The cabin was clean, kitchen stocked and bed comfy. The location was great very close to all the area attractions. WiFi was a bit spotty but if it hadn’t rained we wouldn’t have been in the cabin long enough to notice. Highly recommend.

Our cabin was amazing. It was the perfect size for a cozy family vacation. My husband and I were in one bedroom, my 14 and 9 year old took the 2nd bedroom, and the 16 year old chose the pull out couch. All the beds including the pull out were super comfortable. I appreciated the cozy, fluffy comforters in the cold. The kitchen was a small cabin kitchen but I was still able to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal with the pans they provided. It was so clean and better than advertised. Even though it was cold my kids still went out to the playground and basketball court. We will be back!

The cabin was very nice. I appreciated all the lawn area and the basketball hoop. We arrived at 12AM and they had the lights on for us. Unfortunately we didn't realize this and thought it must not be our cabin so would have been nice to know they were doing this. Cabin was a little smaller than I expected but it was very comfortable and clean. I loved the front porch, the quiet and the train!
The train traveling out of Keystone. We enjoyed seeing it and it was never noisey.

Family getaway

Great quiet location, and an exceptionally clean cabin! Family of 4 with two 13 year olds, and we fit perfect! The cabin and amenities were as described. The host also has UTV rentals right next store, so we rented one, and it was one of the highlights of our stay.

We had a great experience at American Pines. It was a bit cramped in the cabin with six people in our group, which we expected,, but there was lots of room outside for the kids to run around and play. The surroundings were beautiful and the location was perfect...so close to all the popular attractions. The cabin had everything we needed...AC, comfortable beds, gas grill, dishes and full size refrigerator. Thank you so much!

Peaceful cozy stay

My family and I were very pleased with our cozy cabin stay. The cabin itself was welcoming and very well maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the trees and we're happy to see a playground for our younger kiddos to burn off some energy. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodations and would happily stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Becki Groven

Host profile image
We are a small family owned & operated business specializing in offering personal, friendly service. We own a cabin rental business as well as a ATV rental business in the area because we want to be able to be home when our 3 boys get off the bus, we want to be able to play & work together, & we want to raise our children with strong ethics which included hard work & playing in the great outdoors!! Our love for God, country, & family is why we do what we do & at the heart of our business. We've been blessed to call the Black Hills home & would love to share it with you. We'd love to have you stay with us, JAROD, BECKI, AUSTIN, CODY & KYLE

Why they chose this property

Becki's family is originally from Keystone. She has relatives that helped pioneer the town as well as help carve Mt. Rushmore. Jarod's family is from Wall & Kadoka, South Dakota, the Badlands area. Beside Mt. Rushmore being the National Monument, Keystone is full of living history of the miner era that once made the town thrive. The Black Hills is also full of geological history & a favorite for rock hunters, which we are, & rock climbers, which we aren't:). The small hometown atmosphere of the Black Hills as well as the many diverse sites & attractions makes this the perfect place to make memories for a lifetime, again & again.

What makes this property unique

Renting an ATV/UTV to explore the back country, hiking right out the front door, driving through the Pigtail Bridges, making S'mores over an open fire, playing tag with the kids in the backyard, 5 minutes to Mt. Rushmore, cliff-jumping at Horsethief Lake, looking through unique shops in nearby towns, going on a cave tour, laying on the grass & looking up at the stars, rock collecting, fishing at Lakota Lake, swimming at Little Falls, horseback riding or seeing buffalo in Custer State Park, playing at the city park in Keystone, participating in small town parades & events, enjoying being together with our family.
