Our room had apparently been worked on prior to our stay and was not cleaned before we arrived. We ended up canceling our entire stay here.

It was just a nice place to stay. Fairly even being next to the road. Clean. More than 2 coffee pods! Bonus!! I like that I can park my bike right in front of the unit. Not the Hilton. But for the price it’s pretty top notch. A few minor nit picks. Nothing significant enough to list. Would stay again.

This place is close to everything and far enough away to not be affected by the busyness that is Lead and Deadwood. I love being near the woods and mountains but where it is quiet and peaceful. This is a no frills, down to earth kind of place and I love it!

It was very echo friendly cuz there was very little hot water flow in the shower.!?!? The hair dryer didn't work. It was almost impossible to drain sink. No one to check us in and we did not notice the email prior. However, the room was quiet, charming and homing. The location was good. PS instruction would be helpful at coffee maker.

Convenient location by Lead/Deadwood

We stayed in cabin #5, there was 3 bedrooms with queen size beds in each room. Nothing fancy but very comfortable. There was a microwave and mini fridge but be aware of no cooking facilities or dishes. This worked fine for us as we had cereal and donuts for breakfast and we made sandwiches and had snacks in the evening when we got back from sightseeing for the day. There is a bbq grill but no utensils to use. We were still able to bbq hot dogs with what we had with. There is a grocery store and gas station less then a 1/4 mile away. Parking was directly in front of cabin. Cons: no end tables or night stands, no washclothes but lots of towels.

The property was fairly clean, but old / run down. No staff onsite. No cleaning services offered / available during our stay. Limited amount of clean towels were provided at the beginning of the stay, however, nothing additional provided. This was our first time staying at this property. While it worked for our needs at the time, I'd prefer to spend the money on a nicer room with additional amenities. Staff / communication was via email or text only.

Quiet Cabin for Sturgis

I really enjoyed this little cabin in the woods. It was quiet despite Sturgis and all the motorcycles going by!
