This house was the perfect place for us to stay while exploring West South Dakota. It was really cute and a great size for my husband and 2 kids. My older daughter enjoyed sleeping in the loft, though it did get warm at night. Not only was it a relatively short drive to Mt Rushmore, Wind Cave NP, and Badlands NP, but it was great being a short walk from Canyon Lake and several trails.

For us all we needed was a clean, reputable place that accommodated our family of 3 and 2 dogs. It went above and beyond that. The hosts were very attentive and responsive to our needs and questions. The cabin was exactly as we had hoped it to be. We recommend it to any and all who seek a base camp with everything you need.

Location of home is a very nice neighborhood with trails starting right across the street. A short walk down the road leads to Canyon Lake/Creek which was a beautiful area. We loved our time exploring the Black Hills each day, so much to do & so much beauty in the area. We really appreciated bringing our dog with. Chad & Tara are very quick to respond if you need anything. Cabin is cute and worked good for my husband, myself and our dog. Thank you, we appreciated our stay!

Great Location

We found the home to be at a very convenient location. It was a 2-3 minute walk from a beautiful park with a pond and large stream. It was also a quick drive to downtown. It was quaint and met our needs as a family of five. The owners are quick to answer any questions.

Cozy cabin close to everything we wanted

We visit the BH often and have selected different locations throughout the region. This was a short trip for a long weekend so we wanted to be closer to RC for convenience. We couldn't ask more for the property, it's cozy, easy to get to anything we needed in RC and beyond. Being in late December the hosts were kind enough to have the fireplace going for us upon arrival too. This will be one of our primary go-to spots again and again.

Great location!

We loved our stay!! The location was amazing, so many people walking and biking on the near paths, we walked our dogs down to the lake / river for some exploring and they loved it. We particularly loved being right in the middle of both Wind Cave and Badlands National Parks as that was one of our main reasons for visiting South Dakota. It was also very quick and easy to get to food and stores as needed. The house itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. Despite being right off the road with a lot of foot traffic too even being in the backyard felt very quiet and private (even in 4th of July!!). I would stay again and absolutely recommend

Cute clean cabin!

This cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location, perfect for seeing all of the popular places in the black hills. The walk to the lake was short and easy! The only thing I would recommend a new mattress for the loft in the near future. The other beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean!

This was the perfect place to stay if you intend to explore the Black Hills of South Dakota. Everything was within a 1 to 2 hour drive for us. Accommodations were great. Owner was very responsive. Neighborhood was clean and bustling with runners and dog walkers. Park around the corner was perfect for an evening stroll after sightseeing. This is a great place.

Can't say enough about positive things about this stay, As someone needing a place that accommodates a pair of dogs, I couldn't have asked for more. An easily accessible yard coupled with a rustic cabin that is both comfy and pet friendly is not an easy find. We had another couple stay with us and we all appreciated the surroundings (beautiful neighborhood surrounded by parks great for both people and dog walking) and easy access to both the Black Hills and and the conveniences of Rapid City. It was particularly nice to not have to drive across Rapid City to access the Black Hills attractions. The cabin was clean, right sized for two couples, and had all the accommodations a traveler, visitor, or tourist could ask for. As someone who finds it hard to relax while away from home, I slept well and quickly felt at home. I contacted Chad and Tara multiple times for clarification about the property, personal requests, and answers about things I simply didn't understand as an infrequent vacationer. They were always very responsive, informative, and kind. I could not have asked for better hosts. If I visit the area again, this property will be on the top of my list for places to stay. 10/10.
