Peaceful with a nice easy drive
The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

Memorial Day weekend 2024
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin/lodge! The location was perfect for quick trips to site see. We did Rushmore, crazy horse, devils tower, badlands, Custer, wind cave. At the home we saw so many turkeys and deer. The grocery store in hermosa was perfect to get all of your needs and was super close. We played with the games the host provided and built puzzles. It was a wonderful vacation and home. Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

While remote (as was explained in the description), the property was centrally located if you are visiting the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, or Custer Park. The pantry was partially stocked with non-perishables. The property was comfortable and, in addition to TV, provided corn hole, ping pong, beautiful sunrises and a morning/evening feeding frenzy for the turkeys and deer. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
