Great multi family home

Birch lodge was great for multiple families to stay together and still have plenty of room. The house was clean and definitely as advertised. Lots of local wildlife outside. Only drawback is that it takes about an hour to get to Keystone or Rapids City. We had activities in both directions- Devils tower, Spearfish canyon and then 1880 train and ATVs. So overall it worked well.

Overall, the property checked all the boxes with exception of one thing, internet connectivity. The bandwidth was very limited with speeds of /- 3 mbps. Streaming was not available and cell service was weak for Verizon. Can’t speak for the other carriers. if someone was wanting to work remotely, best to bring your WI-FI connectivity like Starlink. I gave the property a 5 star rating only because it wouldn’t be right to score as a 4 overall simply because of the bandwidth.

Fairchild family

Great home, great location. very clean. Family had a great time. Only 1 negative. One night during a thunderstorm we had water coming into one room in basement. Nothing major but required some cleanup. Husband and daughter went outside during heavy rain and discovered downspounts were plugged. Unplugged downspounts and fixed problem. Would still rent home again. Thank you

Spacious & Private home with spacious bedrooms for all.

All in all the setup of the house for a multi-age group is great. The neighborhood is near the old deer mountain ski resort, so you can go for neighborhood walks. The house has 3 different entertainment areas so people can have space. The beds are soft and cozy. Linens were nice and soft. The hot tub is best for 2 people at a time. It did keep a great temperature. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools for a large meal (crockpots, mixers, blenders, etc) The stove and oven worked great. The Satellite TV was nice because there is no streaming option with the TV's. Because we were in a rural setting we did have some mice come and visit. (we were there in the late fall) We reported to the owner and someone came to set up traps within the hour and was willing to work with us from a customer service standpoint. The "kid" room on the 2nd floor is nice because there are 4 twin beds and space for toys for the kids to play with. There are also some games on site too. Some adults games and some family games.

Family trip

Family of 10 stayed, ages 12-65. Plenty of room and 4 kids loved having the upstairs all to themselves. Some thought not having AC would be bad, but keeping the windows opened in the evening helped and the basement was cool. Biggest complaint at the house was the hot tub was way too small. The house is a great size and we didn't feel on top of each other. We would definitely stay at this property again!!
