We had an amazing stay. Check-in process was very easy. Everyone in our group was impressed with the clean and nice the house was. It is a little drive to get places, but the scenery is beautiful, and the seclusion is well worth it! Thanks for a great stay!

Nature lovers' paradise

The overall stay was great. The property is centrally located to a lot of area activities, but off the beaten path, which we loved. It is very clean and maintained, and it felt like home away from home. We would stay again if we were ever in the area.

Great stay for the family

The house and location are great, the only area that would be better is to have a kitchen better stocked with dishes and cooking pans/utensils.

The log cabin is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is surrounded by trees and very quiet and private. The property is centrally located to most Black Hills attractions.Note: the roads in this entire area are “hilly and curvy”, so it takes extra time to drive to the various attractions, but the views along the way are amazing!

We had a great stay here. It’s on gravel but they’re nicely maintained roads. It’s the perfect location to all the things we wanted to see. Custer’s Park, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more. The kids loved the ping pong table and the wildlife that came to feed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6.

Family Reunion

The property is stunning both in natural setting as well as construction. With the ability for short hikes on the property, playing games, reading books, or playing ping pong, the entire family had a great time. My wife was able to make multiple meals with the available utensils, pots, and pans. The central location is ideal for exploring the beauty of the Black Hills.

A gem in the woods

I’ll start with location, central, all of the point of interest are within a short distance. The area where the cabin is located is peaceful, very quiet and gorgeous. Cabin itself is beautiful, spacious, very comfortable, all you need for a great stay onsite. Very detailed, blends in perfectly with the theme of the area. Beds are really comfortable
