Great Home Base

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend - the location made it easy to access everything we wanted to see. It was a great home base for our weekend in between hikes and sights! Property was very clean and even though we were located next to other cabins we never felt like we didn't have privacy.

Great place to stay!

Everything about this place was amazing. It was clean and well laid out for a place to stay with three adults and three kids for a week. The hosts were easy to communicate with and provided great tips on where to go. Great location if you want to visit Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and the Black Hills National Forest.

Mt Rushmore Trip

This property was the ideal location for our first trip to the area. It is convenient to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Needles Highway, Spearfish, Deadwood and only an hour and a half from Devil’s Tower, WY. Cabin is spotless and very well done, and Jenn is great about checking on you without being intrusive. We highly recommend it!

Great Location and Clean!

We couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location that made it easy to access all the things we wanted to see. The cabin was very clean and the perfect space for our family of 5. We had great communication from the host before and during the stay to make sure we were happy. I would definitely recommend!

Quick trip with all the things!

We loved our stay! The cabin is immaculately clean and the beds were so comfortable. It's located perfectly for a trip to Mount Rushmore and a ride on the 1880 train. The owners were so responsive and even had our cabin ready a little before check in! They also gave us the recommendation for the Rushmore Cave and Adventure Park which the kids in our group absolutely loved! Would definitely book again!

Perfect location

This little cabin was absolutely perfect for us. Very clean and the right amount of space, the upstairs loft was perfect for our kids ages 20 and 15 and the king bed downstairs for my husband and I. We had plenty of towels, toilet paper and kitchen supplies. I appreciated Jennifer checking on us to see if we needed anything during our stay.It was the perfect location based on all the places we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cabin

This was our first family trip to South Dakota. We took our 3 kids - 10, 7, and 4. There was plenty of space to sleep. We enjoyed the outside deck to relax. The beds were so comfortable!!!! I loved how close it was to all the sights. We would definitely come again!

Cozy, well designed cabin

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. The bathroom and kitchen are well appointed, the beds are very comfortable, the space is clean. The owners were nothing but helpful and a lovely family to work with! We highly recommend this cabin (or any of the other 4 they own) to anyone travelling to the Black Hills. It's quiet and a fantastic location to easily reach all the sites from Mount Rushmore, to Jewel or Wind Cave to the Badlands to Deadwood!

Great South Dakota Vacation

Cabin was great. Laid out very well. Very comfortable beds which is rare for most cabins. Conveniently located for everywhere we planned to go see. The only recommendation is for a second TV to be located in the loft area. Not everyone likes to watch the same shows. LOL. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

A gem in the Blackhills

Wonderful cabin with a great location! We enjoyed every moment of our stay, and we had all we needed to make ourselves at home. We spent our days exploring all the Blackhills has to offer and loved returning home each night to relax. The cabin is clean, modern and comfortable. There was plenty of space for our family of five. It was well stocked for us to enjoy our dinners in while planning our next day’s adventures. Thank you for a great stay!

Cute, Quiet, and Convenient

Excellent experience renting this cabin! We came to the area needing a break from the stresses of life. The price was good for what you get. For a small cabin, it's super spacious and airy. The 3 beds are super comfortable and the linens were lovely. The road to get to the cabins is a little tight, but worth the short trek. Once you get up the hill there are 4 cabins that are strategic in placement to give privacy. A small kitchen and an outdoor grill made prepping food easy. Only concern is the internet. In this remote area it is hard to come by. They have limited wifi so that is nice to stay connected. Streaming is not allowed with the remote data. All in all we had an excellent time and will look to stay here again when back in the area.
