Wonderful relaxation

The house set in the middle of mostly pine trees provided much quietness and relaxation. The hot tub was perfect after our long days of hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking and dining supplies. The house was large enough that 8 adults were never in each other’s way. The only downside to our visit was that our destinations either to the various tourist areas or to the closest town for groceries took minimally 30 minutes, so one needs to plan accordingly. We would definitely book this house again!

Family vacation

We didnt get much time to just relax but it was great to be able to relax on the deck and watch the world go by. Breakfast and supper were easily prepared in the convenient kitchen, we served buffet style and enjoyed everyones company at the large dining room table :) The 4 cousins enjoyed being outside and even picked wild raspberries!. A big thank you to our hosts for offering such a wonderful home for our family to be together. We made a trip to Flag Mountain and did some geo caching. We love the Black Hills!!

7 of us enjoyed our stay. We 4-wheeled everyday and drove right off the property. It is so well located, you can go any direction and never ride them all. Host is great! Property is beautiful with amazing sunsets off the wrap around porch. We look forward to stay again!

Scenic View

We used the cabin for our family Christmas in the summer and had plenty of room for everyone. The layout was great and the view from the balcony was amazing. The only downfall in the house that I noticed was the bedrooms upstairs were a little small due to the slope of the roof. There was a little highway construction down the road which was out of their control. Very peaceful and secluded from a lot of people around. Very enjoyable!

Family vacation

We came for a family vacation from Wisconsin. The cabin was amazing. Set out about 30 min from the city which we didn’t mind at all. Quiet, clean, beautiful setting. The cabin had everything we needed. The WiFi was great as the cell signal was not available until getting back to Hill City. The hosts were super responsive to questions we had. Hot tub was amazing after a long day. Would totally come back.

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was a breeze and the property manager was very responsive with any questions we had. If you are looking for a place that allows you to be away from others, this is your place. Very peaceful and quiet. Just want the Dr. ordered for our family.

Didn't want to leave it was so nice

We had three generations of our family staying from ages 6 to 65 and this house was perfect for us. It was so clean and the views are spectacular. It was also so close to the trails and Deerfield Lake which so convenient. We drove our side-by-sides everyday and loved hoping on the trails so close to the Alpine Lodge.

Amazing property!!!

The cabin was more than we could have asked for. A group of 7 of us with 4 motorcycles stayed here for the Sturgis Rally. Greg was an amazing host and communicated so quickly when we had questions. The location is beautiful, the cabin had everything you could need, and 7 adults had more than enough room. Having motorcycles on the gravel road was pleasantly easy! The road is well maintained and having access to one side of the garage was a great selling point! Highly recommend this property & host! If you are ever wanting to stay here for the Rally it’s a perfect location puts you in the center of everywhere we wanted to ride! Thank you Greg for an amazing experience!

A great place in the mountains

This was a great place to stay for our group. We loved the neat view and the hot tub was clean and very peaceful to sit in during the evening. The kitchen was really well stocked and the dishes and things were clean. We felt like the place was a good deal and had a cozy feel to it. The only complaints might be the lack of climate control in the upstairs bedroom with the bunk bed. It got hot and with the door closed it was a bit of a challenge to keep cool without placing a fan near the screen door. Once we did that the cool air would feed in and cooled the room well. It was certainly not a deal breaker. The owner answered our text quickly when we had a question and was easy to communicate with. Overall great place.
