Best Family Gathering Spot

The owner was like family by the time we finished our stay. She kept in contact with us until we checked in and immediately thanked us for staying. This was the best place we have taken family. So clean,organized, and well stocked with utensils. If you love family game time I believe every game invented must be in the house. We will be booking here again as our grandkids did not want to leave.

Ski

Clean and useful. Spiral staircase is a cool feature, but not kid friendly. Not a negative; just fyi for those with little kids. Tricky stairs to navigate for little ones. Driveway is very steep, so be advised that 4WD may be needed. Great little place, close to slopes.

Very enjoyable vacation!

Unit was clean and cozy. Communication with the owner was excellent. They even came to remove snow from around the cabin after we had 10" of snow. Location was a short walk to Terry Peak, only about 0.2 miles. Would love to come back!

Family Reunion

Gold Claim Lodge served as our "home away from home" for a family get-together. The cabin was exceptionally clean and was perfect for our time together. We appreciated the incredibly well-stocked kitchen as we cooked most meals together during our stay. Our grandchildren also appreciated the many games available, as well as the play area in the loft. Comfortable, cozy and perfect for our family. The cabin is also pet-friendly which was important for us. Amanda showed incredible compassion and contacted us regarding an electrical outage during a storm. We would highly recommend Gold Claim as the place to be when visiting the Beautiful Black Hills, and we would book again!

Great Stay!

This cabin was a wonderful place to stay. Amanda was AMAZING in helping us whenever we had questions. The views outside of the cabin was spectacular! We saw a lot of wildlife right off of the deck. The cabin was very clean & our teenage son sure enjoyed the game room downstairs.

Christmas Get Away

The cabin was everything we had hoped for. It was conveniently close to Terry Peak, yet we felt secluded and like we were in the forest. It was so clean, and perfectly matched the online description. Amanda was amazingly flexible with us as we encountered some winter weather. The kids are already begging me to book it again. We skied all day and then hit the town at night for a different dinner destination every night. We knocked off the mountain early on Friday and made the drive to Mount Rushmore and we were all happy we decided to do that. We fell in love with the area and can't wait to come back.

Cabin in the woods

The check in process was quick and easy. Cabin was spacious and clean. The driveway was on an incline but fit two vehicles. We Saw wildlife daily. We enjoyed the cooler weather and sat out on the deck and used the fire pit. Kitchen was small (or we had to many cooks in the kitchen!) but well appointed. House rules were easy. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend .

Fabulous!

A great place to stay! We had a wonderful time. The cabin is beautiful and equipped with everything you need while away. The location is quiet and secluded yet close enough to all of the hot spots for entertainment. Amanda is easy to get a hold of if you need her and the gift basket was a special touch. We hope to stay again soon, thanks again!
