Great cabin
Loved how spacious that cabin was for the family. There was enough space for all of us to be together or have space individually. It wasn't too far from town for those grocery runs. Park was nice for the kids. We enjoyed having a sauna and hot tub right close by. Somethings that would be nice is have the cupboards cleaner and a few more cooking dishes/utensils. Otherwise, our family enjoyed the area.

Adventure and Relaxation at Your Doorstep: Our Experience at a Prime Vacation Spot
Our stay at this property was nothing short of fantastic! Nestled in the mountains and right on the waterfront, the location provided us with breathtaking views and easy access to nature activities like hiking and fishing. The proximity to Custer State Park—just a five-minute drive away—allowed us to easily explore its stunning landscapes and view the native wildlife. We also enjoyed quick trips to Sylvan Lake and the monumental Mount Rushmore, both within a short drive, adding a mix of serene beauty and historical awe to our visit.The property itself is wonderfully accommodating for families, with a kitchen fully stocked with all the necessities, a playground for kids, and a game room that was a hit with all ages. We were particularly impressed with the range of amenities that catered to every need—from a well-maintained garden and an inviting outdoor area complete with a barbecue grill and firepit for evening gatherings, to the comforting indoors equipped with a smart TV and a variety of games. The inclusion of a washing machine, dryer, and a fully equipped office space was incredibly convenient, ensuring that all our needs were met, whether for leisure or occasional work tasks.Safety was clearly a priority, with a carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit all readily accessible, which gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. The property’s pet-friendly policy also meant that our furry friends could join in on our family getaway, m

What a great trip and great place to stay!
We were very pleased with our cabin! It was super clean and very well laid out. My only concern was the poor pots and pans we had to use so we quickly alerted the owners and they promptly provided us with newer pots and pans we could use. Everything else was great!

Not quite like we hoped!
The house was nice but the property itself was a mess. They were trimming trees all over the property and did not pick up any of the debris/fallen branches the whole 5 days of our stay.
We had 12 of us staying in one home and needed 2 bathrooms but the bathroom on the main floor (where my parents, one who had a stroke and can’t walk very well) had issues. The knob fell off causing us to go the first 3 days with only 1 shower.
We only had 1 hotel size shampoo and conditioner, 4 rolls of toilet paper and 4 very small garbage bags for our 5 days on site with 12 people. Needless to say we had to go shopping.
The kids did enjoy fishing in the pond and using the hot tub.
