Great cabin in a great location
Beautiful, clean cabin just south of Lead. A great location for both snowmobiling and ATVing. Highly recommend. The only drawback is that the driveway is too steep with too big of a dip to back in a 4 place trailer. We had to park the trailer at Recreational Springs, which is only a couple miles down the road so not a big deal.

Enjoyable Time
We enjoyed our time at Franklin’s tower, but want to be full disclosure, to hopefully provide improved experience for your future customers. The amount of snow was very helpful in having a good experience, as it allowed for plenty of time spent outside sledding with our kids. Prior to arriving, we were told there was a blender on site (key for a couple peoples’ breakfast needs). Upon arrival, when noticing there wasn’t a blender and that were multiple lamps with either no light bulbs or burnt out bulbs (considering the limited lighting, all bulbs are needed), we inquired. We were told that a blender and extra bulbs would be delivered the next day, but never showed. Additionally, I would recommend two things for communication with future prospective renters. 1) I don’t recall seeing much of anything in the VRBO listing about being able to access a community lodge with a heated pool. It’s a great asset and should be advertised. 2) As steep as the driveway and access roads are, it’s only fair to let prospective renters know that 4x4 is recommended for accessing, during winter conditions. Fortunately, we came prepared, because we’re pretty familiar with the region, but others may not be as fortunate. We spent a lot of time on the main level living area and would have really appreciated having a TV in that main level living space. I’d recommend cleaning the ceiling fan in the main living space. We certainly enjoyed our time, but have received equal or better value/service for less, in the recent past, in the Terry Peak area.

Very clean and cozy!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Tower property. We felt it was adequately supplied with what we needed to cook and stay there for the week. The entire house was very clean and well put together with fun decor. The hot tub was also very clean and easy to use. There was plenty of space for a large family or a couple of families to enjoy the property. Great views out the giant windows in the common space area. My only complaint is that the house number was hard to find, especially coming in after dark. I think putting them on the other side of the porch pillar would have been easier to find.

Beautiful area to stay
The Good The bad and The ugly. Good great place to stay well built facility very nicely stocked with amenities. Very nice to have the washer dryer and hot tub. Close to everything you can imagine you'd want to do. Great water pressure great hot water temperature. The bad the beds were very uncomfortable, the pillows were very flat, a number of light bulbs burned out, the weeds growing up in front of the steps and the downstairs door were very out of control. The ugly underneath the sofas, the carpets, and windows were very dirty and dusty, I tried to run the vacuum to clean some stuff up but the vacuum pumped more dust then it sucked up. A lot of the dishes were dirty required a good washing before use. The whole house could use a good deep cleaning.

Excellent place to stay.
Cabin was very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Check in and out was simple. Location was a simple drive to all of the touristy locations without being in the heart of a super busy town. Prairie grasses could stand to be cleaned up a little around the cabin, especially near the stairs. Also the cabin is a little hard to regulate a good temperature for those staying in the upper floor vs. those staying in the basement, but overall we would love to stay here again in the future.

Great house in the Black Hills
This house is perfect for two families. Plenty of kitchen items and great having a private hot tub. Only house suggestions would be more bath towels and curtains on the windows in the loft area. Great location for Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish Canyon. About a 1.5 hour drive to Mt. Rushmore and other attractions. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful house
We had 4 adults and 4 children staying for the weekend and it was wonderful. There were a few cleaning details like the fan and light fixtures were very dusty but it wasnnt a big deal to us. . Only thing I didn’t love was the master bed/bath upstairs. Very strange to only have a small powder room and not have a shower or closet with the master bedroom. Overall we had a great time and love the area! Every year we try out a new house on this loop!

Love the house and location!
Our stay was great here! Loved the location and the house had plenty of room for our group of 6 (could have definitely fit more). One small issue when we arrived - the basement queen bedroom didn't have any power. We had some people that knew how to check the breaker box and we switched a few light bulbs, but that is the only issue we had. We would definitely stay here again!
