Nice place to stay! Furniture is wore out so not very comfortable but the space was nice. The parking for trailers is definitely not ideal but doable. Overall a good place to stay

Enjoyed
The location was easy to find and we enjoyed the stay. Would have been helpful to know the driveway is steep and lose gravel at the end of it. Not easy to get a trailer into if hauling a bike or side-by-side to ride in the hills.

Great location!
This location is perfect for us. We had quite a few generations staying in this one location. Some spent the majority of time in Deadwood; others went to Mt. Rushmore and Keystone. The cabin did have a fire pit and hot tub (we didn't use it) for those who just wanted to chill.

Terry Peak Vacation
House is well kept and clean, plenty of cookware, Evan a crock pot. Very pleased. Nice gas grill, great hot tub! Be prepared to put it in 4x4 to get up the driveway.
