The cottage was very nice and quiet. The back porch was nice to relax and watch the sunset. Great location to get to all the sites. Don't miss the Needles Highway scenic drive. The granite spires are awesome! We would stay again if back in the area.

I appreciated Marcia’s communications with me from the time I booked the cottage until we left. The cottage had everything we needed from dish soap to paper products. This location is excellent. Each day we explored a different location to see all we wanted. :Devil’s Tower, Spearfish water falls, Deadwood, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, & 1880 Railroad in Hill City.
