Awesome Cabin

We have stayed at Silver Mountain Cabins before, and we loved it there! The property is so beautiful and clean! We love the location as it is close to all the places we love to go. It’s in the middle between Rapid City and Hill City. It’s close to Custer, Mount Rushmore, and Keystone. We enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back!

Recharging Time

Jen is very responsive. We had a wonderful rejuvenating time at this well constructed cabin. Nice location for exploring the Black Hills and what it has to offer outdoor enthusiast. Prefect for early risers, gets bright fast in the mornings. Beds - super high, difficult to get up into if your short legged or have mobility issues (bad knees), next time I definitely will bring a step stool so getting in and out of bed will be so much easier during our next day

The cabin was spotlessly clean. It smelled clean and pleasant upon entering. Even though the cabins are next to each other, there is space for privacy. The landscaping is beautiful. Convenient location. The Host was friendly and responsive. The craftsmanship of the cabin was impressive!

Great location

This was a beautiful cabin in a perfect location. We loved how it was close to a lot of attractions. The road up to the cabin was narrow and had sharp turns but this was all written in the description when booking. The host was great with checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Overall a great experience.

Perfect passing through stay!

My husband and I were headed west for our honeymoon and needed somewhere to stay for the night while we saw Mount Rushmore! This cabin was perfect! It has nice privacy off the road and in a great spot centrally located with everything in the area! It was so CLEAN! We have never done a VRBO before but we decided to try it out and will definitely be doing it again! It was homey and spacious and well taken care of and the hosts were so accommodating, she let us check in early (without us asking), was able to recommend places for dinner in the area, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. If you are heading through town, I would recommend this little cabin over and over again! It was such a nice experience!
