We loved our stay at this cabin near Rapid City! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. The location is peaceful but still close to all the major attractions—just 40 minutes to Mt. Rushmore and about an hour to Deadwood. The hot tub was amazing after long days of exploring. Plenty of space for kids, and our dog felt right at home too. Perfect place for a family getaway!

Great Stay!

This property is in the perfect location for everything there is to do in the Black Hills! Check-in was super easy and the house had everything we needed. We were out and about most of our trip, but when we were at the cabin, we did thoroughly enjoy the views that the property had to offer.

Great location in the hills

The house was retro (re: dated) but the location by the Black Hills and Pactola Lake kept us busy. The real gem was the hot tub overlooking the hills.
