This is a luxury cabin. All of your amenities are provided and the home is very well built with top of the line everything! The view is indescribable. You are “in” the Black Hills with only a short drive to Hill City or Custer. We felt like this home was more than expected. It’s beautiful, extremely clean and with lots of room between the two floors. Our dogs LOVED the wrap around patio. LOVED LOVED LOVED

Everyone in our group agreed that the stay was marvelous. We all had room to do whatever we wanted. I loved being able to walk right out the back door and enjoy the scenery and rock formations. The pool table got a lot of use, as did the hot tub. The house was located close to nearby attractions and local food was great. From our welcoming arrival treats to one last hammock before we left, everything was great. Thanks, Dave!

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It is secluded and peaceful but not too far away from town and activities. The view from the front porch is amazing and the hot tub was nice after a long day of exploring. Everyone in our group said the cabin was their favorite part and we all agreed we would love to come stay again! Dave was great with communication and making sure we were doing okay. 10/10 recommend booking!

Wonderful, relaxing, beautiful setting

We loved being able to get so secluded with this property, close enough to town to get whatever you need but not having to contend with neighbors was awesome. The house was super clean, roomy and in good condition, the bathrooms are amazing.

We have gone to the Hills for a family get together for the last 10 years. This cabin is by far the best place ever! Spotlessly clean, spacious and stocked with all the essentials and more. Loved the hot tub and the awesome deck with the spectacular view! Such a peaceful and secluded location. We plan to come back next year for sure. Highly recommend!

We have rented quite a few vacation homes and this is one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean and had everything our family of 8 needed to have an amazing time. Communication with the host was excellent and we loved the seclusion, privacy, and most of all the beautiful setting and access to hiking and mountain biking trails. Would give it 10 stars if possible!
