The Turtle House
The perfect little cabin hideaway. We felt so cozy in our little retreat. We loved the warmth of the fireplace. The breakfast sandwiches were an amazing find, thank you so much! We did hear someone walking around upstairs which was startling. Especially as my husband was still sleeping and my 3 year old was startled and ran to me. We tried to make it not bother us. Would stay there again if we found ourselves in the area again.

Cute place. Perfect for our stay. Very clean and comfy. So cool to find out we were next door neighbors to the Termesphere Gallery. Got to visit there and meet Dick. Nice and close to town and the Spearfish Canyon but felt like you were in the country.

Awesome getaway!
My little family loved staying here! Awesome proximity to Spearfish and Deadwood, but you feel like you're in the hills/countryside which we love. Great amenities. Grateful we found this place for a quick vacation!

Amazing
For our 1st time to SD and the Blackhills this property was perfectly located. We woke up to deer in the yard every morning and came home to them grazing in the evenings. Its and hr dr to devils tower and and hr 1/2 to Custer/ Mount Rushmore area. We came with it two young boys 4&7 & my mom. The space was perfect us for us. The one thing I will recommend is if you have a favorite pillow bring you'll sleep much better.

Looks cozy but could use many updates
Furniture was very worn and the bed needs replacement. AC unit did not fit the window. Shower curtain was black on the bottom and the shower is very small. One of the doors to the bathroom was swollen shut and not usable. Could be a cute cozy place but needs some improvement for comfort
