We (Chad and Tara) have lived in the Hills most all of our lives. We enjoy the small town atmosphere and friendliness of the people here. We are excited for our guests to come and visit our beautiful Black Hills which we believe are a hidden gem that many people overlook. WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!
Why they chose this property
We have always wanted to own a small vacation rental to welcome people to our beautiful Black Hills, to enjoy the majesty and the beauty that is here. We know that you will enjoy your stay.
What makes this property unique
We love this small bungalow/cabin. It is in a perfect location to see all that the Black Hills has to offer. Everything is within driving distance and it is a perfect home base. We love the quirkiness and character in this cabin. It has original hardwood floors, and wood accents everywhere.
