This property had everything you could think of. It was a home away from home!!The kitchen had all kids seasoning we could use while cooking. Everything thing in the property was perfect for our stay. The kids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the view including the beautiful sunrises. We loved being able to go sightseeing and return there for a comfy night.

Stayed at the property for about a week with family. Nice location & enjoyed the decks. Overall space was a bit tighter than expected & neighbors closer than expected. Great amenities in the kitchen, very well stocked!
Enjoyed our stay. Loved the location and cabin. Will call out that the 3rd bedroom is not connect to the upper level (you have to go outside to reach it) which is fine but our kids were too nervous to stay in there alone. Just a heads up!
The cabin is perfect size with a lot of outdoor decks to enjoy the fresh air and gorgeous views!

The stay was ok at best. Didn't like all the gravel roads and road construction. It would have been nice to know ahead of time, in the description of the property, that there was a 2-3 mile stretch of a gravel road to the house and of the road construction.
Loved the property. It was such a wonderful property tucked away in the tree tops. Enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck befor and after a hard day of sight seeing and typical tourist activities.
We loved having a quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to return to at the end of a busy day. Very clean and really well stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, games, etc. The whole family loved sitting on the deck in the morning and the end of the day.
My husband and I and our 13 and 19 year old kids stayed here for a week the beginning of June. We had the best time! The cabin itself has everything you need and more! I loved having my coffee in the morning on the deck, it was so peaceful and serene. We did so many fun things while there! We went to The Reptile Gardens, Bear Country, Custer State Park, hiked in the Badlands, and spent a day in Deadwood. My kids were apprehensive about the no wifi situation, but they ended up having so much fun
We had an absolutely wonderful time, cabin was welcoming, comfortable and great views, would absolutely book this cabin again. After a week the spiral staircase were a little difficult for us old folks...haha Best vacation in years!
I can't say enough good things about this host and property! So many nice touches: comfy beds, soft sheets, luxurious towels, thick throw blankets for chilly nights, a well stocked kitchen. Good central location to reach all the sites. I highly recommend!

Such a welcome “retreat” after being a tourist! Loved the deck! Stargazing unparalleled! Grilling/eating on deck so relaxing!
Property so well maintained/had everything we could need/want. Highly recommend!
The view was spectacular. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you could need. It was centrally located but away from the heavy tourist path. Everything was perfect.
This place is perfect if you are looking to get away from the city life. Beautiful scenery and I spent mornings sitting on the patio watching the sunrise.
The cabin was fully stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The owners answered all emails promptly and provided you with lots of site seeing options . I would highly recommend staying here.
Unique hilltop destination tucked up in the pine trees. Description was very accurate, the location was perfect for the sightseeing we wished to see; pretty centrally located. If you don’t want a location out in the middle of nowhere this may not be the site for you. Gravel road with hairpin turns to access it.. We loved it!
Everything about this place is awesome location , everything is included awesome views awesome drives thanks for such an awesome adventure me and Angela truly enjoyed our stay it just went by way to fast.
We will rent this again in the future.
Brian & Angela
The house was wonderful. My 9 and 12 year olds were a little afraid to stay in the bottom floor with the pull out couch since it connected to the house via the deck. I would say this house was perfect for the 4 of us. It had no WiFi which was exactly what we needed for the kids to disconnect and be present. The games were really fun, too!
