This lovely cabin had everything we needed for our week long stay in Rapid City. Having a full kitchen and washer/dryer was so convenient. The place is well stocked, and comfortable. The weather was pleasant. We never needed the AC but used the fireplace every evening. We really enjoyed grilling one of the rainbow trout we caught in Lake Pactola and relaxing on the covered patio. We also enjoyed watching the deer that ate grass in the front yard most mornings. The trail across the street is a wonderful place for a morning walk and we also walked the paved trails around Canyon Lake. It was a short drive to restaurants and stores. We didn't bring our dog this time but the cabin is perfect for vacationers with a furbaby. The location put us close to both Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. We also visited Custer State Park, the Crazy Horse monument/Museum, Deadwood, Bear Country USA, and the cute little reptile zoo. Rapid City has lots to offer. I got a massage, shopped, and browsed a couple book stores. Check in was easy and Chad and Tara are quick to respond. This little place was just perfect for our trip. We loved it.

Location of home is a very nice neighborhood with trails starting right across the street. A short walk down the road leads to Canyon Lake/Creek which was a beautiful area. We loved our time exploring the Black Hills each day, so much to do & so much beauty in the area. We really appreciated bringing our dog with. Chad & Tara are very quick to respond if you need anything. Cabin is cute and worked good for my husband, myself and our dog. Thank you, we appreciated our stay!

The location is central and perfect to all directions of sites to see, making it 30 minutes to an hour any direction, including the airport. It’s close to all amenities in Rapid City. The cabin has had a lot of renovating, yet keeping the cute nostalgic look. Pros would include a lovely front yard view, in-house washer/dryer, microwave, refrigerator, oven, coffeemaker, A/C in one bedroom and kitchen area, TV, BBQ with a small lovely patio with furniture, fenced in grass area for dogs. Cons would include no A/C in the second bedroom, creaking floor in the bathroom, and a shortage of outlets throughout the cabin. (Needed for charging purposes) We enjoyed our 10 day stay, walking along Canyon Lake and enjoying our ice cream in the evenings. It was in the 90 temps during our visit. Warmer than expected but pleasant in the evenings.

We didn’t have our dogs but the patio and grass area are pleasant.

I opened the drapes every morning to be surprised by wildlife walking by. This view surpassed a hotel room view any day!

Great location!

We loved our stay!! The location was amazing, so many people walking and biking on the near paths, we walked our dogs down to the lake / river for some exploring and they loved it. We particularly loved being right in the middle of both Wind Cave and Badlands National Parks as that was one of our main reasons for visiting South Dakota. It was also very quick and easy to get to food and stores as needed. The house itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. Despite being right off the road with a lot of foot traffic too even being in the backyard felt very quiet and private (even in 4th of July!!). I would stay again and absolutely recommend

Great place. Very clean and well equipped. It is a small 2BR home - not a 5-star hotel. It was a very nice stay and the owners were very responsive. Loved the ice cream truck down the street (opens at 1:00), and the short hike to the ridge top and large cross above the church - great view of the lake. Also, the walk along the lake was perfect for my early-morning walks.

Cozy cabin close to everything we wanted

We visit the BH often and have selected different locations throughout the region. This was a short trip for a long weekend so we wanted to be closer to RC for convenience. We couldn't ask more for the property, it's cozy, easy to get to anything we needed in RC and beyond. Being in late December the hosts were kind enough to have the fireplace going for us upon arrival too. This will be one of our primary go-to spots again and again.

We had an amazing time staying at the Black Hills Basecamp! The property is complete with all of the essentials that you and your Dogs need (Very nice fenced in yard to keep the Pups Safe). The walking trails that run along the Stream/Pond are so Beautiful and peaceful for an evening walk after a long day of sight seeing. It was fun to see the Mule Deer walking through the Neighborhood when you walk out the front door. All of the Major attraction are within an hour drive or less.
