We had an amazing time staying a few days at the cabin. After being in tighter accommodations along a road trip with our kids this was exactly what we all needed. The cabin is great and well appointed with everything you need, and the views are fantastic from every deck or porch on the place. We intend to return again in the future for a longer stay. There is so much to see and do in the area and this is a great place to serve as base camp for that.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. We loved our stay here while exploring the Black Hills area. There was plenty of room for the seven of us. We enjoyed the stars in the beautiful night sky. We saw bighorn sheep up on the cliff above the stratobowl while we were on the deck.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It is in a great location with lots to do in immediate stratobowl area with various hiking trails and a creek with a swimming hole which our kids really enjoyed kayaking in. The house was very nice and clean with beautiful views of the canyon and creek. Ken was wonderful and very hospitable; he gave us an introduction to the house and the surrounding area on the first day we arrived which was much appreciated. We definitely would love to come back again!

This was our first time in the Black Hills and staying at Ken’s was by far one of the coolest places we have stayed. Not only does Ken make you feel at home, he shares his beautiful property for us to explore. Stratobowl is historically fascinating and stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed being close to Rapid City, Mount Rushmore, all the hikes and scenic drives around Custer States and coming back to the house to enjoy the decks overlooking the rim. We only used the upstairs beds and they are very comfortable!
