Perfect escape!

It was a very nice and secluded area to stay. We loved the quaint little cabin. The garage was so nice to pull our vehicle into unpack and settle in easier! We would stay again for sure

Super place in perfect location

Great little cabin central to all we wanted to do in the Black Hills. Started our mornings drinking coffee and watching the ducks and geese with their babies in the pond. Deer came down to drink a couple evenings. It was perfect!

Squirrel retreat

If your looking for something close to everything but very quiet and not right in the middle of the town. This is your place. I would stay again. Kathleen was amazing. Just perfect for this Nana and Papa. Our 10 year old granddaughter loved it as well.

Biking and Hiking

We came to ride sections of the Mickelson Trail, and the cabin was kind of small, but it was great to have a nice well lighted garage attached where we could unload our bikes and leave them inside if we had to go to town to eat supper or just go sightseeing. We had a great time and the cabin worked out well For three old guys that just needed a place to sleep and keep things organized.

Custer retreat!

Our stay at this little sanctuary was great. Totally spotless and don't let the size fool you - it was everything we needed and more. And the fact it had a garage was totally fabulous. No unloading/loading the car in the elements. My first with a VRBO. In the morning with coffee sitting out on the patio the steam coming off the pond and the deer romping playfully makes your day start out on a big plus. We highly recommend a stay should you be in the area. We certainly wouldn't hesitate to return.
