Beautiful location, clean and just lovely!

We loved this beautiful home in the heart of the Black Hills! It was picturesque, centrally located to the activities we planned and just lovely. It was very clean and provided us with more than enough space to spend time together but not in top of each other!

Roomy cabin with all the amenities

Plenty of space for my wife and I along with our two 21 and 22 year old kids. We especially enjoyed the jacuzzi. With three levels, we had plenty of space and two bathrooms proved vital. Full kitchen was great so we didn’t have to eat out if we wanted to save some money. Location was also nice. We were about an hour and a half of most things we wanted to do - Devils Tower, Rushmore, and many hiking trails.

Wonderful house

Awesome Home Away from Home

There were a few things left behind by (cleaning staff or previous guest?) other then that the home was very nice and clean. There were old school games to play, ping pong and darts kept the family entertained. The cabin was very convenient to Terry Peak lifts. I would recommend and definitely stay again 😁

Love the location

The house was great for our size family. We were UTV riding and it was fantastic having a garage. Biggest disappointment was our hot tub not working. My family was bummed. Our vacation rep was aware ahead of time and never told us. That stunk. I would try a different house next time.

The cabin was perfectly arranged for our Son and grandson having their own space from us and kitchen was well stocked. Super close to Terry Peak where they spent most of their time. There is a weird whistling sound in the mechanical room coming from the hot water heater we think and it is loud enough to wake you up in the night. Overall everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay! Also the game room and hot tub was a bonus!!!

Good vacation home.

We loved the location and the parking was perfect. We had two trucks with 24” trailers, one car and 4 side by sides (utvs). Everything fit perfectly. Quiet safe neighborhood. We would stay again!

The rental was centrally located for our planned sightseeing. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was. And a pleasant surprise to see that the counter height table and chairs in the dining area had been replaced with a traditional table and seating. The house was very clean and the beds were all very comfortable. We would definitely stay at Lost Buffalo Lodge again.

Lost Buffalo Lodge

Here’s a quick, positive post you could use: --- We just wrapped up an amazing stay at the cabin last week, and I can’t say enough about how relaxing and peaceful it was! The views were breathtaking, the air was fresh, and every morning started with coffee on the porch listening to nature. The cabin had everything we needed—cozy, clean, and perfectly tucked away for some much-needed downtime. Already counting the days until we can go back!

Amazing

My family, and I had a amazing time at the cabin. It had everything you would need. It had a lot of space for everyone. Enjoyed the out side jacuzzi. It was about 1 hour from mt. Rushmore, not a bad drive.

Great place, lots of fees with Vacasa

Our stay was great. The fees charged in addition to the nightly rate were outrageous. Over $1,000. Not super happy about that.

Cozy mountain escape

The house was wonderfully furnished with plenty of beds, linens, extra blankets, fans (thank you!!!), as well as spices and coffee and tea options— simply wonderful. The home is cared for well & is comfortable for large families. The area, at least when we stayed in May, was very quiet and private. There were a couple of constructive feedback items we have regarding cleanliness — 1) The garbage can in the garage had several alcohol containers left in it. Easy enough to dispose of before new guests arrive 2) There were beer cans strewn about the lawn next to the hot tub from previous guests. 3) The sponge used to clean the kitchen had black residue on it & was left on the counter. Easy enough to get a new one or rinse out the sponge for future use. We had several small children & my mother, who is a recovering alcoholic with us, & all the leftover alcohol-related items were off putting & distasteful. Overall, however, it was perfect for our needs & more than accommodating. Beautiful home nestled in the Black Hills.
