Beautiful home. The staircase is not for the elderly. Well stocked & clean! It took us 10 mins to get from highway to the house due to winding roads. The view is beautiful! The area is Beautiful!!. We spent one day and most evenings at the cabin. We love the Black Hills!

This cabin exceeded every expectation. It was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The setting was gorgeous — quiet, surrounded by nature, and the perfect home base for exploring South Dakota. Waking up to that view with a cup of coffee on the porch was the highlight of our trip.The host was communicative and welcoming from the moment we booked, and check-in was seamless. The cabin itself had a great balance of rustic charm and modern comfort — comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy living area that made evenings just as enjoyable as our days out exploring.We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful home base in South Dakota. Thank you for sharing such a special place!

A little difficult to get suitcases into bedroom. Have to go down spiral staircase to get to bedrooms from front door or park in driveway and carry suitcases up stairs to bedroom. Very nice and clean house.

This property had everything you could think of. It was a home away from home!!The kitchen had all kids seasoning we could use while cooking. Everything thing in the property was perfect for our stay. The kids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the view including the beautiful sunrises. We loved being able to go sightseeing and return there for a comfy night.

Family of 5 getaway

Enjoyed our stay. Loved the location and cabin. Will call out that the 3rd bedroom is not connect to the upper level (you have to go outside to reach it) which is fine but our kids were too nervous to stay in there alone. Just a heads up!

I can't say enough good things about this host and property! So many nice touches: comfy beds, soft sheets, luxurious towels, thick throw blankets for chilly nights, a well stocked kitchen. Good central location to reach all the sites. I highly recommend!

The front door handle came off when we closed the door. It needs repair. The unique layout was a challenge but we all enjoyed our stay.
