Great place-everything we needed

The home was great for our group of 6. Nice place and had everything we needed. Any questions and all communication was immediate and thorough from the owner. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Black Hills Getaway!

Great cabin on the Wyoming/South Dakota border far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle to get some piece and quiet yet still easily visit all of the attractions in the Black Hills. Great furnished cabin and great and easy to work with owner. My group would choose this property again.

Black Hills R&R Retreat

Our family of four & two dogs stayed at this cabin for 10 days; it was so relaxing and comfortable! It is situated just right outside the western edge of the Black Hills...gorgeous landscape all around. It is close to many attractions if you want to venture out, as well. The property manager, Jenny, was just as sweet as could be...just a gem. The home was well kept and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. If returning to this area, we will stay at this cabin again!

Wyoming getaway

This house was the perfect location for exploring a variety of destinations. We went to Devils Tower, Black Hills, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park (the cave was closed, though, for elevator repairs and has been closed since August 2). The house was very private, which we like, and a very nice property. So quiet day and night and the stars were great.

Great Getaway

Kevin B. Six of stayed at the cabin and we all gave the cabin two thumbs up. After full days of riding SxS's it was nice to get back to the cabin and visit on the spacious deck and have a few drinks. The cabin was very clean and had a very welcoming feel to it. If we are ever in the area again we will not hesitate to reserve the cabin again. Jenny, it was fun visiting with you before our departure.

Spacious Getaway

Just perfect!! 3 floors, bedrooms on each floor. Beautiful porches to sit and relax. Check in was a breeze, Jennifer was the perfect host! It’s close to sightseeing in SD — Deadwood, Sturgis, Spearfish Falls and Mount Rushmore. Great food in Newcastle, WY ~ Isabella’s, Pizza Barn, and Donna’s Main Street Diner. We plan on returning !!

Very nice

The house has everything you can think of. It's the only one we've ever stayed at where you don't need to bring anything. Very comfortable, good location, beautiful countryside. A little hard to find, look for an A-frame with a green roof set back from the road with a red roofed tiny house in front.

Spectacular vacation spot

Jenny raises the standard of hospitality! The cabin is wonderful and is in a beautiful location. Every need has been anticipated and the attention to detail is amazing. Could not have been more comfortable or enjoyed our stay more than we did. If you want to experience a stress free vacation near all the hotspots (such as Mt Rushmore, Bear Country, Crazy Horse, Devil’s Tower, Jewel Cave, etc) you should reserve time at Jenny’s cabin. Three floors with a bedroom on each level and a bathroom on 2 levels created the perfect sleeping arrangements for our group.

Home away from home.

Excellent communication from the start. The check in process couldn’t have been any easier. I travel to the black hills area multiple times a year with my Weimaraner (now 2 weims). Even my girls seemed at ease. Traveling with dogs can be very difficult. It was nice to be able to settle in so effortlessly. Every time we would leave to go hike some trails and come back, they both acted like they do at home! The house is located in a great spot to be far enough from over crowded tourist areas but close enough if you want to go to those areas without too long of a trip. I appreciate the gas grill being located on the porch next to the kitchen as opposed to being on the porch on the front of the house where you sit. Everything was intuitively located to make it easy to cook and clean up. The detachable spray head faucet on the kitchen sink makes it easy to clean up after cooking. Normally where I stay is more of a pit stop between enjoying the black hills and calling it a day. Staying here was more like coming home.

Perfect Location

We had the best time at your home. We are VRBO owners and your place had everything and then some. We owe you some Krusteez and syrup. :-) The location is perfect for trips to Devil's Tower, Sturgis, Deadwood, Spearfish, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and of course, Needles Highway. Truly appreciate the hospitality. Cheers, Philip

Great Stay in WY

My family and our pups stayed at Jenny's lovely cabin before heading south for the eclipse. The cabin is updated and had everything we needed, including a fully stocked kitchen. Our dogs were happy, too! It was nice to be greeted by Jenny when we arrived - a rarity these days with rentals. She gave us a tour and offered us beverages, and was available if needed (since her motor home is across the driveway), though it still felt very private. We were so comfortable and loved the wrap-around deck. We look forward to staying here again the next time we are passing through.

Black Hills Retreat

Five of us, three adults and two teenagers, stayed six full days in this home a way from home. The three bedroom home was a perfect size for us and had everything you could possibly need. We used this as our base camp, making different itineraries for each area of the Black Hills we planned to visit. We in joyed our travels to and from each day, the scenery is GORGEOUS! We panned for gold, even found a few flakes, hiked mountain trails and saw a herd of Elk, down a back road, very close to our rental home. Had a great time, from the wildlife loop in Custer, gambling on the Craps table in Deadwood, tree top rope course / zip line in Keystone, 1880 train from Hill City and of course Crazy Horse / Mount Rushmore. Don’t forget Rapid City, the Journey Museum is FANTASTIC!!! Fort Hayes, Hwy 16 Rapid City, has the Buffalo Hunt ride, the kids loved it. Also the original building form Dances With Wolves movie set is there, very interesting. Wished we had another week in our Black Hills Retreat home away from home! The Orloske’s

We highly enjoyed our stay at Jennifer’s house in the Black Hills. Check in was very easy, even at night we found the place without any trouble. It is far from any town, which was fine with us…we were happy to get away from things and see the stars at night. My kids enjoyed riding the bikes down the driveway to see some horses, and they loved sleeping in the loft. The place is very well-stocked with anything you could possibly need. The welcome basket was much appreciated :) For anyone looking to get away, though still right off a major road and close enough to some beautiful sights, I would highly recommend Jennifer’s house.

Best Place

The property was beautiful. The hostess was incredible and was very attentive addressing all of our needs. Thew location was perfect for our daily trips to Black Hills National Forest, Custer State Park, Jewel and Wind caves, and Devils Tower. The home was fully stocked to allow easy meal prep, had comfortable beds, and the host family thought of all of the needs. Sitting on the deck at night was amazing star gazing as well as the occasional wildlife visitor. I cannot recommend this home enough as we look forward to visiting this site again,

Great getaway with all the Extra touches!

My sons and I love to take a trip north to South Dakota every summer. This year we wanted to visit Devils Tower and decided to check out the western entrance to Spearfish Canyon. What an excellent decision! This home away from home is well stocked, very clean and comfortable enough to feel like visiting a family house. Close enough to everything that we wanted to see, quite enough, uncomfortable enough to get good rest and a well stocked kitchen to make food that we love. We had a wonderful stay!

Quick Getaway

We enjoyed our time here. It was a short escape from everyday life. We visited Hill City, Deadwood & Custer so it was central to those locations. Even though the highway is nearby, it was still very quiet and relaxing.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect getaway location for our family. We wanted something comfortable and away from light pollution so that we could do some stargazing and astrophotography. The cabin was close enough for us to see the sights in the area, though we opted to stay in for the majority of our trip.
