Peaceful Wilderness Retreat

Our Family really enjoyed our time in the Black Hills . The cabin’s location was a short distance from all the places we wanted to see. The only drawback, at least initially, was the slow and spotty internet connection. However, the host provided lots of games to play and it was nice to see our kids enjoying nature and unplugging from their devices . Also, the other cabins were far enough away that we had privacy and we felt totally submerged in the wilderness and beauty of the Black Hills . If your looking for a place to unplug and unwind this is the perfect spot!

Family friends vacation

We love the Black hills! We were excited to find a place close to all the attractions we wanted to do. Your house was the perfect location. Though I get nervous on winding roads, everyone else in our group loved it. It is a bit of a trek up to get to the house, but the serene atmosphere was worth the drive. The home itself was perfect for our group of 7. The kids were excited they each got their own bed. It was wonderful having the large fridge and 2 bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom is rather small and hard for adults to use but we made do! Thanks for a beautiful, relaxing place for us to come home to after long days of exploring!

Eat on the deck to soak in the forest air

This home was our base for almost a week of exploring the Black Hills. 3 generations of family enjoyed themselves. The little touches of staples in the kitchen, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, the games (electronic and old school), the videos (not that you'll be in the house much because most of our time spent at the cabin was on the deck (or sleeping) , BBQ tools and grill....a lot of thought was put in to this place. Yes the upstairs bathroom is an adventure for tall people, but totally doable. And memorable. Pax, Cooper, and Shilo liked to visit the kids but they went home when told. We had to go say goodbye to Pax before we left because the kids were in tears about leaving without saying goodbye.

A group of ten ladies stayed and had a wonderful time. Cabin is in a very quiet area. Cabin’s kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pans, microwave, coffee pot, stove and dishes. Washer and dryer available. Two bathrooms, with a very small one being upstairs. Can’t be too tall to use the upstairs shower. :) if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of town- this is your place.

Peace and comfort

Our family of adults and teens all enjoyed this peaceful and comfortable cabin. The beds are comfortable, and the space was cozy and great for conversation while allowing room for everyone to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in our hammocks just outside. It’s close to both Pactola and Sheridan lakes, so our fishermen stayed busy. Everything about our stay went smoothly and we would easily go again.

“Highly recommend this lovely cabin! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the owner- very clear and easy check-in and check-out information. The cabin location is in the center of the Black Hills National Forest and was perfect for our needs and where we planned to go each day. Wi-Fi was excellent. We hope to stay again!”

Very Disappointed

Very dark and dingy! We found blood on the linens!! Dining room table was dirty with syrup. We wanted some fresh air so we tried to open the windows but found they were painted shut. The paint on the deck was chipping off and not very safe. We noticed one of the corners of the deck was rotted and one of the support posts underneath was not even connected to the footing.Needless to say we left after only one night for health and safety reasons. We do not recommend renting this property
