Such a cute cozy cabin with amazing views! Particularly loved the quick access to the trail and the stream that winded through and watching the deer from the deck. Had everything we needed for a nice long weekend.

Loved the location! Close to all major tourist attractions in the Black Hills. So welcoming, comfy, and beautiful scenery. My family and I absolutely loved staying here. Must try Moonlight Gulch Saloon right down the hill too, delicious burgers and fries! Thank you for everything!!

Remote getaway

Quaint family cabin with a beautiful view in a remote location. We did a lot of site seeing so it was a bit of a drive to get back to the cabin but if you have time for the scenic drive it’s definitely worth the trip.

Beautiful clean property near many fun adventures! No service or WiFi should be made more clear to future renters as we had no clue coming, but fortunately we had so much to do other places we didn’t need it!

Trip with Grandsons

We spent a few days in the black hills and loved the cabin! Every night we went to sleep with the sound of the stream and in the morning enjoyed the stream again with our coffee on the deck. The cabin was centrally located for everything to see and do on our list. Easy check in and check out, everything we needed to prepare meals, no complaints. We’d stay again!

Great time of the year

The last week of September was a great time to be in the Black Hills, leaves were changing and not much for crowds. This cabin is very centrally located to the many attractions in the area and we enjoyed the evenings at “home”. Around 6pm each evening one of the neighbors feeds the deer, the Moonshine Gulch Saloon is a fun place with very friendly folks. We enjoyed this trip very much!

Return guests

This is our second stay here. We love the view and the cabin is cozy. Our only complaint s are the ceiling fan in the living/dining room doesn't work and whoever had stayed there before us didn't wash the dishes very well. We washed most, if not all the dishes before we used them. We enjoyed seeing the deer including a couple babies.Even with those couple of issues, we would stay there again.

Beautiful hideaway

We fell in love with the cabin and the views. It was so peaceful and cozy. It was a perfect spot to recharge after our days of exploring the hills. Having my coffee on the deck while watching the sun rise and the deer graze was a favorite time of day for me. Our boys enjoyed the nearby walking trail and were so excited about the area that they did not once complain about not having internet. My husband and I hope to come back for our anniversary.

Peaceful stay

We enjoyed a peaceful stay. The cabin is comfortable and clean. There is no wifi, internet, cable or land line. Important if you need to conduct business or do research. Lots of travel brochures and maps were available in the cabin. The deer were right outside the cabin every day. This cabin is dead center of the black hills which allows access to every tourist destination.

Good

The cabin was great. Could use a few little changes like shower curtain made shower very dark and upstairs room had no curtains or blinds so it was very bright in the bedroom in the morning.

Black Hills Adventure

Chose the cabin for location, and peace and quiet. Now, the lack of WiFi and cell service wasn’t necessarily the biggest plus, we were not looking to be “off the grid”! The community of Rochford was amazing!! Very welcoming and helpful (alternate routes due to construction on 385.for example). A light above the staircase would be nice, but the full moon helped. Bottled water very nice touch.

A break from life

The deeper you get into the hills, the more it gets ahold of you. Sitting on the deck on a fall morning drinking a cup of coffee while listening to the creek flow and watching deer play is the way life should be. No internet, and no cell phones makes this place even better!
