Great location

The property was comfortable, cozy and clean. The location was perfect as it was in the middle of all the attractions we went there to see. The host, Carol was very friendly and helpful. And speaking of the location, it was well out into the countryside nestled amongst the tall pines. There were more deer and wild turkeys and we could here the elk bugle in the distance. We were not disappointed.

Beautiful Spot!

The cabin was spacious, decorated in a lovely way and was very clean. The view off the front deck of the meadow was beautiful. The location was near paths for our pups to run, a great golf course was not too far and a perfect spot to take a day for sightseeing. Thanks for the great long weekend stay!

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the Black Hills and left there, restless to see the world, when I graduated high school--couldn't wait to leave. Now that a few decades have passed, I could not wait to retire and get back for good.

What makes this property unique

I have a very busy time of it when I can get out there. It takes a lot of energy to walk the woods and peaks with my dog, look out back to see if the bachelor elk is coming by, pick up fossils, watch the sunset from Custer Peak, lie on my back in an innertube, and meditate on the front lawn. When friends visit, we go to Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and ride the 1880 train. The Warrior's Work gallery in Hill City is amazing, and Prairie Edge store and museum in Rapid in remarkable. Custer State Park is un-missable, and the rock shops and antique-ing are wonderful. Come on by!
