Diamond in the Rough
Reviewed on 2024-12-02 by , Minot, ND United StatesA picture of the pantry would be beneficial, we wouldn’t have needed to bring extra cooking items as the kitchen had more than enough items. Great accommodation for a large family, great gathering spaces. Beautiful home away from home, thank you for thinking of everything!
Very nice

Group of 25 sxs trip
Reviewed on 2024-10-15 by , Rapid City, SD United StatesThe only cons were the flow of the kitchen design was really rough with a big group and lots of people cooking and cleaning. There should have been better flow and more trashes. I know this might not matter to everyone, but it definitely affected how we were able to use the kitchen.
The biggest con of this house was the fact that after a long day half of our group couldn’t get a warm/hot shower. We totally understood that we may have to stagger our showers with that many people but even after hours we couldn’t get the water to warm up. If your home accommodates that many people, the system should accommodate the same.
Overall, it was wonderful for our group. We would consider renting again!!
We do a sxs trip every fall in the hills with family and friends. We were so happy to have found this house to accommodate our large group of 25. We loved the large kitchen, dining room and living room space. The bedrooms were comfortable and nice layouts. The kids loved all the arcade and gaming in the basement and the adults loved gathering around the dining/ kitchen area. The pantry was a great asset with an extra fridge. Very good location and view. <br/>The only cons were the flow of the kitchen design was really rough with a big group and lots of people cooking and cleaning.

Big Group Fun
Reviewed on 2024-03-18 by Jesse W. , Harrisburg, SD USGreat house. Great location. Perfect for big groups. Bedrooms were full of comfy beds and plenty of extra blankets. Only complaint, not enough hot water for all guests. After skiing all day, everyone showers and too many cold showers towards the end.
Great place to stay with a large group!

Large Modern Home with space for everyone!
Reviewed on 2023-08-07 by Denette A. , Mansfield Center , CT United StatesThis vacation rental is in a great location with lots of activities nearby. The home is well kept with many beds so it can accommodate large groups. The neighborhood is very nice and the Community Center was great with two pools and a splash pad for all ages. There were many trails accessible from the grounds for UTVs. The communication was a bit lacking and I would have liked to have had the kitchen better supplied with cooking and storage essentials but overall we were able to make due and pick up what we needed. It was great for our family reunion.

Family * Wedding Stay

Best house to rent!!
Reviewed on 2022-10-11 by Stephanie M. , Wentworth , SD United StatesThis house was absolutely perfect! We had a group of 14 staying for 5 days. We had enough UTVs, gear, coolers, and food to match and we had plenty of space! When I say the homeowners have thought of everything, I mean it! An over the top stocked pantry and spice cabinet, dishes and silverware...absolutely amazing. The beds and bedding were superior. The views were stunning. You will want for nothing you may have forgotten when staying here. The ONLY 2 things, if I had to pick on something, was the lack of extra toilet tissue and not being able to adjust the thermostat upstairs. We have stayed in enough homes to realize we need to bring our own TP with and we could absolutely deal with the thermostat. Having 14 people with different temp preferences isn’t anything I would consider a con...just worth the mention. All in all, this house is absolutely worth every penny and we will be back!

Diamond In The Rough
Reviewed on 2022-09-25 by Alex R. , Sioux Falls, SD United StatesWe stayed here for my brother and sister-in-law’s combined Bach party. Everything from the reservation process to the property and the staff was amazing! We definitely will try to come back again soon! The only comment that we have is the hot tub didn’t have any chlorine in it, so it got very gross fast and we thought we did something wrong, but found it didn’t have the tabs to keep it maintained. Only complaint!

Stunning home with beautiful views
Reviewed on 2021-08-20 by , Bismarck, ND United StatesWe booked this vacation home to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. Our party included four couples and eleven children. The gathering areas were large and accommodating of groups. The living room had plenty of comfortable seating and the kitchen and dining area could seat us all. The work space in the kitchen was large enough for us to be able to prepare meals without getting in each other's way too much. The second fridge in the pantry was perfect for drinks. The downstairs was a hit with the kids. There was so much for them to do and room for them to spread out. The bedrooms and bathrooms were plentiful and slept us all comfortably. The mattresses were very comfortable. Getting ready in the mornings didn't take long because of all the showers available. We never had an issue with running out of hot water with our large group. The floor to ceiling windows offer stunning views of the hills. We had so many things we wanted to do and see in the hills, but it was always hard leaving the house. We would have been perfectly content relaxing with those views every day. The owners have obviously put a lot of care into making this house everything you look for in a vacation home. The only downside of our stay was that one of the bedrooms was warm at night and we tried opening the window to let in some cool air, but the window was broken and we were unable to close it again. Maintenance came the next day and got it closed for us, but we were unable to use the window for the rest of our stay. Also, this is the second home we have rented in Powder House Pass and neither house was very clean. Floors were sticky and the carpets didn't appear to have been vacuumed. I would like to see cleaning services improved. All in all, this house is amazing and we can't wait to come back.
Great property for all ages!
Reviewed on 2021-08-10 by Jamie M. , Corning , IA USDon't hesitate - you will love this property! We were very pleased with this home. It is suitable for an adult group or a group with families. We were very surprised how well equipped the kitchen amenities were! There wasn't anything we were lacking to find. The game room with the bar down stairs was fantastic. We really loved having 2 sets of washers and dryers. The extra garage space was a huge bonus for our group. The location is perfect with it being not too far from town. I would definitely recommend this property!
Awesome House
Reviewed on 2021-07-29 by Vickie H. , Gillette, WY USThis was an awesome house. We were supposed to have 21 people, but my son and his family didn't make it. So we ended up with 17. Plenty of room either way though. The Pantry was amazing and very nice as we brought all of our food and cooked at the house. Awesome kitchen. Was great to be able to drive ATV's off the property to trail ride. We also enjoyed the pool. It's great they are building another pool as the one there is pretty small and the area is building like crazy. Hopefully they keep both pools up and running. Beautiful. We would stay there again.

A fun comfortable house for a group of maturing kids at heart
Reviewed on 2020-10-01 by Patrick S. , Lyons, CO United StatesA group of 7 couples came together to to spend a week in the Black Hills. Some of us rode motorcycles, others enjoyed the Mickelson trail with bikes and walks. At the end of the days we would come back together and cook and play games in this wonderful house. Tons of space and enough bedrooms and bathrooms that allowed everyone decent alone space when needed. The large kitchen and 14 person dining table was a wonderful attribute of this house. The garage allowed us to park 6 motorcycles easily. We loved the privacy of the location and having access to the clubhouse with the pool. We would highly recommend this house for a large group of adults or multiple families.
