About the host
Hosted by Todd or Cathy

Jim and Julie are your hosts. We are blessed to have lived in the Black Hills for nearly 30 years. We raised our two sons (now grown) in the the area and together have enjoyed hiking, biking, swimming, boating, camping, fishing, hunting, rock climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, exploring, and so much more of what the Black Hills have to offer.
Jim and Julie have owned the property since 2014. The cabin was custom built in 2015.
