This is the second time we’ve stayed in this rental neighborhood and again enjoyed our stay! A highlight was the hot tub and the kitchen was very fully stocked with all we needed.

Outstanding cabin and location. Only issue is the entry way (walk way) tends to get muddy when it rains hard. Nothing left in the cabin to clean it.

We loved the Gold Rush Lodge. It was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was located near a lot of fun things to do. Our kiddos enjoyed skiing at Terry Peak and we enjoyed taking old time photos in Deadwood. Awesome location!

Family getaway

This cabin was perfect for our family getaway. We wanted a place where we could start our day with a relaxing morning breakfast, find daytime activities nearby, and return for an evening meal. We enjoyed the fireplace and the hot tub. Communication with the property manager was efficient and check in was easy. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

Beautiful Cabin but lacking Maintenance

Check in an location were great. Cabin location is fantastic. Cabin rooms and decor are lovely. However, the property has not been well maintained. A faulty water heater left us with cold cold showers for 2 of the 4 nights. Deck hose not put up correctly resulted in my 70 year old mother tripping and falling over it the first night. The grill woud not heat appropriately despite having a full tank of propane resulting in ruined meat the first night (maintenance did replace this the next day). The towels all smelled moldy. Upon checking the washer, there was mold in the washer (it appears the maid had been shutting the washer door and closing it up with the moisture in it after washing loads). There were no pans to bake or cook anything in the oven with (maintenance did bring something back the 2nd afternoon for this). The drive was completely washed out with a 10 inch wide and about 14-16 inch deep rut (maintenance did resolve this the 3rd afternoon of our 4 night stay). No batteries in remote in loft and upon buying some realized that the DVD player didnt work in the loft. Bathroom door locks did not work (maintenance did switch one of the bathroomout with a bedroom lock so 1 was resolved that way). The loft for kids had no lighting as bulbs were out. We resolved and got 1 bulb to allow light. Missing outler covers in loft (kids room) and in 1 of the basement bedrooms. Maintenance did get covers for them after checking to see if they were "hot".
