Quintessential Cabin

This is a perfect little rustic A-frame. Open layout is perfect for a small family to be able to do their own thing while being close together. Proximity to Terry Peak, hot tub, scenery, wood-burning stove, and quiet neighborhood are also major selling points. We LOVE Bobcat Retreat!

Cute A-Frame

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute A-frame. There was only 2 of us so plenty of room. The property was clean, well stocked with towels and other supplies such as towels, tp, paper towels, etc. Nice deck off the back to enjoy morning coffee or a nightcap. The hot tub was newer, well maintained and so welcome to soak in after a day of riding. Momma deer and her two babies would walk through the back yard. Very easy check-in & checkout. Just wish there would have been WiFi as cell service is spotty.

Fun getaway

This cabin was functional, cute, and had the essentials of privacy and close to some trails. The loft stairs are definitely steep and I would say not everyone would be able to use them. They were fine for us. Cabin had everything we needed except for a lighter for the fireplace. But we managed. The hot tub was perfect. Not a lot of cell service and no Wi-Fi. We loved our stay.

Year 3

3rd year in a row staying here . Only disappointment this year was very little firewood staged to bring n and all the lighters were out of fluid and hardly any paper to help start. Manager brought us what we needed quickly. Hot tub was a bit dirty which was a first in all out stays. Overall still a peaceful place and we enjoyed as always

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I have stayed in this rental before. It is a small rental with a small bedroom and a bed in the loft. We had another couple join us last minute so we stayed in the loft and gave them the bedroom downstairs. Loft is not terrible. I am 6'2" and managed fine. Queen bed worked for the time there. Steps are plenty steep but just take your time using them and you will be fine. Rental was clean and everything worked as it should. It suited our needs for the 3 nights we were there.

Loved the area!

Pretty darn accurate listing. Very peaceful & quiet. The danger of the narrow stairs to the upper level prevented us from sleeping in the most comfy bed 🙁 … Did not need a trip to the ER! Spiral staircase would be an amazing solution! Many thanks to the guest book tips that prevented stubbed toes @fireplace 😉 We loved our Lead stay; Mickelson Trail was breathtaking! So much to see in such little time! We’ll be back for Devil’s Tower & Crazy Horse. Host was not very host-like when we asked for clarity after he emailed a ‘construction update for possible alternate cabin access’. We appreciated the update, but he communicated like we were locals. It didn’t help that it was dark & raining but we landed w/success regardless👍Overall, quite pleased w/our stay. 💫

Family Vacation

Lovely cabin for our family of 5. The view sitting in the hot tub or on the deck was relaxing. Kitchen had everything we needed to make meals at home. Everything was in decent driving distance. Spearfish canyon was just a hop away. Overall, very pleased with the place.

Our daughter had a stroke while on a business trip and we had to leave. The cabin was very nice and we would stay again sometime. I let the caretaker know we were leaving and she said she would notify Buddy, I was a little disappointed that I didn’t receive a follow up email.

Nice But Probably Would Not Rent Again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was nice, had most of our meals there. Started off in the downstairs bedroom but it was too cramped and we moved upstairs after a couple nights. It was way more comfortable upstairs, you just have to be careful on the stairs as they are pretty steep. The two drawbacks were 1. No Wifi. It would have been nice to have that to be able to help find hiking trails and whether or not things were open, it being the off season. 2. I think the hot tub was over chlorinated. Both my wife and I got rashes. Mine went away 2 days after refraining from the hot tub, my wife's took almost a week. It got foamy when you started the jets which I've never encountered before. The hot tub was a main reason we rented the place and then we couldn't use it. Maybe it was something we ate but I kind of doubt it. The cabin was in a good location and it was quiet at night.

Quick get away

It is a fairly nice cabin. Won’t advice take young children to this cabin. Upper level has very steep and scary stairs. Only has a shower and hot water last about 2 minutes. Other than that it is a good cabin for people like us who likes to go see things and who doesn’t plan on staying in the cabin all day.
