A gem in the woods

I’ll start with location, central, all of the point of interest are within a short distance. The area where the cabin is located is peaceful, very quiet and gorgeous. Cabin itself is beautiful, spacious, very comfortable, all you need for a great stay onsite. Very detailed, blends in perfectly with the theme of the area. Beds are really comfortable

Family Reunion

The property is stunning both in natural setting as well as construction. With the ability for short hikes on the property, playing games, reading books, or playing ping pong, the entire family had a great time. My wife was able to make multiple meals with the available utensils, pots, and pans. The central location is ideal for exploring the beauty of the Black Hills.

Great Stay at Black Hills Log Cabin

We stayed a week at the Black Hills Log Cabin. It is secluded and peaceful! We enjoyed the ping pong table upstairs and the king sized beds in each room! Plenty of deer and turkeys on the property and nearby.

Great Cabin

Spent a long weekend in the Black Hills sight seeing and riding the trails on side by sides. The cabin is conveniently located for Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, and needles highway. Would book again if we go back!

Nature lovers' paradise

The overall stay was great. The property is centrally located to a lot of area activities, but off the beaten path, which we loved. It is very clean and maintained, and it felt like home away from home. We would stay again if we were ever in the area.

We had a great stay here. It’s on gravel but they’re nicely maintained roads. It’s the perfect location to all the things we wanted to see. Custer’s Park, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more. The kids loved the ping pong table and the wildlife that came to feed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6.

Great Cabin

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It was quiet, peaceful, and a pretty good location for all the things we wanted to do/see in the area. Kitchen had everything we needed for all the meals we prepared there. I loved the stainless steel pans!! Every VRBO we have rented always has scratched up Teflon pans which are so bad to cook with. The only thing they could consider providing is dishsoap in the kitchen (we could not find any, only dishwasher powder), lamps in the bedrooms, and a shade/curtain for the upstairs bedroom on the door that leads to the patio. Looks like there was one there so maybe it broke recently?

very modern, updated, well appointed house. Exceptionally clean, has everything needed for our stay. Multi-generational family used primarily to visit Mt Rushmore, Crazy horse and surrounding areas. When needed, owners very responsive. Loft area with ping pong table was nice for younger people in our party to enjoy. Beautiful space to look at the stars

Race day

The property was fantastic. We ran the Mount Rushmore half marathon and this property was a mile away from the start line. This place was very well kept and maintained the owners have really made this place amazing always thinking of the guests they have. This was a great place to take the family.
