This cabin was perfect for our family. The setting was peaceful and serene and so convenient to everything we wanted to do. The owner/manager was quick to respond to my texts and was really so helpful. The tip to hike to Small Falls Swimming Hole was priceless. There were 12 of us and we had plenty of room in the cabin. The kitchen had all that we needed to prepare great meals. We did find that the shower in the master bath would slow to a trickle if water was being used in other parts of the house. But that was the only issue. I would and have recommend this house to anyone. Our family so enjoyed our 6 days there. Many thanks to Bobbi-Jo Bobby!!!
We had the best time on our vacation. We were gone most of the day, but our kids had a blast at the house whenever we were there. The home was stocked with everything you could need, and the property is beautiful! We were all so sad to leave.
To celebrate my mother's retirement, an immigrant who obtained citizenship 30 years ago, we visited Mount Rushmore. The monument, although designed by Gutzon Borglum, was carved by Luigi del Bianco: an Italian immigrant. It was a great trip to bookend one chapter of her journey. My family chose to stay at this cabin for it's convenient location. My sisters loved the kitchen setup, and my brother enjoyed the grill on the patio. The kids, LOVED the game room, and I'm simply thankful for the enormous space!Checking in and out was a breeze, and our host proved herself exemplary, as her ratings suggested. I will say, driving with an RV to the site was a little challenging at first, but it was doable. Otherwise, I can't say enough great things about this place.
This house was absolutely perfect for us! My siblings, parents and I do a family get together every year and this house may be the best one weâve stayed at yet! We had 5 couples and 2 kids under 12. The rooms and beds were great and comfortable, the loft (which is open, no door, just for those looking!) was great and we couldâve fit more people if we needed to! Everything we needed was there, everything was in working order. The playset outside and the slack line with rings between the trees and the saucer swing hanging from the tree were all perfect for the kids! Plus foozball and toys and games inside! Great outdoor space for tossing the frisbee and football around that we brought. The house was in a very quiet place with plenty of open space but was still an easy 20-30 minutes from all the main tourist attractions like Mount Rushmore, Reptile Gardens, and Bear Country (with no traffic to deal with!). Overall we were very very happy with our stay!
We enjoyed our stay as the house was so centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit. There were enough bedrooms for all of us and my grandkids liked the loft. And the blooming lilac bush was so fragrant!The kids can get loud and the open staircase really carried the sound, but after the first day we adjusted and it wasn't really a problem.
8 adults 7 kids (under the age of 8)Beautiful home, above & beyond what we expected! Great location, wish we would have more time to just stay at the cabin!Added plus: Walmart delivers for just 10
The home was perfect for all of our family. It was so kids friendly that the great grandchildren were easily entertained. It was great to have outside activities to do, too.
My daughters loved the arrangement of the kitchen. Thank you for sharing your home,
We had a couple of different families coming together for a âRushmoreâ Labor Day weekend retreat. Everyone was able to find the property with relative ease. The grounds are taken care of and have a great seclusion aspect. In the morning a great sunrise and beautiful views. The wrap around deck is fantastic for families who have several different age groups. I would highly recommend this property for families that are looking for a quiet retreat. Fantastic communication with the property owners as well!!!
This is a truly beautiful and spacious log cabin--extremely well built and furnished--with gorgeous property and backyard. The only detractions I would note are that the grease from the grill was not clean and it caught on fire. The manager came to clean the grease but didn't finish so we did not get to use the grill at all. We had to cook many hamburgers inside in batches, which was slow and hot. The only other detraction was that the owner wanted us to strip the beds, and also put the trash in our cars and drive them to a trash depository down the road. We do not have vehicles to accommodate trash, though some members of our group put them in there anyways. To me, that was a bridge too far, especially since I paid a hefty cleaning fee. All else was wonderful and we had a lovely time.
This house was absolutely perfect for our family trip. It easily accommodated all 12 of us without feeling cramped. The property owners were so responsive and couldnât be any sweeter! This area of South Dakota had so much to do that we stayed busy for all 7 days that we were there! You wonât regret staying here!
We had a small family reunion with our kids and their families, 11 people ages 8 months to 65 YO. It was a very special weekend and this beautiful property was a big part of it. The property is secluded but convenient to Rushmore, Custer Park, Keystone, and other attractions. It's quiet, beautiful, very tastefully furnished, plenty of service ware, cooking, and grilling amenities. We've stayed in a lot of properties in the hills and this is by far our favorite.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We had 14 people in our group, ranging from an infant to grandparents, and there was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook big group dinners. We loved the huge deck with ample seating, and our kids especially loved playing in the yard and with the games out there. The area was quiet and it felt like we had it all to ourselves. The host and owner were responsive, friendly, and helpful. A couple of the mattresses could stand to be replaced, but other than that, we were very happy!
The house was awesome! I took my kids and grandkids. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortable, plenty of towels and a great view of wildlife! Lots of games to do at the house and close to all areas we went to. Bobby Jo was wonderful and Monte went above and beyond! Would highly recommend this house! We will be back for sure!
Perfect house for our family of 8-grandparents, parents, and grandkids. Plenty of room, clean, well appointed.
The house is within easy proximity to Keystone, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer SP and the two National Parks.
Would definitely recommend!
We chose this house because we wanted three bathrooms and enough space for an active toddler and preschooler. We were not disappointed. The location is close to the kid centered activities we were interested in. Reptiles Garden, Storybook Island, Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake. We did have a couple of longer drives but they were well tolerated by the children. There was a wonderful swing on the property and a slack line my 4 year old granddaughter thought was fun. We had a problem with the water pressure that was resolved within 30 minutes of seeking help. As this was a family vacation and our grandchildren are young we did not do much hiking. Although we did make it around Sylvan lake. On the way home my husband and I drove Needles highway and also went through the Badlands.
May is a wonderful time to visit the area.
We had such a great time..wiffle softball..Rushmore Cave Adventures, Red Rock Golf, Holy Terror Golf. Picnicing, Grilling, and reconnecting with family!!! All a great time!
We had a great family reunion and loved the house. It was close to everything that we wanted to do. Dealing with the property managers was fantastic. Thanks Bobbie Jo and Monte!!
This home was perfect for our family! Not knowing what to expect, we brought too much. This kitchen had everything we needed, including a high chair! The cousins were well entertained with the ninja slack line, swing and large yard. The adults enjoyed the spacious deck and my mom was right at home watering the beautiful flowers! I would highly recommend this home for your Black Hills Vacation.
