The home is beautiful, plenty of room for large families. The surrounding area is beautifully green, saw a few antelope grazing nearby. I had to reach out to the property manager a few times, they were quick to respond and prompt to take care of needs. My recommendation as the female cook in the family (uses the kitchen almost daily) there was no blender or food processor. We had to purchase one. We were vacationing for the Sturgis motorcycle rally, therefore had to leave the blender we purchased due to lack of packing space. I would also recommend a mesh strainer, matching baking (cake pans) and larger pots and pans for large families. Overall we enjoyed our stay, property management is amazing! We would definitely rent here again!

Wonderful experience in this amazing home. Check in was super simple, even at 9pm at night and we felt very welcomed. The kitchen had everything you could ask for and the fridge was perfect. The views, wildlife, and location is perfect for a family retreat that encompasses some amazing sites. Fantastic experience on the whole!

Perfect place for a big family

We loved the centralized location of this home. There were so many fun things to do here that we hardly wanted to leave and explore the surrounding sites. We loved that it had 5 big bedrooms with queen or king beds. The spacious kitchen was amazing, especially the huge fridge and freezer. The great room was perfect for our whole family to hang out, and the big beautiful dining table was great for meals and playing games. Our family agrees that we'd all stay here again.

Reunion of friends!

We had a reunion of friends - 40 years worth of memories to share! This house was PERFECT for us. We all had plenty of space, everything we needed was there (we prepared all our meals), the guys enjoyed playing cornhole and it was close to many of the things we did. Would HIGHLY recommend this place - We created more memories to last until our next reunion!

Custer stay

It was a perfect property with LOTS of room for everyone and places to park our pickup and trailers. The only drawback was no Kleenex in the house and the water heater was only a 50 gallon tank which did not provide enough warm water for us all to shower.
