The cabin was well stocked and furnished. It was located in a great location, quiet and private. Lots of activities to do such as the many trails for riding and other activities such as visiting Deadwood and Custer State Park. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Charming cabin

The cabin was everything we hoped for. It was very nicely designed, clean, extremely well stocked, and private but not uncomfortably isolated. The owner was very responsive and eager to ensure a good stay.
