This cabin was the perfect set up for our 4 generation gathering. The kitchen was stocked perfectly for cooking and things were easy to find. There was plenty space for everyone to gather together. The deck was a favorite place: beautiful sunrises, deer and turkey wandering each day.

We had a wonderful stay. The starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods and laundry detergent) were not stocked as listed, but walmart is close by. Really the lack of tp was the only immediate issue. House and location were wonderful and the daily wildlife visits were our favorite.

Wonderful stay in South Dakota

The location of this home was perfect for exploring nearby Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Bear Den, Storybook Island and so much more! Each day we saw deer and wild turkeys in the yard. One evening on the deck we experienced a beautiful full and bright double rainbow. The home was very clean and perfect for our 3 generation vacation.

Loved the peaceful, hillside location - peaceful and beautiful with wonderful wildlife visitors (sheep, deer, and turkeys). House is accommodating with great amenities. Great location allows easy access to all main South Dakota attractions.

We enjoyed this lovely home in a residential neighborhood. We spent a great deal of time on the deck enjoying the beautiful weather, the fall colors, and the plethora of wildlife in the area. This home is also within driving distance of many interesting venues in the Black Hills area.You can rest assured that you will have a great vacation if you book this home.

Perfect for Our Trip

The house was a wonderful location, within 15 minutes to an hour from everything that we wanted to do (Bear Country, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer Park, Deadwood, Jewel Cave). It was also pretty close to downtown Rapid City. The house had all the amenities we needed, with tons of outdoor seating for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening… there is even the cutest waterfall. During our stay, we saw TONS of turkey, bunnies, and deer outside the house.

Prime location with beautiful views

We had three generations, seven people total, stay and it was a terrific experience. Communication was excellent and the home was very clean. The kitchen provided all of our needs for cooking. The location is prime for touring the northern and southern Black Hills. The view is spectacular and the patio furniture was an extra bonus for soaking up the beauty while enjoying our meals outdoors.
