Matt was awesome to work with! Very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was great. The rooms were big and easily accommodated our party of five adult couples and five kids. The outdoor space was great! Used the fireplace and hot tub every night.Location is perfect for a stay in the Black Hills!

Matt came over to welcome us shortly after we got into the house. He was very gracious and gave us a lot of good information. The unit was clean and spacious, and the location was very nice for a getaway.

Matt was great. He gave us a call the day before to check and see what time we would be getting in to make sure everything was ready at our arrival time. He was very quick to answer questions during our stay and was very professional and polite. You drive right up to the lodge and parking was plentiful, definitely enough for a group The fireplace was going and the house was warm when we walked in. Everything was super clean. Plenty of towels for each bathroom and separate ones for the pool/hot tub. Beds were of varying soft/med/hardness so we each chose one that worked for us. If we would have stayed li her we would have definitely utilized the kitchen and the grill outside. A few suggestions would be to have some bath sheets or beach sized towels for the hot tub/pool. Boyfriend is 6’5 and I’m almost 6foot and the towels were not large enough for us. It was fine but that would be appreciated. We didn’t see a hatchet for the wood, and didn’t know where to split the wood for the outdoor fireplace (note said not to split it on the fireplace but we didn’t see a stump or anything to place it on). Also we didn’t see any kindling, only quarters, but we might have missed it. Last suggesting would be to have an ottoman for the couch in the main living area for when you are watching TV. Other than that it was a great stay and we plan to come back with a big group of friends some time.
