This was an amazing place to stay. The area was very quiet and peaceful. It was a great place to relax after exploring Badlands National Park and Custer State Park. The house was perfect for us. The location was great for all of the things we wanted to do. We visited Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Badlands National Park and Devils Tower Monument and everything was within a 90 minute drive. The host was fantastic and everything went very smoothly. We would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

We had a fantastic one week stay at this property. The lodge is very cozy and peaceful and is as described in the listing. We utilized the fireplace every night as the weather was a bit chilly and it made for a great atmosphere. The lodge is in a perfect setting and was central to all of our activities. Having the Sugar Shack nearby was great as well. Dealing with Mike is a pleasure and everything went smoothly. We had an outstanding time at this property.

This cabin was great! It was a perfect fit for our family of all ages. Kitchen arrangement made it easy to have additional guests over for games and food.
