The kitchen has almost everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable. There seemed to be a lot of dead or dying flies lying around. The blinds didn’t seem to have any cords to shut them so we had to open and close the drapes each day. The TV was disappointing because we couldn’t access any of the various streaming channels. The deadbolt door was very difficult to open and close because the door seems to be offset. Not sure we would stay there again.

Lovely vacation home

This cabin was perfectly situated between Hill City, Custer, and Keystone. It was clean and comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, and the owners were great to work with. The kids loved the family of deer that visited each day and the expansive yard to play in. It was a fantastic place to stay for our family of five!
