Great way to end the sightseeing day!

Overall the house was great. After driving 13 hours it was nice to be able to relax in the hot tub and then turn in on a pretty decent bed. We visited at the end of March so the temps outside varied a lot so there wasn't much time spent outside on the property other than getting into the hot tub. The only thing I would say was a negative is that the dishwasher wasn't working. I didn't want to spend time doing dishes but sadly we had to. I am hoping that the hosts will have the problem fixed for the next renter so they don't have to deal with that. Otherwise, the place was great. The TV's all had either a Roku hooked up or they were smart TVs. Bring your log in information in case nothing is logged it but you can wind down with your favorite shows or a movie. Plenty of towels for everyone and places for everyone to relax and spread out. I would definitely recommend this place to stay. BE CAREFUL of driving at night. So many wild animals just walking around and running across the roads but so cool! The deer, turkeys, and even bighorn sheep all wander around at night.

Fantastic Place to Stay!

My wife and I had the best stay at Jennifer’s cabin. The cabin was very well stocked with every thing you could possibly need (bring your own wine glasses if you wanted to enjoy a glass of wine 😊). It is very clean, comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect for us, a short drive to all the major attractions and rapid city. It was very private and quiet and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The communication was exceptional. Thanks Jennifer for everything, we hope to stay again!

Our 51st birthday celebration

From the moment we oulled up it felt like home. The cabin and property were srunning. Inside it was beyond clean and well equipped. If you forgot to bring something they made sure you had it already there! This property is secluded yet so convenient to everything! The only complaint i have is that we couldn't stay longer! And the property is very pet friendly. Cant wait to go back!

Not suitable for seniors

I had a hard time with the steps inside and out. The inside steps to get to the main floor were steep and very narrow. They did not have any handrails to help climb up. We were also disappointed with the condition of the deck. It was dirty and the cushions to the chairs were lying on the deck floor. There was also a hole that looked like it had burned. Before arriving I had visualized sitting on the deck and enjoying the views but that didn’t happen. I’m not sure that me and my family would stay there again.

Cozy Cabin In The Hills

Gave me and my family the mountain cabin experience I was hoping for. Property is dated but that enhanced the experience. Good location for visiting all the local historical landmarks. House was well stocked with all supplies and the hot tub was great. Host was prompt, only issue was that I had to call to get the check-in information, overall not a big deal. Thank you!!

Mountain getaway close to town

The location of this cabin is amazing. It's close to hiking and mountain bike trails and only 20 minutes from town. The house itself is spacious and comfortable, featuring a wrap around deck to watch the animals and just sit and relax. Communication was quick and easy. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great cabin for my weekend trip!

Several friends and I stayed at this property and had a great time. The cabin is very clean, and we had a lot of fun using the hot tub and TVs. The view off the cliff side is great as well, and the host was easy to communicate with. We would definitely consider this option again if we end up making a future trip to the area.

Spring Break Family Trip

This cabin was perfect for our family of 4 for our spring break trip. Our boys (8 & 13) loved the basement bedrooms and having their own tv. It was a great location for all our day trips to Mt. Rushmore, Custer, Badlands, and more. The cabin was very clean and stocked with plenty of towels, bedding, and kitchen needs. We loved the hot tub and the views and privacy were amazing!! This is an older home that could benefit from a few upgrades to lighting and the heaters but it also adds to the coziness of the cabin. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and we’d stay here again!

Great location, decent accommodation

Beautiful view and perfect distance from Rapid City. Has a cozy feel but could use some electrical work (opinion- I am in no way an electrician). Easy to get to, yet feels secluded. Good option for a shorter trip.
