Family getaway

Great quiet location, and an exceptionally clean cabin! Family of 4 with two 13 year olds, and we fit perfect! The cabin and amenities were as described. The host also has UTV rentals right next store, so we rented one, and it was one of the highlights of our stay.

Peaceful cozy stay

My family and I were very pleased with our cozy cabin stay. The cabin itself was welcoming and very well maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the trees and we're happy to see a playground for our younger kiddos to burn off some energy. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodations and would happily stay again.

We absolutely loved our cabin! I wish we could have stayed longer! The space was perfect for us (3 adults and 2 dogs). An added plus was the gas grill provided! We used it almost every night. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Great stay

My husband and I came for our anniversary trip and had a very nice stay! We brought our own UTV and were able to park our trailer easily. Cabin was very clean! Wi-fi was a little spotty, but we didn't need to use it much. Overall very pleased with our stay.

Joy at American Pines

The cabin was clean, well supplied, and located near many of the places of interest in the Black Hills, SD area. The large grass area behind the cabin was perfect for our lab, Gus. It’s a beautiful setting and we were blessed to see white-tailed deer every morning.

Foggy week

Bad weather in Dallas prevented my wife and I from getting to South Dakota, but my sister-in-law and her husband were able to get there. The said the place was perfect, with a great location. The foggy weather prevented them from seeing Mt Rushmore until the day they left. We hope get there soon.

Perfect cottage for girls getaway

This was the perfect size for a couple of college friends catching up after many years! Easy access to Keystone, Hill City, etc. The cottage was clean and comfortable for us. We enjoyed a glass of wine at the picnic table out front and sitting on the porch. Loved hearing the 1880 train as it passed by and waving at the people on board. Quiet and peaceful! Definitely planning on staying here again!
