Girl’s weekend for long distance friends

We drove from Oakes, ND and Steamboat, CO and met in Lead, SD and stayed at the Cougar Cabin. We were very impressed from the minute we drove up! Beautiful property and such a serene setting. The cabin was beautiful and very clean! Rooms were great as was the rest of the cabin! Loved hot tubbing in the morning while the sun rose.Thanks for helping us make some amazing memories!!

Cougar Cabin

Would've been nice to know the cabin was a 1/4 mile down a dirt and gravel road because we rode motorcycles. There was no AC in the cabin but there were numerois fans. Lastly, the master bedroom tub looked like it needed cleaned. Temperatures luckily dropped and the heat worked well. Everything else was great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed a the cabin for a week. The cabin was nice and location was great. The cabin was supplied with everything you need but I would recommend suppling additional wash clothes. There was only a couple wash clothes. The shower upstairs and the jets in the bath tub downstairs did not appear to be the cleanest so we cleaned them before we used them. There was dust bunnies in the corner on the floor in the upstairs bedroom but overall a great place.
