Wonderful Property
We had an amazing stay at Mountain Crest! It was clean, well kept, and had amazing views. The drive to the property was scenic, but was close enough to Lead if we needed anything, but also close to all the hiking trails. We go to the Black Hills every year, and will be looking to rebook this place next year!

Beautiful setting and has everything you need for a remote woodsy getaway with a fantastic view. The cabin was just as described, very clean and well maintained. We arrived the day of a winter storm warning and the cabin with all the features kept us extremely comfortable, happy, and warm. The roads to the cabin were very well maintained.

What a wonderful property! You could see for miles! Serene, quiet, so much room to move, walk, enjoy nature. The fire pit was beautiful. The home was adorable and so comfortable. The description of the stairs is accurate but very manageable. We will definitely be back!

This was perfect! Looked for a place to just relax. This is a gem! It truly looked magical with the snow falling and the peaceful walks were splendid. Just what we needed to decompress from Life’s craziness. It’s secluded , peaceful, cozy and so relaxing. The bed was a great nights sleep too. The kitchen is cozy and the wood burning stove kept us very warm. The scenery and view was breathtaking . We loved the quiet and it had great amenities as well. It truly felt like we were in a hallmark movie scene. We loved it and we will be back for sure!

Yet another spectacular stay
This was our second time at this rental and it was just as wonderful as the first. This cabin is a truly special place, it’s cozy, comfortable, well equipped, and even if it weren’t for all these throngs the views, scenery, and location would make staying here worth it. While our adventures likely won’t take us back to the Black Hills again for a while, we hope to be able to return here again in the future.

Black Hills SD Amazing Vacation!
This property is one of the best VRBO rentals we have ever rented. This location in the Black Hills is close to National Parks and monuments, local attractions and everything you could ever wish for in a vacation. The cabin is in an amazing place and so peaceful. It had everything we could ever need including a Blackstone grill. We had never used a grill like this, but we sure learned quickly and cooked only on this grill the entire time we were there. The road to the cabin is very well maintained and we did not have any problems getting around. Great place that we would recoomend!

Secluded cabin with a view
Our family enjoyed the stay, and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place in the Black Hills. The pictures and description are accurate, and we were happy we could bring our dog as well. We enjoyed evenings on the deck after busy days sightseeing the area. Only thing I wish I knew ahead of time, coffee is not provided. There is a coffee maker and K cup machine, just need to bring your own coffee. The first morning meant driving 15 minutes to the nearest coffee spot. Not a dealbreaker but a bit of an inconvenience. Overall a great stay, and would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay, very secluded and peaceful location. It was super well stocked to stay entertained while spending the full day there, tons of games, DVDs, and kitchen ware. We loved our nightly fire pits chilling with a friendly family of chipmunks.

Where to start,The view is amazing. We seen deer every morning and after noon. Seen the most amazing lightning storms every night we were there. They have a large Blackstone if you never used one you have to try it.it’s like a giant cast iron skillet. I plan on returning next year for a longer stay!!

It awas a great family getaway!! Loved the aserenity the cabin gave us while we traveled as a family with our 2 dogs. The cabin gave us the serenity of the Black Hills but allowed us to be close to hiking and other attractions to participate in. Will definitely choose to return if in the area!

Very disappointed
First impressions are a big deal. We walked up to the front door where there was a bag of garbage laying wide open, right by the door. The flies and bees were having a great time. The smell was horrid. There were dishes left in the sink and laundry left in the dryer. The upstairs gets so hot and the one tower fan is so loud, it was unusable. The grass/weeds were so high, even our dog wouldn’t go through them. When we did drudge through the weeds, our daughter stepped in dog poop! To which my husband said, I get it, why pick up the poop if you can’t see through the weeds. The bedroom with the balcony-the screen door is so bent up, the bugs just flew right in. While the stairs are definitely unique, they are very dangerous. Our ages are 46,42, 14 & 12 and everyone of us struggled with the stairs. If we had any form of physical issues, they would have been undoable. We were provided 3 paper towel rolls that were over half gone, with no replacements. We stayed for 6 days. We definitely will not be coming back. Very disappointed.

Peaceful
Such a peaceful place. Very little traffic and a beautiful view. Secluded enough you couldn’t see much of the road. The cabin is clean and cozy and very well thought out with all the little details and amenities(dishes, spices, board games, firewood, roaster sticks, soaps, ect.) My 8 year old is already asking when we can come back!! Our 50lb dog couldn’t make the stairs so we had to carry him up and down but we anticipated that, just a warning if you have a larger dog.

Beautiful Getaway
I’ve always wanted to stay in a little log cabin in the snowy woods - this was perfect! My kids (5 & 7) spent hours sledding and playing in the snow, and we all enjoyed the coziness and peace and quiet. The cabin isn’t huge, but we had everything we needed. And a perfect base camp for some skiing at Terry Peak. Highly recommend - I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again
