Our stay at this property was very enjoyable. The cabin matched the description. We had everything we needed. It was conveniently located. We were excited to see a family of deer every day. This was our first experience with the owner mailing us the keys prior to the stay and us having to mail the keys back at our expense.

Great location and property right next to Rec Springs on the snow mobile trails. We had a 24 foot trailer and 2 two place snowmobile trailers and had room for parking even with all the snow. Property was great and exactly as described.

Beautiful location

Beautiful cabin. Location was awesome be aware of limited cell service but that is to be expected for being in such a remote location. That is not a negative for the rental just a reality of remote staying. So worth it for the remoteness of the cabin and the wildlife sighting. Would recommend to other travelers for sure. Owner is so communicative and helpful.

Great property~awesome setting!

We stayed for two nights during a week-long Black Hills adventure. The location is central to so many activities--exploring Spearfish Canyon, Custer, and Deadwood. The property itself is beautiful--wildflowers everywhere, amazing stars at night, and deer sightings every morning and evening. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and grill out! We definitely recommend this property for people traveling through the Black Hills area. Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay

Mel was great with communication and availability. Cabin was clean and one of the nicer VRBO rentals we have used. Did have to run to store to buy soap for shower. TV had only four or five channels but didn’t concern us since we weren’t there to watch TV. Overall our family enjoyed our stay and would stay in this cabin again if and when we return to the Black Hills.

Love the Black Hills

I chose this cabin for the central location. Most of the sites are an hour to hour and an half away. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 does and 3 fawns. All are evening visitors. Next morning there was a flock of turkeys and a peeping Tom marmot. Mel was quick to respond regarding a minor issue and kept us updated on what was going on. The cabin was very comfortable for the 2 of us. Nicely stocked kitchen. The floors were CLEAN walked around barefoot and no black feet.
