Enjoyed

The location was easy to find and we enjoyed the stay. Would have been helpful to know the driveway is steep and lose gravel at the end of it. Not easy to get a trailer into if hauling a bike or side-by-side to ride in the hills.

Great location!

This location is perfect for us. We had quite a few generations staying in this one location. Some spent the majority of time in Deadwood; others went to Mt. Rushmore and Keystone. The cabin did have a fire pit and hot tub (we didn't use it) for those who just wanted to chill.
