Perfect location in the Black Hills region to make day-excursions from. Also perfect location for just hanging out together and allowing the kids to explore and play outside. Thank you for the clean and complete accommodations.
Very nice, spacious property, well stocked with dishes, games, books, etc.. We loved the firepit in the evenings. The guest house was perfect for our parents who can't do stairs. Great close proximity to Hill City!!
The property was so epic! What a great spot for families to run around, play volleyball, horseshoes, explore and have fun in the creek. Highly recommended is not strong enough. House was so well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. We loved our stay!
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!
This place has just about everything you could need. Space for friends and family to spread out. Private, quiet and beautiful location. No AC upstairs, fans needed on hot humid days. A fan is supplied in every room.
This was an excellent vacation. Very roomy cabin and the bunkhouse was a plus with our group of 11. The boys had lots of room to play and hit wiffle balls outside. The town was just down the road and we went to Mt Rushmore in the morning and night since it was so close. We are thinking of coming back in a couple of years again.
We had a group of 9 seniors stay and we all loved Timber Ridge Lodge. Close to Custer Park, Mt Rushmore and many other attractions.
The view from the deck was great, the kitchen was well stocked and everything was as advertised.
Highly recommend!
Our family had a great stay. There were 11 of us and this place was exactly what we hoped for. Timber Ridge Lodge is situated in a great location and accommodated all of us comfortably. Our first visit to So Dak was quite memorable and this place definitely added to the good memories.
Great cabin close to Hill City and all the surrounding attractions. Owners are extremely helpful in providing tips/advice for this area. Beautiful scenery surrounds this cabin - great place for a family vacation!
