Family Vacation

This cabin was just what we were looking for. We wanted a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The views were amazing and all neighbors were very helpful and friendly. The cabin was very cozy and we enjoyed the fire place every night.

Quiet cabin to unplug

Cozy cabin to get away from it all! We went with our 12 year old son and it was the perfect size for us. Within driving distance to all the big stops in SD (Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer SP, Deadwood, etc.) The cabin was clean and well stocked with all cookware needed. If you’re looking for peace and to unplug - this is the place :)

GREAT GETAWAY CABIN IN THE BLACK HILLS!

Rita and Tally are great hosts! This is a wonderful cabin for a couple or a couple with small children. It is spacious yet cozy - with all you need for a weekend to relax close to the forest. Great cooking space, comfy bed, and nice fireplace. We had a wonderful two days of nice weather to walk the trails and then a huge rainstorm and a snowstorm to keep warm by the fireplace. My perfect birthday weekend away!

Anniversary Weekend Getaway

This cabin was perfect for our anniversary weekend getaway. It was close to the things that we wanted to do over the weekend. It is a bit of a drive to get back to the cabin but still very close to all the fun. I wouldn't let that discourage you from staying there. It is in a quiet housing community called Silver City. We did not have cell service at the cabin which helped us unplug. We would definitely stay there again. Bonus were the turkeys, deer and hummingbirds that greeted us on arrival!

Peaceful and Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very neat and clean with all of the amenities we wanted. Because of a minor medical emergency we spent more time at the cabin than planned but we couldn’t have been happier. So quiet even though it was a very windy weekend. Wild turkeys and deer were walking around at all hours. My husband would have preferred to have a shower but I found the tub suited just fine. We really liked the cabin.

Great somewhat remote cabin

If you like some place that is ,remote up in the trees and doesn't have a TV or radio this is the place for you. It's located in a beautiful valley and sitting on a hill. We did have some issues with finding it via Google maps. It says it's in rapid City but it's really up in the mountains in silver City. If you want a really off-grid (they do have electricity, water, septic) remote cabin this is the place for you. Super peaceful we had a great stay. And a black cat and a deer said good morning to us

HAPPY TRAILS LOG CABIN, Silver City, SD

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was on the edge of the small village of Silver City with a forested mountain slope directly behind, giving it a remote sense, while providing all of the comforts of a modern life. The fireplace was most enjoyable, and provided enough heat in early April that the electric heat was barely needed. We were sorry to need to leave a few days early due to a major storm, but the hosts were most gracious and offered to work with us. We hope to return in the future. Thank you for a great weekend in the scenic Black Hills of South Dakota!

About the host

Hosted by Rita Chapman

Host profile image
Both of us have lived in South Dakota since we were 12.  We raced bicycles (on and off road) for 10 years before settling in Silver City. Tally has participated in the Race Across America - finishing twice and Rita was an Expert Cross Country National Champion in Mountain Biking. Our history of traveling, racing and hosting other poor cyclists at our home influenced us in our purchase of Tallys' fathers cabin business. It has suited us tremendously, we love to meet people and help them have a memorable vacation.

Why they chose this property
