Shawna, thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the communication. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The lodge fit our needs perfectly, and we had a great stay. The kids had fun with all the games on the lower floor. The hot tub was amazing to enjoy in the evening after hiking. The kitchen was well-equipped. The location was ideal in the Black Hills, allowing for easy enjoyment of the area.

We're thrilled you enjoyed the stunning views, the amenities, and that the kids had fun too. It means a lot to hear you'd recommend the place. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and we'd absolutely love to host you again anytime, Anne!
We had the best time. My only complaint would be the place sleeps 16 but does not house 16 well. There were only 9 coffee cups the table only seats 8 the living areas do not fit more than 8 with out having to sit on the floor. The hot tub only seats 5. The place was cute, and clean. The beds were comfortable.

We were very pleased with our cabin! It was super clean and very well laid out. My only concern was the poor pots and pans we had to use so we quickly alerted the owners and they promptly provided us with newer pots and pans we could use. Everything else was great!

Thank you for your glowing review, Ernest! We're delighted that you enjoyed the setting, the community, and the property itself. It’s wonderful to hear that you had a positive experience with the hosting as well. We can't wait to welcome you back for another stay. Thank you again!
Loved how spacious that cabin was for the family. There was enough space for all of us to be together or have space individually. It wasn't too far from town for those grocery runs. Park was nice for the kids. We enjoyed having a sauna and hot tub right close by. Somethings that would be nice is have the cupboards cleaner and a few more cooking dishes/utensils. Otherwise, our family enjoyed the area.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Abby! We’re glad to hear that the cabin and amenities worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the location. We appreciate the feedback regarding the cupboards and kitchen supplies, it's very helpful, and we’ll definitely look into making improvements. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back again!
The house was spacious enough for all of us. Everything was super clean. The decor was so cute! And the house was equipped with everything we needed for our week stay with friends and family. The kids enjoyed the selection of games in the game room, was a little sad that Big Buck Hunter didn't work though. Beds were ok, they're memory foam. Shower pressure in downstairs shower was a little weak but was great in upstairs shower. Loved the hot tub but it needed cleaned. The scenery was amazing! Loved seeing the wildlife and the Spires out our cabin window! The location was great, close to town if we needed to run in and grab anything and a good central location for all the site seeing we did! We would definitely stay here again!

We’re so glad your week with friends and family was a memorable one! It’s great to hear the cabin felt spacious, spotless, well-equipped, and cozy with décor you enjoyed. We’re happy the kids loved the game room too.
We appreciate you noting the Big Buck Hunter issue, downstairs shower pressure, and hot tub cleaning. We’ll make sure each is addressed. The views of the wildlife and Spires are truly special, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!

Not quite like we hoped!
The house was nice but the property itself was a mess. They were trimming trees all over the property and did not pick up any of the debris/fallen branches the whole 5 days of our stay.
We had 12 of us staying in one home and needed 2 bathrooms but the bathroom on the main floor (where my parents, one who had a stroke and can’t walk very well) had issues. The knob fell off causing us to go the first 3 days with only 1 shower.
We only had 1 hotel size shampoo and conditioner, 4 rolls of toilet paper and 4 very small garbage bags for our 5 days on site with 12 people. Needless to say we had to go shopping.
The kids did enjoy fishing in the pond and using the hot tub.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Emily. I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. Regarding the shower knob, we did try to expedite the repair, but unfortunately, securing the earliest appointment proved challenging, and I'm sorry this impacted your stay, especially considering your parents' needs.
As for the tree trimming, these measures were necessary to address potential safety hazards. Our team worked diligently to clear and clean the debris each day. I’m sorry this coincided with your stay.
Regarding the toiletries and supplies, as outlined in our guidebook, we provide a starter amount to help guests settle in, but we do recommend bringing additional supplies for longer stays or larger groups. I understand this was an inconvenience for your group, and I appreciate your feedback.
I’m glad the kids enjoyed the fishing and hot tub, and I hope we can provide a better experience for you in the future. Thank you again for your feedback.
Adventure and Relaxation at Your Doorstep: Our Experience at a Prime Vacation Spot
Our stay at this property was nothing short of fantastic! Nestled in the mountains and right on the waterfront, the location provided us with breathtaking views and easy access to nature activities like hiking and fishing. The proximity to Custer State Park—just a five-minute drive away—allowed us to easily explore its stunning landscapes and view the native wildlife. We also enjoyed quick trips to Sylvan Lake and the monumental Mount Rushmore, both within a short drive, adding a mix of serene beauty and historical awe to our visit.The property itself is wonderfully accommodating for families, with a kitchen fully stocked with all the necessities, a playground for kids, and a game room that was a hit with all ages. We were particularly impressed with the range of amenities that catered to every need—from a well-maintained garden and an inviting outdoor area complete with a barbecue grill and firepit for evening gatherings, to the comforting indoors equipped with a smart TV and a variety of games. The inclusion of a washing machine, dryer, and a fully equipped office space was incredibly convenient, ensuring that all our needs were met, whether for leisure or occasional work tasks.Safety was clearly a priority, with a carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit all readily accessible, which gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. The property’s pet-friendly policy also meant that our furry friends could join in on our family getaway, m
