We had an awesome time at this cabin last week. It is so beautiful, and well decorated. We've been thinking of buying our own cabin back home, and I don't think we could imagine anything better than this one. The detail is amazing and certainly it has every modern convenience. There is so much to do in the Black Hills, and we had every intention of getting up each morning early and leaving for the day. But we loved the cabin so much that we always slept in and just hung out. One rainy day we went to Walmart and bought some board games and a puzzle and just had an awesome family day inside. Jessica is just across the road and is extremely receptive to anything you might need. The cabin is very remote, but still very close to Rapid City, so you aren't far from anything really. Mount Rushmore, Hill City, Reptile Garden, Cosmos...all within a half hour or so. But back to the place, I still can't get over the way this cabin is decorated (whoever the interior designer is should win an award). There are letters from famous folks, memorabilia, and animal heads.....and it just works! And the cabin itself I'd describe as rustic/industrial (cool use of pipes). Our kids loved the loft, although the steps could be a bit steep for really small children. There are sinks in the bedrooms and the shower is HUGE. We will not forget this cabin and would stay again in a heartbeat. If I had any complaint, and it's nitpicking, it's that I wish there was more of a yard. We brought a lot of sporty stuff, and would have been nice to have been able to throw the football around. The area around the cabin is natural grassland, so long and not ideal for playing in. But Jessica did offer to have our kids play over in their yard on the swingset area, which was nice. A firepit would be great too, but again, with the long grass I'm guessing that would be a significant fire hazard. Otherwise, just amazing. You can literally sit in the hot tub and watch deer roam by......where else can you do that?? Thanks for being a great host Jessica and letting us rent your amazing cabin!
