Everything worked well and our host answered any questions we had! She was very accommodating with a late check out and an early check in.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear everything worked well and that communication was helpful. It was our pleasure to accommodate your early check-in and late check-out when possible. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Nice place to stay! Furniture is wore out so not very comfortable but the space was nice. The parking for trailers is definitely not ideal but doable. Overall a good place to stay

Travis, thank you for staying with us at Whiskey Barrel Cabin! We are so glad you had a great stay and were able to enjoy your home. Thank you for being great guest, we look forward to hosting you again!
This location is perfect for us. We had quite a few generations staying in this one location. Some spent the majority of time in Deadwood; others went to Mt. Rushmore and Keystone. The cabin did have a fire pit and hot tub (we didn't use it) for those who just wanted to chill.

Heather, thank you for staying with us at Whiskey Barrel Cabin! We hope you were able to relax at your home away from home and enjoyed your trip to The Black Hills. We look forward to hosting you again!
House is well kept and clean, plenty of cookware, Evan a crock pot. Very pleased. Nice gas grill, great hot tub! Be prepared to put it in 4x4 to get up the driveway.

HI Dallas, thank you for staying with us at Whiskey Barrel Cabin. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
The location was easy to find and we enjoyed the stay. Would have been helpful to know the driveway is steep and lose gravel at the end of it. Not easy to get a trailer into if hauling a bike or side-by-side to ride in the hills.

Hi Lynn, thank you for staying with us at Whiskey Barrell. We apologize about the driveway, we will try to come up with a solution to make it a bit easier to get up. We are glad that you otherwise enjoyed your stay!
It was a great place for a family gathering. The clubhouse was a big hit with young and old alike. I'm looking forward to my next stay.
