Awesome property, great for big groups. If it was paved all the way in (about a mile & a half of gravel road) it would be an out of the park home run. Only because we were on motorcycles, cars it would be excellent

This is our second time staying in this house/cabin. It was very clean. Everything was convenient and in good working order. The deck is amazing. Beautiful view, quiet and private. We took our ATVs. IT is so close to so many trails and only a few miles to Nemo for gas. We will be coming back again next year.

Wonderful Experience

This property was great. There were 15 in our group and there was plenty of space. We had 7 grandchildren with us so the bunk bed area worked so well. Property was well stocked, lots of towels which was great!!! Area was beautiful and located close enough to all the attractions. Would absolutely recommend a stay!!

Beautiful property

This property was amazing!! We rode UTVs for a few days and the trails start at the end of the driveway. Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. Jessica is so easy to work with. This property was perfect for adults and kids. We will definitely want to come back and continue riding more of the trails!!

Family Vacation

The location of the property is perfect. It is quiet and relaxing yet not really a far drive to other places. Close to trails for sxs. Enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the meadow and watching the deer. The lodge is as advertised and has everything you need. The family had a great time and the grandkids enjoyed the sandbox and large yard to run around. I would highly recommend Rusty Meadow Lodge

Awesome Quiet Getaway Place

The property is awesome for all ages including the group of 16 of my family that stayed over July 4th. The site is just off the main roads enough to allow for enjoying the serenity of the hills but close enough to area attractions and towns for those in our group that adventured out to do tourist type things. The bunkhouse for the 8 grandkids was AWESOME!! Giving them time away from adults for plating cards, games or watching tv. The cabin came stocked with plenty of towels, bedding etc as well as being stocked with all kitchen items we needed! I would highly recommend this cabin for families or groups as a hidden oasis!

Great place! We are definitely returning. You can’t go wrong with this one

Just finished our stay at the house and all I can say is that it’s definitely one to stay at. The location is just a little ways off the road and provides a very quiet atmosphere. Sitting on the deck in the evening and watching the deer out in the field with a fire going is very relaxing. A very large elk walked across the field in the late afternoon and made for some great photos. Fire pit is perfect! Everything was! The communication with Jessica was very good. We enjoyed everything and are planning to return next year.

Family get away

We had our whole family get together and this place was big enough for all of us.The Kids loved the bunk room, adults that got stuck in there didn’t like the giggling, LOL. It was a nice location, we didn’t drive over an hour to anything. The road there was good. The cabin is secluded and in just such beautiful area. The deer visited us every evening. We all agreed that we would stay there again. We saved lots of money cooking there and never ate out. The kitchen is pretty well set up, a decent grill and amazing firepit area and a propane fire on the deck was used every day. If you have a big group it is perfect place to stay!

Family Vacation

Property was as advertised. Sometimes pictures are taken so well that the actual look is not the same. That was NOT the case with this property. There was plenty of room for all the kids. It was nice to hang out in the large yard. Bunk Beds were an absolute hit with the kids. There were nice little touches like games and toys for they young ones. One thing to keep in mind if you are a city family like ours, 20 miles in the hills and mountains is not the same as 20 miles on a highway or interstate. So going on adventures was a bit of a drive but the scenery made it worth it and the trips back gave time for the kids to rest, nap and rest for the evening activites. I would highly reccomend this property for you next family vacation!

You Will NOT Regret Your Stay - Book Now

The house and property were absolutely amazing and beautiful. The craftsmanship of the home and the work the owners put into it can be seen in every nook. The property itself is gorgeous. We enjoyed using the spotting scope and binoculars out on the deck. It's remote which was exactly what we wanted for our family get away. Plus enough space for us - 7 adults, 2 kids and 2 toddlers - to all be together without being crammed. We felt at home the second we walked in the door and it was so hard to leave. The owners have thought of everything you might need when staying plus a welcome gift. As stated, we enjoyed the quiet property. It's remote but close enough where you're not missing out on the must-see spots of the Black Hills and being stuck in the car all day (within an hour and a half of main attractions). I would absolutely book this property again in a heartbeat. This is the 3rd time we've visited the Black Hills in the last 5 years and this is by far the best place we've stayed.
