Beautiful quiet setting! Great place to enjoy nature of the hills and dark skies! Easy access to Hill City. House had everything we needed! Loved the Bluebirds flying around and landing right by us for photo ops! We all decided we should have stayed longer! Really enjoyed traveling even west up to Deerfield Lake a place sort of unknown! Just beautiful! We tried out restaurants you recommended and really enjoyed Alpine Inn and Chute Rooster and Bumpin Buffalo Bar and Grill! There was 13 of us and made it easy for us to stretch out relax and reconnect! Celebrating our Aunts 80th birthday, 2 cousins retirement, sisters 60th, another's 55, and our brothers 65! Again Thank YOU!

Christmas in the hills

Cabin was very nice big enough for everybody to get their own private area. Had about everything we needed for a nice hassle free stay, only regret as we didn't get to use all the cabin had to offer. First time we rented for family Christmas and it turned out wonderful.

We had a fabulous time. The cabin was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Beautiful scenery and plenty of room for everyone. The theater room was a bonus. And watching the horses run by when rounded up each morning was phenomenal.

House was as listed and had good room for 3 generations of family. Everything provide so only needed food and our clothing. Right on the Mickelson trail. Weather could have been better but not the fault of the property. Would rent again.

Family Reunion

This was an excellent spot for our family reunion. We had family coming from as far as Washington/Oregon and Ohio. This was a great location for everyone to come together and relax and spend time together and also see some of the beautify of our country. I will note when we reserved the house the capacity was slightly different than the current allowable. We worked through it and it did not impact our stay. Matt the manager was great and very attentive to our needs. Without a doubt, we would stay here again!

A great location for accessing the area!

We had a great experience at the property. It's very convenient to Hill City, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, I could go on. Only thing that surprised us was a late Spring BLIZZARD (20 inches officially) that cut short some of our enjoyment of the Mickelson Trail. Even then the property team was quick to make sure snow was cleared and that we were ok during the blizzard. Great experience, would recommend.

Perfect!

This was the perfect landing zone for our Mt. Rushmore trip with family. We loved the hot tub, theater room, and especially the surrounding area. It was fun to go out and pet the horses as well as take a walk on the trail located just next to the cabin. The owners were very kind and made sure the lights and the heat were on when we checked in as it was late when we arrived and they made sure to come meet us and see if we were in need of anything. Everyone was very kind and the entire place was very clean. Highly suggest this place for families wanting to enjoy time together.
