ATV and hiking trip

7 of us enjoyed our stay. We 4-wheeled everyday and drove right off the property. It is so well located, you can go any direction and never ride them all. Host is great! Property is beautiful with amazing sunsets off the wrap around porch. We look forward to stay again!

Family vacation

We came for a family vacation from Wisconsin. The cabin was amazing. Set out about 30 min from the city which we didn’t mind at all. Quiet, clean, beautiful setting. The cabin had everything we needed. The WiFi was great as the cell signal was not available until getting back to Hill City. The hosts were super responsive to questions we had. Hot tub was amazing after a long day. Would totally come back.

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was a breeze and the property manager was very responsive with any questions we had. If you are looking for a place that allows you to be away from others, this is your place. Very peaceful and quiet. Just want the Dr. ordered for our family.

Wonderful relaxation

The house set in the middle of mostly pine trees provided much quietness and relaxation. The hot tub was perfect after our long days of hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking and dining supplies. The house was large enough that 8 adults were never in each other’s way. The only downside to our visit was that our destinations either to the various tourist areas or to the closest town for groceries took minimally 30 minutes, so one needs to plan accordingly. We would definitely book this house again!

Family vacation

We didnt get much time to just relax but it was great to be able to relax on the deck and watch the world go by. Breakfast and supper were easily prepared in the convenient kitchen, we served buffet style and enjoyed everyones company at the large dining room table :) The 4 cousins enjoyed being outside and even picked wild raspberries!. A big thank you to our hosts for offering such a wonderful home for our family to be together. We made a trip to Flag Mountain and did some geo caching. We love the Black Hills!!

Scenic View

We used the cabin for our family Christmas in the summer and had plenty of room for everyone. The layout was great and the view from the balcony was amazing. The only downfall in the house that I noticed was the bedrooms upstairs were a little small due to the slope of the roof. There was a little highway construction down the road which was out of their control. Very peaceful and secluded from a lot of people around. Very enjoyable!

The ‘lodge’ was perfect for our group of four women. Roomy, everything you need to prepare your meals and great proximity to all the major sites you’d want to see. We saved Badlands for the morning of our departure since it was more convenient to combine that bit of sightseeing with proximity to the airport. Our hosts were very accommodating with requests for outside card playing & lounging and binoculars for wildlife sightings. Check out the panoramic view from Flag Mountain viewable to the west. Bit of a rough road but our rent Chrysler Pacifica made it just fine (ATV better suited). The grill was easy to use and move from under the porch during an evening meal of grilled veggies and butterflied pork loin. Star gazing or enjoying an evening thunderstorm from the deck, hot tub (immaculate), or graveled drive were all part of the unique and magical experience this home and location offer.
View from Flag Mtn.
Grilled veggies and pork
Mount Rushmore (about 45-60 mins away)

Sunsets and evenings on the covered porch with family, while being ‘serenaded’ by coyotes and bugling elk was one of the highlights of the trip. The Jura espresso/coffee maker was an unexpected treat.
