This property is on approximately 4 miles of gravel roads. The roads are very well maintained by the county and there are no steep or difficult hills or valleys to navigate, but it is gravel and in winter months a 4wd vehicle or decent snow tires are recommended.

Beautiful property
very modern, updated, well appointed house. Exceptionally clean, has everything needed for our stay. Multi-generational family used primarily to visit Mt Rushmore, Crazy horse and surrounding areas. When needed, owners very responsive. Loft area with ping pong table was nice for younger people in our party to enjoy. Beautiful space to look at the stars

Peaceful with a nice easy drive
The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

Memorial Day weekend 2024
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin/lodge! The location was perfect for quick trips to site see. We did Rushmore, crazy horse, devils tower, badlands, Custer, wind cave. At the home we saw so many turkeys and deer. The grocery store in hermosa was perfect to get all of your needs and was super close. We played with the games the host provided and built puzzles. It was a wonderful vacation and home. Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

South Dakota Getaway
While remote (as was explained in the description), the property was centrally located if you are visiting the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, or Custer Park. The pantry was partially stocked with non-perishables. The property was comfortable and, in addition to TV, provided corn hole, ping pong, beautiful sunrises and a morning/evening feeding frenzy for the turkeys and deer. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Peaceful and Relaxing
There was an abundance of wildlife close to the cabin. We saw deer many times, several rabbits and a gang of turkeys close by. It’s so quiet and peaceful that when sitting outside, you only hear the wind and birds chirping. The cabin is spacious and beautiful. We had fun playing ping pong and the beds are comfortable. It’s close to Rapid City, Keystone, and Hot Springs. We visited Mt. Rushmore, Custer Park, and the Badlands. Wonderful stay!

Awesome cabin in a magical location!
Our family of 4 (our 2 kids are young adults) loved this cabin! We visited over the long Easter weekend. The wood craftsmanship detail is amazing and we loved the concrete floors. It's in a fabulous location (beautiful sunrises!) and easy to get to great hiking and all the key places to visit in the region: Custer State Park, Black Hills, Crazy Horse, Keystone, Hot Springs, even Spearfish was close enough. Our favorite was hiking Black Elk Peak on Easter Sunday. We wish we had more time and that our days weren't so full so we could enjoy the cabin more. We were out early and back late so we could hike and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Highly recommend for your visit to the area.

Black Hills Gem
This was the perfect place for exploring Black Hills, Rushmore and Custer National Parks. The cabin is off the beaten path, set among rolling fields and woods. The kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials and coffee and a stop at Pops Grocery in Hermosa can get you most of what you need. We enjoyed the selection of books, games and puzzles and eating outside at the picnic table. The cabin was clean, well maintained and the owners are very responsive to questions and concerns. Only a few minor complaints- the beautiful floors are very hard and cold so bring your slippers and the frying pans are in rough shape. Overall, a great place set in an idyllic landscape.
