Cabin worked well for us!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a family ski trip. The house was clean and good location from the ski lifts. We used the Pit Boss one day, it worked well, the next day, it smoked alot and would not get hot. We believe it was plugged with wet pellets but not for sure. But it does need to be looked at before someone else tries to use it. Everything else about the cabin was great!

We came up for a ski vacation but Terry Peak postponed the opening- no snow. Glad to have such lovely accommodations since we were home much of the time.

Great Stay near the Black Hills

The Bucket List Retreat exceeded our expectations. The view off the back porch has to be one of the best in the area! We had never been to this part of the country and heading back to this gorgeous home late every afternoon after some long drives made it even more worthwhile. We definitely reccomend to anyone heading to Deadwood or the Black hills to give this place a try!

Lives Up To It’s Name

This property is the type of place that when you walk into it, everyone gets giddy. The house is decorated beautifully, the view is fantastic, and the massive windows pull the Black Hills inside. We look forward to staying here again.

Incredible views of the black hills! The property was clean and easy to access. Perfect size for 4 adults snd 3 kids. Improvements could be the addition of ceiling fans in the rooms. Otherwise was a great weekend!

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at this rental. We know it was on Terry's Peak- but didn't realize the climb up and the hills we'd need to drive daily. The rental is in a new development and you definitely would need 4-wheel drive in the winter. Views were beautiful. Neighboring rentals were all respectful and it was not noisy. Fit all 10 of us (2 adults, 8 kids).

Excellent Property and Location!

Budi was an excellent host! Very quick at responding to any and all questions and attentive to our needs before and during our stay. The property is well laid out and has everything you need for a big gathering especially while celebrating Christmas with a large group. It was sparkling clean! It is literally right by the Terry Peak entrance and a very short drive to Lead and Deadwood. We also made our way to Spearfish Canyon to a beautiful winter drive. We highly recommend this property and working with Budi. We will be selecting this property if we are back in the area!

Cabin was named bucket list for a reason.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Plenty of room for three families. Entry/mud room was great for the winter. Pellet grill was nicer than any other rental. Only wished we would have brought our own firewood so we did not have to buy any. Didn't notice is was a wood burner.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I believe we were the first guests to ever stay in this house. We were actually a little nervous since there were no reviews online when we booked it. The house was beautiful. The owner seemed like a nice reasonable person. The view was beautiful. Everything in the house worked perfectly. Very tastefully decorated. Just a great overall experience. Highly recommended.

Family Trip With Older Siblings (21-50ages)

The place was beautiful and the location was perfect! It was a very short drive to Lead and Deadwood which was perfect because that’s where we were the majority of the time. We had and issue upon our arrival of the house not being as clean as we would have expected for what we paid. There was left over food crumbs on the counter top and two of the beds were dirty and unwashed as well as a dirty bandaid on the couch. That was just a few of the things we notice. We were able to live with it but definitely expect better next time! Everything else was great! The hot tub and view was 10/10!

UTV & Gambling Trip

Overall the house was nice. Unfortunately when people rent a house they don’t treat it as their own so there are some small things like bathroom fixtures that are loose, hot tub cover dented, carpeting that needs to be tightened, the gas stove seems to need some repair to the igniter, but all in all a beautiful house. The location is great. Close enough for all the activities we wanted to do. There were only four of us that stayed in the house and we could comfortably fit 8 more but it was nice to have the space. It would be great if there were ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms as it got warm up there. It could use a deep clean of things that there isn’t time to clean between stays such as the light fixtures or the jets in the upstairs bathroom. We did have a couple questions we needed to reach out to Budi and did get them answered but had to reach out multiple times about the fireplace as there are no instructions on use so we were only to have one fire because of that but I would definitely stay there again.

Awesome place near all of the attractions

My wife and I, along with 1 other couple, stayed her for 6 days to ride motorcycles to all of South Dakota's Landmarks. We loved the cabin. There are many more other cabins near-by than what it looks in the pictures in the listing (more of a neighborhood type feel), but none of them obscured the awesome view. The drive up to the cabin is scenic itself (great views of the nearby ski resort across a valley). For other motorcyclists, the road is gravel once you get into the neighborhood, but it is hardpacked and well maintained. We had no troubles riding in and out from the cabin. Most of the landmarks are within an hour's drive and a couple are only 2 hours away. Historic Deadwood is only about a 20-minute drive. There is a grocery store within about 15-minutes from the cabin to pick up any food and supplies. Although there was some wood left for the fireplace when we arrived, if you have many fires, you will need to get some more. There were also only 4 chairs for sitting outside on the 2 decks, so if there are more of you, you will have to make do. House check out rules are fair and reasonable. Overall, we loved the place, and we are already trying to figure out when we could go back!

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Few things were disappointing:1. The place was awfully dusty and lots of cobwebs. It felt (smelled) like we were the guest ones to stay there in quite awhile. Might want to check in with whoever you are paying to clean the rental.2. Nearly every pot and pan were disgusting. Like food dried on and they were not clean when they were put away. We had to wash everything before we used it and a few of the pans could not be cleaned they were really gross.3. The gas stove was not functioning properly. Some burners would not turn on and some would continuously click (like they were trying to start) even when other burners were turned on and that one was not.4. The plug for the upstairs bathtub drain does not work. We could not use it to give our 1yr old a bath.5. The fireplace was really drafty. We did start it to help with that but it got pretty smokey inside so we stopped using it and put blankets in front of it to stop the cold air from coming in.Overall, the stay was disappointing and we definitely left the place in better condition than we found it. To end on a positive, the view.... So good!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay, always have a great time in Lead/Deadwood. Only complaints we had about the rental is the grill did not work & the air did not keep up well so it was rather hot inside, especially when it was 105* outside. All in all, it was a good stay! Thank you!
