Badlands Frontier Cabins

Badlands Frontier Cabins

8/10 Good
"Overall, the cabin was very nice and we would recommend them. But there were improvements that needed to be made. The fans were filthy so we didn't use them nor did we ask for them to be cleaned because we didn't want anyone in the cabin while we were gone. The small refridgerator needed to be defrosted and there was no door on the tiny freezer. There was no toaster so we toasted our bread by frying it in a pan. A toaster oven would have been very useful. A dish towel would have been nice. The furniture arrangement didn't allow for easy television veiwing. That could easily be remedied. The 2nd TV did not have the same options as the one in the kitchen area so watchig from bed was not available. The beds themselves were very comfortable but getting in them required some acrobatics because they were very high off the floor. I had to propel myself by using the wooden rail on the other bed. The air conditioner filter was filthy and we cleaned it. However, despite these complaints, we found the cabin to be comfortable and convenient. We just feel there could be some improvements to make them excellent."

"The house was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. The air conditioner was especially appreciated as it got warm while we were there. It was great to come back to a nice cool house. The front porch does need to be replaced. The kitchen is sparsely furnished and really needs some mixing bowls. The bathroom really needs a better light over the vanity - it was a little dark for shaving."
