Perfect Family Cabin with a Playset, Beautiful Views, & Sweet Hosts!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming 1909 South Dakota cabin! It’s full of character with original doors and a peaceful setting with gorgeous views out back that made for the perfect morning coffee spot! The big front yard was perfect for our kids, who loved running barefoot on the soft grass. The huge, unique playset and lookout tower were a highlight. They spent evenings up there watching deer wander by.The yard is clearly well cared for, and we loved relaxing around the gas fire pit making s’mores. After a day of sightseeing, it was so nice to grill dinner and eat outside at the patio table. The location is perfect! It’s tucked away and quiet, yet close to everything we wanted to see and just 15 minutes from Walmart.The owners live next door in a historic cabin of their own and were so friendly and helpful, offering great local tips. Their sweet dogs were a hit with our kids! One especially kind moment stood out: our daughter fell on a trail, and even though there was a first aid kit in the cabin, Tina brought over larger Band-Aids and Neosporin. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really meant a lot.This place is full of charm, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. We’re so grateful for the memories and would absolutely stay again!

Cozy cabin, lots of fun

Very clean, well maintained property! The owners are very helpful and friendly. Our kids loved playing on the playset and there was space for them to run. All necessities are provided as well as a few games. There were not any toys (which was fine for us), but if your kids need something extra to play with, you might want to bring a couple. There are lots of things to do within 15-60 min away. We had a great time!

Amazing cabin!

We could not have found a cleaner, more beautiful, easily accessible, and centrally located place for our five-day vacation in the Mount Rushmore area! The hosts were very friendly, kind, and helpful with suggestions. The cabin is comfortable and sits on a gorgeous property, with wildlife visible and audible all around. By far the best place I have ever booked for my family's vacations! Mount Rushmore, Black Hills, Wall Drug, Rapid City, Badlands, and 2 national caves were all within a 90-minute drive or much less. The hosts could not have been more kind and respectful of us. I think the cabin alone would have made for an awesome trip, with boardgames and grilling and s'mores on the firepit. Thank you hosts! A 10-out-of-10, must-reserve, no complaints stay!

Gorgeous cabin & location! (But bring noisemakers for kid/babies)

We had a lovely stay at this cozy cabin with our 3 littles (5, 3, and 7 months). The hosts were super nice and quick to respond any inquiries. The location was amazing! The older kids loved playing in the treehouse/playground and sleeping in the loft beds. The main bedroom beds were pretty creaky when getting in an out of them but thankfully we had noisemakers for the baby/kids so as not to wake them. Also of note, most of the windows don't have curtains which is amazing for letting natural light in, but might interfere with sleep for the littles. Plenty of space in the bedroom for baby's pack and play. Overall great place!

The perfect house to Explore the Black Hills

This place was really awesome. Our family loved it. We had deer and big horn sheep in the yard. This place is in a great location to explore everything in the Black Hills and we even went up to Devils Tower which was less than two hours. Highly recommend staying here. And the views from the back of the cabin were amazing!

Wonderful experience

This property was perfect for our family. The location is the closest thing to being in The Hills but yet being in Rapid City. It was very clean and had everything you need. The kitchen was well-stocked & bathroom towels were spa-quality. The pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful scenery all around. We will definitely stay here again!

Nice, cozy cabin

The cabin was exactly as stated, very clean, very cozy. Hosts are very friendly. This is a great property for a family, close to many tourist spots. The cabin is very close to the hosts home. We were looking for a private cabin as we were on our honeymoon. If close proximity is not a concern this is a fabulous cabin.

Beautiful

Such a beautiful place. Very private place but also a few houses in the area, you aren’t by yourself. Quiet, little traffic. Lots of wildlife. Deer and Turkey walking through the area. Owner lives near by. Very friendly, gave us our privacy but was available if we needed anything. Grocery store, gas station, most tourist attractions near by, shirt drive. We had everything we needed at cabin. 3 young boys had a lot of fun, playground on property.

Absolutely my favorite VRBO thus far. Very clean, wonderful location and perfect for families. Cute treehouse, clubhouse and swings are right on the property along with a hot tub and nice deck/front sitting area. Very quiet area outside of town. Great communication with the property owner who answered all my questions. The cabin is very charming and will no doubt be in my kid’s memories for years to come.
