We had an amazing time at this property! It was clean, comfortable, and remote without being too far removed from the Custer amenities. The view from the back porch was stunning and just what we needed to relax at the end of our daily adventures :) We definitely recommend and would stay again if we travel to the area again!

This cabin was stunning! Rich in western presentation and atmosphere. Nicely located near all the main attractions of the area, yet profoundly peaceful full of fresh air, animals, and incredible night star viewing. Paula and I will be going back at some point.

Peaceful and relaxing hideaway next to National Forrest Land, not far from Custer State Park. Loved seeing all the wildlife everyday and night. Deer and Turkey abundant. The house is charming country with similar decor as my log cabin in Colorado. Has all the comforts of home Even heated floors and a fireplace. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, abundant wildlife, and cozy comforts of the home. Heated floors and the fireplace truly make it extra special. We look forward to hosting you again! 😊
We had a couple of days in the Black Hills enjoying the many breath-taking sights of the area. However, the best part of this stay were the fine accomodations....simply wonderful! We had as many as 12 deer roaming in the back yard area the first night, so wonderful to see.
This house and surrounding area are fantastic and would certainly recommend this place and would be my choice for another visit to the area. Thank you J&J Hospitality!!

Thank you for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review! We look forward to hosting you again.
We had a wonderful stay here while we explored the black hills. The hosts and property were 5 stats all around…great communication and information from the hosts, and the accomodations were exceptional. The house is gorgeous. My wife said its the best and her favorite place we’ve ever stayed. I loved sitting on the porch and watching the deer and turkeys in the valley. So fun. Thanks again!
