We enjoyed our stay on this cabin. It had everything we needed for our stay including a small kitchen. It’s a quiet setting and we saw deer every day we were there. Canyon Lake is close by for walks and for enjoying. I’d definitely stay here again!

Loved the peace and quiet of the campground/cottages! The staff was helpful and pleasant and they even provided laundry detergent by the scoop so we didn’t have to buy a lot. The surrounding property and walking opportunities were great! It was a little far from Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands, though.

You get what you pay for

Found hair on the towels right away. Cabin smells, had to use our car air fresher to mask the smells. Smoke/carbon monoxide started to beep every 3 minutes on our last two days. Won't be staying there again.

We are very sorry that you were disappointed in your stay. In the future, it would be to your advantage to bring any shortcomings or maintenance issues to the attention of the management immediately. We would certainly have made every attempt to correct the situation even if it necessitated moving to a different unit.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Nelson

Host profile image
Sherry and I grew up in Western South Dakota. We have enjoyed sharing the rich heritage of the Black Hills with friends and family our entire lives. Helping families create lasting vacation memories is now our goal.

Why they chose this property

Since we have lived on the property for the last 33 years, we can say that it is the ideal location to experience the wide variety that the Black Hills area has to offer. All the conveniences of the City with a country feel. Plenty of other units if you are traveling with friends.

What makes this property unique

Lots of grass, huge trees, shade, and the abundance of birds and wildlife make this property feel like the great outdoors, yet we are only 4 miles from downtown Rapid City.
