Everything was clean and well stocked for vacation travels! Had plenty of towels, dishes and blankets for everyone. Wifi was spotty, but we were so remote on the mountain, it's to be expected. The hot tub has an amazing view of mountains, stars, and way distant city! We even saw Rapid City's firework show from the distance over 4th of July!

We had a great time! The road to the place is a dirt road with some switchbacks, and a steep driveway getting to the house. I’m glad it didn’t rain, all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive is a must. The place was very nice, clean, we went into the hot tub every night, and had a fire one of the nights. I would recommend this place!
