Heart of the Black Hills

This was a great house for our family of 10. The location made it centrally located in the heart of the Black Hills. We loved it was tucked away in the forest.

Great location for a family gathering

Really great place! The house is really amazing. Plenty of space for the whole family. It's quiet and conveniently located for exploring the surrounding area. The lake is super close. We have had several rentals in this area over the years, and this is one of the best in my opinion.

Fantastic family vacation

What a perfect place to stay!! Even with the Sturgis motorcycle rally going on, we had a beautiful, peaceful place to stay and make wonderful family memories. The boys loved the fishing and the girls loved petting the animals. The house was so well stocked with dishes, cookware, towels, etc. to take care of a large group. Exceptional hosts!!!

We had 12 adults and 3 kids, spacious and enough room at the kitchen table to all play games. This is a beautiful and peaceful area to stay. The owners thought of everything. There was beach towels, games chairs, picnic tables, coffee and other condiments, well stocked. The rooms were clean and nice. The house was beautiful and spotless. We'll definitely be planning on staying here again.

A Beautiful Mountain Home

This was an amazing place to stay. There was nothing we needed, or wanted, that wasn't there. Plenty of towels and bedding. The kitchen had everything we needed...it even had paper products, like plates and paper towels for our use. And hot chocolate packets! It was just perfect for our whole family, and we hope to stay there again!
