A truly hidden gem in the Black hills.

The owners Justin and Ashley are amazing!!! Made us feel like family. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful relaxing stay in Wildcat cottage! The waffles and coffee for breakfast were great. Had lots of good conversations with the owners Justin and Ashley and some of the other guests in the Taproom.

Clean, comfortable, convenient

The cabin was super clean and comfortable, in a very pretty location that's convenient to a lot of Black Hills day trips. We stayed in the off-season, so not much going on, but I imagine the taproom and community bonfire during high season would be great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
