The cabin was exactly as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was a breeze and the property manager was very responsive with any questions we had. If you are looking for a place that allows you to be away from others, this is your place. Very peaceful and quiet. Just want the Dr. ordered for our family.

Didn't want to leave it was so nice
We had three generations of our family staying from ages 6 to 65 and this house was perfect for us. It was so clean and the views are spectacular. It was also so close to the trails and Deerfield Lake which so convenient. We drove our side-by-sides everyday and loved hoping on the trails so close to the Alpine Lodge.

Amazing property!!!
The cabin was more than we could have asked for. A group of 7 of us with 4 motorcycles stayed here for the Sturgis Rally. Greg was an amazing host and communicated so quickly when we had questions. The location is beautiful, the cabin had everything you could need, and 7 adults had more than enough room. Having motorcycles on the gravel road was pleasantly easy! The road is well maintained and having access to one side of the garage was a great selling point! Highly recommend this property & host! If you are ever wanting to stay here for the Rally it’s a perfect location puts you in the center of everywhere we wanted to ride! Thank you Greg for an amazing experience!

A great place in the mountains
This was a great place to stay for our group. We loved the neat view and the hot tub was clean and very peaceful to sit in during the evening. The kitchen was really well stocked and the dishes and things were clean. We felt like the place was a good deal and had a cozy feel to it. The only complaints might be the lack of climate control in the upstairs bedroom with the bunk bed. It got hot and with the door closed it was a bit of a challenge to keep cool without placing a fan near the screen door. Once we did that the cool air would feed in and cooled the room well. It was certainly not a deal breaker. The owner answered our text quickly when we had a question and was easy to communicate with. Overall great place.

Loved this stay
The home was beautiful and so comfortable for our large family. After a busy day in the mountains this was a wonderful place to return to relax. Greg was available when we needed him. The home is spacious and great for our large family to spread out at the end of the day. We would recommend this home. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful remote cabin
Greg was an excellent host! We were low on towels and some other supplies and he brought them to us all the way from Rapid City! This cabin is well situated for anyone who wants to ATV in the black hills. We did that one day and it was a lot of fun! Flag Mountain is an awesome place to stop! Be aware it is 30min from Hill City and any other Mount Rushmore area type activities you want to do. It’s kind of a long drive but is very scenic! Hiking up the ridge behind the cabin was also fun! We even saw some elk one morning. Very peaceful!

Our first night we all sat on the long porch and watched as a storm rolled into the area. We all loved the porch, the family room, kitchen, dinning and bedrooms. There was space to wonder and explore, kids to play, enjoy a bonfire and s’mores. The view was beautiful and the nights cool. One does need to watch for sudden weather changes in the Black Hills.

Our stay was peaceful and enjoyable. We loved the quiet surroundings and getting away from it all. While the house is a bit of a drive from Hill City it is a scenic drive that we didn’t mind making. The house and views are as described and the coffee is delicious! Would recommend to those looking for a relaxing South Dakota getaway.

The house and property were beautiful. After a day full of hiking, we enjoyed gathering on the porch and talked about our day as we watched the sunset. Then we relaxed in the hot tub and looked at the stars. We had 2 deer visit every night. That was so cool. Loved the location and the house. We will be back!

Peaceful Getaway!
Our family had a great time at the cabin. We didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub or fire pit because our days were full of so many other activities. The cabin has three levels. That was perfect for our two kids, they each had a floor for their own children. The little grandkids enjoyed the deck and playing games that where at the cabin. The cabin is very well supplied with anything you might need. They are asking to go back and it hasn’t been a week since we left! Thank you for sharing your home! Loved It!
