Most pleasant accommodations of our entire journey visiting South Dakota. The cabin is amazingly rustic with well kept interior furnishings. So comfortable beds. Has all the amenities along with mid journey needs met for washing clothes. Coffee was perfect for mornings. But I think the thing that we enjoyed the most was the ground hog neighbor on the property. He was distinctly massive and such a delight to watch as he was always outside his covered dwelling; minding his business. Cabin was centrally located to all the great sites of the area. Great host communication.

This quaint cabin is adorable and perfect for our friend weekend trip. I would definitely recommend it. Only ding was for the lack of an outdoor fire pit which is was a huge reason why we chose this cabin.

We have reviewed our amenities again and we do not list a firepit or fire table as an amenity nor do we have one in any pictures. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding when you rented. Thanks again for choosing Rustic Retreat, we’re happy you had a nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dean and Teresa Sternhagen

Host profile image
We live in Tabor, SD home of Tabor Czech Days, and have been married for 28 years. We have 3 children ages 31, 25 & 21. We have lived in the southeast South Dakota area all of our lives and appreciate the quiet life that SD offers.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoys spending time in the Black Hills of SD and 6 years ago we began the search for a vacation home/rental property. This property provides the privacy and coziness we were searching, and provides a convenient location to all the Black Hills activities and attractions. Rustic Retreat is our second vacation rental in the Black Hills, we enjoy sharing this properties with guests.

What makes this property unique

This property is a log cabin experience, with a large covered deck. Sitting out on the deck having coffee in the morning as the wind blows through the pines trees is one of the best parts of this property. Many mule deer visit the property as well as turkeys. There is a large green space for either parking or playing yard games. The city park is walking distance away, a feature for our younger visitors. Even though the property feels secluded we like that it is very close to Deadwood and other Black Hills attractions.
