Charming cabin

The cabin was everything we hoped for. It was very nicely designed, clean, extremely well stocked, and private but not uncomfortably isolated. The owner was very responsive and eager to ensure a good stay.

Short Stay

This cute little cabin was perfect for our family of four for our short stay in the Black Hills. We loved exploring the area and playing games in the yard. The cabin was very well-supplied and the kids loved sleeping in the loft.
