Remote with all the amenities
We loved our stay at this remote cabin but with all the amenities. The cabin was clean and well taken care of. Loved having the wood burning fireplace as it was a little cool during our stay. The hosts, Allen and Elizbeth were wonderful and offered ideas and suggestions of places to go. Centrally located for all the keys spots of Mt Rushmore, Crazy House and Custer State Park. Perfect for a couples get away or a small family. Very picturesque area.
This was our second trip to this property. We love the quiet and secluded location, and the hosts are very kind, responsive and respectful. Great people with a great place. Can't recommend this enough!

If you want to escape the noise of the city and sit on the front porch and watch, beautiful horses graze in the most amazing small valley, this place is for you. The hosts are amazing the accommodations historical as well as comfortable and a place that is truly one of my best memories.

Wonderful!
Property was beautiful! Secluded area, owners are very cool people! Surrounded by National Forest, it is a great getaway! We had a lot planned this trip, but soon after arriving we wish we had booked more time to just hang out at the cabin! Can't wait to return!
