We had a great stay at this cabin. It is a very clean cabin. The host was very responsive and seemed to really care that we had what we needed to have a pleasant stay in their cabin. We were there to take our jeeps and utvs off roading, this cabin was located in the perfect location for that!

The property is on a winding dirt road, tucked a couple miles into the black hills. It was quiet and comfortable, great for a getaway. The house was just right for 2 families (2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, a bedroom plus murphy bed and bathroom downstairs). The kitchen was well equipped with cookware, dishes, silverware, coffee pot and even some spices. There are even some board games and puzzles available, and moveis. The host replied very quickly to a question we had about the grill. The outside deck made for comfortable lounging and meals. There are cows that roam, which we enjoyed seeing and hearing. As well as wild turkeys. There is laundry onsite which can be helpful. We had a great trip!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful getaway and that the home was a comfortable fit for both families. It sounds like you really enjoyed the peaceful Black Hills setting—and we love hearing that the cows and wild turkeys added to the experience! We’re glad you found everything you needed in the kitchen, enjoyed the games and puzzles, and had a chance to relax and enjoy some meals out on the deck. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate how well you cared for the home. We hope you’ll come back and stay with us again the next time you’re looking for a quiet Black Hills escape. You’ll always be welcome!

My fiance and 5 of our children (ranging in age from 19 to 5) stayed at this beautiful Cabin during our Black Hills vacation. The Cabin slept all 7 of us comfortably and could have easily accommodated more! The location was perfect! It was quietly nestled in the woods, creating a serene and peaceful place to stay! The neighborhood is very close to numerous trail access points for ATV riding (which i highly recommend). The Cabin was very clean and accommodating. It came equipped with most anything one may need during a stay(aside from groceries of course). Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay all the way around! It's very apparent that this Cabin is loved and cared for and we are very appreciative we were able to share in it's beauty!

My wife and I and our 4 children stayed a week. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed as far as laundry, cooking, cleaning, and 2 full bathrooms. All if us loved the mountain cabin decor and the wraparound deck with large gas grill. We cooked on the grill almost everyday and used the oven for my daughter's birthday cake. The kitchen had all the utensils nescasarry to make all this happen without a fuss. The kids loved the card and board games available in the laundry room. The 3 bedrooms were more than adequate and spacious for our needs and the lower level has a couch that pulls out and is very comfortable as well as a bed that pulls down from the wall that looks like a cabinet. Once you fold it down it even has LED lights on the headboard that are dimmable. My wife and I had two sedans and had no trouble with the dirt road to the cabin. There was plenty of parking below the driveway that we did not use since both our sedans fit nicely in the driveway. We chose this location because it was in the middle of all the places we wanted to see in the black hills. This was a bucket list trip for us and the tranquil, peacefull location was perfect for us. The stars at night from the deck were amazing. There is WIFI, but we didn't use it for much more than Netflix at night since the kids enjoyed sacking out in the living room with the decor making it so cozy. We would stay again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family for such a special bucket-list trip. We are thrilled that the cabin served as the perfect central base for your Black Hills adventures and that you felt right at home. Hearing that your daughter celebrated her birthday here makes us so happy, and we are glad the kitchen and grill had everything you needed to make it a fuss-free celebration! We also love that the kids enjoyed the board games and that everyone got a great night's sleep with the extra pull-out and Murphy bed setups. You are welcome back anytime for another peaceful getaway under the stars!

The house was perfect for our family. It was very clean and had everything that you can need. Plenty of room for our 3 couples and two kids. Nice patio to sit out on for your morning coffee. We also saw a doe and a turkey with her babies. Hearing a turkey gobble in the morning was so neat. The cabin is also close to the swimming area and great hiking trails. Communication with the owners was wonderful, really appreciated the quick response. We loved our stay at the cabin!!!
