Love this home. The location is great - really like the woody area but the closeness to town and amenities. The covered deck with wood burning fireplace was our favorite spot. We will look at booking this again when we are back in the Black Hills.

Fun Holiday Stay
We stayed here with some other family members (13 of us total) for Christmas 2024 (4 nights). The house is exactly as pictured and was decorated for Christmas, so that was great! The pros: Hot tub was simple and easy to use, club house was just across the street, so it was easy for the kids to get to and enjoy all the fun stuff there. The floor plan and space in the house was adequate for our stay, not too big or small. Kitchen was well-stocked for cooking (minus a blender) - several pots and pans, cookie sheets, baking pans, etc. Includes pool towels and had enough bath towels. Great location and easy to get to, felt secluded with the woodsy and hilly scenery. Close to grocery store.Cons: Could use a nice spring cleaning. Dining chandelier had dust webs on it, couch needed a quick swiffer job underneath, etc. We did end up cleaning out the utensil drawer...way too many crumbs and dust bunnies in there to feel comfortable using the silverware and cooking utensils. Nice and clean now for the next guests :) Bring your own pillow if you are picky - these are pretty flat and lifeless. Glad we brought a few extra of our own. The lighting in here, while fitting in with the decor style, was awful for actually seeing things! Very dim and dark - made it tricky for playing games and doing puzzles, legos, etc. Bring a headlamp.Overall, a really fun stay in a great location, would stay here again!

Very good impression of the property. It had very good curb appeal, the layout of the house was perfect for our stay. Liked the deck/fireplace sitting area the most, and the open concept of the living space.

Beautiful home that is not properly maintained
Beautiful home that is not properly maintained. At check in: we had to scoop to get to cabin door. Keyless entry did not work with code given. It was opened remotely and the same code was given, which did not work. House appeared clean, but we discovered beddings and blankets that were not clean. Kitchen small appliances didn’t work. Deck boards had holes in them. Sliding glass door didn’t lock in the basement. Gas fireplace appears to have been put out with a fire extinguisher. Very hard to figure out how it worked. Remote controls need batteries. Had to search the house for lightbulbs to replace burnt out bulbs. Appeared to have septic issues once the snow melted. Reported this to property managers. If I owned this home, I would take a good look at all of these gaps in care. Thank you!

Great property
Very clean and spacious. Great supplies on hand. Good layout for having groups on main floor (us), upstairs (older or maybe parents with younger kids), and downstairs (noisy young adults lol). Bring some firewood with you as you will love the outdoor fireplace. Cabs from cabin to downtown Deadwood ran $35 for group of 6 adults and $25 for 2 one way. Have cash for cabs. Overall great property!

Lots of room for all 5 couples!
We had a wonderful friends-reunion at this spacious home. Lots of room for everyone to spread out, and the outside seating around the fireplace (we did not use the fireplace) was a great place to hang out in the late afternoon. There are other houses nearby, and during our last night a neighboring group was noisy in the early am hours (2-3am), but otherwise everyone seemed respective of their neighbors. Lots to see and do in the area!

Beautiful cabin
The cabin was beautiful with a wonderful layout for family. When we arrived the cabin was completely out of fire wood so I contacted the after hours and they promptly replied and found a solution. The fireplace on the deck was the best part of every night, so convenient and easy to use. Only small things could make this place a five star like nice bath towels and kitchen supplies (no blender, overused tefal cookware, no tinfoil, no napkins, enough forks). Would stay there again and recommend to anyone else.

Unique large house in a neighborhood of neat houses
In a development of unique houses this large house was comfortable in its appointments. Nice grill, wonderful fireplace setting outside, hot tub and 5 rooms was a great meeting place for a family gathering. Close to the community center with a pool and game room, it seems to be in development used a fair amount for other bnb's. Nice kitchen to cook in, with a good amount of cooking equipment, make sure you bring everything else though.

Slightly Disappointing
The property is beautiful, in a lovely neighborhood, and the host was very responsive when I asked a couple questions prior to arriving and on the day of our stay.
We were quite disappointed to find the home rather unkempt with dirty carpets with visible pieces of food/crumbs, a broken chair in the living room, garbage tucked under the couch, a broken garbage disposal and dishwasher (that we fixed) and thick dust in various places around the house. The upstairs bedrooms were so warm, even with the air conditioner running. The most unpleasant of all was the basement, which was almost completely unusable for us as it was so allergenic. The bedrooms all smelled of very strong air freshener/heavily scented laundry detergent. We spent our first day giving the house a good cleaning and washing all the sheets and towels so we could feel comfortable staying there. This was very unfortunate for a home this beautiful and of this price range. With COVID, we chalked it up to understaffing as well as the neighborhood seeming to be almost exclusively vacation rentals managed by the same company.
Overall, our stay was acceptable and we enjoyed the area and the homes proximity to many activities.
