We enjoyed our stay very much! The only issue was while we were going to enjoy coffee on the deck in the morning, the next door neighbor decided to mow the lawn right below us and at one point right beneath us throwing grass clippings in the air. I thought he could have waited.

The perfect vacation rental in the hills

This cabin had everything we needed for our family vacation. It was extremely clean and we enjoyed every minute of our stay! The kids especially enjoyed the large yard, hot tub, fire pit, and waving at the train. Thank you for your hospitality!

Wonderful place for a family get-together!

We had a family reunion and this place was perfect. The kids loved the large yard and the fire pit at night. The house was spacious and clean. It is very centrally located - which made all of our site seeing easier. The view from the deck and backyard was great. I would definitely stay here again.

Black Hills Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful stay with our family over Thanksgiving in the Black Hills. This cabin met our needs perfectly. It has a beautiful view. It could use a few upgrades in the living room and a more thorough cleaning, but it was a great cabin. Our family would definitely stay there again.

Lovely house

Our stay was great. While the bedrooms are small the rest of the house is very spacious. Plenty of room. Appreciated the maps and guides available and we really enjoyed the fire pit in the cool evening. Everything was ready and easy to use. We would definitely stay there again given the opportunity.

The home is exactly as described. It is very clean and only minutes away from all activities.

The home is well kept. It is very clean and the basic things you need are provided. It has a well kept front play area and a fire pit. The deck is great, with a nice view to relax by. The owners are very responsive and easy to work with. All the area attractions are within a short drive. Very satisfied with our stay.

Great location!

My husband and I stayed here with my parents and our 4 small kids. It was in a great location just outside of Keystone in a beautiful quiet area. We loved the large yard next to a little creek in back. The train going by was a special treat. The cabin was well maintained and cozy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings also. Great spot!

Annual trip to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

This the second time we have stayed at this cabin during the rally. We love the location. It provides great access to many of the places we ride to but it is quiet and safe. I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to SD, especially during the off-season when it is less expensive.. Owners are great? Thanks.

Better than we hoped for!!!!

This place is awesome!!! There is everything you would hope for. It was very clean and was perfect for our trip. We wanted to feel like we were actually staying somewhere, not just sleeping in a hotel. This is exactly what we received here. It was close to everything very easy to get to and from with ease. We will definitely be back for another trip.

Great.

A great location and perfect for all the local attractions. Well equipped for 4 adults and 4 kids, clean and well kept. Outdoor barbecue and fire pit available too for enjoying the cool evenings and night outdoors. The amenities inside the house need some upgrading, some bathroom doors do not lock either. We had a fun time and enjoyed it overall.

A home away

For my family this was a great home away from our home for a time. We enjoyed the setting in the Black Hills. We had turkey in the yard in morning and deer every night. Yet the drive to town was less than two miles. We enjoyed the fire pit and the deck made grilling convenient. The house itself was very good. I'd give it five stars but for the absence of WiFi

Nice place. Great location.

Centrally located location great for exploring the Black Hills. Home was clean and as advertised. I might even say that the interior was actually nicer and larger than the pictures make it appear. Our two year old loved the 1880s tourist train running through the back yard! (Don’t worry. Train does not run too early or late and is far enough away to not even hear if the doors are closed.)

The property was very close to the activities we wanted to see.

Being it was the off season was perfect for my husband and me. It was nice to relax and not be around lots of people. It was nice and clean. Thank goodness it was not busy with the place being in close proximity to a road. We did have an issue with the internet, we did call and message to get it figured out but no one responded. Thank you for sharing your place. It was very nice.

A great week in the Black Hills

We had a great stay in the Black Hills and enjoyed the proximity to Custer State Park with this rental. We were disappointed that the advertised hot tub didn’t work. The gas fire pit on the deck and the bottom oven were also out of order (there is a top oven that works). Other appliances worked great and the house was reasonably clean and stocked.
