Nightmare of a Bed
The cabin was clean and neat. However the bed was terrible. It was lumpy and very soft. We had a very hard time sleeping on it. It’s hard to believe anyone would find this an ideal bed or more than marginally acceptable at best. Also, in taking a shower we ran out of hot water once. In taking our next showers we waited a couple of hours after the last person showered before the next person showered (in order for the tank to refill). You shouldn’t have to do this. Third, the Wi-Fi was very spotty. You would have it and then lose it for 10 seconds and then it would reconnect. This happened a lot. Very disappointing. Another thing, there was a big sign outside our cabin that said something like “smile, you are being videotaped.” Not nice. Please get a new bed!

Our family of four had a great time at this property. Super cute! Only complaint was the beds weren’t the most comfortable and could use an upgrade.

This was a nice, quiet property. Check in was extremely easy and check out was even easier. It was close to all the stuff we wanted to do in the Black Hills area.

The resort has an incredible location and stunning views. Our “duplex “ cabin was way up the hill (good thing) but was a little dated. There wasn’t anything wrong but we had just stayed 3 nights elsewhere in a new cabin so we were a little biased. It was all open to the living space. Not a lot of privacy.
