Great Family Spot for a Black Hills Adventure

We loved this cabin in the hills as our home base for exploring the Black Hills and all the sites in the area! The loft was a great spot for our kids to have a space of their own. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Our hosts checked on a us and had great communication before and during our stay.

Vacationing and viewing the sights

The accommodations were great, everything was there that we needed and everything from checking through departure went smoothly. The log home atmosphere fits perfectly with the area and the site allows you to feel like you are living the experience of the environment. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Fantastic property

We had a wonderful time at this charming cabin. Everything was clean, new, functional, and cisually appealing. The beds were great! The best beds we've ever had in a hitel or short-term rental. Peaceful location, and the kids loved the little playground. We would love to come back again.

Cozy clean cabin!

This was the perfect home base for our adventures in Custer and Rapid City! Beautifully crafted log cabin. Super clean and fresh, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of room for 6, so the 4 of us spread out. Our two teen boys loved having the loft to themselves!

A must stay.

This cabin was perfect (and adorable and clean) for our family of four and was centrally located which allowed us to enjoy all the activities that we had planned to do while in the Black Hills. The hosts also were very good at making sure that we had everything that we needed. We will definitely stay here during our next trip to the Blackhills. Thanks Jude and Jen for the hospitality.

Wonderful cabin! Great location, scenic views, and comfortable beds!!

Everything felt clean and new. It was a great location that allowed us to see all the major sites in the beautiful Black Hills area. Beds were SO comfortable! Jen let us check in early once our room was ready and was responsive to questions. Our only minor “complaint” was we wish the stovetop was a little larger and a maybe a few more pans. We loved having the outdoor grill and it worked well. Overall, highly recommend. We loved our stay!!!

Cozy Cabin

This cabin was cozy and so comfortable. The beds and linens were amazing. Great sleep with windows open and the cool breeze. Kitchen nice and big for our coffee and breakfast. We ate dinners out. Powder House in Keystone and The 1885 Steakhouse & Saloon in Hill City had delicious steaks and salmon. Turtle Town had yummy chocolates! All attractions were close by. Jenn answered all my questions quickly.

Perfect location

We enjoyed the location of the cabin, most of our things to do were near by. The design of the cabin made it feel very spacious, it was exactly like the pictures. The wifi worked perfectly, no problems and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was tiny, but it worked for us! I would stay here again.
