Great, spacious cabin for extended family vacation

The cabin and clubhouse were beautiful and spacious. The original code we were given to check in did not work, but a quick phone call was all it took to clear it up. It was a life-saver having on-site laundry with kids around, and we spent many hours at the clubhouse pool. Loved the hot tub and foosball table, and the kitchen was well stocked. Beds were big and comfortable. Bring your own toiletries. My only criticism is the check-out instructions could use some review- the instructions in the printed folder did not match those sent electronically, which did also not match those texted the day of checkout- nothing major :) . We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again!

Mount Rushmore 2019

The property was great. We had three families all in one location, close to everything we wanted to do, even Devil's Tower. We had a wonderful time and even when we needed help with the hot tub the property manager was there to help! There is a fooseball table in the photos, but not on site so the kids were a little disappointed about that. We would suggest dressers in the bedrooms and more towel hooks. But overall, awesome! Highly recommend!

Family ski trip

Loved the property. We were a late night arrival and our lockbox code did not work. It was snowing and cold and had 5 little kids with us so getting ahold of property manager and getting in to cabin was a little bit of a pain. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars on everything.

Perfect for 2 Families Enjoying 1 Vacation

Overall we liked the property and how easy it was to get to and the views. It was plenty of space for 6 of us, and could probably accommodate another family easily. Beds were comfortable and plenty of bathrooms! We cooked 2 meals/day and enjoyed the kitchen equipment as well as the grill.
