Enjoyed our stay. Loved the location and cabin. Will call out that the 3rd bedroom is not connect to the upper level (you have to go outside to reach it) which is fine but our kids were too nervous to stay in there alone. Just a heads up!

My husband and I and our 13 and 19 year old kids stayed here for a week the beginning of June. We had the best time! The cabin itself has everything you need and more! I loved having my coffee in the morning on the deck, it was so peaceful and serene. We did so many fun things while there! We went to The Reptile Gardens, Bear Country, Custer State Park, hiked in the Badlands, and spent a day in Deadwood. My kids were apprehensive about the no wifi situation, but they ended up having so much fun

Hilltop pine hideaway

Unique hilltop destination tucked up in the pine trees. Description was very accurate, the location was perfect for the sightseeing we wished to see; pretty centrally located. If you don’t want a location out in the middle of nowhere this may not be the site for you. Gravel road with hairpin turns to access it.. We loved it!

So peaceful

The house was wonderful. My 9 and 12 year olds were a little afraid to stay in the bottom floor with the pull out couch since it connected to the house via the deck. I would say this house was perfect for the 4 of us. It had no WiFi which was exactly what we needed for the kids to disconnect and be present. The games were really fun, too!
