The cabin was clean, kitchen stocked and bed comfy. The location was great very close to all the area attractions. WiFi was a bit spotty but if it hadn’t rained we wouldn’t have been in the cabin long enough to notice. Highly recommend.

The cabin was very nice. I appreciated all the lawn area and the basketball hoop. We arrived at 12AM and they had the lights on for us. Unfortunately we didn't realize this and thought it must not be our cabin so would have been nice to know they were doing this. Cabin was a little smaller than I expected but it was very comfortable and clean. I loved the front porch, the quiet and the train!
The train traveling out of Keystone. We enjoyed seeing it and it was never noisey.

Its small but cozy and perfect for our family of 4 (my husband and myself, my 19 yr old and our dog). We had a minor hiccup with the door code but they came right over and fixed the issue. The place was clean. The location was awesome and only a mile and a half outside Keystone

We had a great experience at American Pines. It was a bit cramped in the cabin with six people in our group, which we expected,, but there was lots of room outside for the kids to run around and play. The surroundings were beautiful and the location was perfect...so close to all the popular attractions. The cabin had everything we needed...AC, comfortable beds, gas grill, dishes and full size refrigerator. Thank you so much!

Great experience

I stayed with my father in the cabin. We were there to attend my nephew's wedding at Sylvan lake. The cabin was close to Sylvan Lake and many attractions as well. It was our 1st time in SD and was very surprised at the beautiful landscapes. The cabin was fantastic. I didn't see a flaw with anything about the cabin. It was very quiet at night and we saw the occasional animals passing through. I would definitely recommend a stay.

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.

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.

Cozy and clean

The property is very cute, but kind of small. It has a small kitchen, but if you really want to cook, its better to bring your own pans and knives.
