"Our stay with family of 7 and an infant as well as our Frenchie was very enjoyable. We used this stay as our start point to many of the surrounding areas including the Badlands, Spearfish Canyon, Deadwood, Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park. It worked our perfectly. The firepit and front and back porch were very nice to sit and relax. Multiple washers and dryers made doing laundry very easy. Although we did not use the bicycles that certainly is a nice feature to enjoy.The split level with 3 bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs with the play area provides plenty of space for all. We had a great time and this house worked perfectly. ."

"If you are planning on a trip to the Black Hills with a large group, this is definitely a great choice. Only a few miles from Hill City but secluded enough to enjoy the wonderful views and countryside. Since it is centrally located in the Black Hills, it was perfect for accessing Mount Rushmore, Custer Park, etc. And Deadwood was only a short drive. We enjoyed the deer and turkeys every morning and evening coming to feed. The accommodations were clean and spacious with a large kitchen and living area. Our group had SxS’s and trailers and this property had excellent parking for the vehicles, trailers and the SxS’s. Chuck and Kim are excellent hosts and we really appreciated Chuck meeting us upon arrival to provide all the necessary information. Highly recommend!"
