Good location
House was lovely, lots of room, and a fairly well-appointed kitchen. Worked out well for our group. Having the big electric griddle there was a Plus! Pancakes for 11 people for breakfast really worked out well! Highly recommend. House was well-located just out of Hill City, so convenient to lots of the Black Hills attractions.
The stay was great, with enough rooms for the whole crew, we had 18 people. The kitchen was easy to use. Only wish we could have used the hot tub but we knew it wasn’t available yet.
Our group of 13 were enchanted by this rustic property. There was plenty of room for everyone and the location is very convenient to area sites and charming downtown.
We loved the quiet country location. This cabin was great for our family to gather. We had some singles and some couples and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone.
It would have been nice to have some bigger cookware for cooking for a group.
Great place for our reunion. Overall the property is great. An issue with the oven, but it was resolved. The yard area in front of the cabin was great. The kids loved it.
This cabin was perfect for our large group! Enough bedrooms and bathrooms and we never ran out of hot water! Enough parking for several trailers and vehicles. Close access to great trails! Highly recommend!
