Amazing Couples Vacation

We had four couples staying here. We enjoyed the fact that we each had king sized beds and our own bathrooms. The home was very clean and the best stocked home we have stayed in. We take a couples trip to the Blackhills every year and highly recommend this home and property management company.

Great place

The house was amazing, my only complaints are it was a little dirty. When we got there, there were full and empty beer cans all over our back by the hot tub, fire place, and grill. The shower in the main floor master bathroom had not been cleaned as there was still spots of soap or shampoo or something. In general the place could have been a little cleaner, but other than that it was amazing!

MN Couple's group

The house is just as it's pictured. House is clean, but could use some updates. Shower floor upstairs feels like it will fall through the floor. A few boards on the stairs feel like they are loose. Otherwise very good stay with our group.

Family vacation was a success!

Blackwoods Retreat house was perfect for our first family vacation with the whole crew: 4 couples, 5 kids + dogs! Each couple got a private bedroom, most with a private bath. Kids loved hanging out in the upstairs game room, which gave the adults time to relax and chill in the living room, around the patio table, gas firepit or in the hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked--we cooked several hot breakfasts and a nice steak dinner one night. Beds and furniture were comfy. The community pool was also fun. Only 10 minutes or so to Spearfish Canyon and groceries/gas/restaurants in Lead/Deadwood area. Plenty of parking, quiet neighborhood. Minor issues with the single serve side of the coffee maker and the temperature level of the outdoor grill, but not enough to detract from the 5 star rating. Host communication was prompt and friendly. Would definitely recommend this property!

My husband and I love this area. I made the decision to plan a trip for my husband’s family for Christmas; there was 15 of us in total. Having 6 bedrooms was awesome and the kitchen/living room was a great place for all of us hang out and play games. On a positive note I received multiple emails on how to check in, checkout and thanking us for staying.Some of the concerns I have with this property. It was expensive for a two night stay. We picked this cabin for the following, we needed space for 15 and we wanted certain amenities, specifically a hot tub. Upon arrival the hot tub was blinking red and in protection mode. I did contact the host and I was told I received an email earlier in the day, which I did. I was told in the email that a technician would come Saturday to look at it again, which did not happen. Another concern was a beeping noise in the furnace room, which was directly below one the bedrooms. I contacted the host via email and was told that there is no way to manually turn off the beep and that it would need reset itself. The beeping did not stop the entire stay, which was very disappointing. Tv remotes did not work. I addressed all my concerns this with the host via email and nothing improved. Disappointing for the little time we spent there.
