Spacious get away

This is a lovely home nestled in a beautiful neighborhood. The home was very spacious for our needs. Nice, modern decor which made it cozy. Only a couple of negatives which were the coffee pot did not work properly. It took 45 minutes to brew a pot. The shower pressure was not great and there were lots of cobwebs. Also could use new pillows on the beds. They were awful! We tried contacting the manager with his personal number that he gave to inquire about the possibility of a later check out and we got no response. Overall a very nice place.

Hills vacation

Fire pit and plastic lounge chairs unusable. Cleaning staff not getting into corners or outside of stairs. Heavy layer of dust on those. Even toilet paper dispenser covered in thick layer of dust. That was just the bathroom I used.

Not Impressed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Parking was limited, pictures are deceiving. Had not been dusted in a long time. Upstairs very hot even with the AC on. Owner of the property decided to stop by and come inside the house at 10pm with no notice. Internet was not working, line got cut. Construction next door with a generator that ran all day and night.

Lifelong Memories with Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience at Falling Star was unforgettable! The spacious, cozy rooms were perfect for all members of our family(13). The deck was perfect for us to grill outside, play games, eat, and have conversation. The garage was a tremendous help when it rained as we were able to play cornhole and have the grandkids play there as well. The acoustics are amazing! Very spacious for all of us. The kitchen allowed us to cook our meals for all and not create clutter or feel compacted. Accessibility to the Community Center was awesome! We ventured there several times and we loved it! A perfect distance from the Country Club, Deadwood or anything else you wanted to do. I would recommend cleaning the grill grates. Your communication was spot on as all of our questions were answered immediately. Thank you, Thank You for a very memorable stay for our family. Many tears were shed when we left. My grandson summed it up best when he said, "I want to stay here longer!"

Falling Star

Falling Star Very good location with plenty of wildlife to enjoy as you sit on the porch or take a leisurely walk. Here is what we liked about Falling Star: o Host’s rapid response to questions. o Gas stove o Ample beautiful bathrooms with good water pressure in zero-entry showers o Nice complement of appliances o Mirrors in bedrooms o All beds were very comfy with great closet space in room o Lovely interior touches o Great natural light in living area o Comfortable gathering areas upstairs and downstairs o Washer and dryer availability o Enjoyed the games (cornhole, electronic darts and games downstairs) o Frequent visits from doe and fawn families, morning and dusk. o Hot tub worked perfectly o Good housekeeping overall Potential areas for consideration: o Would appreciate clearer instructions for trash disposal in the home-guidebook. There were no instructions for recycling, but a recycling trash can was out front by the porch. What should be included in the recycling can? (Glass? Cans? What plastics?) Where and when should the recycling trash can be placed for pick-up? o Final instructions in home-guidebook differed slightly from email. Perhaps an update is needed? o We missed having a crockpot in kitchen. o A little tight on space for vehicles/trailers/Can Ams for our purposes. o TVs are not in all adult bedrooms o Could not get the TV downstairs to work. I tried to load some apps that I have subscription to but always got an internet error. o When we vacuumed bef

AH-MAZING!

We absolutely loved staying here. Will definitely be back. Area is stunning. House was beautiful and pristine. Property manager was responsive. Community center was an added bonus. Close to Terry Peak. Beautiful development. My husband and six kids stayed and all got their own beds. Garage to park in. Just all...ah-mazing. Thank you!

UTV with friends

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This experience was average. The water should have provided hot water immediately with the kind of water heater it was, we never could figure out the hot water-some had good pressure, some would have hot shower and some would have a cold shower, there was no reason to when any of these experiences would happen. We were UTC riding, a shower after riding was important to our crew. The washer would typically have to be restarted due to error. The location is perfect. The parking is limited if multiple families are enjoying this vacation home. The thermostat is on the main level--basement and upstairs were hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. Was clean. Nice to know--there is a trailer parking area in the complex (this is a nice feature if traveling to area to ride UTVs prior to check in)

Morning Star

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had an issue with the water heater and called the property manager. A plumber came and fixed the problem. Our grandchildren loved the pool and the splash pad at the community center. The house was only a short walk away from the center. Powder House Pass is well located, only short drive to Lead for any additional supplies you might need.

Beautiful Home BUT Very disappointed!!

Home was beautiful and location was perfect for our motorcycle trip however we ran into a number of issues that were very disappointing considering the price we paid. First there was still a load of sheets and towels in dryer running upon our arrival. Towels were put up wet (not damp) as it appeared they were not prepared for our arrival. More importantly, the downstairs bedroom had dirty sheets, hair clumps and dirt (gross) and pictures were provided to owner but no response. Hot tub was not properly cleaned as it foamed terribly on day 1. Pacman machine only let you move right so couldn't enjoy. Electric dart board gave error message and didn't work. I did reach out prior to leaving this review and was given a refund on the cleaning fee...honestly would have expected more considering but lesson learned.
