We found this place and the property manager was awesome and so was the property itself. Much bigger and half the price as our original property. ##### Michael H.

We only had our family of 5, but the house was easily big enough for a second family. The pictures don’t do the view any justice. The kitchen had all of the basic utensils/cookware needed to make a meal. We would absolutely stay here again! ##### Mark M.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H. 3 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views House has beautiful views since you are really on a mountain and met all our needs. The decks are wonderful- we sat outside every night. This is a great place if you want to be away. The drive up the mountain is about 10 minutes so it's perfect if you want to be remote but if you are looking to be in the action you might look elsewhere. Property is well maintained and was great for our large family group. ##### Sara H.

The location is about 2 miles of dirt road that is, at points, very steep and can be treacherous for motorcycles. I would recommend parking bikes at the bottom of the hill at the host facilities an then driving to the property in other vehicle. Julia is amazing! A fantastic host and a warm and welcoming individual who communicates timely and effectively. Great working with her. I will work with her again on our next fellowship weekend. Don ##### Donald B.

One of the most peaceful beautiful spots in the Black Hills and very easy to access! We had 6 adults and 2 kids and plenty of room for more.

My wife and I, plus our adult children and their spouses all enjoyed our time at the cabin and in the surrounding Black Hills. There was plenty of space, so there was room to spread out, and yet great spaces to come together. The views are amazing. We had fantastic views of the comet Neowise, and even used the telescope from the covered porch. The area is very quiet as it's a bit remote, yet we could get to most all parts of the Black Hills quickly. The kitchen is large and well equipped for all of our meals there. Highly recommend this spacious cabin! ##### Rich H. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lona S. 21 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning views! This property exceeded my expectations! Multiple decks provide for all day viewing of the spectacular Black Hills. The kitchen has top notch tableware, utensils, cookware, etc. and plenty of it. We did feel the screened in porches could be cleaner and dead flies by the windows cleaned up, but they didn't bother. There was ample room for family to spread out when needing alone time. I have already recommended this property to multiple friends. Thank you for a lovely stay! ##### Lona S.

It’s about a 45 min drive. ##### Sulema S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle M., Eagle, Idaho 1 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Experience This was our first time using VRBO and it was a great experience. Easy, spot on with the house description, and the check in process was quick and friendly. Thanks for a lovely place to stay while on vacation ;) ##### Michelle M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max P. 18 Feb 2019 #### Wonderful Home -- Great Outdoor Views My friends and I stayed in this house for our annual summer reunion, and it was everything that we hoped it would be. The decking around the house provides incredible views, and the kitchen/facilities were easy to work and operate. Internet worked great. We especially loved that it was one of the last houses inside its community, so while there are still neighbors, we still felt like we were in the forest. This house is central to everything, but due to how secluded it is, it does take at least 20-30 minutes to get to any attractions. The road coming in has many hairpin turns and cows roam freely, so if you are coming in at night, please be careful! ##### Max P. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky F. 12 Jan 2019 #### Fantastic stay The RW Hogan house was a wonderful home to stay in for our family vacation the day after Christmas. The layout was really fun and there was plenty of room for reading, resting, games and movies. They have a library of movies at the cabin and the main office. The cabin was well stocked for our stay. Our 8 year old especially loved the bunk beds. The views were spectacular and we really enjoyed and appreciated the Native American decor. The cabin was at the top of the mountain, so it took awhile to drive up, but the feeling of seclusion was what were looking for. The location was perfect for the popular tourist points and close to Rapid City. The manager, Julie, was very attentive through email and text. We would love to stay at the cabin again. ##### Becky F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018
