This beautiful, cozy cabin is in an awesome location, close to all the best attractions in Rapid City! We brought our dog along, and there were plenty of trails nearby for walks. The backyard was perfect for her, too! The cabin was comfortable and charming, making it a wonderful place to relax and unwind. We even had deer visiting us right in front of the cabin, which made our stay extra special. We absolutely loved our time here!

Great location, Great facility, great hosts.At our age we found the beds a bit too firm. We went to Walmart and purchased a matress topper to ease the joint pains from the firmness. We left it there for others to enjoy if needed.Other than that this vrbo is highly recomended!!thank you!!

A great little cabin in a perfect location. The yard was great for my dog and it's close to a nice park with a lake. Short drive to Mt Rushmore and other sights. It's a great spot for a family or trip with another couple.

The house was so convenient to all the places we wanted to go. It had everything that we needed for our stay, including the fully fenced back yard for our 2 pups. The restaurant recommendations in the book on the fireplace were wonderful! We also took our pups across the street to the wooded pathway, and even had some nightly deer visitors!

Place was perfect especially for pets, nice location for traveling to the black hills, plenty of trails within walking distance. The only problem we had was we forgot to buy coffee so we used what was left by previous guests only to find it was decaf, beware the gold package coffee

This was a very comfortable place in a great location. The back yard was perfect for our small dog. It's close to a lot of great attractions including Mount Rushmore. We loved the way they decorated and made it feel like a small step back in time with a real western theme. We would stay there again. Quiet neighborhood.

Charming escape to the wild west. We visited with our kids and dog. Our kids loved the western elements throughout the home. The fenced in backyard was great. It was comfortable and clean. Trails and beautiful lake a block away. The hosts had great communication and were very accommodating. The location was also really convenient as a tourist homebase.
