry's

Spacious cabin for a group
A group of us spent a fun weekend at this cabin. There was plenty of room with 4 bedrooms, a loft with two beds, and 2 bathrooms. Beds were standard (not super comfortable) but it was a clean place surrounded by open land. BBQ and jacuzzi were perks (although check the temperature before you go in as it read 110 deg F).

Family 50th anniversary gathering
Wonderful time around the Black Hills. Many sites and many activities. Hot Springs to Deadwood. The cabin was perfect for us. Three generations, 6 adults and 4 kids ages 7-14. I loved the location in the countryside.

A very nice, clean house with plenty of room for the 6 of us. Great location made it easy to visit all the sites we wanted

The property was exactly as stated in the listing. Everything was clean and the house was well-equiped. The hot tub was a great place to relax after seeing the surrounding area.
The location was pretty ideal; close to town and a short drive to lots of destinations (Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sylvan Lake) and the Mickelson Trail was right outside our door. We would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay and accommodated our two families very well. That said, we never received any emails on how to get in to the cabin and no one ever responded to our questions through the VRBO App. We were fortunate that our neighboring cabin are part owners and gave us the code otherwise we would not have been able to get in the first night.

My family rented this house to celebrate Christmas as a family. They had decorated the house for Christmas with a tree amd stockings. This house easily accommodated four families and the layout worked perfectly.

Very good. I do however, recommend replacing the oven soon. A few burners do not work and the oven itself doesn't heat food properly.. it's giving out.
