Enough room for everyone

easy to access, secluded cabin with beautiful surroundings, but with enough room inside for all. we enjoyed our stay. The Wi-Fi was reliable and very useful given limited phone service in that region. Very clean and has everything you need. Would stay there again.

Great location and Cute place.

The house is very nice. Clean and attractive. I loved that it was not "too" rustic. We sat on the back deck and saw deer and wild turkey. Very peaceful area. And it is super convenient to all the sites. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing Black Hills cabin

We enjoyed this cozy cabin on our recent visit to the Black Hills. The location is perfect with a short drive to Hill City, Keystone, Custer and Mt. Rushmore. It has lovely views with access to a beautiful trail which we hiked. It’s quiet, clean and had ample room for our family gathering. Highly recommend!

This was the perfect space for our adult children and family to stay with us for a wedding up in Sylvan Lake. The turn to Sylvan Lake is literally two minutes up the road. It was private and cozy. We especially loved the back porch with the babbling brook stream in the morning with coffee. The space was perfect with three bathrooms and various bedrooms/spaces for our family to stay in. We loved hanging out in the living room together playing games. We met in the owners on our last day. They were lovely and very kind as we had lost our keys outside to our car; thankfully, we had an extra set along. We definitely would stay here again! It was perfect.

A Perfect Haven Getaway

This beautiful house is easy to find and located in the middle of many tourist areas. The beautiful creek behind the house with the Mickelson trail close by adds to the charm and availability to enjoy the beautiful landscape surrounding the house. The house is beautiful, warm and comfortable inside with lots of space. The best part was the cleanliness of the entire house. We plan to go back soon!!!!

Black Hills Stay

Gorgeous house in great proximity to everything in the Black Hills area. Right on the George Kittleson trail for biking, hiking, or running. Property has everything, was very clean, and comfortable for our family of 6. It would have slept several more though.

This cabin was perfect for our family. We enjoy biking, running, and walking on the Mickelson trail which is literally outside the front door. Our youngest daughter was pleasantly surprised to pull up to this property because she has admired it over the years as she ran on the Mickelson Trail. The sound of the creek behind the back of the cabin added a relaxing atmosphere. In addition to the location, this property has a wonderful floor plan and comfortable furnishings. The firepit on the deck provides a relaxing evening retreat. This cabin provided the perfect space for our family of eight, which includes a five-month old, to get away from life and enjoy time together. We have stayed at VRBOs locally and in different states and this has been our favorite!
