Great place to get a way. Nestled in the Black Hills. Close to several places of interest to visit. Dean and Teresa are excellent hosts. The house was cozy, comfortable and the deck was a great place to relax at the end of the day.

We had such a wonderful stay; this property truly offered all the comforts of home. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully prepared. The space was incredibly well stocked, with everything we needed (and then some) to settle in and enjoy our time. The beds were comfortable, making it easy to relax after long days of exploring.Communication with the owner was —responsive, kind, and helpful throughout. The location was ideal, with great proximity to local attractions, dining, and activities. Whether you're here for adventure or just some quiet downtime, this place hits the mark. Highly recommend!

Two trucks two trailers and two side-by-sides

We were able to park our trailers along the side of the house and parked our truck side-by-side in the driveway. Location is great getting around to sightsee and hit trails. The upstairs beds were good for small kids not recommend adults in the loft area. The other two bedrooms have plenty of room that are very comfortable. Outside deck was a nice bonus and having a full kitchen living room and TV was nice. It definitely worked what we needed and we were very satisfied.

Year 2

This was the second year that we stayed and wenrrally love the location of this cabin as it is close enough to Deadwood to take in all of the rodeo events and then also close to a lot of nearby attractions too! The cabin is just the right size too!

Cozy and comfortable

We enjoyed the cabin and amenities. Very rustic and well equipped. The beds in the loft are not ideal for adults… very low ceiling, you cannot stand upright. Stairs are impressive and rustic, but may not be safe for young children. Cabin was everything we hoped for. Location (neighborhood )was not as ideal as we expected. However close to everything the hills have to offer. Overall a very positive and relaxing experience.

Cozy Cabin for sure!

We LOVED the style of this cozy cabin. It had that perfect touch and was amazing to have our own space on a long vacation compared to hotel rooms. We cooked meals for a break from restaurants. The patio and bedrooms and all the space couldn’t have been better. Easy check in and check out. Just what we wanted in a vacation rental!

About the host

Hosted by Dean and Teresa Sternhagen

Host profile image
We live in Tabor, SD home of Tabor Czech Days, and have been married for 28 years. We have 3 children ages 31, 25 & 21. We have lived in the southeast South Dakota area all of our lives and appreciate the quiet life that SD offers.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoys spending time in the Black Hills of SD and 6 years ago we began the search for a vacation home/rental property. This property provides the privacy and coziness we were searching, and provides a convenient location to all the Black Hills activities and attractions. Rustic Retreat is our second vacation rental in the Black Hills, we enjoy sharing this properties with guests.

What makes this property unique

This property is a log cabin experience, with a large covered deck. Sitting out on the deck having coffee in the morning as the wind blows through the pines trees is one of the best parts of this property. Many mule deer visit the property as well as turkeys. There is a large green space for either parking or playing yard games. The city park is walking distance away, a feature for our younger visitors. Even though the property feels secluded we like that it is very close to Deadwood and other Black Hills attractions.
