My wife and I stayed here with another couple for 7 days. I can't say enough about how friendly the owner was. She told us about the carnival, the town rodeo and the local restaurant. A hail storm came through and she texted me to let us know we could park our motorcycles in a covered area. So thoughtful! Everything we needed was there. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very cozy and Bridget took the time to label all the cabinets!We would definitely recommend!!

This is one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in. The place was clean, well-thought out, and had everything we needed. It is close to Custer and Keystone and an easy drive to the rest of the region. The Shorbs are great people and highly responsive. I highly recommend this VRBO. Don't forget to eat at Lintz Bros Pizza when in Hermosa!
