It was very dusty on the inside. Big dust bunnies sitting on the curtains and the bathroom was so tiny the shower leaked all the floor. The bed was on a frame too small for the mattress and so it liked to flip into the air when you sat on the end of it.

Thank you for your feedback. We he dust is embarrassing and will be cleaned up. I think the box spring wasn’t pushed up against the wall. I missed that. The shower is small, yes. That’s part of the cabin feel. Thanks again.

Cozy, Quiet cabins in the woods but close to town.
Very cozy and quiet. We loved the little cabin and wished we could have stayed 2 nights and taken advantage of the outdoor space. Nice picnic tables and sitting areas. My only complaint was the driveway entry was hard to see especially at night. The bed was soft and we sank into it...but I slept great! We stayed in the cowboy cabin.

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, the entrance isn’t all that obvious. I don’t own the property there so I can’t set up a proper sign.

You need to locate the sign down by the road closer to the road as it is behind some bushes and you have no clue where to turn in.

It is rather run down. Sadly I would not recommend this place for anyone taller than 5’8” tall as the beds are stuffed into the walls and the beds are like sleeping on a cement floor. The dead bugs in the dishes is not fun. I understand being in the mountains but they need to vacuum that out. I would recommend a two seat couch rather than two rundown chairs in the living area.
Stayed 1 night in May 2023
Response from Matt on May 23, 2023
I've considered a loveseat or larger couch in that cabin. It's a good idea. Bugs on the dishes? That's just not ok. I apologize for it and will make sure that doesn't happen again. I'm not sure what part of the cabin is run down. I'm 6'2" and slept in one of those queen beds for three months. I had to sleep diagonally but I was comfortable. Certainly more comfortable than concrete...which I've slept on.I hope you still had a great stay, if not in the cabin then the surrounding area. Maybe you got to see some deer while relaxing on the deck overlooking the Black Hills?

I didn't really like this property. First the name got us confused (there are many Bear Mountain Lodges) (they call themselves a resort - hardly that. Then the picture on their site seemed to imply that it was up in the mountains, (it was right in town) The cabin was very very tiny, literally 2 steps from the bed to the bathroom. The shower was also tiny. Finally there were beef calves and cows walking around - like loose next to our car. It would have been understandable if they had gotten out and the owner of the cows came to put them in. But we watched from our room and no one came, even when it got dark.Over all if it had been advertised properly we probably wouldn't have stayed.

Response from Matt on Oct 1, 2022
Are you sure you’re talking about my place? I don’t know where a Bear Mountain Lodge is, but that’s not the name on my establishment. And we’re not in town…we’re not even in city limits. If five minutes outside of town and 1/3 of a mile off the road is too close, I guess I get that. These are, in fact, cabins. I suppose there are large spacious cabins somewhere…but not here. On my site is a link called “What to Expect”…I’m not trying to misrepresent anything. On the contrary, I’m being honest about what this place is. The cows. Yes, they’re a nightmare and they’re not mine. Wyoming is a ‘fence out’ and open graze state, meaning, if you don’t want cows on your property, you get to foot the bill to keep them away. We put up an electric fence, but that hasn’t done the trick. We’re working to put a more permanent fence in place but it’s very expensive. We’ll get there. I’ve said this several times in my responses to reviews…get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns. I’ll talk honestly with you about this place…like, how the studio cabins are 199 square feet.

The only positive aspect of our stay was the accessibility to the places we wanted to visit. The term "resort" should not be applied. It is a kitchen that sleeps four. The coffee maker had used grounds from the previous occupant. No sink in the bathroom. The "sink" in the "kitchen" was barely usable and difficult to reach. We will not be back.

I encourage anyone reading this to know what you’re getting into. Look at the pictures, read the descriptions, and by all means, get in touch with me if you have ANY questions. My establishment is not defined by anyone’s preconceived notions. If you don’t know the definition of ‘resort’, you likely don’t know the definition of ‘cabin’. The most unfortunate part of this is that someone had a bad time on their vacation. It’s not because of what I offer (which has been here and been the same for ten years), but because of what was brought with…and I don’t mean the luggage. I won’t apologize for the sinks in my cabins. They’re not going to change. You, however, can choose to stay somewhere that fits your particular lifestyle. I honestly want people staying here to have a great time. I’m certain you’d like that as well. Thank you for your feedback. The negative is just as important as the positive. Full disclosure…I have three other cabins that are larger and have a dedicated bathroom sink with a galley kitchen. The used coffee grounds is unfortunate and I apologize for not having that cleaned up for you. Had you gotten in touch while you were here, I could have made that right and possibly upgraded you to one of the larger cabins.

This property did not meet my expectation at all. As soon as I opened the door, I was repelled by an odor from the room. I turned on the AC and kept the front door open, but it did not help. I could not stay there, so called management and said that we would find another property for the night.

I went into the cabin and didn’t smell anything but what pine smells like. I asked three other people to walk in and tell me what the smell was but they didn’t smell anything out of the ordinary. I use vinegar, peppermint, and a drop of lavender to clean the cabins. Maybe a sensitivity to one of those?

One of my favorite places.
I love this place. I stayed here last summer for a few nights with some family. This summer I stayed alone for a few nights as part of a larger trip. The cabin I stayed in was very clean and very comfortable. The overall resort is very quiet and well-maintained. This is one of my favorite places to stay for relaxation and I will certainly be back.

Perfect Cabin for our needs
This place was perfect for us on our family trip. Super clean, comfortable beds, good location. Communication and access to the cabin was easy. Read the fine print, though. If you don't take out the trash or wash dishes, you can be charged. But if something isn't working in the cabin (e.g., TV not working or no hot water, etc.), the owner has no obligations to fix them or offer any kind of full or partial refund. While this did not happen to us, it just doesn't seem right.

We absolutely loved staying here. We were just passing through so only stayed one night which was not enough. The property is beautiful, quiet and so relaxing. We spent all of our waking hours on the deck enjoying the atmosphere. Watching the horses up on the hill and all of the deer that wandered down was so relaxing. We had a great time being able to cook out own meals too. If you are one who appreciates the beauty of nature in its sights and sounds, this place is for you.
