Amazing Cabin Retreat
Either the best or 2nd best place we ever stayed at. Very clean. Cozy. Peaceful. Hosts were absolutely incredible. Enjoyed the care package of treats and coffee. Morning coffee on the patio listening to the wind blow through the trees or the evenings next to a fire looking at the stars….priceless. We will be back!!!

Cabin in the woods
The cabin was nice a cozy. Very comfortable. We were two couples and the cabin had two en-suite bedrooms so it was perfect. The host lives near the cabins and was always around and very friendly. Great location to visit Keystone, Nt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. Keystone was 5 minutes away. Had a great visit.

Smith stay
The cabin we stayed in was amazing. The furnishings, the atmosphere, and the amenities were the best we've seen in previous stays at other locations. The surrounding environment was peaceful, quiet, and had an abundance of wildlife. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had. We were able to tour the hosts' yak farm which was very interesting. We highly recommend staying at this property. Close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and surrounding communities.

The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Black Hills. There were so many extras at the cabin, from the welcome basket, to the yellow rubber ducky for the kids for bath time. Everything in the cabin had a purpose. We had an excellent stay!

Perfect location & wonderful cabin experience
The cabin is in the perfect location to explore the Black Hills highlights like Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, the Badlands and Devil’s Tower. This cabin is also perfectly appointed and sized for two couples or a family. It was extremely clean and very cozy. We also appreciated the thoughtfulness of the hosts to provide a welcome basket of treats upon arrival. There was also a great assortment of spices and other essentials like coffee for the first AM. Definitely would come back and recommend to others.

Beautiful Property Close to Mt Rushmore and other activities.
We had an excellent stay at this property. It was very clean, very comfortable for our party of six and had so many nice personal touches prepared by the owners. Our only disappointment was we were only able to stay two nights. The location was great as well. It was semi-secluded and close to Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore and Keystone. Checkin and Checkout instructions were clear and easy to follow and the owners were very responsive! We would definitely stay again. Thank you Julie and Jim!

Perfect cabin for 2 couples! We got to see an amazing rainbow, family of deer and turkeys. Would be super peaceful if Cosmos place wasn’t across the street but they close at 5 so quiet after that. Owner was super quick at responding to any needs we had. Weather was cool enough we could have fires in our personal pit several nights. We really enjoyed it!!
