Beyond Expectations!

What an incredible property and host. This home offered all we needed and more to make up a week filled with fun and relaxation! The host communication was clear, simple, and always helpful. The attention to detail of comforts and amenities in this home was impressive as well. Last, but definitely not least is the location. The views…just wow! But also, being close to Deadwood, Mt Rushmore, Keystone…all the fun things SD offers was great. We hope to be back again! We utilized this property for a family trip with our adult children and grandchild. We’ve been lots of places around the US and they all said, this was their favorite.

Great stay

We loved this property! I spent a lot of time researching cabin to find the perfect one for us, and this was it. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and has stunning views of the black hills as it’s at the top of a hill. There are three decks, and there is ample seating on the main deck for several people to hang out. The house was very clean and the wood floors are gorgeous. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, and was well stocked with dishes and glasses which was awesome! The beds are so comfortable, the bedding was very soft, and there were plenty of towels. Each room and bathroom had hooks to hang towels and extra clothing which we found so convenient. The hot tub was great and we loved the foosball table! Having laundry available was so handy and above the dryer were lots of board games to play. The house had extra fans which I love to have for white noise. There are two other cabins near by which would make it great for large groups to stay near one another. Our group of three adults and 8 kids/teens had more than enough room to spread out and sleep comfortably. The location was very close to Terry Peak and only a few miles from Lead and Deadwood. Keystone, Rapid, and Custer State Park are about 45-60 minutes away, but we just planned our activities accordingly and it worked out great. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful view

We really enjoyed the house and was very clean. The only exception were the rafters and ceiling fans were noticeably dusty. The house was very comfortable and we had quick response to an issue with the fireplace. The handyman was friendly and easily resolved the issue. Great location, great views, and enjoyed the outdoor areas. Driveway was large enough to vehicles with 4 wheeler trailers. Would definitely come back.

Amazing get-a-way with friends

We were at Terry Peak for a wedding and the High Ridge Trail was the perfect location and setting. The beds and sheets were incredibly comfortable, the house was clean and as advertised. The property manager was quick to respond when we had questions and there were thorough instructions for check in and out. The view and setting was amazing from the decks and hot tub. It’s in a small “neighborhood” of cabins but the trees help block other properties well when you look out. None of the rooms had an attached bathroom, but there was one full bath on each floor. Equipped with the essentials for a wonderful time away with friends. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

GREAT STAY

We lost track of what day of the week it was.....that is how great our Christmas vacation here was!! It started by walking in to a beautiful home decorated for the holidays (complete with a Christmas Tree) and ended with a soak in the hot tub with arguably the best view in The Hills. Add to the fact it was spotless and fully equipped, not to mention literally a 5 min drive to Terry Peak, and you have a 5 star rental! We loved our time here.

Main floor bathroom was not wheelchair accessible

First off, the cabin was beautiful and very clean. My family and I stayed in this house over the Thanksgiving holiday 2020 because it was advertised as being wheelchair accessible. This was true only to a certain extent. The access to the property was via a wide ramp, which was accessible with a wheelchair. Once in the the home, the first floor was very nice and easy to maneuver, including the kitchen and bedrooms. The lower floor was not accessible, because of the stairs, but that was to be expected. The major issue this house had for a wheelchair bound person was that the only bathroom on the main floor was not accessible. I could not get my chair to the side of the toilet to make a transfer. We had to take a bank of drawers out of the cabinets and squeeze my electric wheelchair between shower and bathroom cabinets. After getting as close to the toilet as possible, my husband strapped a gait belt around me and pulled me out of my wheelchair and somehow got me on the toilet. Needless to say, it was a terrible and unsafe way to use the toilet. A manual wheelchair would not have worked either, as we had mine in the car and measured to see if it would fit. Since it is such a great house otherwise, and the Black Hill views were spectacular, if you are able to use a walker for a few steps, perhaps you could manage to use the toilet. Also, there was a regular bathtub, so you would have to bring a shower chair.

Girls Getaway

This was a perfect place for my group of friends to reunite and catch up. It is located toward the end of a quiet street and there was not much traffic. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need to cook with. The beds and furniture were all very comfortable. The large decks and big windows in the living room were perfect for drinking coffee and watching wildlife. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
