We enjoyed our stay here. Nothing fancy, but beds were comfortable. They also had a good supply of trash bags, soaps and TP. Kitchen is small, but well stocked. There are a lot of steps, so if anyone has issues with steps, this is not the place for you. The kitchen and main living room are a full flight up. They also had lots of extra blankets and pillows!!

Great Family Vacation

The location was interesting to get to, but everything in the Black Hills is interesting to get to. The house was very roomie and our family had a super time visiting the area. It was somewhat centrally located for everything that we wanted to do.

Nice Place

we stayed with Family and friends, Nice house, it works well for large groups, We brought out SXS and ATV's, I was a little concerned about trailers not allowed in the driveway due to size, Trailer were parked at the office a couple miles away, but the host was very nice and in the end it was no big deal. We would defiantly consider staying there again.

My extended family from various states met for a week in the Black Hills and we enjoyed our stay at Moose Haven. The owners were kind and helpful when we needed them. Loved being in the middle of the woods and the cabin accommodated our large family well. Thanks for being the place where so many wonderful family memories were made.

Amazing week

We came with 5 couples for a week of riding trails with our side x sides. The house worked perfectly with every couple having their own bedroom. Plenty of space to be able to sit around the table at the end of the day for some card games and enough space to be able to spread out if you need some space😉. There are plenty of steps but wasn’t an issue for us. Check in and out was super easy. I would definitely recommend this house. We really enjoyed our week here!

Beautiful area

We enjoyed our short stay. Julie was very responsive to any inquiries. This being my first VRBO experience, was not sure what to expect. The need to have dishes washed and placed back into the cupboard is challenging. A dirty plate was found. Suggest that dishes be washed in dishwasher to be sure are cleaned,(left in dishwasher if necessary) rather than hand wash and put away dirty.

Thank you for staying Sorry about the dish you found. I have personally stayed in homes and have had to do dishes and the laundry. We use to do the dishes but after all the dishes used and people had them stacked up all over the kitchen we just ask that you do the dishes you use. Thank you though for the input. Have a great day!

Moose Haven

Overall the stay was very nice. The place is a little more dated than what the pictures show. The remotes didn’t have any batteries. The house was close to trails for riding which was a big plus. Some of the information in the listing did not match what we were told. The listing stated there was room for trailers and that we could have 6 vehicles at the house, however we got to keep one truck and 14ft trailer there and two other vehicles. We had to park the other truck and trailer almost 4 miles away from the cabin. Overall the stay was nice and great memories were made. Julie was great for checking in and out.

Nice, big place for family to gather

The description of this property is quite accurate - there is a lot of space on three different levels for extended family to gather. We liked that everyone could have their own private spaces, yet have adequate living, dining, and outdoor areas to meet and spend time together. There are many amenities, like kitchen dishes, spices, coffee, laundry facilities, sheets and towels, Be aware that the living, dining and kitchen areas are on the second floor, so everyone who is staying here will need to be able to navigate at least a couple flights of stairs. Also, it is so a long, winding, steep, and gravel road to get there, so older or super compact cars may struggle with this. However, the location, once you get on and off the hills it is on, is central to Rapid City proper, Hill City, Custer, and places north like Spearfish. Communication from the property management company was good, and they were generally accommodating. I recommend this place.
