Family vacation

Our stay at Mercantile was amazing. Three families, including two families of four and one family of three from across the US met at this lovely cabin in Lead, South Dakota. The cabin was beautiful and we had everything we needed. If you are seeking a quiet place nestled within nature, this is the place to stay.

Family Summer vacay

The house was very comfortable. The beds were nice. We enjoyed the hot tub though better instructions on how to care for it would have been good. The neighborhood was good, nothing too noisy or crazy. Our family had a great time in the hills.

Black Hills Trip

The Mercantile Cabin was perfect for our 2018 family vacation. It was within a short driving distance to many of the attractions we wanted to visit during our stay. The cabin was very comfortable with all the comforts of home. We are already discussing the timing of our return visit. I would highly recommend this cabin. Rod

Family vacation

Overall the cabin is just fine. We truly did have a good time. From the looks of the pictures I thought it would be a bit more private. There are actually cabins on both sides and are fairly close. I could see the neighbors in the windows and they of course could see us. Not exactly the privacy I wanted but perhaps that is partially my fault for not checking. The washer was just plain dirty. I cleaned it the best I could before using it. And the smell was simply awful. Front load washer. The floors weren't very clean. There is not a lot of places to set suitcases except on the floor and no dressers or closets to hang clothes. The pool is nice but the deck area was pretty dirty. The hot tub was nice but you are responsible for the chemicals, which was fine, but I could not get the chlorine level to read correctly. Frustrating. Would I stay again, probably not because I like my privacy. The other things do not actually make or break a place so I would say it is an average place to stay.

Nice location and amenities

The location was is a nice place. Our trip was intentionally in between summer and ski season. It was in great condition. The entire community, minus a few cabins, are rentals. The rec center is a nice bonus for larger groups. Deadwood is definitely geared towards tourists. Lots of gaming and souvenirs type places. To get away from tourists type attractions we took some easy trips around SD. You can go lots of places within 60 minutes. I struggle to find the right words. We enjoyed our stay, but there was something off. Our past stays at rentals we find notes/instructions that say "please enjoy your stay". Here notes said "Do this or you will be fine $xx. The hot tub, the grill. Clean and Fill up the hot tub or be fined. If it's dirty, you will fined. If you damage the cover,, you will be fined.. Use the hose to fill it, with no place to hook up the hose. Clean the grill or be fined. Very sterile. It made us feel that no matter how tidy and neat we left it, we would be fined for something. This was our impression. Others may not feel that way. The one item we did not find until the last day was the guest book. It was under things in a drawer. That is something as travelers we like to read first to get ideas for our stay in a new town. It only had 2 entries in it. Really nothing bad to say except it didn't feel that welcoming. But I'm sure the rental company can fix that easily. If you are heading here, highly suggest you write all codes down. We relied on the email on our phone, but had no cell service. We drove into town get better signal, grab the codes and then went back. Once the weather cleared up, we had better cell service on the deck. Views are great. Have a hotntub soak with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise and the deer graze. Enjoy a wood fire as the sun retires for the day. Enjoy the absem

Cozy cabin

We loved our stay! We were looking for a cozy cabin in the Black Hills and this fit that perfectly. Easy check in and check out process. Only thing is we should’ve brought a flashlight since we arrived at night and had some difficulty figuring out which cabin was ours. The hot tub and fireplace were highlights for sure! Thank you!

Excellent COVID getaway

This was a great getaway after being cooped up with the COVID situation. The basement was a great place for the kids to go and have their own space with the tv and Wii! And the adults could get a little quiet time upstairs or in the hot tub on the deck, we also sat on front porch which was very peaceful. There is no tv in main livingroom which we didnt seem to mind, we built a fire and had adult time. We were very close to clubhouse so the kids could walk to pool! Overall a great stay!

This cabin was absolutely beautiful. We had 11 people in our group and it worked well for us. The layout of the kitchen was pretty small and there was no TV in the main living room. Hot tub was great and there is a TV on the deck, but very tiny. We had a couple of things that needed to be fixed and someone came the very same day to help us.
