We absolutely loved the cabin and the beautiful location. We were able to see so many things nearby and then return to a quiet, peaceful place and relax. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the hosts always replied quickly if we needed to reach out.
This cabin was wonderful! It was perfect for every need we had. We loved the beds, there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom (this is typically lacking in most rentals), the property, grounds and location were beautiful, and contact with the property owners was effortless! Also note that it was immaculate! Would definitely stay again if in the area.
We were concerned to see the number of homes in the area when arriving but quickly discovered after there, it didnt matter as it was always very quiet and we were able to enjoy the beauty
This is a wonderful location away from the busyness of city life. Our family soaked in the peacefulness of the back-country and the adventures of historic South Dakota!
Very clean, good location cabin. Easily accommodated our family of 5. Our kids loved the wildlife that walks by the cabin. Would definitely stay again!
The cabin was extremely comfortable for our family. The kids loved the outdoors and exploring the grounds. If we come back to this area this is where we would stay.
The cabin was just as posted. It was a great location for us to visit the Badlands, Black Hills, Custer, Crazy Horse, and Mt Rushmore. Definitely recommend staying here!
We absolutely loved the location and beautiful drive to the cabin. We received check-in information ahead of time, so we had no problems getting into the cabin upon arrival. The cabin was very clean, and our group of 5 had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen had everything that we needed, and we used the grill each evening. We also saw plenty of turkeys and deer each morning and evening. I highly recommend this location to everyone!
Everything was PERFECTION!!! The cleanliness was top notch and the view was immaculate! We enjoyed every second of our stay!!!

We are a family of 6 who love the outdoors! We live work and play in the great state of South Dakota and have lived here all our lives.
Why they chose this property
We knew this was the Log Cabin for us the instant we pulled in the driveway and it only got better from there as we walked through the home. This is truly a property you wont want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Besides the fact that the home is set up with 5 star amenities and everything about the property is breathtaking, it is literally in the heart of the hills! Close to everything you will want to do while here. Additionally, the property is private and secluded but with very friendly and helpful neighbors close by if you need them.
