Comfortable 1 bedroom cabin for 2 people. Easy location for getting to different parts of Black Hills, minutes away from gas stations/grocery store/restaurants but tucked away on a private property. There is a deck off the bedroom with a view only of trees, wonderful to wake up to a well. Another little deck off the kitchen for using the propane grill and dining has a good view of the hills. The host was ready for us to check in early and eager to be of any assistance. They even left us a goodie basket of homemade cookies and banana bread! Possibly the only negative was the position of the TV in the living room was difficult to get comfortable, but we barely used it. Would recommend!

Excellent location near Custer Park. Enjoyed several excellent hikes while visiting. Nice kitchen and supplies with very responsive hosts and tasty banana bread. Only complaint was the bed, we are not memory foam mattress lovers and got very little sleep. Location close to local grocery store for supplies as well as great restaurants. Enjoyed burgers at the brewery and excellent food at the Begging Burro.
