Great stay for the family

The house and location are great, the only area that would be better is to have a kitchen better stocked with dishes and cooking pans/utensils.

We had a great stay here. It’s on gravel but they’re nicely maintained roads. It’s the perfect location to all the things we wanted to see. Custer’s Park, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more. The kids loved the ping pong table and the wildlife that came to feed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6.

A gem in the woods

I’ll start with location, central, all of the point of interest are within a short distance. The area where the cabin is located is peaceful, very quiet and gorgeous. Cabin itself is beautiful, spacious, very comfortable, all you need for a great stay onsite. Very detailed, blends in perfectly with the theme of the area. Beds are really comfortable

Great Black Hills Cabin

We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.

The property was fantastic. We ran the Mount Rushmore half marathon and this property was a mile away from the start line. This place was very well kept and maintained the owners have really made this place amazing always thinking of the guests they have. This was a great place to take the family.
