This cabin is cute, quaint and a little bit off the beaten path, but also close enough to area attractions. Although we didn’t make use of the pool… this would be a big selling point for many! Would definitely recommend this place to others!

The Minnesota Ridge was a quiet, clean, safe, and quaint cabin to stay while sightseeing the Black Hills. It was well stocked and even came with s'more kits. The pool was warm and inviting. We traveled with 2 kids and 2 dogs and had plenty of room inside the cabin. The host was kind, responsive, and prompt. My family highly recommends and hope to stay again!

The value for this property is unmatched! We appreciated all the little details the host thought of and truly enjoyed this private, cozy cabin. We would absolutely book again. All of the essentials were covered and a few surprise details around the house really made the stay extra special! We loved the surprise smores, MagnaTiles, and nugget for the kids.

Was unable to take advantage of the pool but appreciated the option. Loved the location, the quietness and yet the proximity to everything we wanted to see including Custer State Park, Iron Mountain Road, The Needles, Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse.
