Kitchen well stocked-able to make Thanksgiving meal successfully. Fireplace had wood available and was the perfect touch. Couch comfortable and good size for three people. Each bedroom had a box fan for sleeping-and the upstairs bedroom mattress on floor in the “closet” was the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. Hot tub hot, easy to park.

A great getaway tucked up in the black hills. We were in awe of how high up Terry Peak was. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area. The hot tub was a great bonus too since we got snow while we were there!
