Great mini vaca get away!

Property location was great for us. Close to Deadwood, shuttle service to and from. Close to winter sports. There’s plenty of room for 8 adults to sit at a table for a meal, or enjoy a movie in sitting area. There are plenty of things to do on site with the shared community cabin as well.

This cabin is beautiful, all the amenities we could want, very comfortable beds and furniture. We loved the fireplaces and the large dining table/fully stocked kitchen.
