Beautiful property
very modern, updated, well appointed house. Exceptionally clean, has everything needed for our stay. Multi-generational family used primarily to visit Mt Rushmore, Crazy horse and surrounding areas. When needed, owners very responsive. Loft area with ping pong table was nice for younger people in our party to enjoy. Beautiful space to look at the stars

Great Stay at Black Hills Log Cabin
We stayed a week at the Black Hills Log Cabin. It is secluded and peaceful! We enjoyed the ping pong table upstairs and the king sized beds in each room! Plenty of deer and turkeys on the property and nearby.

We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.

Excellent choice for visiting the Black Hills. The home is spacious, it can easily fit two families, and it has quick access to all the great things the Black Hills have to offer. The gravel road that leads to the house is very well maintained, we had no trouble even under heavy rain. You never run out of things to do in this area and it felt great coming back to this house after a long hike. Double thumbs up!

The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

Memorial Day weekend 2024
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin/lodge! The location was perfect for quick trips to site see. We did Rushmore, crazy horse, devils tower, badlands, Custer, wind cave. At the home we saw so many turkeys and deer. The grocery store in hermosa was perfect to get all of your needs and was super close. We played with the games the host provided and built puzzles. It was a wonderful vacation and home. Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

While remote (as was explained in the description), the property was centrally located if you are visiting the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, or Custer Park. The pantry was partially stocked with non-perishables. The property was comfortable and, in addition to TV, provided corn hole, ping pong, beautiful sunrises and a morning/evening feeding frenzy for the turkeys and deer. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Black Hills Gem
This was the perfect place for exploring Black Hills, Rushmore and Custer National Parks. The cabin is off the beaten path, set among rolling fields and woods. The kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials and coffee and a stop at Pops Grocery in Hermosa can get you most of what you need. We enjoyed the selection of books, games and puzzles and eating outside at the picnic table. The cabin was clean, well maintained and the owners are very responsive to questions and concerns. Only a few minor complaints- the beautiful floors are very hard and cold so bring your slippers and the frying pans are in rough shape. Overall, a great place set in an idyllic landscape.
