Darling cabin in the woods
Such a darling place with fun personal touches! The kids loved the surprise of finding ingredients to make s'mores! They were quick to respond then gps lead us astray and incredibly helpful when my teen son left his earbuds

The good, bad & the squeaky
This was an excellent place to stay for our 3 day trip around the Badlands & Black Hills. The cabin was exceptionally clean and neat. Everything was provided that the listing claimed. We had a bit of trouble finding the particular cabin as it was attached to another...the property contact answered my phone call promptly & directed us easily. The only bad things were that there was no light over the shower stall, so it was quite dim, and there was a squeaky spot in the floor that you inevitably hit if you got up to use the bathroom in the night. To me, those are two very minor items and I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area.

Adorable little cabin
We had a great time exploring the hills. The cabin was in a quiet area with other cabins. There was a nice seating area and fire pit outside. The cabin was roomy enough for 4 adults. George the cat was a hit too.

So Wonderful!
We stayed at cabin Minnesota Ridge (I think was the name.) We couldn't have asked for much more, really. Fully stocked is true, even coffee was provided. Gas grill, fire pit, outdoor table and chairs. Inside space Very spacious, 4 burner stove and small oven, full refrigerator. Space between cabins for privacy. Quiet. Wild turkeys and deer visited us each night; also a very sweet cat named George who I almost put in my car to take home, he was so nice. My questions were answered right on the spot. Quite close to Keystone. If I had one suggestion, it would be to have more than one ice cube tray. Other than that, just perfect.

Peaceful Cabin
This was a wonderful little cabin. There was a fire pit and fixings should you want to make s’mores. I sat on the patio in the evening to watch wild turkeys and deer play in the forest. Location was just a short drive from Keystone and nearby attractions.

Wonderful Wild Turkeys
Can do without the proselytizing. Ingredients for s'mores along with fire set-up was a nice touch. Beds were good; sofa in living room was great! Site was a bit remote, but if one is staying there with a desire for privacy and quiet contemplation, it is a good spot. Getting to and from Rushmore, Custer State Park, etc., a little more challenging, especially at night or late evening.

Great location and comfortable
The location close to Mt Rushmore was wonderful. The beds were comfortable and it was a quiet peaceful area. Couple of complaints would be having an issue with the stove not working, but it got fixed the next day. Mid stay it seemed like the toilet was leaking when you flush. The vents, etc were pretty dirty and the grill was in really rough shape. Was hoping for the quality to be a bit better given the price we paid.

Top notch
This cabin was amazing! A great set up for the two of us couple traveling together. It was clean, easy to find, and was nice and quiet. The welcome paper with info was very helpful, and the s’mores makings left for us was so thoughtful. I had missed the instruction on how to get into the cabin in my email, and I didn’t realize it until a few hours before we got there. I got such a quick response, probably less than 5 minutes. Customer service was really top notch!

Cozy cabin close to Mt Rushmore and Custer Park
This is a very cute and cozy cabin. The location is ideal for visiting Custer Park and Mt Rushmore. The property itself has several cabins all tucked into the woods and is very quiet. The cabin has everything you need for a short stay and is nicely decorated. The beds are very comfortable. They do have a pool that we did not use as the weather was too cold yet. We would definitely stay here again. My only recommendations would be a light for the shower.

Fabulous Black Hills accomodation
We loved staying here! The cabin turned out to be even roomier and nicer than we expected from the photos on the site - it was super clean and decorated very tastefully. The beds were very comfortable. The location is just perfect - right in the center of the Black Hills, very close to Keystone, but just far enough down a little country road to feel like we were in the middle of the forest. It was peaceful and cozy - we would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

What a pleasant surprise for my first VRBO getting to be in this great place. The property is peaceful and beautiful, the host kind and just a good feeling all around the property. Kitchen had ingredients for smores, and thoughtful extras like extra fans if needed. Just a great stay and regretting not booking whole trip here.

Awesome place to stay
I highly recommend this place for families. It served as a great jumping off point for our family of 5 (kids 5,7,10) exploring the Black Hills, just minutes from Mt Rushmore. Plenty of space for the kids to explore around the property and even made friends while there! Super easy check in process and nicely appointed cabin. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back this direction. Do yourself a favor and book here to enjoy the peace and quiet of this place!
