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

Great, cute little cottage that had most of what we needed for a few night stay to explore the western part of the state. It has an adorable patio out back that felt private and was very quiet.

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.

The little cabin was perfect for us. Extremely clean and cozy. The little decorating touches made it very homey. The 2 eight-point bucks in the front yard added to the experience.

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!

Quite and lots of nature
Barbara was very nice and friendly and met us, which I loved. Some people state they rent to meet people from around the world but then you just speak to them through the portal and never actually meet them. Then you know it is just for the revenue. Barbara was very responsive to our needs. The property was clean and comfortable with all you need for short - medium stay, because you have a kitchen section with a regular gas stove and can actually cook if you want. 12 minutes from Keystone. 20 minutes from Custer Park and Mt. Rushmore. Would definitely book again. Thank you Barbara.
