The house was very comfortable. It had everything we needed. It was close enough to town but yet far enough out to give us the wilderness feel. We loved watching the animals and sitting on the porch enjoying the peace and quiet.
Property was great! Great location. Incredibly quiet and amazing star viewing. House was clean and well stocked. I would absolutely stay here again.Hosts were very responsive to all communication.
AMAZING! This is exactly what we wanted in a vacation home. It has it all! Peace and quiet, every amenity of home and close to everything we wanted to see and do. The home was clean and well kept. Tons of dinnerware, pots and pans and small appliances. We used the grill out back and the fire pit which made for an awesome evening. We would definitely choose to stay again if back in the area.
Lovely property with everything we needed and more. Beautiful views, peaceful, close to all main attractions and plenty of space for our group of 6 people.
This was our 5th time staying at this property, dating back to Sturgis week 2011. We love the property with the wildlife presence, but yet close enough to great motorcycle rides throughout the entire area. We have brought extended family, friends and our pets over the years and this property allows us to entertain as if it truly was our home away from home. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to the Black Hills. Loved it!
We’re repeat visitors because of the beautiful location, outdoor amenities, and great value. The family takes immaculate care of the property and keeps it stocked with everything you need!
This is our 2nd stay at this home & once again we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We love the secluded feeling of the property and the abundant wildlife. Added bonus of this location is they allow our dog to stay as well!
This place is perfect, owners are awesome Tom and Sue are great hosts, can not say enough good things about the location, property and how great the cabin was!
The house was clean and comfortable, outside was a gas grill and fire pit. We grilled several meals and started the fire pit and made s’mores. We saw turkeys and deer on the property every day. Each morning we were greeted by a couple of chipmunks on the deck. to say we had a wonderful time isn’t understatement. Thank you, Tom and Sue.
The house and land was in a great location. We want to thanks the owner for renting the house to us. We all love it. The owner was very helpful when we had a question. They got right back with the answer.When I get ready to go back up I will see I can get the house again.They are great people to deal with and will let anybody know about the house to rent.Thanks again.
House was clean and check in process was simple. House is right in heart of Black Hills with plenty of privacy and luxuries but also convenient to attractions, restaurants, and shopping.
The house is close enough to everything
Yet so secluded
I was there with my daughter and her family
Also my son and his family
Plenty of room for everyone
The kids loved it too
We throughly enjoyed our stay! It was quite and relaxing as the property backs up to the national forest.
This vacation home offers everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed the access to off-roading, Jewel Cave, Mt Rushmore, and much more.
Was a rememberable relaxing stay!
