Clean, Comfortable and Beautiful

The cabin was clean, beautiful and in the perfect location. I don’t have anything negative to say. Our hosts were very nice when I mistakenly had the wrong checkout date. They allowed me to stay long enough to get everything packed up and moved out and didn’t charge me any extra.

Very enjoyable, the cabin was cute and easily accessible from everything we wanted to see. The only negative was I had to keep asking for towels. There were 2 of us staying for 5 nites and there were only 3 towels provided. So I had to keep asking for towels.

Last minute booking

We booked this property within two days of staying there. We were the second booking of this new property. It was beautiful. We felt at home the minute we stepped inside. Jennifer was available for any questions we had and was even kind enough to let us tour one of the bigger cabins. It was hard to leave! We will hopefully get to be repeat visitors to this beautiful property!

The area was beautiful and the hosts were very kind. The bed was extremely comfortable. The water pressure in the shower could have been better but it wasn't bad enough to dimish the stay.

Nice little cabin, very close to Mount Rushmore and Keystone. Water pressure could have been better and a flat surface to set things down in the bathroom would have been nice. But overall made for part of a great vacation.
