Great spot close to everything the black hills has to offer. 3 miles of gravel takes you to a perfect cabin away from anything busy. Super quiet spot to hangout and enjoy dinners on the deck. The only negative about our stay(and its not the cabins fault) is that the main road that runs in between hill city/keystone area up to deadwood (hwy 385) is going through a major construction project. To get anywhere south of the cabin is a lengthy detour. Definitely added a lot of car time to the trip we weren’t planning on. That being said, fantastic place to spend during your vacation.

A group of ten ladies stayed and had a wonderful time. Cabin is in a very quiet area. Cabin’s kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pans, microwave, coffee pot, stove and dishes. Washer and dryer available. Two bathrooms, with a very small one being upstairs. Can’t be too tall to use the upstairs shower. :) if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of town- this is your place.

Peace and comfort

Our family of adults and teens all enjoyed this peaceful and comfortable cabin. The beds are comfortable, and the space was cozy and great for conversation while allowing room for everyone to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in our hammocks just outside. It’s close to both Pactola and Sheridan lakes, so our fishermen stayed busy. Everything about our stay went smoothly and we would easily go again.

Loved the location and the property was clean. Inside was a little dark, maybe more overhead lights. Would maybe suggest another couple fans as it got hot upstairs. Overall would stay there again.

Black Hills Cabin

Great cabin. Very quiet, clean and convenient to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and Deadwood snowmobile trails. This was an amazing cabin in a great location with easy access to all the Black Hills National Forest must-see sites. The cabin was clean and well supplied with plenty of space for our group of 6. Great host with a great response time. Thank you for our stay!

Black Hills Family Get Away

“Highly recommend this lovely cabin! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the owner- very clear and easy check-in and check-out information. The cabin location is in the center of the Black Hills National Forest and was perfect for our needs and where we planned to go each day. Wi-Fi was excellent. We hope to stay again!”

Very nice out of the way cabin

We very much enjoyed staying here. It is a bit out of the way, but the roads are well maintained. If you want your vacation to include some quiet relaxation this is a great choice. If you like being in the middle of the action maybe not. The cabin is rustic enough to feel like a cabin but modern enough to be comfortable.

Family vacay

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Close to all the tourist things, although a bit of a drive up the mountain. The kids liked all having their own bed (family of 7). We liked being in the woods. The kids loved the coffee fuse-ball table. Washer and dryer looked brand new and worked great.
