Very nice property away from the city!

We had our yearly family vacation here this year and we couldn’t have been more relaxed and happy in this cabin away from home! It is far enough away from the city to relax but close enough to do everything we had on our list❤️

Great place. Enjoyed our stay. No complaints. Drive way is very steep but we knew this prior to staying. Had to take a run at it to make it all the way up, but made it. 🙂 Great location if you're looking to ride some trails.

Very nice cabin in the Black Hills

Three of my family members and I stayed in this spacious cabin situated in a beautiful location. The cabin was clean and well equipped. Check in and check out was no problem. The host was responsive to the one question that I had. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a quiet location in the woods that is conveniently located near the things to see in the Black Hills.

Family Vacation

The home was very nice, everything was clean and worked. The description was accurate except I was expecting the kitchen to be on the main floor not upstairs, but that was not a problem. The view from the deck was excellent. No need to contact the property manager at all, definitely enjoyed the stay, would do it again.

Nice place to stay…

We stayed here to go trail riding. The property is close to the trails. It was clean and worked out very well for our group. Communication was very easy with the host and service was great when we needed it. Like when our propane ran out for the grill they got us another right away.

Cabin deep in the woods

Cabin was miles away from main road. We wanted something quiet and we got that. It’s great for little kids. Our four and one year old had a fun time at the cabin. It was a very easy stay. The cabin had everything we needed. It’s a great cabin for everyone!!!

Black Hills Get-A-Way w/ Family & Grandkids

Nice place, Very peaceful and Pine trees secluded. Other houses around but not real close, all in all very private. Home was very clean with plenty of necessities. About 3 miles off of Hwy 385 on a good gravel road. (Not an issue for us) Just minutes north of Hill City and close to Sheridan Lake. Excellent hiking trails there with great views around the lake. Great time was had by all.

Cabin in the Black Hills

A lot of thought went into making this cabin user friendly. It seemed that the owner thought of every small detail, and was very helping in completing last minute details. Directions to the cabin were clear. Our party was four adults, and the space was more than adequate for adults interested in hiking and visiting the Black Hills. Located in a wooded area, it was very quiet.

Good Stay

Property was as expected. It was off the beaten path, but within an hour drive of everything we did each day, just plan ahead so you don't have to run back and forth throughout the day. Kitchen had everything needed, extra nice to have ice made for us upon arrival. The beds were comfortable. We didn't use the Murphy or couch bed. The driveway is VERY steep, but a beautiful area. Washing and fully drying all the towels was inconvenient as we would have liked to use the bathroom within an hour of leaving and had no towels, maybe a hand towel could remain in each bathroom?

ATV trip

Nice property and VRBO. We had 6 staying there comfortably. The kitchen is small but did have variety of essentials for prepping/cooking meals. Outside hydrant has a split pipe so does not work. We had no cell service. Roads getting there are switchback and steep. We had long trailers with all our ATV/UTVS so it was a little challenging. Would not like it if it was muddy or was raining. There was an area to be able to park the trailers and is specific with signs for that VRBO address but not at the site itself. The driveway is STEEP so be prepared. Getting to trails was easy enough. Some pretty views and very peaceful. Overall a good stay.

Nice cabin deep in the woods!

We stayed at this property for fall break with our 2 teens and their friend. It was clean with 2 nice bathrooms, nice fluffy towels, good beds, and a nice sofa bed, plus a Murphy bed for an extra or two. We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is dated, but has all you need. We rented UTVs from Nemo which was very close, as well as being in the middle of the north and south tourist attractions. Which was nice. It is super dark and there are very twisty roads to get there. Also, you do need all wheel drive or turn off you traction control in order to get up the driveway. Be prepared for spotty WiFi service and one TV is not compatible with a fire stick, only VHS options. The kids used their computer to stream a movie downstairs. The deck was nice to relax on. Our only suggestion would be more lights. It is very dim at night. We played cards and it was hard to see. And maybe a couple more night lights in the bedrooms. We live in town and are not used to it being so dark😁 thanks for a great weekend away!

Great location about 40 minutes from Rapid City

I live in the country so this was a great location and what im used to. The driveway is very steep like others have said, but i was able to make it just fine in 2 wheel drive in a suburban. My father in law made it with his Monte Carlo. The wifi internet was inconsistent and we weren't able to connect all of our devices. Im a Tech person, but i didnt have any time during our stay to figure out why as we had a busy itinerary and barely spent any time at the cabin. We loved the fact that the kitchen is well stocked with plates, cups, silverware, and even spices needed to prepare meals. The A/C works great and we all stayed very cool in June. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and main common area is on the 2nd floor along with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The Murphy bed, hide-a-bed sofa, 1 bedroom, and other bathroom are on the lower level. Lower level common area TV only has dvd player and dvd player with no cable or streaming capability. The TV upstairs has an Amazon fire stick as the only way to receive service. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the peace and quiet of our cabin stay.
