Cozy cabin close to everything we wanted

We visit the BH often and have selected different locations throughout the region. This was a short trip for a long weekend so we wanted to be closer to RC for convenience. We couldn't ask more for the property, it's cozy, easy to get to anything we needed in RC and beyond. Being in late December the hosts were kind enough to have the fireplace going for us upon arrival too. This will be one of our primary go-to spots again and again.

Peaceful/Great Location

We had an amazing time staying at the Black Hills Basecamp! The property is complete with all of the essentials that you and your Dogs need (Very nice fenced in yard to keep the Pups Safe). The walking trails that run along the Stream/Pond are so Beautiful and peaceful for an evening walk after a long day of sight seeing. It was fun to see the Mule Deer walking through the Neighborhood when you walk out the front door. All of the Major attraction are within an hour drive or less. The Hosts are very nice and super responsive if you have any Questions during your stay. 10/10 Recommend this place to enjoy your Rapid City/Black Hills Vacation!!

Great Location

We found the home to be at a very convenient location. It was a 2-3 minute walk from a beautiful park with a pond and large stream. It was also a quick drive to downtown. It was quaint and met our needs as a family of five. The owners are quick to answer any questions.

Nice place near Black Hills attractions

We enjoyed our stay at this unit near the Black Hills. It is in Rapid City, close to many restaurants and grocery stores, about 10-15 minutes from many of the major local attractions, and about 30 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and other Black Hills draws. It was extremely hot during our stay, and the AC units worked pretty well to keep the bedrooms and common areas cool and comfortable. The unit is cozy, and the loft area worked OK for our 6 & 8 year olds to sleep, but it is up a steep ladder within one of the bedrooms. We didn't cook a lot in the unit, but it did have a good stock of kitchen wares. The bathroom is also cozy but had a good shower and washer/dryer built-in, which we appreciated. Access was easy and the hosts were great at communicating. The unit was a very good value during peak season and right before the Sturgis rally!

Cute clean cabin!

This cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location, perfect for seeing all of the popular places in the black hills. The walk to the lake was short and easy! The only thing I would recommend a new mattress for the loft in the near future. The other beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean!

Name says it all!

This was the perfect place to stay if you intend to explore the Black Hills of South Dakota. Everything was within a 1 to 2 hour drive for us. Accommodations were great. Owner was very responsive. Neighborhood was clean and bustling with runners and dog walkers. Park around the corner was perfect for an evening stroll after sightseeing. This is a great place. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here!
