This cabin was cute and cozy and in an ideal location for exploring The Black Hills. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped with everything that we needed. Jenn, the host, quickly responded to messages and checked to make sure things were good. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Anniversary trip

We chose the cabin because it was rustic looking but very modern inside. It provided outside seating to enjoy the outdoors. Amenities were as promised. Hosts were always available to answer any questions. We would give this a 10!

Black Hills Vacation

Overall beautiful stay! The cabin was perfect for the two of us! Very clean and the owner was more then accommodating. We had problems with our hotel and I reached out to Jennifer and she had the cabin available and let us come early as the cabin had already been vacant. Will stay again! Great hosts 10/10 5 stars!

Adorable little cabin for just the two of us. Couch for a little TV watching was uncomfortable but could easily watch from the comfy bed. Everything we needed and within driving distance of all the sites. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Cute, Clean, Comfortable!

Very cute cabin with everything you'd need for a nice stay. Very clean. Easy to find with great location between Rapid City and the outer historical sites. The morning sunshine streaming directly in and the close proximity to the highway were the only downsides but not enough to keep us away for another wonderful visit!!

A great place to stay central to all our South Dakota adventures.

The cabin was perfect for our stay. We were as far east as Badlands NP and as far west as Devil's Tower. The site of the cabin was perfect for our week. The location provided easy access to some great dinners in Rapid City, Custer state park, Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, and more! A couple of things I would do if staying there again. Bring soap. The "Basic soaps" as listed on the site was good for 1 day. Also, if staying during early summer, it would help to have eye masks as the sun shines in unshaded windows starting at 5:30am. Overall, loved it! Also, I couldn't have asked for more from the host, answering our questions and checking in during our stay. Thanks you!
