PERFECTION!!

Our very large family ..16 in all... spent a few days here after Christmas and LOVED every minute! The Lodge was beautifully decorated, so very clean and comfortable. It fit us perfectly. We enjoyed preparing our meals with ease in the lovely kitchen, playing games around the two dining room tables, sledding down the snowy hill in the backyard, and resting comfortably in our rooms. The Bunkhouse was great too!! Everything was perfect! We're already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Keaven for everything.

Awesome property to get old friends back together and enjoy the Black Hills - Crazy Horse Marathon Relay, biking the Mickelson, hiking trails, stories and problem-solving over home-cooked meals, and plenty of space to spread out and relax - inside and out! We will continue the tradition at TRL. Awesome kitchen update that makes mealtime even more enjoyable. Thanks again!

Great house in a wonderful location

We enjoyed our week long stay at Timber Ridge Lodge. It was the perfect setting and location to explore the Black Hills and Custer State Park. House was as stated and toally stocked with sopas, trash bags, dish and washer pods which made it easy for us. Lots of space to relax inside and out and enjoy the turkeys and deer grazing in yard in early evening. Host was responsive and very helpful. I would recommend this lodging to any family or group of friends.

Beautiful Property

Beautiful property. However, a few minor disappointments. No hot tub in master suite as advertised when we booked the property. I was given the wrong internet name/password and the TV didn't work. I contacted one of the owners and he advised me that he would reach out to the other owner b/c the tv and internet were in his name. The other owner called me the next afternoon and told me to let him know when I arrived back at the lodge. I did and never heard back from him, I sent both text message and voice message. The internet information that was sent to me just 2 days prior to arriving was incorrect, but the correct information was on a piece of paper that we found later. Also, there is a neighbor that likes to walk her 5 big dogs on the property every day, making themselves at home to crap in the yard/ walk around on the decks and even jump their wet selves into our vehicle (the door was open as we were getting things out of our vehicle). The neighbor never apologized for the dogs!!!

Great property & home, beds need to be replaced

We had a great trip to Hill city. The property and home are amazing 5 stars. So much space. Enjoyed the fire pit, stream and fresh air. So much fun and a central location to all the great attractions. The house has been remodeled looks great. I have to share the uncomfortable experience because of the impact. We were there a week. The beds All need to be replaced and have to give that part of the experience a 2 rating. My husband likes firm mattresses but couldn’t sleep in the master bedroom bed, slept on the single bed. In one room there were bricks under the bed which sank so the 5 year old slept there. My adult son is going to have to go to the chiropractor. We had 6 adults and 2 kids staying there a week. A good nights sleep would have made a huge difference. A suggestion would be to build a small shed and purchase some yard games so your guests can enjoy the beautiful yard. Lots of indoor games to enjoy.

Wonderful Black Hills Property

We joined two other families for an INCREDIBLE stay at this beautiful property. We had six adults, four teens and four elementary school aged children. We all felt we had enough space to spread out, relax and really enjoy ourselves. The decks around the main home are beautiful and the perfect place to have a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine to watch the sunset. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed to be able to make dinners at home together. And we REALLY appreciated all of the things provided with the home…soap at every sink, toilet paper, shampoo/body wash in the showers, MAKE UP REMOVERS—it was wonderful. There were also plenty of towels, extra blankets and large fans. The washer and dryer were so conveniently located by the bedrooms. The only suggestion we might have would be, the carpet in the main house and guest house needs to be replaced. It is pretty worn and dirty—a nice low-pile, high traffic would make this property absolutely perfect! But overall we all really loved our stay. We look forward to staying here again!

Perfect Family Getaway

The lodge accommodated our group of 19 perfectly. There was plenty of sleeping space and we always had hot water for all the showers taken. We loved ending our day of sight-seeing by playing volleyball, playing board games, and by sitting by the campfire eating smores. I would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

The Lodge was perfect for our family of 12, plenty of sleeping area as well as room to separate for a little downtime. We rented a Pontoon boat for one day and a UTV for 2 days, everyone had a blast (well worth the money). The only complaint is that the mattresses had seen better days.Would definitely stay again!

Our group of 17 (9 adults and 8 kids) had a great stay at Timber Ridge Lodge! Beautiful cabin and perfect location. We enjoyed watching the deer each morning and evening. We had plenty of room to gather for family meals. We enjoyed taking walks down the quiet gravel road. And we were just a short drive from all the local attractions.

Excellent property for enjoying the beauty of the Black Hills with access to biking and hiking on the Mickelson Trail, tourist-friendly Hill City, and the Crazy Horse Marathon.

Fall Colors

Hit a wonderful time when the leaves were turning (a good background for family photographs without leaving the property ). Centrally located so driving to Black Hills attractions is convenient and close enough to Hill City to get "necessities". Secluded enough to not have to constantly hover over younger ones and also were not affected by the busyness of the Buffalo Roundup or Hill City Oktoberfest going on at the same time. It is a nice place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Timber Ridge Lodge

We are a hard working group of friends who enjoy the Black Hills so much we wanted to own a little slice of heaven. We hope you enjoy the hills and our home as much as we do. Thank you for considering a stay at the Timber Ridge Lodge! Keaven, Dave and Teresa

Why they chose this property

Hill City is the place to be in the Black Hills. It is a thriving, eclectic community with easy access to all the attractions the Hills have to offer. We fell in love with Hill City and all it has to offer. You will too! Our property is located within 2 miles of downtown, yet you will feel miles from the hustle and bustle when you settle into an outdoor chair on the deck listening to the meandering creek and watching all the wildlife. This is a 7 + acre property sitting in a bowl with ridgelines surrounding you. A meadow stretches out to the south of the home. It is a real log home with character and feels like it belongs in this setting.
