We enjoyed our stay so much! Cabin was clean and comfy. The cabin was so comfortable and spacious for our family of 5 to relax in each evening after a day of sight seeing. We seen deer and chipmunks each evening while sitting on the porch.

Mattresses could have been better. Cleaning better.
This rental was perfect for our family! We had 3 adults, and really enjoyed relaxing here after our days of exploring the beauty and wonders of South Dakota. The cabin is very homey and comfortable. We loved our stay.
Great location and perfect for our group of 4 adults exploring South Dakota. Peaceful and quiet with amazing views. Cabin was clean and new with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
The property was off the beaten trail, but very convenient to Custer State Park, Wind Cave NP, and the towns nearby. There was plenty of room for 5 adults, we made full use of the kitchen and laundry facilities, and overall enjoyed having a nice place to stay between adventures. Would stay here again if it fit our travel plans.
This is a beautiful- out of the way but still close to so much place! Had everything we needed and didn't want to leave! Wildlife all around and so peaceful! Had a small bonfire one evening fixing hotdogs and s'mores with the wood they left us and roasting sticks available! Had several family game nights too - choosing our favorites from the nice assortment of games they provided! (Check in the cabinet above the fridge ) along with a basket in the living room :) An awesome grill available to cook your favorites too! So much available with this house and we truly enjoyed every day we were there! We went sightseeing every day and it was nice to come back to such a great place! Thank you! Pics attached are from the peaceful porch we enjoyed every morning and evening!

Thank you very much for your kind words. We're so glad the peaceful surroundings and amenities helped make your stay memorable and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.
Great location for hunting. Close to Custer and day trips to Keystone and Hill City. Located in a quiet country neighborhood. The cabin itself was very clean and everything was in working order and up to date. Can see wildlife while sitting on the deck. Thumbs up!
The home’s rustic charm is complemented by modern amenities, offering a perfect blend of comfort and authenticity. The wide front porch greets you with panoramic views of rolling hills and vast, open skies.
We overall had a really great stay. There were games available to play, views (especially at night) were amazing. Only complaint would be that there was a hole in the wall by the shower head that had visible mold around it. Also would have been nice to have a couple supplies like paper towels available.
Overall nice space and enjoyed our time there.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great privacy. During our 3-day stay we saw or heard only 3 vehicles. A cautious doe and her very young twin fawns passed by on two occasions about 50 feet from the cabin. Located halfway between Custer and Hot Springs made it very easy to see attractions in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.
Cabin on the rocks was the perfect home away from home for our family! We were very comfortable in the living spaces and the beds. It was really nice to have laundry available and a full kitchen to make and prep meals each day!
