Cute, clean cottage

My husband, dog and I stayed in this small cottage in Hermosa as part of our road trip. It was cute, clean and was in a good location for all we wanted to do in the area. We didn’t eat at the cottage as we were out and about most of the trip, but there were dishes, a refrigerator and electric griddle if we had wanted to. I would recommend it if you are looking for a small, clean place to stay while in the area!

Cabin was exactly as described - wonderful! The kids especially enjoyed it. It's super small and cozy, with only the one neighboring cabin. If you want a "mountain" type stay - don't hesitate. I'm very particular as to where I stay. As soon as we called in we all could smell cleaning supplies. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful rental!

Black Hills Getaway

Was a wonderful stay. The only problem I had was Matt sent me the lockbox code but not the address. I reached out twice to him and got no reply. I had driven 2000 miles and was in panic mode. I had to reach out to VRBO twice to assist me. They tried as well and could not get in touch with Matt. I finally convinced them to locate the physical address…I was in Hermosa and had nowhere to stay. Was nerve racking to say the least. It was however very charming and was in a wonderful location.

Is there such a thing as too quiet?

Have been to SD twice, exploring what there is to offer, love it by the way, wanted to travel through the badlands and found this place to stay a couple nights. Enjoyed greatly! Just husband wife and little barky dog, perfect size for us.

Awesome Cabin!!!!

This was our first time to South Dakota and it was absolutely beautiful!!! The cabin was absolutely delightful!!! It is a very quiet and peaceful! Extremely clean. The bed was so comfy. My 17 yr old daughter slept great on the pull out couch. I loved the tub to take my nightly bath. We grilled a lot. The covered porch is nice to sit on when it rains. The picnic table is perfect for meals outside. The cabin is like a 20 min drive from everything like Rapid City, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore.....etc. It isn't difficult to find at all for it is very well marked. The Badlands take about an hour and half to get to. There is a cute mom and pop grocery store in the town of Hermosa which isn't far from cabin at all and a yummy pizza place just down the road that's open Wednesday to Sunday. It was the a blast of a trip and the cabin was perfect for the three of us. If you stay here, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!!!
