Our stay at this property was very enjoyable. The cabin matched the description. We had everything we needed. It was conveniently located. We were excited to see a family of deer every day. This was our first experience with the owner mailing us the keys prior to the stay and us having to mail the keys back at our expense.

Beautiful cozy cabin

We loved staying at this cabin! It had everything we could have possibly needed and was such a beautiful location. The kids loved having such a big area to play outside, and we all enjoyed the convenience of being located on trail 5 and next to Rec Springs for snowmobiling. We will be back!!

Perfect for hitting the trails!

Great location and property right next to Rec Springs on the snow mobile trails. We had a 24 foot trailer and 2 two place snowmobile trailers and had room for parking even with all the snow. Property was great and exactly as described.

Great Visit!

Thanks Mel and Marge for providing the perfect Black Hills cabin stay - our nights there exceded all of our expectations! Perfect location, great views, remote yet close to Lead and Deadwood. Our only regret was not planning a full day off from seeing the sites and relaxing more at your place. Thanks again!

Enjoyed our stay

Mel was great with communication and availability. Cabin was clean and one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have used. Did have to run to store to buy soap for shower. TV had only four or five channels but didn’t concern us since we weren’t there to watch TV. Overall our family enjoyed our stay and would stay in this cabin again if and when we return to the Black Hills.

Perfect in every way!

This cabin is perfect...it has everything you need in a beautiful, remote, relaxed setting!! We were on a snowmobile trip so being located adjacent to trail #5 was great! We had 2 couples so there was plenty of room. The kitchen was equipped well and there were plenty of extra towels, bedding, blankets, chairs, etc, if needed. The home was very clean throughout!! Communication with Mel prior to the trip was wonderful!! Definitely a great find!!

Love the Black Hills

I chose this cabin for the central location. Most of the sites are an hour to hour and an half away. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 does and 3 fawns. All are evening visitors. Next morning there was a flock of turkeys and a peeping Tom marmot. Mel was quick to respond regarding a minor issue and kept us updated on what was going on. The cabin was very comfortable for the 2 of us. Nicely stocked kitchen. The floors were CLEAN walked around barefoot and no black feet.

Exactly what we wanted

My friends and I like to vacation in the Black Hills. We always try to find a location where we can hang out, outside. This location was perfect. No next door neighbors. Big firepit outside. Covered porch was great when it was raining! The beds were comfortable. We were 4 adult males and we were all comfortable. Having two bathrooms was excellent as well. The cell service was limited and the wifi was extremely slow but we don't go out there to be on our phones. We love enjoying being outdoors. Stepping off the back porch right into the woods was awesome. We were very happy with this location!

First time in South Dakota

First time visiting South Dakota and it is beautiful. The cabin was just as published. Very spacious. All the utensils, pot and pans you could ever want. There were even a few spices that were available to use. The owner was very friendly and promptly answered questions after messaging him. The grounds were perfect, quiet, and surrounded by trees. There's a restaurant within walking distance that had very good food. The TV's were very hard to figure out so a how-to sheet would have been nice to have. Also, the thermostat seemed to not be rigged correctly but a quick note to the owner was answered and we figured it out.

Even better than advertised!

This is the best little secluded hideaway in the Black Hills - without exception. The cabin has everything a family/small group needs, and it is CLEAN and WELL-MAINTAINED. Every year the owners add something new to the cabin to make our experience there even better than before. They appreciate us as guests, and we appreciate them! Sunrise over the quiet meadow is just like the photo - and then the wildlife starts to show up. This summer we watched a doe stand up and wait for her newborn, twin fawns to stumble to their feet and follow her into the trees. And all this happens within easy access and convenience to the many attractions of the Hills! Whether close-by, or on a day-trip adventure, there are all kinds of fun things to do and places to go - for children and/or adults. Keep your camera handy. And don't miss The Great Faces (aka Mount Rushmore)! If you want a break from using the cabin's awesome kitchen, there's a great burger and a pint; buttermilk pancakes or an Indian taco; or a trout dinner to be found at Lewie's, Cheyenne Crossing Cafe, or the Latchstring Inn respectively - all of which boast national acclaim. Our whole family, including the kids, has personal favorites at all three. We have stayed at this cabin several times. I guess it is obvious why 'the cabin' is our favorite place for making memories with our family. Thank you.
