Clean, cozy cabin stocked with everything you need. We really enjoyed seeing the deer and turkey in the backyard each morning, and the stars each night. The fireplace was a very cool amenity. The beds and linens were very comfy. Only downside was having to go up and down the stairs to use the bathroom since both were in first floor. Liked that we were very close to attractions, and less than 90 minutes to Devils Tower!

My only complaint is that there were some pretty strong smelling air fresheners in the house. Don’t get me wrong it was a good smell, just a little overwhelming.

We were there for the Sturgis motorcycle rally. The stones around the property for the driveway was not conducive for motorcycles. One of our bikes dumped because of the stones and shattered his windshield which cost him 650.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept, 2026
Thank you for staying with us during the Sturgis Rally and for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about the accident with the motorcycle and the damage to the windshield. We understand how frustrating and disappointing that must have been. The driveway and road is flat to this home, and the owenrs have done extensive work to make the driveway as easy as possible so we are not sure how that happened. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time in the Black Hills.

This property is so cute! It was immaculate coming in. My only con is that the fireplace did not work. That would’ve been really nice but we loved staying here and I would stay here again.
