Great views! Very clean!

Layout is great for 2-3 couples. Home had everything you could need & was very clean. The view is calming & gorgeous. Centrally located; you could head north one day and south the next and catch all the main attractions. Needles highway was our favorite. Enjoy!

We enjoyed our stay at the Bercher. The views were amazing as we had our morning coffee on the deck. At night we enjoyed sitting outside by the fire pit.

Cool mountain house

Super nice views and plenty of room. Since it is on a mountain/forest though some of the roads are steep and made of gravel - be prepared!

Great place

We so enjoyed our stay. Julie and Chuck were absolutely wonderful to work with. The Bercher was the perfect size for our family. The hot tub on the deck was fabulous and so was the view. We wish we had known how long it took to get up the mountain to the house, but we have no other complaints.

A wonderful place for a get away. We absolutely loved everything about it and can't wait to come here again. If you are looking for the Black Hills experience, this is it. One word of caution, you will need AWD or 4WD to access it. The driveway up to the house is quite steep.
