Great mini vaca get away!

Property location was great for us. Close to Deadwood, shuttle service to and from. Close to winter sports. There’s plenty of room for 8 adults to sit at a table for a meal, or enjoy a movie in sitting area. There are plenty of things to do on site with the shared community cabin as well.
