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.

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.

Beautiful, spacious, comfortable
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The space is beautiful, and we loved the levels of the home. The home had everything we needed and we felt comfortable. The only hiccup was the pool and the outdoor pool area needed to be cleaned. The pool had clumps of hair in it, there were tons of bugs, and the pool net was broken and had a t-shirt wrapped around it. I contacted management and the let me know the club house was separate from the house we stayed at but that they would try and contact someone. I never heard back. This was not a big deal because our focus was not the pool for this trip. I did want to make mention of this however because if a pool is advertised as a highlight it should be properly taken care of. Especially when pine pollen is so prevalent. Thank you for a great stay!

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.

Beautiful place
Beautiful place and very clean. Just a few things that were a nuisance, but can be fixed. Be prepared to bring your own fire wood if you want a fire in the fireplace (inside and out) Location: would be better if neighbors weren’t so close. Condition: the tv in the living room was broken, the hand held shower fell on my mother’s head a couple of times it would not stay in the mount. The bed in the guest room on second floor (same floor as kitchen) had a huge dip in the middle. My mom and dad slept terrible the whole visit. The door on the deck would not close, or latch easily, we had to almost slam it to get it to stay shut. Guest services: quick to respond during hours of operation, but a little jaded that there was no firewood when the place boasts about 2 fireplaces but does not provide the firewood. When we texted about it, they said they would bring someone out to drop off firewood, but never did, so i texted where is the best place to get firewood and they texted back we could get firewood in town at a grocery store or gas station. We were surprised it was not provided and a little upset we had to shell out money for firewood. Other than that, the place was beautiful and we had a decent stay there.

Beautiful house
This is a beautiful house. With three floors, there is plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is very nice and had everything we needed. As others have mentioned, there are a lot of steps up to the front door. We found it easier to take our stuff in through the side door on the kitchen level. We were there in fall and rode our bikes to the Mickelson Trail. Looks like it is near skiing for winter. Would definitely stay there again if ever in the area.

Lovely property.....alot of stairs, absolutely loved the outdoor fireplace. Best supplied kitchen we have ever had with our Vrbo rentals. Only downside, owner showed up twice to load cars into his garage, causing us to jockey our cars to accommodate him. it was also kind of weird that this cabin neighborhood had its own rental association that we also had to deal with. Have only dealt with Vrbo, not an additional agency.

We had a family wedding that was canceled last minute. We decided to make the trip regardless for a quick family get together. I would not recommend if someone in your party would need assistance as there are a lot of stairs. If you are sensitive to noise I would also recommend earplugs as you can hear about everything. NOW that stated the house was very clean and accessible. Plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was perfect to put together large meals.

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.
