We had a great time at this cabin. We had 16 people across 4 families staying and all had plenty of space. The cabin is close to so many things to do and only an hour to Mt. Rushmore/Keystone/Hill City. We loved it and will definitely be back someday.

We had an excellent stay at whitetail lodge, it comfortably fit our group of 14 with room to spare. We enjoyed the spacious patio and the hot tub. Close to town and easy access to other area attractions. Would highly recommend this property for a larger group!

This property is in a great location to enjoy hiking, fishing etc. that is on offer in the Black Hills. The property itself is very spacious with a great outdoor area. It is big enough that larger groups can split and have areas to themselves, or all hang out together and play pool. We extended our stay while we were there and it was very easy to call and get the extra day added on. We all really enjoyed our time there and would not hesitate to stay again when we are in the area again.

We stayed for 4 nights to celebrate the Easter weekend and loved all that this cabin offered our family. It was spacious with several areas to hang out and also cozy enough for everyone to sit around the table and play games. Great location too! The only reason I gave it a 4 was because it wasn’t as clean as I anticipated for the price. The blinds were dusty, and the carpet is old. It didn’t bother us at all, and we would definitely come here again.

The rental was very nice. Could have used another bathroom. The location was good, but the noise from the highway and all the 4-wheelers was not good.

This lodge was amazing. You are minutes from Lead and Deadwood, just few miles from Cheyenne Crossing and Spearfish Canyon and on the back side of the ski resorts! If you are into road cycling, it a great starting point for a loop through Lead, Deadwood and Spearfish Canyon. It slept 13 of us perfectly, but there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out, too, and not feel like we were on top of one another. And the best part was the kitchen for us. It seats 12 so we could all dine together! The wrap around deck was enjoyed immensely as we watched the kids play in the backyard. The inside was great, the pool table and foosball table are quality and fun to play on. The stairs within are not too steep to climb. Fans are provided if you need white noise or to bring in the cool air of summer nights. We will be sure to book this lodge the next time the whole family comes back to the Northern Black Hills.

The cabin is as advertised but could use a deep clean and some basic maintenance. Two of the ceiling fans are so poorly mounted that they wobble to the point of looking like they will fly off their mounts. There's two clothes washers and two dryers but one of each doesn't work, with no sign indicating which ones do work. The hot tub water needed to be changed as there was dirt and a bandaid floating in the bottom. The windows are getting old and can fall out of their sashes. My 76-year-old mother was hit in the head late at night by the bathroom window as she was trying to close it. Had some poor communication with the property management company, Deadwood Connections. The listing said no wifi but when I checked someone replied there was wifi (unfortunately we needed to be online for work). When I got the check-in information a few days before our booking it stated "no wifi" so I asked again and this time the answer was that there has never been wifi at this cabin and the previous response was an error. It's an understandable mix up or mistake and we were credited $200 for the issue but the next response of, "just hotspot from your phone" was less than helpful. There is only 1-2 bars of service with Verizon at this location and we would have had to drive into town for our online meetings except my brother luckily had a verizon hotspot that got slightly better signal once we found a good location for it high up in the house. Still... overall a great place.

The location was perfect! We were central to everything we wanted to do and super close to deadwood! The house was perfect for large groups with kids! Plenty of space and separate areas for the kids.

This was the perfect family get together! The kitchen became the family game area while the basement was great for the younger crowd. We hadn't been together in one place in over 8 years so it was awesome! We celebrated an early Christmas together and made magical memories that we will treasure forever!

We had a wonderful stay at the Whitetail Lodge. It is quiet and peaceful and there is something for everyone to do. There is so much to see in the surrounding area. We love the Blackhills!

We were a little disappointed with some things
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022

Overall our stay was ok. Sharing the good and not so good --- in our opinion. The pool table, foosball table and hot tub were enjoyed. Hot tub could use some maintenance as only half the jets were working and none of the lights were working while we were there. Not a big deal but there is very little space around the hot tub for anyone to sit and visit with others while in the hot tub. The deck was a great place to hang out but there was LOTS of loud 4-wheelers / side-by-sides in the area during our stay which was quite annoying. The kitchen was pretty well equipped but no cooking sheet to use and the coffee pot was VERY slow. There was only 9 real forks to use which was not a big problem but not even one a piece for the amount of persons they allow to stay at one time. Also a note to "not use the dishwasher as it leaks" was on the counter when we got there --- which put a damper on our time as we had to do dishes several times --- even when we used paper plates to eat from. The bedrooms were ok. We all like harder beds than they provide but ok. The loft was a great place for some of the kids but it is not private at all. The location was nice as close to lots of visitor destinations --- but also very close to main road so some noise from that. The cleaning person you text when you leave was not updated and got ahold of a person that no longer works for this management company so had to contact them directly --- which was not a bit deal but shouldn't have happened. Although we all survived without WiFi --- it would be a great addition to this property. Also know that the phone service is very poor here --- as it is in most of the HIlls area. Not a lot of towels for the amount of persons they allow to stay at the cabin. The only grass area on one side of the cabin was a bit uneven and slanted -- the kids had a great time playing catch, etc. Overall the experience was ok but we would not use it again for OUR family gathering.
