Sarah is an amazing host. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of working. The heated floors and the fireplace was an absolute bonus!!! The cabin is the perfect place to go if you want to relax and enjoy nature.
Amazing cabin! Extremely clean, cozy and warmly inviting. Hot tub at the end of our adventurerous days was fantastic! Sarah was very helpful in her suggestions for outings and local food/ grocery shopping. We enjoyed our stay tremendously! Highly recommend!!
We booked last minute and let me tell you, the pictures don’t do it justice. It is decorated to nicely and our kids loved having the upstairs all to themselves. It is close to everything but still secluded and private.
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!
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!
First impression…absolutely beautiful! The cabin, the grounds and the wildlife all around were absolutely amazing! Sarah was an amazing host! She communicated very well and accommodated our request for early check in. The cabin was spotless and very tastefully designed and decorated. We really enjoyed the fire pit table outside and the serenity all around us! Would give this place and host 10 stars if I were able to. Thank you Sarah for everything!
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.

Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Cabin! Thank you for taking such good care of it during your stay! You are welcome anytime!
Property was as pictured and listed. Very private and secluded location. No Verizon cell service was the only down fall. Normally wouldn't care but had a lot of work projects going on so that was a challenge. Hot tub is perfectly located and ready to go.

Hi Bryan,
We are so glad you enjoyed your time. I am sorry about the cell service. There is WiFi that can be used for cell reception for most users because Verizon does not have good coverage in the area around the cabin.
This could help next time!
Thanks! Sarah
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.
