Return guests are a great testament to what we provide families and friends, who want that unique/memorable vacation. A good reminder for everyone: Book early! I hate to have to tell an inquiry that we have nothing available on their chosen dates. If you type a date and we do not appear in the list, that means we are already booked. In order to have a good selection, search the location first. Then later put in a specific date if you are a bit flexible on dates.

Our stay at this magnificent log cabin was beyond our expectations. The owner has provided every thing you could possibly need. The bedrooms, common area, kitchen, multiple outdoor decks made our stay perfect. The log home was immaculate. It would be hard to find any place to top this. Robin was extremely easy to communicate any questions or needs. If you are thinking about visiting the Mt Rushmore area, this VBRO in Custer South Dakota should be your choice.

Thank you for your review. It is important for guests to know that our cabin offers privacy, quiet and the beauty of the forest without sacrificing convenient location. We also have 5g cell service which is important to know when in the Black Hills. Cell service will drop suddenly as you go exploring. Always bring a map
