Beautiful and comfortable!
This was a wonderful stay! It was very easy to get to and to check in. We got a great night sleep after a long day of traveling.
I love that it was pet, friendly, and beautiful surroundings.

The motels are great. Nice showers, Kurig coffee, clean beds, however the walls are very thin and I could hear everything the neighbors were doing or watching on TV.

This little cabin was so cute and perfect. We were able to book it last minute on our trip across the country. I would love to come back. We got to explore behind the cabin, it was beautiful!

Was a rustic , old cabin . although rustic the cabin had modern amenities and was more then adequate. The cabin was a lot larger then anticipated . Clean and comfortable. The owners where very nice and very accommodating.
Definitely worth checking out .

Had a room with double beds. Mattresses were terrible, pretty sure we were laying on the box spring. Property itself is very nice, rooms were clean and well lit.

Loved the outdoor space, we used the grill and enjoyed eating in the cover area outside with picnic tables. The room was clean and had good space. My only complaint was the bed was too firm.

Cute cabins
Comfortable bed. Clean. Would be nice to have a small table and chairs in the room. We stayed in #14 outlets by the bed were loose but did work for charging our phones. Would stay again Saw a deer close by in the morning ! Had to try a few times to get in. Finally tried the check mark before 4#’s

Comfortable, and Serene
Great experience at this clean and comfortable cabin. Our room was on the end of the cabin. Parking in front of our door was great and the option to sit outside on the chairs of the front porch was a nice bonus. Loved the smart tv. Air conditioning worked excellent. Great mini fridge. Large bathroom which was ultra clean and towels galore were provided. Would be glad to stay here again.

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.

We never saw or met anyone who worked there, but it wasn't necessary because of the excellent communication we received before checking in. We were provided with a phone number to text if we had any needs or questions and our text was returned promptly. We found the room spotlessly clean and in good condition. We especially enjoyed the front porch with the comfortable chairs where we could sit and watch the world go by with a backdrop of beautiful ponderosa pine trees. We recommend this place!

Fun cabin experience
What an amazing find! I've driven past so many times and was so excited to finally get to stay here. The hotel is right outside of downtown Lead and only 2 miles from Deadwood; parking in front of the cabin is guaranteed and the self check-in was perfect. I got an e-mail with the check-in information and a follow up text which was a pleseant surprise.
The room itself was comfortable and the ambiance was perfect. Will definitely be back.

Mixed
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.
