Veterans day getaway

We were traveling to Rapid City to watch our daughter perform in a music competition. We had a great time at Hakuna Matata and look forward to staying again. The cabin was clean and comfortable and we had plenty of room to hang out. It was also close to the sights and it was great to come back to after hiking to the top of Black Elk Peak.

Wedding weekend

The property is within walking distance from the Diamond Spur Event Center which was super convenient during the wedding weekend. The house was exactly as described, just perfect. The map on VRBO makes it appear it’s located on the backside of the neighborhood but it’s not. You can see the event center from the front porch and it’s located right next door to another property we rented for the weekend, the new modern lodge.

Great house in good location

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our 9 day stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and in a good location to drive to all the places we wanted to visit (Bad Lands, Devils Tower, Custer State Park, needles highway, Mount Rushmore, Windcave National Park). Our groups of 6 older adults highly recommend it.

Perfect fit

Hakuna Matata was the perfect fit for my family of 5! Great location for exploring the southern hills and enough room for everyone to relax in the evenings. It was so nice to sit in the hot tub after sending the kids to bed - vacation with kids with some perks for Mom and Dad too!

Great House in Great Location

This VRBO was great! Stayed here with my family (including young 3 kiddos). Place was clean, in the perfect Black Hills location (quick drive to all the outdoor activities), and had all the kitchen supplies we needed to cook meals in. Property manager was very helpful/responsive to our questions. Check in and check out was smooth.

Beautiful getaway!!

This cabin has it all, plus a hot tub! We had a wonderful quick trip to the hills. Close to everything you need, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Keystone, Deadwood and of course Hill City and Rapid City. The cabin itself was perfect for our family. It has all you need for cooking and beautiful spacious rooms for everyone. Really enjoyed the big screens in all rooms for the end of the day relaxing as well as the hot tub. With two bathrooms as well for getting ready for our days. Would definitely stay again!! Great for a family or to bring your friends! Thank you for our relaxing stay!!

Great House!

This is a great vacation rental. It's very centralized to all the attractions. The house has everything you need: beach towels (for the hottub), crockpot, and extension cords. If they don't have what you need, Blanche was more than willing to find it for you. We saw deer every morning and evening. All 7 of us loved this house.

Great location and house

This property was great. Clean and well appointed. Location was perfect for my husband who spent a lot of time fishing at Pactola Lake and close to Custer State Park, Hill City and the town of Custer. Access to garage was helpful because it rained while we were there. Welcome text from Blanche (host) was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.
