Lovely vacation home

This cabin was perfectly situated between Hill City, Custer, and Keystone. It was clean and comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, and the owners were great to work with. The kids loved the family of deer that visited each day and the expansive yard to play in. It was a fantastic place to stay for our family of five!

Sweet Cabin!

The cabin was excellent! One of the best maintained rentals we have ever stayed in. Well stocked kitchen. Great location. Very quiet and dark at night. We spent most of the day visiting Custer, Rushmore, and all the sights and coming back to the cabin was a lovely retreat. Highly recommend.

Lovely cabin, too close to a busy highway. No real place to gaze at the stars, no fire pit.

Nice cabin, check in was easy. Owner was kind and made check in a breeze. I wish there was a fire pit or patio to sit out under the stars. The only noise was the highway, other wise a quiet grouping of home. The cabin was clean and had everything you would need, but the bathroom sink didn't drain well.

Great Location!

Beautiful, clean, comfy home that came stocked with the essentials you need like trash bags, dish soap, and many other little things that we appreciated. We also loved sitting on the front porch, having a few drinks after a long day of hiking, biking, ATVing, and visiting the historical landmarks. This cabin is secluded, but not too far off the beaten path. You have neighbors, but the front yard faces nothing but nature. Just a quick drive into Hill City for groceries, restaurants and shops. (Note: Must stop by the Alpine Inn for dinner. 9oz fillet minot, baked potato, Texas toast & salad wedge for under $14. )
