The log cabin is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is surrounded by trees and very quiet and private. The property is centrally located to most Black Hills attractions.Note: the roads in this entire area are “hilly and curvy”, so it takes extra time to drive to the various attractions, but the views along the way are amazing!

Great Black Hills Cabin

We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.

Great Stay at Black Hills Log Cabin

Peaceful with a nice easy drive

The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

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.

Memorial Day weekend 2024

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin/lodge! The location was perfect for quick trips to site see. We did Rushmore, crazy horse, devils tower, badlands, Custer, wind cave. At the home we saw so many turkeys and deer. The grocery store in hermosa was perfect to get all of your needs and was super close. We played with the games the host provided and built puzzles. It was a wonderful vacation and home. Thank you for allowing us to stay here!
