Good location to sites! Didn’t like road noise, in a peaceful setting. Carpet in downstairs bd was very dirty and old. Didn’t realize that loft upstairs would be hearing noise from common areas downstairs. Wished there was more kitchen cooking area and utensils. Playground equipment and fire pit was awesome. Gas grill very old. It worked but the grill grates were rusty and flaking off. I know a lot of reviews were great, but seemed like it was due to location and not the cabin itself. The hosts are super and very accommodating.

Cabin perfect to explore the southern Black Hills

Excellent cabin location in the southern Black Hills. Jim and Crystal are excellent hosts. Thank you so much for your service and your recommendations for sites to see. We also loved driving on Hwy 2 in Nebraska, thanks to your knowledge of that scenic Sandyhills roadway.

Perfect!!

Perfect for what we needed. It was a cute cabin with plenty of space for our small family of 5. Close to the attractions we were interested in but nestled in the Black Hills in the perfect location. If we ever come back we would definitely stay here first!!

Wonderful vacation

If I could give 10 stars I would! Beautiful, clean, comfortable property. The communication with the hosts was quick and helpful in making our decision of where to stay! The welcoming atmosphere of the host is sincere! I appreciate the area pointers / recommendations and we had zero problems during our 3 night, 4 day stay. We would definitely stay again.

Perfection

This was the perfect place to stay for 3 nights. The cabin was adorable, super clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and the host was super sweet! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, we even stayed in one night and grilled steaks for dinner on the gas grill they provided. Peaceful and relaxing. When we go back to the Keystone area we will definitely try to stay here again!!

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
My biggest issue with this property is, that it was advertised as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath in Expedia. It is actually one bedroom with a loft. The stairs to the loft are steep and narrow. Neither couple wanted the loft due to hip or knee issues, but someone had to take it. The issue with the loft actually ended the friendship. I should have contacted the manager, but there is no internet on property. Could not even place a call unless you left premise. There was significant mildew on both shower curtains. After 3 days of staying, the stench of mildew was so overwhelming, we couldn’t have stayed another night. Broken blinds were brought to managers attention so I wouldn’t be charged. She reported she was already aware. Would not recommend or stay again.

Great little cabin

Cabin was perfect for our family (including our dog) when visiting Mt. Rushmore. It was clean and cozy and came well equipped. The owners, who live on the property, are very friendly. It’s worth noting they do want your dog crated when you’re not there, so we just took our dog with us on outings.
