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!

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!

We had a group of 7 and this beautiful property suited all of our needs. We really enjoyed the fire pit on the deck and just sitting outside enjoying nature. The drive to the property is stunning as well! Amanda was very prompt answering any questions we had. Definitely recommend this cabin!

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.

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.
