JR's Hideaway- Secluded Cabin on 3.5 acres in Northern Black Hills

Overall this cabin was a good choice for us however it sleeps 14 and there was not enough utinsles for 10 of us. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes which wasn’t an issue for us as we are capable of washing them ourselves however the washer and dryer both smelt very musty. One of the rooms beds was very uneven annd had books supporting it. overall we enjoyed our stay just a few house keeping things that should be checked frequently to ensure happy visitors.

Amazing cabin and location! Would definitely stay here again!

We loved the location of this cabin. In the middle of the hills is just what our family wanted. The cabin needs more management care. There was unsafe conditions involved in our stay. Such as- rodents, electrical outlets not properly installed, unfinished projects within the cabin, we found black mold in several places. The dishwasher was broken and not working properly. Upstairs bathroom sink was 99% plugged, the shower was leaking through to the garage. When we first arrived we had found that no1 had been there to clean after the previous renters. We contacted the host and they offered to have the cleaner come the next day to clean, but we did not have clean bedding so we chose to do the cleaning ourselves. We spent the whole first evening of our stay cleaning the property/washing bedding & towels. There was 7 people helping do this after we had to go to town to purchase cleaning supplies.(Management says he will reimburse us this amount)

The cleaning and snow removal were very sub par. There were nails from trim hanging out. Outlet boxes were sticking out from the walls.

Was a great location. Close to attractions. Did a lot of day trips and was nice to come to the hills after a long day!

Beautiful home and area. The hosts were very quick to respond to all messages.

Couldn’t get the heat in the living room to work.

Pros:Spacious house. Close to everything. Cons: house is dirty and rundown. All bikes in shed were broken.

Booked a guys trip for trail riding and this was the perfect location. That being said, the pictures posted are not accurate. The cabin is fairly run down both inside and out, but it was clean. The pictures make it appear that the cabin has an open floor plan but definitely not the case. Since this was a guys trip we made due and it was fine, but if you are expecting a high end cabin then this isn’t it.

Great place for our family vacation. Just far enough out of town to enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods but close enough to Lead and Deadwood to go enjoy activities and food. The cabin could use some upgrades and a deep cleaning, but other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Location was perfect for what we wanted, we were about 1.5-2 hours in all directions from the major parks. The sleeping arrangements were nice for our 3 generational family with a bedroom on the main floor. The driveway getting up was fine for our SUV rental, but def be careful of the uneven/rocky road in a smaller vehicle! The deck was nice for watching deer and birds. This was a great stay for us! I will just add there was no hair dryer, only one laundry pod, and still pet hair on the rugs (which I expect a little being a pet friendly home, but this was a lot). We didn’t mind but just a warning for people who are allergic. My husband did also have to clean out the dishwasher and hot tub filters. I don’t want to complain because the cabin was great! That’s why this is still honestly a 5 star review, but I think the cleanliness could’ve been addressed a tad better. Check in and out process was super easy.

Was not warned that there was road closures, so it was tough to get there in a car. The location was peaceful. Water was brown and hot tub was pretty run down. House needed a deep cleaning. There was dirt and objects left from previous users. The grill and fire pit were pretty much unusable because the grill was rusted and the fire pit was grown up in weeds and poorly managed. We liked the tvs and furniture. Kitchen was nice, but needed a deep cleaning. Couple of the chairs in the dining room need to be fixed. Overall we had a pleasant experience.

Beautiful location and plenty of space for our family get together!

Overall out stay was great. We didn't get to take advantage of the awesome decks attached to the house, as we were mainly only there at night. But everything was as described and beds were comfortable. Owner warned us of an issue with the hot tub cover beforehand, so that was appreciated. The driveway is a little tight for long trailers, but it's good if not better than other places we've stayed. Overall great place to stay!

The house is not at all like the pictures showed. It needs a DEEP cleaning!! It was very well stocked and we did enjoy the wrap around deck and location

It was as advertised. Fire pit outside was a little run down and there were several areas that were dirty. The main areas were good however.

Three couples, plenty of room for all. Close to Deadwood for us to go to Wild Bill Days. Nice deck for morning sitting. Good communication with host. Worked out great! Even saw the local wildlife.

The check in was super simple with a keycode from the host. Once we arrived, it was rather cold (especially being in the mountains) and the living room was insanely hard to keep warm the whole week. There were my husband, our eight children and I staying at the cabin. Overall, there was plenty of room and a very comfortable stay! Sean (the host) was very easy to communicate. I would say, it would be nice to have hand soap in the bathrooms and kitchen (we bought our own) and more than one roll of paper towels available. The hot tub had a funky smell to it but it was relaxing after a long day exploring. The water itself (from any tap) is yellow-ish in color so we went through a ton of bottles and jugs of water. The deck has absolutely lovely views and the kids enjoyed exploring around the acreage. I would also list the fact that if you have a smaller car, you MAY have a lot of trouble getting to the cabin. We drive a Yukon and Silverado which definitely worked fine... anything else might be QUITE the iffy ride. Overall, the beds were nice, the deck was beautiful and the cabin worked for what we needed. It would have been nice to have some wood for the wood burner... we might have been much more comfortable in the living room. Thanks, for allowing us to stay at your cabin!

The place was as described, close to everything you need without being right in the heart of it. The hosts were gracious and communicative - we had an excellent family vacation here!

Great spot to hang in between our weekend adventures.

Enjoyed the property.

The host was easy contact and work with. The property was as advertised. Overall was a good experience!

The deck stairs are not to code and are difficult for those with mobility issues. There were a lot of

Main entrance was closed, house was very difficult and confusing to find having to take minimum maintenance roads until searching out alternative route. We had to shovel snow for a clear path to the front door. Kitchen and dishes were very dirty upon arrival. Pictures seemed outdated compared to current condition of the house.

The property was as advertised.

Very nice property. Beautiful location. Would stay there again

Great location, easy to talk to the owner, comfy beda, beautiful deck, everything you needed was there.

We were 5 bikers for the Sturgis Rally. Location was perfect, far enough away from the chaos but not too far. The amenities were very welcomed, laundry, kitchen, hot tub to warm up after riding. The huge deck was awesome for grilling, chilling & recapping the day's adventure. I would like to see a spaghetti pot, and teflon pan for eggs added to the assortment, as well as bath soap, and the hot water temp brought up a bit-downstairs bath had to be put to full heat for several minutes to have a descent shower. Lastly, as a word of caution for motorcycles, the driveway is downhill gravel with a sharp left through a washed out dip. Just keep your speed in check. None of this is a deal breaker, just ideas to improve an excellent Rally respite in the woods. I do hope it's available when next I return.

Plenty of space, adequate for our stay. Quiet and peaceful. Upstairs bedrooms were nice. Spent most of our time on the expansive wrap around deck. Access to the front deck was precarious, very steep steps. The property needs a deep cleaning and there is a lot of deferred maintenance.

We had a great stay. This rental was able to easily accommodate our larger family. Everything we needed was there and it was a great location to explore the Black Hills.

The location and property was perfect for what our family needed during our UTV trip
