The views are ah-mazing! The Rapid City address threw us, as it’s definitely a little trip into the mountains - not rapid city proper. But we would come back 100%! Sunrises and sunsets with the most stunning view. This week was hot one- thankful for fans in the upstairs rooms. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The Kojak cabin was perfect for our family vacation. We had 8 adults. We enjoyed the spacious living room and large table to eat as a family. The hot tub was well used. We loved the mountain view and privacy. The host replied quickly to any concerns. Thank you for an Epic Vacation. Would recommend!

The property itself was wonderful with well stocked comfort, a very nice hot tub, and spectacular views. The driveway however was washed out with a gully, uneven, and seemed treacherous, Our all wheel drive truck barely made it back up and out the vertical and sharp turning driveway from the cabin. Subsequently we and my daughters family van parked 200 feet past the driveway entrance on a flat safe spot from then on. Carrying suitcases, the kids, food, and etc up and down that driveway was exhausting and really affected the overall trip.

Very nice place!

This property was so fun to stay. We had a total of 10 family guests and we all had a blast. The only downfall was actually the driveway, which was quite steep and awkward to enter and exit. Overall, an excellent place to spend a couple of nights in some beautiful country!

Great Mountain Stay!

We had a great stay in this mountain home that provided plenty of room for our family of 6. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware of many kinds, and the grill worked great. I wouldn’t want to try to enter the driveway in winter, but we had no issues during our stay in June. The host was very kind and we highly recommend.

Clean home. Driveway is not for weak of heart. Last turn is a killer. View is wonderful, sunrises are fabulous and area is very quiet. Location was great for our plans. Road work delays need some patience. Too many flies.

Great Getaway

We had such a great stay at this house, we wanted to get away from the noise for a few days and this allowed us to do just that. You can barely see any houses for miles, the views are amazing, the house was comfortable, everything was easy to use, Julie was great to deal with. The driveway can be a little nerve racking if you don't have experience driving in the mountains but it was no issue for us. Would highly recommend this place.

This is a fantastic location and home. Absolutely loved the views from both decks and at the top of the driveway. Very homey and even with 9 people, we had plenty of room. You are staying on top of a mountain and the driveway is steep. We had a wagoneer and suburban that managed fine with just enough room to turn around by the cabin. If you are a Jeeper and love trail riding, this is your place to stay! Highly recommend!

Beautiful View

Views were beautiful. Drive was steep as stated, but with skilled drivers no issues. House was well stocked. Easy communication - long drive up the hills as stated. The only thing is the hot tub wasn’t that clean and one kid ended up with hot tub rash - would be cautious of the hot tub even with showering before and after. We had an amazing time and would stay again!

Wow - what a view. The property is in good shape. Bathrooms do need updated- carpet in bath is a little disturbing The drive way is very difficult - if you are not a good driver, stay away. BUT.... The view is worth it! Overall a good experience .

Beautiful Property and View…if you can handle the driveway.

Property as described. Easy check in and communication. Absolutely gorgeous view during the day and evening. I definitely overlooked the description of the drive way. We drive a suburban and it’s a tight turn into the driveway and tight turning around. Would it dissuade us from renting the property again? Absolutely not, just know that pulling into the driveway takes some confidence taking your time.

Family Weekend

Enjoyed our stay. Drive up the mountain does take some time…15 to 20 minutes. So need to take that into consideration when you venture out. But the view is beautiful once you get there, especially from the master bedroom! Driveway is a little tricky, but we knew that beforehand and it was manageable for our three vehicles. Kitchen is very well stocked as well as the towels provided. There is a washer and dryer, but no detergent provided. All other cleaning supplies were available.

Insane View!

The people that mention the driveway aren't kidding. We didn't make it up there until after dark and that steep and narrow driveway was a little freaky in the dark, but it was doable. Getting out was more tedious than getting in. However, the view makes it totally worth it. The house is awesome. Lots of flies in the house, but for this time of year, that is understandable. The biggest disappointment for us was the Hot tub. It worked fine but it was pretty dirty. I notified the manager and was told that the green tinge is normal... a green defender? I've never seen a green tinge in clean water before, nor have I smelled clean water that stunk. We showered before we got in and had to shower the film off of us after as well. Anyway, we didn't let that ruin our time there and the view from the house is like something out of a movie. I would probably stay there again as long as I didn't have to pay extra for the hot tub. Kind of silly to put an extra charge for using the hot tub when it wasn't properly maintained.

The mountain view from the Kojak Mountain Retreat was absolutely breathtaking. From the dual balaconies, at tree top level, both wonderful early sunrises and stunningly beautiful sunsets. Our Edelweiss Mountain Lodging hosts were terrific. They answered questions and were helpful with needs, like providing space to park a side-by-side trailer, making sure there were enough table place settings for the group and checking to see that the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment for our needs. They also offered to let us check-in early if the house was availableThe home was lovely and offered three different levels for adults with children, teenagers and bedrooms on the main level for the elderly! Kojack Mountain Retreat is highly recommended.

The driveway was terrible. The top floor shower sprays on the floor. The bedroom upstairs had no curtains or blinds. The living room area has no curtains or blinds. The water downstairs is hot but the 2nd and 3rd floor are warm. The downstairs area utility room is not locked and can not be locked. The utility room can be easily accessible to children. The utility room is hazardous for children and should be locked. The upstairs is hot due to the air conditioning not reaching the top floor. The house was clean.
