We had an amazing stay. Check-in process was very easy. Everyone in our group was impressed with the clean and nice the house was. It is a little drive to get places, but the scenery is beautiful, and the seclusion is well worth it! Thanks for a great stay!

Great Black Hills Cabin

We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.

The log cabin is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is surrounded by trees and very quiet and private. The property is centrally located to most Black Hills attractions.Note: the roads in this entire area are “hilly and curvy”, so it takes extra time to drive to the various attractions, but the views along the way are amazing!

Great Stay at Black Hills Log Cabin

We stayed a week at the Black Hills Log Cabin. It is secluded and peaceful! We enjoyed the ping pong table upstairs and the king sized beds in each room! Plenty of deer and turkeys on the property and nearby.

We had a wonderful trip and loved property. Very unique house in a beautiful setting. Off grid but with all the comforts and amenities of home. Host was very helpful and accommodating. If we ever have chance to visit Black Hills again I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.It was a 25-30 minute ride to Mt Rushmore but a beautiful ride. If you're looking for serene and secluded this is a great rental. Just be sure to plan provisioning ahead of time. Rapid City Walmart is probably 45 minute drive. Nearest shop is 20-25 minute ride.Loved staying here, great memories. Hope to visit again.

Peaceful with a nice easy drive

The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

Race day

The property was fantastic. We ran the Mount Rushmore half marathon and this property was a mile away from the start line. This place was very well kept and maintained the owners have really made this place amazing always thinking of the guests they have. This was a great place to take the family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The house is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, it was very clean and it was fun to see deer every day. As noted, it is about 4 miles in on a gravel road so takes a bit of time to get there (like 15 minutes from town). We enjoyed this private setting for our stay. I had a question during our stay and the host responded right away. We stayed with our family of 6 adults. The ping pong table provided fun in the evening as well. I would recommend this property.
