Great cabin for my weekend trip!

Several friends and I stayed at this property and had a great time. The cabin is very clean, and we had a lot of fun using the hot tub and TVs. The view off the cliff side is great as well, and the host was easy to communicate with. We would definitely consider this option again if we end up making a future trip to the area.

Mountain getaway close to town

The location of this cabin is amazing. It's close to hiking and mountain bike trails and only 20 minutes from town. The house itself is spacious and comfortable, featuring a wrap around deck to watch the animals and just sit and relax. Communication was quick and easy. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, decent accommodation

Beautiful view and perfect distance from Rapid City. Has a cozy feel but could use some electrical work (opinion- I am in no way an electrician). Easy to get to, yet feels secluded. Good option for a shorter trip.

Fantastic Place to Stay!

My wife and I had the best stay at Jennifer’s cabin. The cabin was very well stocked with every thing you could possibly need (bring your own wine glasses if you wanted to enjoy a glass of wine 😊). It is very clean, comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect for us, a short drive to all the major attractions and rapid city. It was very private and quiet and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The communication was exceptional. Thanks Jennifer for everything, we hope to stay again!
