About this property

One-of-A-Kind Tower Cabin by Terry Peak with Amazing View & 4th Floor Lookout

Welcome to your new favorite Black Hills vacation home named Jug House Lookout. This truly unique cabin offers a one-of-a-kind experience near Terry Peak. The 4th floor tower has some amazing views of the surrounding hills and valley below! The covered hot tub offers a great spot to also take in the amazing view from the cabin and local wildlife. With very easy proximity to the Terry Peak Stewart Lodge, which is just down the road, you can be skiing to your heart’s desire in no time! The Mickelson trail and many other ATV/snowmobile trails are within 10 minutes away, and some ATV trails can even be accessed right from the subdivision. Spearfish Canyon with its great fishing/waterfalls/hiking is only a short 15 minutes away. Downtown Deadwood is also just a short 15-minute drive or taxi ride full of places to gamble, great restaurants, and many festivals throughout the year! Within an hour’s drive from the cabin you can also be enjoying Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Keystone, Sylvan Lake or other central Black Hills attractions. Whether you've come to visit to enjoy an adventure filled getaway, a sight-seeing tour of the area, or a relaxing weekend enjoying the view from the tower, Jug House Lookout is surely going to make for a memory filled home-away-from-home.

Outside of the cabin you'll find a parking area for your vehicles/trailers, a single car garage, and 3 levels of patio/deck space great for taking in the view! The patio level has an 8-person hot tub, the second level deck has a gas grill, and the upper level tower deck includes a 360 degree walk around lookout and one of the best views of the area! The dark wood accented floors/ceilings make for an amazingly warm and comforting feeling as you kick your feet up by the gas fireplace or enjoy your company around the kitchen island. The open concept is great for entertaining as well. The lower level has another living area with sectional, TV and bedrooms. As you head upstairs towards the 4th level bedroom/tower, you reach the game room on the 3rd level that includes a DVD player with movies, boardgames, whiskey barrel game council with 49 games, and shuffleboard! The highest level and top of the tower, is the master bedroom with bathroom. The covered wrap-around deck goes all the way around the tower so you get a full 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape. There's also internet at the cabin using a Verizon hotspot and Dish satellite.

Make your next Black Hills vacation your most memorable one here at Jug House Lookout. We welcome you on your next memory-filled vacation.

Cold outside, warm inside

We stayed during one of the coldest winter storms on record. However, it was beautiful and warm inside with plenty of activities to do inside for the kids since skiing in -60 degree wind chills was no longer in the cards.

The cabin is just as it looks in pictures. The location is off the beaten trail, well up a mountain outside of Lead with spectacular views. Sadly we were only able to use the lower half of the property as the upper lookout bedroom and 2nd floor recreation room were infested with hundreds of cluster flies. We reached out to the property manager after check in and were met with a tepid response email noting they were aware of the flies and having the same issue at other properties. Ultimately we were told there was nothing they could do to mitigate the fly issue. I suspect this property is 5-stars at other times of the year, but our early-mid October stay was supremely disappointing and there was no remedy offered by our host. I would not recommend this property to guests looking for a fall retreat given the risk of seasonal bug infestation.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The morning after our arrival I emailed Budi stating that I was disappointed in the state of the home. The main floor tub wasn't draining, main floor bedroom bedding had multiple spots with "human stains", coffee pot still had old coffee in it and was dirty, two rugs on the main floor are trip hazards because the corners are curling up and the hot tub was not functioning and had pine needles floating in it. It really put a damper on our trip, we didn't even stay the third night.

Business Group Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: Due to work demands our company has stayed in various rentals in the area over the past two years. In comparison to what we have experienced at other rentals we would not stay here again. For our business needs, the biggest drawbacks for us were a broken coffee maker and the WIFI or lack thereof. It never connected so we ended up hot spotting the entire time. Because we are generally working we tend to eat in quite a bit and amenities such as cooking accessories were lacking. Lastly, the general cleanliness of the place was not what we had come to expect. While not terrible, attention to details were missing, shower drains were backing up and it was sub-par to others we had stayed previously. Flies were a big issue. Overall, the house is interesting and easily accessible which was a plus.

40th birthday celebration

We very much enjoyed the decks and view. Our timing was excellent to catch the fall colors. We appreciated the long and tall kitchen table to play games on. The property manager was great about communicating with us. The location was great although be aware taxi rides are pricey at least for our group of 6. We paid $60 one way although the taxi service was awesome about picking us up. The hot tub was not working when we initially arrived and unfortunately was not fixed until the afternoon after we got there. I appreciated the property manager responded promptly about this issue when I inquired. And when the gentleman arrived he helped us find a taxi service that was less expensive. More information on rides in visible places would be good. Thank you for a very memorable, comfortable weekend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this house very much. We had a couple issues but contacted the management team and they were very helpful and very quick to respond. We had 4 families and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids enjoyed the game room, actually even the adults did as well. I would advise that if you are looking for a secluded area, this is not it. This is a very developed area. The houses are a little too close on all 4 sides. Lots of partying at too close of neighbors. Overall, it was great place for us and we would rent again.

The view from the tower is beautiful

The people for booking were very nice to deal with. The view is beautiful from the tower, however there is alot of new construction going up around the house. One thing I would suggest to the owners would be blinds in the big windows....they face the road and other house so at dark people can see in very easily. Overall, it was very nice and we enjoyed our stay!
