We enjoyed having several bedrooms and bathrooms. We would have liked a few more large bowls and pots for cooking since our group likes to cook most of our meals when staying somewhere. We had roughly 10 people there and it was difficult to get everyone around one table. Enjoyed the hottub and the outdoor space a lot. The internet was more than enough, it roughly 100 mbps download for reference. A plus for most of us was the lack of cell service, so we could disconnect and enjoy our time.

We booked this property last minute and the communication was great with Matt, the property manager. Questions, issues, before booking and after, were all promptly answered. The house was fully stocked and my kids loved the hot tub. The weather wasn't quite nice enough for the pool but we'd love to come back when it is!Everything worked as expected and if something didn't, Matt quickly answered/addressed the subject in question. The location was great! We saw deer in/on/around the property every day/night and my kids thought it was awesome! Quiet location, not far from Hill City.Easy in and out - check in/check out/of the house itself - and felt very secure.The responsibilities for check out were very reasonable and easy to do. Appreciated after some of the places we've stayed.Would definitely stay here again!
