Black Hills family vacation

Stayed 5 nights with 15 persons total (ages 54 to 1). Facility has lots of space and is equipped nicely. We noted a couple items needing to be addressed and host was quick to reply and send someone to look at. Parking is a little tougher if you drive a larger vehicle but is manageable (we parked 4 vehicles there). Clubhouse and pool was nice.

Beautiful home- Great stay!

This house was beautiful! It was so grand driving up to it, but it does have lots of stairs. Home was clean, neighborhood was quiet and it was the perfect getaway home!

nice house but too many ateps

Beautiful home, but too many steps. We had my 85 year old mother along, and fortunately she was able to maneuver the steps, but only once per day. Also, in the upstairs master the bathroom and the stairs are right next to each other, and one night my husband thought he was going into the bathroom and fell down the first 4 steps. You should have a pocket door to block off the stairs at night, and also for privacy.

Weekend with Family

8 adult couples celebrated our mom’s 70th birthday and our parents 50th wedding anniversary. 4 from ND and 4 from CO it was the perfect halfway meeting point. The house was the perfect size and great location to local attractions.

We really enjoyed our stay at this very clean VRBO! Our family was celebrating my sister's 4oth birthday and there was plenty of room for all of us! There is a lot of steps... but other than that we loved this place!

Great Cabin in the Hills

The cabin is huge and very well kept, and has all the amenities you could need for even an extended stay. Kids enjoyed themselves immensely with a good selection of games (as well as TVs in every room). Beds are numerous and comfortable. The neighborhood is great, and the clubhouse top notch. Convenient location just outside of Lead and right next to excellent hiking, the Gilded Buffalo is a great base of operations for an exciting vacation in the Black Hills.

Gilded Buffalo

Home is as advertised. Beautiful setting, modern accommodations quiet and peaceful. Gorgeous fireplaces inside and out. Plenty of room for everyone, we ended up having 9 people (6 adults and 3 kids) Can't wait to come back with our Side x Side to hit the trails. Plenty of restaurants but the kitchen was very nice and the weber grill was great. Only one drawback not a complaint but my wife and I are getting up there and there are many stairs to climb.

Awesome Stay...Awesome Property Managment

Amazing home. Beautifully designed. Couldn't get enough of the decks. Plenty of room to spread out. Also, the property manager, Deadwood Connections, was great to work with. Special shout-out to Keri, who was extremely helpful. We miss the house...and the Hills...already.

Great base for family vacation in Black Hills

Family vacation with kids and grandkids. Plenty of space for 9 adults and 4 little kids. They played on the decks like it was a ship. Enjoyed fires inside and out. Plenty of steps, but was only a challenge for grandma and grandpa. Saw deer and turkeys in backyard. Short drive to Lead and Deadwood. Loved our stay and the property.
