Great Home Base

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend - the location made it easy to access everything we wanted to see. It was a great home base for our weekend in between hikes and sights! Property was very clean and even though we were located next to other cabins we never felt like we didn't have privacy.

Great place to stay!

Everything about this place was amazing. It was clean and well laid out for a place to stay with three adults and three kids for a week. The hosts were easy to communicate with and provided great tips on where to go. Great location if you want to visit Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and the Black Hills National Forest.

Quick trip with all the things!

We loved our stay! The cabin is immaculately clean and the beds were so comfortable. It's located perfectly for a trip to Mount Rushmore and a ride on the 1880 train. The owners were so responsive and even had our cabin ready a little before check in! They also gave us the recommendation for the Rushmore Cave and Adventure Park which the kids in our group absolutely loved! Would definitely book again!

Mt Rushmore Trip

This property was the ideal location for our first trip to the area. It is convenient to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Needles Highway, Spearfish, Deadwood and only an hour and a half from Devil’s Tower, WY. Cabin is spotless and very well done, and Jenn is great about checking on you without being intrusive. We highly recommend it!

Perfect location

This little cabin was absolutely perfect for us. Very clean and the right amount of space, the upstairs loft was perfect for our kids ages 20 and 15 and the king bed downstairs for my husband and I. We had plenty of towels, toilet paper and kitchen supplies. I appreciated Jennifer checking on us to see if we needed anything during our stay.It was the perfect location based on all the places we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again.
