House was very clean and the location was perfect for day trips to Custer, Wind Cave, and Rushmore. Everything needed is there and in good order. Would absolutely book again.
The cabin was absolutely awesome! It had everything we needed and was a perfect fit for us. Dealing with Cody and Michele was very easy and they were very responsive. We would stay here again, only longer next time!
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this cabin. It was clean and cozy! The check-in and check-out process was very smooth with the hosts being very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. Such a great location for the BlackHills including Custer State Park, the Bison Round Up, Mt. Rushmore, Cazey Horse, Jewell Cave, Wind Cave, etc. The kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook and grill throughout our stay. One minor feedback I would give is that there were no extra blankets at the house and no wash clothes. Overall, a great place to stay that is in close proximity to great attractions in the area. I would highly recommend anyone stay here who is exploring South Dakota!
This was spotless, quiet, and perfect for our family of 5. The kitchens and bathrooms were well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the hospitality and it was a great location for driving to Badlands NP, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer SP.

Thank you for your review and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay!
Very nice place but oddly enough there were no wash cloths provided and no small plates were either. A minor inconvenience but could easily be remedied by the host.
We absolutely loved the cabin and the beautiful location. We were able to see so many things nearby and then return to a quiet, peaceful place and relax. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the hosts always replied quickly if we needed to reach out.
Very clean, good location cabin. Easily accommodated our family of 5. Our kids loved the wildlife that walks by the cabin. Would definitely stay again!
This is a wonderful location away from the busyness of city life. Our family soaked in the peacefulness of the back-country and the adventures of historic South Dakota!
This cabin was wonderful! It was perfect for every need we had. We loved the beds, there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom (this is typically lacking in most rentals), the property, grounds and location were beautiful, and contact with the property owners was effortless! Also note that it was immaculate! Would definitely stay again if in the area.
The house and property are both beautiful. Very private and easy to get to. We enjoyed both front and back porches to view the stars. We were a party of 4 adults staying for 5 days. We have traveled together a lot and prefer these types of accommodations rather than hotels. We have a few suggestions for our host... the kitchen needs some more dishes and silverware ( only equipped with 6 of everything. We had to constantly wash dishes.) The beds were very comfortable however the pillows could use some refreshing. We found no extra blankets or even a throw. We would have liked to have more than one towel per person for 5 day stay and washcloths would have been nice. We were disappointed to not see any wildlife on the property as shown in the pictures ,as the feeder was not working. Over all our stay was pleasant and these are just a few ideas for our host to make for a much more comfortable stay.
