Cabin was as listed, comfortable, clean and very spacious (2 couples). Very close to Mt Rushmore, Custer, Wind Cave and the hot tub was a pleasure to sit in after a full day of sightseeing. Bridget let us know we could check in early since cleaners were done and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend this cabin for a visit to the Black Hills.

Its a very nice home with a nice view. The younger children were super excited to sleep in the "loft". The home has a nice layout for the whole family to hang out. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas. We had a wonderful weekend getaway!

Had a great stay! Cabin location and amenities are perfect. Close to all the top attractions the Black Hills have to offer. Close to everything with hardware store and food market less than a mile away in Hill City. Back porch faces mountain and a meadow where we watched several deer. Randy and Bridgette are wonderful hosts! Very responsive and even delivered us a pair of binoculars for the wildlife viewing when we forgot to pack ours. Only downside is the short driveway to the cabin is gravel which can be tricky on a motorcycle. Otherwise, wonderful stay and would definitely reserve again!

Great family vacation

We just spent a wonderful week at the cabin with 5 adults and 2 kids. It was a perfect set up. The kitchen had everything you could imagine. The yard was great for the kids to run around, chase balls. Every morning and evening we could see deer in the distance. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

vacation

This was our first big vacation with my side of the family and we had a blast. The cabin was amazing and was perfect for us. There was plenty of space inside where you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. The kitchen was perfect for all of our breakfasts and lunches. We really liked the patio with the awesome view. My kids loved seeing all of the wildlife that would go by towards dusk. It was a awesome experience and one we will not forget!

Nice place overall, if you can accept living with 90s entertainment options. WiFi is shared with the other 6 cabins, and is abysmally slow. You will not be able to stream or work remotely. The master bedroom TV is linked to the living room, so you will have to watch the same channel as what is being viewed there (we never watched anything-- way too complicated to figure out, and I am a software architect). This wouldn't be so bad if the DVD remote batteries had a charge, but they did not (both DVD players had this problem, and were powered by coincell batteries). Other than that, it is a pretty nice cabin
