Great location

Cabin was intimate but perfect for what we needed. Location was great, several restaurants within easy walking distance, gas stations and shops if so desired. Also walking distance to 1880 Train and very comfortable distance to a lot of area attractions. Cooking was not allowed inside but we used the provided grill and brought electric skillets that we plugged in on the deck area. Worked great. Owners were great to work with and met all of our needs. Make sure to stop by their coffee shop in the morning. My daughter loved their shakes.

Absolutely Perfect

From booking to check out the experience was fantastic. The hosts texted us when our room was ready and provided clear instructions on how to access the property. The location is perfect. You can view the Black Hills while you drink a coffee at the coffee shop. You can walk to downtown Hill City, very quaint town. Easy ride to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Deadwood. About two hours to Devil's Tower. Visit South Dakota and stay here. You won't regret it.
