A group of ten ladies stayed and had a wonderful time. Cabin is in a very quiet area. Cabin’s kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pans, microwave, coffee pot, stove and dishes. Washer and dryer available. Two bathrooms, with a very small one being upstairs. Can’t be too tall to use the upstairs shower. :) if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of town- this is your place.

Peace and comfort

Our family of adults and teens all enjoyed this peaceful and comfortable cabin. The beds are comfortable, and the space was cozy and great for conversation while allowing room for everyone to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in our hammocks just outside. It’s close to both Pactola and Sheridan lakes, so our fishermen stayed busy. Everything about our stay went smoothly and we would easily go again.

Black Hills Family Get Away

“Highly recommend this lovely cabin! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the owner- very clear and easy check-in and check-out information. The cabin location is in the center of the Black Hills National Forest and was perfect for our needs and where we planned to go each day. Wi-Fi was excellent. We hope to stay again!”

Great cabin. Very quiet, clean and convenient to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and Deadwood snowmobile trails. This was an amazing cabin in a great location with easy access to all the Black Hills National Forest must-see sites. The cabin was clean and well supplied with plenty of space for our group of 6. Great host with a great response time. Thank you for our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Deck was perfect for enjoying quiet evenings while grilling as well as morning coffee. Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed - we only had to bring our groceries. We had a question about the internet and the owner responded within minutes.

Very Disappointed

Very dark and dingy! We found blood on the linens!! Dining room table was dirty with syrup. We wanted some fresh air so we tried to open the windows but found they were painted shut. The paint on the deck was chipping off and not very safe. We noticed one of the corners of the deck was rotted and one of the support posts underneath was not even connected to the footing.Needless to say we left after only one night for health and safety reasons. We do not recommend renting this property

Quiet, perfect for a get away

We had a nice stay here! While older, it was enjoyable. The house is located in a quiet area, perfect for folks who like to sit and relax. A paved road instead of dirt was probably the only thing we wanted to be different but it didn't outweigh the other nice things about the house. Thanks again!

Quiet and cozy

Wonderful stay! Everything was as described. The house had all amenities and then some. Comfortable beds and pillows. Very quiet and peaceful. The kids were missing their dog but were greeted on arrival by a couple very sweet and friendly Goldens(must be the neighbors). Even had a doe and her fawn walk right up to the deck where I was enjoying the evening. Thank you for a wonderful last minute vacation!

Very nice out of the way cabin

We very much enjoyed staying here. It is a bit out of the way, but the roads are well maintained. If you want your vacation to include some quiet relaxation this is a great choice. If you like being in the middle of the action maybe not. The cabin is rustic enough to feel like a cabin but modern enough to be comfortable.

Quiet Location

This property was in a lovely location and very quiet. The three of us staying here were all over the age of 60. We found the property very accommodating. The only issue we had was low water pressure when we arrived. The owner was contacted and responded quickly. Even though the water pressure was improved, we quickly learned that water could only be used in one area at a time. We adapted and enjoyed our stay. We were there during the Sturgis Rally but we were quietly tucked away from all of the hustle and bustle, This location is perfect for day trips to all of the Black Hills attractions! One last perk was our daily visits from PAX, the kind neighbor Pat’s golden retriever! As all of us were “dog people” and missing our “fur babies”, PAX was a much enjoyed treat!

Very satisfied with our stay!

Cabin was very nice and clean! Comfy beds! AC worked great! I did read in past reviews about the switchback road on the way up to the cabin and that some people weren’t happy with it…we loved it! Beautiful drive and that was part of the adventure. Take it slow and enjoy drive. Conveniently located between our travels to Deadwood, Mount Rushmore and Custer state park.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Close to all the tourist things, although a bit of a drive up the mountain. The kids liked all having their own bed (family of 7). We liked being in the woods. The kids loved the coffee fuse-ball table. Washer and dryer looked brand new and worked great.

Peaceful Wilderness Retreat

Our Family really enjoyed our time in the Black Hills . The cabin’s location was a short distance from all the places we wanted to see. The only drawback, at least initially, was the slow and spotty internet connection. However, the host provided lots of games to play and it was nice to see our kids enjoying nature and unplugging from their devices . Also, the other cabins were far enough away that we had privacy and we felt totally submerged in the wilderness and beauty of the Black Hills . If your looking for a place to unplug and unwind this is the perfect spot!
