Great Stay
Our cabin was so cute and very clean! It was very private and had everything we needed. Our hosts left a cute gift basket for us and toiletries in the bathroom. I would definitely stay there again. It’s very close to Mt. Rushmore and many other attractions.

We raised our two sons (now grown) in the the area and together have enjoyed hiking, biking, swimming, boating, camping, fishing, hunting, rock climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, exploring, and so much more of what the Black Hills have to offer.
Jim and Julie have owned the property since 2014. The cabin was custom built in 2015.
