Beautiful cabin and location We absolutely loved the location and beautiful drive to the cabin. We received check-in information ahead of time, so we had no problems getting into the cabin upon arrival. The cabin was very clean, and our group of 5 had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen had everything that we needed, and we used the grill each evening. We also saw plenty of turkeys and deer each morning and evening. I highly recommend this location to everyone!

South Dakota Retreat We stayed here for the week. It was quiet and had beautiful scenery. The kitchen items met our needs. Their only thing I would suggest is not to have flannel sheets in the middle of the summer. The house was very clean. It was a great place to come back to everyday after exploring.

Relaxing in the Blackhills Our family visits the Blackhills at least every other year from Wisconsin. Normally we stay in hotels in Custer. This year we decided to try something new and looked at various VRBO options. My 15 year old son ultimately chose your property because, as he put it, "This one looks like South Dakota". Amazing choice. You have a beautiful property. The relaxation factor is immeasurable. Everything was clean, comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed for a perfect Blackhills vacation. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful hub fir all of our Blackhills adventures!

Beautiful home and location We have made 8 trips since 1989 to the Black Hills and alwayscamped. This time we enjoyed the beautiful location, scenery, wildlife from our home in the hills. Everything was within close driving distance. Enjoyed a horse trail ride close by in the hills. We also enjoyed many sites, history, fishing, hiking.Our hosts were very helpful to answer our questions in a timely matter. We will be back.

This is a wonderful location away from the busyness of city life. Our family soaked in the peacefulness of the back-country and the adventures of historic South Dakota!

Great Cabin We stayed for 3 nights, the Cabin is everything as described and worthy of a 10/10. The location is great, 20 min the Rapid City, 20min to Keystone. 1.5hr to Badlands…1.5hr to Deadwood. Peaceful, quiet and just want we were looking for. The only thing I would ask more of would be blankets.
