Family Reunion Vacation

Our group of 17 (9 adults and 8 kids) had a great stay at Timber Ridge Lodge! Beautiful cabin and perfect location. We enjoyed watching the deer each morning and evening. We had plenty of room to gather for family meals. We enjoyed taking walks down the quiet gravel road. And we were just a short drive from all the local attractions.

Third Thanksgiving Family Reunion at Timber Ridge Lodge

Our family enjoyed another wonderful Thanksgiving holiday at Timber Ridge Lodge. The place was amazing and had plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed the beautiful views, spacious living areas, and big, clean bedrooms. Hill City is truly the heart of the hills and made it easy to get to lots of activities in the Black Hills. We will be back again in two years!

Great Family Getaway!

We loved Timber Ridge Lodge! We had the full 20 guests, ranging from ages 3 to 70 and there was room for everyone. The placed smelled so clean when we walked in and it had everything that we needed. It is also located right in the middle of the Black Hills, so the most you would have to drive is an hour. The volleyball area was a hit with our group as well. Would definitely recommend these accommodations!

Great house in a wonderful location

We enjoyed our week long stay at Timber Ridge Lodge. It was the perfect setting and location to explore the Black Hills and Custer State Park. House was as stated and toally stocked with sopas, trash bags, dish and washer pods which made it easy for us. Lots of space to relax inside and out and enjoy the turkeys and deer grazing in yard in early evening. Host was responsive and very helpful. I would recommend this lodging to any family or group of friends.

PERFECTION!!

Our very large family ..16 in all... spent a few days here after Christmas and LOVED every minute! The Lodge was beautifully decorated, so very clean and comfortable. It fit us perfectly. We enjoyed preparing our meals with ease in the lovely kitchen, playing games around the two dining room tables, sledding down the snowy hill in the backyard, and resting comfortably in our rooms. The Bunkhouse was great too!! Everything was perfect! We're already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Keaven for everything.

Awesome property to get old friends back together and enjoy the Black Hills - Crazy Horse Marathon Relay, biking the Mickelson, hiking trails, stories and problem-solving over home-cooked meals, and plenty of space to spread out and relax - inside and out! We will continue the tradition at TRL. Awesome kitchen update that makes mealtime even more enjoyable. Thanks again!

Timber Ridge Lodge was once again amazing. The living quarters are perfect for a group of active guys who like to bike, hike, watch football, grill, tell stories (some of them even true), and cook guy food inside. Plenty of room for cooking and socializing and enough privacy to meet everyone's needs. Even with less than ideal weather we had plenty of activities to keep us engaged. Excellent access to the Mickelson Trail, Hill City, Crazy Horse, Harney Peak, Mt. Rushmore, and much more in the Hills. We had an excellent time and will be back again next year - thanks TRL!

Great property off the beaten path yet close to Hill City. The teens loved the bunkhouse, my grandson was quite sad to have to give up his ‘man cave’. Kitchen was great, everything was ready to go. There was a griddle for pancakes and frankly anything you would need. Two coffee pots in the main house is great, as we emptied one the other was ready to go. Plenty of parking and the gravel road in was great for the runners in our group, as was the close proximity to the Mickelsen Trail. WiFi performed admirably considering we had 4 teens and 5 adults with phones and iPads, downright impressive really. I had to fire up a laptop for work one day and it handled that just fine too. Porches were great but please put thicker cushions in the covers as those benches are hard! The kids loved the semi-feral cat who was snuggling with them all on the porch by the end of day 2. We played cornhole (used our travel sewing kit to stitch up a few bean bags) and a little volleyball. We loved the available spaces and did a puzzle too! Would highly recommend to any larger group looking for a rental. Helpful hint: Air conditioning is on first floor only of the main house so be sure to shut windows and pull curtains upstairs once the sun is up. Then open the windows as soon as it starts to cool or it will be a bit stuffy for sleep. Thank you for a great vacation place!
