Such a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable, clean and great hosts. If you love nature, you will love this place. Close to many places to explore (Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Badlands, Hill City, Keystone, Custer). Lovely deck to sit outside and relax.

If you want a quiet, peaceful place to come back to after exploring the Black Hills this is the place for you. Lisa and Mike are the perfect hosts. They thought of everything you may need.

Always a wonderful time

This is the fifth time we visited Mike & Lisa’s rental, and every time has been better than the previous, which is impressive as all of our visits have been fantastic. The cabin is unparalleled as is the hospitality and they have their own wonderful greeter in their cat, Okie.The space is very comfortable and clean, and has all the amenities one could hope for. Since our first visit in 2022 we’ve made it a pilgrimage at least annually. You will not find better hosts. They’re awesome!

The house is just perfect with great amenities. Lisa and John are wonderful hosts. The kitchen is one I would have in a future house. It also includes a distant but striking view of Mt. Rushmore from the deck.The house is an amazing point for ventures to Mt. Rushmore, the national parks, Badlands and Deadwood . Would highly recommend a stay

My husband and I absolutely loved everything about our stay at this property. The owners are wonderful people, their property is gorgeous, the house is clean and comfortable, and the views are stunning. It is far enough away from town that it’s peaceful, yet just close enough to Keystone, other area towns/cities, and area landmarks and travel attractions, allowing for the perfect mix of relaxing, shopping, entertainment, being outdoors, etc. Again, I will emphasize, the owners of this property are fabulous! Which makes this location all the more perfect. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great get away in the Black Hills!

Lisa and Mike were so friendly, made us feel right at home. This home was well stocked with anything you would need. Too many extra nice things and attention to detail to mention from the personal gifts Lisa left for us to the heated bathroom floor tiles that she turned on for us before we arrived. Such a beautiful and peaceful and safe spot for us to return to after a day of sight seeingWould definitely recommend

Phenomenal

The trip was a last minute get away with my boys. Literally a day before we decided to hop in the car and drive out to South Dakota from Illinois to see the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and the Wind Cave National Park. We chose this property do the the view of Mt. Rushmore off the back deck as well as the modern look on the inside We made the trip at the right time as there were very few tourists and the weather was low 70s everyday. We hiked up Black Elk Peak after visiting Mt. Rushmore. The scenery is breath taking. The owners were very nice and helpful. I am so glad we made the trip.
