What an adorable cabin for our stay! Our two granddaughters loved the loft and claimed it as their own! The queen bed was comfortable and the place was impeccably clean! The location was wonderful, and the crik by the cabins was so relaxing to sit by. With the Dairy Twist just east of the cabins, and Elizabeth’s Coffee cabin just south of the 385/16 intersection, we were in a perfect place! And of course the location is in the of the Hills, so we had great access to all the things to see and do! Our host was wonderful and communication with her was excellent! No complaints here whatsoever.

Great place in the Hills to stay

The cabin was very nice as well as the outdoor areas to sit on benches by an amazing view of the creek, vegetation and beautiful rock formations. Plus the ice cream store next door was fun!! Staff was amazing!

Black Hills birthday

The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was centrally located to all we wanted to do and see. If there was one thing, I would have liked it to be farther from the highway as the traffic noise was a bit overpowering at times.

The cabin was beautifully angled toward a creek so the boys could fish any time. We rented Razors , Pantoon boats and fished at several lakes. The cabin was in a perfect location to everything. Wonderful hostess!

The property is very well kept and clean. Host was very accessible and helpful. Location is near many attractions and scenery is beautiful. The only negative I can mention is that the shower in the cabin is vary small! If you're a wide or tall person you may feel like you're in a phone booth haha. The shower wasnt a deal breaker but for a large older person it might be a bit difficult.

Like home & perfect location!

We stayed 4 days and 4 night in the Bears den/cabin 2. The cabin was very clean. It had everything we needed minus our toiletries and food. Walking out the door to a beautiful bluff and creek every morning was so relaxing. The location was perfect for sight seeing and visiting all attractions in the black hills. And we went to the Dairy Twist on site for both dinner and desert a couple of nights. And although it is obvious that this is a local favorite, it is worth the wait! Great find for our vacation!

Needs maintenance

Door frame rotten at floor and deck. Had to step over each time entering or exiting thinking that we'd step through. Mentioned to mgr with no reaponse. Live mouse. We caught and killed. (Kinda to be expected when there is bait inside the unit that we found after the fact while looking for mouse.) Other than that, the place was clean, peaceful, great location, great staff, great food at the ice cream shop. We've stayed before but will ask more queations before booking again.

As expected- for the most part

Stay went well. Minor hiccup with housekeeping - booked for six but only had four towels and no sheets for pullout bed. Owner brought in more next day. Quiet aside from the main road - expected for tourist area. Mini golf was closed - under maintenance. Cabin has mouse trap and mouse droppings in water heater closet - none visited us though. One AC unit in main living area. We were surprised that it was enough for the whole house. Goose poop covers the yard by the creek - expected - bring old shoes. Not sure why office is only open 9-3. Tourist area. No one is at cabins during that time. Would be better to have split hours - like 7-9am and an on call time during evening. Just my opinion. Overall, as expected and ok for $$ we paid.

Gregory, Thank You for the review, I am glad that your stay was OK, but I would like to address some of your comments so the people reading get the whole picture. I think the goose droppings bothered you, but most of the people love the geese, ducks, deer, rabbits and other wildlife and that is just part of it. You are correct we get down on our hands and knees and put mouse poison inside the little door to the heater space so the mice don't enter the cabin, I am glad that it works and there were no mice in your cabin. The Mini Golf is not and has not been a part of our business any more and has no longer been in our advertising. I wish your stay had been better for you. I work hard to make our guests happy. Thank You again for the review and bringing up some things that needed to be explained. Karen

Cozy, clean and central location

We enjoyed our stay! The unit was very clean and welcoming. The fireplace was a nice touch. The kitchen was furnished with utensils, dishes, pots and pans to satisfy our needs. We would have loved to use the outside grill but we stayed busy sightseeing. Location was a plus as it is central to most of the sites we visited. Thank you!

Great stay

It was a perfect place to rest at the end of our busy days! I’d bring some sort of mattress for the loft, as the cushions were pretty flat. Super clean and the family fun zone was a great place for the kids to play.

Thank You for the 5 star review. I am so sorry about the mats in your cabin, that cabin and 1 other are the only ones that we didn't get the new mats in yet.. I am glad that you enjoyed the Fun Zone, Next year we hope to move the Fun Zone to the big open grassy area between the Creek and the cabins. Our hope is to move most of the playground activities there and it will not be enclosed but open to all of our guests at no charge. Please come and see us again. Karen
