Cozy home base for our trip

We enjoyed our stay here, it was perfect for our roadtrips out each day. Quiet and clean, and in such a beautiful area! We saw deer strolling up through the yard each day, and wild turkeys one of the mornings. It's secluded but easy access to the main highway. The cottage is well stocked with practically everything you need!

Gold In Them There Black Hills

Found Cave Cottage would be a better moniker for this vacation rental; it is exceptional!A warm and cozy place with a back porch view of a serene meadow. Secluded and peaceful but close to the major attractions in the area. I highly recommend this charming accommodation for travelers to the Black Hills.

Not good

The cottage was perfect. We loved the porch. Our bikes were heavy, the road to the driveway had big ruts in it from the rain, hard to drive on a motorcycle. We had to turn 90 degrees on a hill to get a run up the gravel driveway. It would have been nice if both the driveway and road to the driveway were paved with asphalt

We stayed in the cabin from 7/25 to 7/28/24. The cabin is very cozyand well maintained. Nice to come back to a quiet place, after a day of seeing all the sites in the area. We never had to contact or meet Barbara the manager. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

The apartment was very clean and cozy. It is out in the country away from the tourist area. We loved sitting on the back porch and relaxing. Very pretty view and quiet. Would definitely recommend this place to stay during a visit to the black hills. We absolutely loved it!

It was a wonderful stay. The cabin is by itself & pretty private which we really liked. It could have had a few more pans and cooking utensils but we made due. The bed seems to be lower on the headboard end again we made due. Excellent place to stay.

Perfect property!

This was the perfect location for us to enjoy our stay in the hills. We appreciated the simple accommodations that met all of our needs. There was a small maintenance issue during our stay which Barbara addressed immediately. We enjoyed watching the deer from the patio and hearing the rooster in the distance every morning. We hope to return to this property over the next few years as long as it is available!
