LOVED our stay!

We can’t wait to come back and stay here again. It feels like you’re miles away from the city, but it’s really just down the hill. The cabin is beautiful and well decorated. Everything was very clean. Communication with the host was quick and always kind. Love that there is free on site laundry. My family and I are sooo looking forward to our next stay here!

Very nice stay. Beautiful time of year.

This was an anniversary getaway to visit the mineral springs spa. Accommodations had been recommended by a friend who stayed last year. Location is up a hill but easy to find. Accommodations as expected, beautiful small cabin with king size bed. Very comfortable with amenities as described. My only thoughts in giving a 5 star review would be the cost. This was off season-town very limited as to what is open. So the extra add on costs of taxes and cleaning fee made a 2 night stay $615 which is a lot then they ask you to do your own dishes and remove your trash-i know, standard for vrbo’s but it really makes you think, are these better than a hotel for that price? I know we will certainly be considering the ‘added on’ costs next time we decide to take a mini trip.by the way, The Mineral Springs spa was a great stop!

Great Couples Getaway

Quiet, clean accommodations. We are local (northern Black Hills) but needed a weekend away. We traveled the Needles Highway, soaked and ate at Moccasin Hot Springs (highly recommend both) and golfed the Hot Springs golf course- perfect weekend!

Perfect Winter Getaway

My husband and I brought our two kiddos, a teen and a tween, to visit family in Hot Springs. The weather delayed us a day, but the owner was helpful with road condition updates! The cabin was gorgeous. Every little detail was considered for our stay. It was chilly when we arrived, bit it warmed up quickly and we all snuggled in perfectly. This was the perfect space for evenings and we were able to spend our days enjoying Hot Springs and its local flair! We plan to return this summer and rent a teepee! What a fun location!!
