A group of 5 of us stayed for a belated birthday trip. The cabin was beautiful and the surroundings were great. In the past staying in Lead, the cabins are so close together - like 2 or 3 yards minimum. The Cliffhanger was so so open and spacious. There were cabins in the vicinity but still a good distance away and then back deck had a beautiful view of the Black Hills. The hosts were responsive when I had to report a broken cutting board and were very polite about it. Would 100% stay again!

Wow, best veiw of the Black Hills valley! An amazing property and it's name "cliff hanger" is apt as it seemed like it had the best physical location in the development positioned on a very private point, resulting in a magnifienct westerly view of the unjulating valleys of the Black Hills. It's a new property and even more spacious than the pictures indicated (which was nice for a change). Kids? The Bunk room was a big hit with our grand kids age 6 and 8. I'll try to secure this property next time I come out.

Great home with plenty of space for our families. We came to the area for a ski trip at Terry Peak and loved how close the house was the ski lodge. We had 4 adults and 5 children in our group and there was ample room for everyone. We never felt cramped at all. The view from the hot tub was also amazing!
