It literally had everything we needed for our 5 days in the Black Hills. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed for the days we decided to cook, and it is extremely easy to access all the tourist sites from it. We were 13 minutes from Mount Rushmore, a beautiful 20 minute drive to Sylvan Lake, 30 minutes to Wind Cave and Jewel Cave and as near to the Needles Scenic Highway as you can get. There were games for the kids to play and movies to watch, but we were so busy with everything that there was no do that we didn’t have much time for that. You won’t regret staying here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin P. 10 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay Great location, nice property, no issues. ##### Justin P.
