This place was perfect, just far enough away from Keystone and Rapid City to be close but secluded. If you’re looking to get away while you’re on vacation this is the perfect spot.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Black Hills cabin! The property was clean, private, and absolutely perfect for our family of four. One of our favorite parts was relaxing in the hot tub at night and enjoying the incredible star-filled sky.The location was also ideal—close to all of the major Black Hills attractions while still feeling peaceful and secluded. Sarah was a wonderful host, communicated very well, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely come back!

We absolutely loved our stay in this private, lovely house surrounded by beautiful forest. The hosts were wonderful and responded to our many questions right away. We stayed for a month, so managed to take advantage of the entire property. Our grandsons, who visited for a week loved the foosball, corn hole and darts in the garage that was more like a cabin itself. The hot tub was super clean and a great place to sit and watch the deer wander through the property. Really enjoyed the safe firepit (firewood geneously supplied) for our s'mores! We have been renting in the Black Hills for decades and this was one of the very best houses. Well located to town as well as the Hills attractions and hiking. The driveway turn off the highway was a bit daunting, but the only drawback I could mention. We hope to be back. Thank you Sarah and Eli.

Black Hills - Spring Break 2025

My wife and I took our two teenagers to the Black Hills for an impromptu spring break trip. With a quick search, we found this outstanding place to spend four nights. This is the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at, and I would not hesitate to return or recommend it to others. The location, cabin, hot tub and atmosphere are all 5 stars!

Perfect Home, Amazing Host, Great Location!

We absolutely loved staying at Sara's property! She’s a friendly, responsive host and easy to communicate with. The location was perfect—close to so many things we wanted to explore. The home had everything our family needed, with thoughtful touches that made it feel warm and welcoming. We gave 4 stars for cleanliness due to some mold on the master bathroom shower curtain, which we’re sure Sara would have addressed immediately if we’d mentioned it. Overall, we highly recommend this beautiful property and would stay again if in the area!

great black hills get away

The property was very quiet and relaxing with plenty of pine trees around to let you know you were in the hills but very close to highway for easy travel. The cabin was beautifully decorated, cozy, wonderful hot tub for evening soaks, fully stocked kitchen. Sarah was an exceptional host, very quick responses and left welcome gifts that were so thoughtful and caring. I would definitely recommend the cabin and the host.

Fantastic cabin centrally located

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin, it is conveniently located near Custer state park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Rapid City, all the destinations we intended to visit. The cabin is beautifully appointed and had all the amenities that we needed. The hot tub is such a great addition and we enjoyed it a couple of times during our stay. The property is quiet and right off of highway 16. We did a combination of eating in and out and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare our meals. The wood fireplace was great as we stayed mid-November. I cannot recommend this property enough, exactly what we were looking for.
