The spacious outdoor areas, sauna, and game room gave us plenty of options for fun family times. If we could give this more than five stars, we would! HIGHLY recommend!

Such a great stay in the Hills!

This was our first stay at Connie’s cabin, and we absolutely loved it! She was so helpful with answering questions before we arrived, and she was available if we needed anything during our stay. The location is perfect for riding UTV trails and hitting up all of the other Black Hills attractions. Hope to stay again someday!

Came here for a weekend away to ride our UTVs in the hills. The location was great and had adequate parking for our large trailer. Connie and Jeff were very pleasant and helpful with lots of suggestions for anything you can imagine in the area. The house is as-pictured and had a great place for the guys to hang out and watch movies every night. Loved the property and may make this place a part of our annual trip to the hills. The animals are fun, but beware of the rooster crowing in the morning :) Thanks, Connie and Jeff!

The eggs and Blackstone go great together. We're glad your family had a great birthday get away. We're sorry you felt we didn't communicate to a 5 star rating. We do try to keep all guests informed as much a possible about everything from detours, checking in, and we leave a quick easy short welcoming / check out note for everyone.

The property description and pictures don’t do it justice! Connie and Jeff are the best host(ess) we have experienced in years of renting through VRBO. Our granddaughter fell in love with the animals and the chance to feed them. Location in the Black Hills is convenient but quiet. Property is child friendly as well. Kitchen has all the equipment and utensils necessary for family meals. The home offers multiple spaces to spend time together or have some “me time.” Comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms. We can’t wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Connie Allen

Host profile image
We have lived in the hills for the last 16 years and have had to opportunity to enjoy the ammenties the area has to offer. We would now like to let others enjoy what the locals call "God's Country."

Why they chose this property

This is a great place to make some lasting family memories. From enjoying the outdoors on the trails, lake or the local attractions including Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Hwy just to name a few to a friendly game of pool and ending the day by relaxing by the outdoor propane firepit or star gazing in the hot tub.

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits of our property are the peaceful backyard with the covered deck that at times you can hear the coyotes yowling in a distance from, to the deer that frequent our 10 acres. The gameroom has several game options to satisify everyone's game choices. The large open kitchen makes cooking an ease, or plenty of deck room to grill outside on either the gas grill or 36 inch Blackstone under a covered deck. The barn is filled with a mini donkey, goats, chickens and cats. All friendly and love getting treats. The yard has enough room for everyone to run and play. The kids can hike right out the back gate while parents relax watching them from the covered deck, sitting around the fire pit or relaxing in the hot tub.
