Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods! Didn’t feel like Yankton, SD at all, felt more like the Black Hills. Plenty of space for our group of 12 - adults and teenagers. Loved the fire pit in the backyard and all the space for yard games. The blackstone grill was also a nice addition- loved cooking breakfast on the deck! We will definitely be back!

Perfect site for our family

This was fantastic for our use. Lots of bunk beds for the little ones, a wonderful great room to assemble, and a fantastic back yard and deck, complete with grill. Private, but with friendly neighbors.
