'MOUNTAIN CREST' -ONE OF A KIND, SECLUDED, HAND-HEWN, INCREDIBLE VIEWS

We thought this cabin was wonderful! If you are looking for seclusion this is the place! We loved the wood burning stove and peacefulness of the area. Bob and Lynn were knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming! We also enjoyed the adventure of traveling up and down the mountain. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and we loved that the cabin had games available to play. The only surprise we had at arrival was that there is little privacy in either bedroom, the main bedroom has no door (only a drape across doorway) and like stated in the description the other bedroom is in the loft. This was so big deal for us but other couples may want to be aware of that. WE LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this cabin, we will definitely come back again!
Also, if you are looking for a great place to eat while visiting go to Lewie's in Lead...AMAZING burgers! The cabin was close to Spearfish where there is a Walmart and any other store you would need for groceries. Thank you again for a great stay!

My girlfriend and I decided to take a trip and have a getaway for my birthday and that is exactly what we did!!! First of all I have to say that the pictures here on the internet do not even come close to the AMAZING beauty this place has to offer. If you like to be secluded and have complete nature surrounding you, than this is the place for you. Bob and Lynn, the caretakers of the cabin met us with the most warming and sincere welcome and made everything so easy! They were very informative about the area with things to do, where to shop etc. They were GREAT!! The cabin was modern but yet gave you the cabin feel, which is what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, it would be fantastic for family get together's, friend's to come and hang out and of course romance. We are already talking about when we can come back to Mountain Crest and enjoy it once again. Thank you to Tom for letting us have this wonderful experience and of course a thank you to Bob and Lynn for everything they did. We made many memories and are looking forward to make more in the future.
Sincerely Jeff and Sierra

Wonderful stay, will definitely return! The owner was very easy to work with and very professional and friendly. The caretakers were extremely nice and helpful. The cabin was very clean upon arrival and was equipped with everything we needed! Fully equipped kitchen, extra bedding, ironing board, games, laundry detergent, extra towels, garbage bags, wood for the wood burning stove, even sleds for the beautiful snow. Absolutely gorgeous view of Spearfish, the property was private and serene. Great hiking, snow shoeing, and sledding all around. You do need a four wheel drive vehicle in the winter, we had our truck thankfully- the minivan never would have made it! We traveled to Deadwood for dinner at Jakes (in The Morning Star) for New Years Eve and it was expensive, but excellent. We did the majority of cooking in the cabin and it was comfortable and convenient. We loved the wood burning stove, and the comfortable and large living area. The weather was crisp and cold, mostly sunny and we enjoyed a couple bonfires outside too, even one while it was snowing! An unexpected blizzard kept us there an extra night and both the caretakers and owner were concerned and helpful. The owner was prompt at returning our deposit and was excited we had a a great stay. It truly was a magical vacation, made even more so by the best part of all . . . a marriage proposal on a snowy, sparkling hillside!! We are so lucky to have had such a picturesque location for such an important day. We come to the Hills often and will definitely be staying here again, we would love to see it in the Summer, Spring, and Fall too!
