We had an amazing stay. Check-in process was very easy. Everyone in our group was impressed with the clean and nice the house was. It is a little drive to get places, but the scenery is beautiful, and the seclusion is well worth it! Thanks for a great stay!
The overall stay was great. The property is centrally located to a lot of area activities, but off the beaten path, which we loved. It is very clean and maintained, and it felt like home away from home. We would stay again if we were ever in the area.
Great house! Plenty of space. Great location and lots of wildlife. Kids loved it and couldn't get enough of the ping pong table. Would definitely book again.
The log cabin is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is surrounded by trees and very quiet and private. The property is centrally located to most Black Hills attractions.Note: the roads in this entire area are “hilly and curvy”, so it takes extra time to drive to the various attractions, but the views along the way are amazing!
The lodging was beautiful and secluded. We absolutely loved the accommodations and the daily visit from the deer and turkeys. Great access to all the surrounding locations for site seeing. Fantastic hosts and wonderful experience.
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful, comfortable, clean, abs had wonderful views and outside space to enjoy! Culver staye Park was not too far which made it easier to come and go. lots of wildlife ad well (deer and turkeys). We look forward to visiting again and recommending this gorgeous house to friend and family. 10/10 experience!
We had a great stay here. It’s on gravel but they’re nicely maintained roads. It’s the perfect location to all the things we wanted to see. Custer’s Park, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more. The kids loved the ping pong table and the wildlife that came to feed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6.
