The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Our family of eight enjoyed being together and there was plenty of room. It is close to Pactola Lake where we spent Father's Day with a picnic and playing in the water. Easy to come back and bbq steaks for dinner. Great vacation!

The house was perfect for our family. It was very clean and had everything that you can need. Plenty of room for our 3 couples and two kids. Nice patio to sit out on for your morning coffee. We also saw a doe and a turkey with her babies. Hearing a turkey gobble in the morning was so neat. The cabin is also close to the swimming area and great hiking trails. Communication with the owners was wonderful, really appreciated the quick response. We loved our stay at the cabin!!!

Such a lovely cabin way up in the Black Hills! We really enjoyed our stay here with our family of 6 - plenty of room, very quiet & clean, fit all of our needs and was just as described. Definitely check out the top of the road (host describes how to get there in the binder) - you'll get a stunning view of the area. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabin with us! Just a side note for Aug 2025 - there's a major construction project going on on Hwy 385 and sections of it are closed, causing you to have to take long detours on gravel roads and wait for pilot cars to guide you at times. This probably doubled our drive time every day going to the major attraction areas like Rushmore/Keystone & Custer. No fault of the cabin of course, just so you can plan accordingly if you're visiting during construction :)

Great few days away

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was clean and well stock with everything we needed. Definitely stop for groceries before you arrive, as it is quite a trek to the nearest store. We were a little unprepared for the more out of the way location, but it did lend itself to quiet relaxing evenings after a busy day of sightseeing. Would recommend and stay again.

Very nice cabin in the Black Hills

Three of my family members and I stayed in this spacious cabin situated in a beautiful location. The cabin was clean and well equipped. Check in and check out was no problem. The host was responsive to the one question that I had. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a quiet location in the woods that is conveniently located near the things to see in the Black Hills.
