Home Away from Home

My family and I loved staying in this cozy, peaceful cabin on Swiss Drive! The location is perfect and near so many amazing attractions. It is right in the heart of the Black Hills forest. The house is spacious, clean, and has everythjng you need to spend much of your time there. We loved sitting out on the porch for our meals as well as enjoying the beautiful sunrise. The host was so friendly, hospitable, and communicated efficiently. We would recommend and return to tbis location if in the area again!

Great space for family time

We loved staying at the cabin. It was a very remote area which we loved after spending the day touring sites. We enjoyed grilling and relaxing on the deck after a busy day. My daughter enjoyed hiking around the cabin in the morning and two lakes are located near the cabin as well which was amazing for picnics!

Nice property, but could use some updates

The property is nice, but could use some updates - new coffee pot (took over 45 minutes to brew a pot), dishwasher (none currently in cabin), televisions (small/older models and some cables were broken), curtain rods fell when adjusting curtains. All in all the cabin is cozy and rustic and we enjoyed our time there. The suggested updates would only make the property more inviting/comfortable in our opinion.

Nice stay in South Dakota

Enjoyed on week in South Dakota. Cabin was convenient to the activities that we chose. The road up to the cabin was very long, rough and winding (dirt/gravel). Recommend 4w Drive. We cooked several meals at the house and thought the kitchen could have used more pans and at least one 9x13. What was there was not very nice and we are not picky about pans. Luckily we brought an electric skillet, a couple skillets and Bundt pan to cook a birthday cake in. Also a smaller hand mixer or whisk would have been helpful. Other than that we slept great and enjoyed the patio.

Great home DEEP in the hills

If you’re looking for a quiet getaway and you really like the serenity of the Black Hills, this is your go to. It was my wife and I and our four kids. The sleeping arrangements were great! The kitchen was a solid setup and the grocery store in Hill City is 16 miles away. The only thing I’d consider if I were to stay in the area again is the drive in and out. It’s a beautiful drive, but it’s back in there on a winding gravel road. It’s a 15 minute drive to get off the main road. Now, if you’re looking for pristine nature, this is great. If you’re going say tripping, it makes it a little bit of a longer drive. Overall, GREAT HOME and worth the $$. Thank you for opening it up for us to call home for a few days.

May 2021

The cabin itself was very nice. We did have an issue with hornets which must have been a known issue as there was hornet spray on the counter. We have stayed in many other cabins and I was disappointed by the lack of games, etc when the weather was rainy. The kids wanted to hang out outside but we weren't sure where the property ended and didn't want to bother the neighbors. I do understand why trash is only disposed of at the dumpsters, however for the cost I was very disappointed that I had to haul trash in my vehicle. Especially when we were leaving with a car full of kids and stuff. Then bring the trash too. Im not sure why the cleaning crew can't do that on last day. This would be an ok cabin for couples but not great for younger families.

Family Anniversary Trip

It was a comfortable cabin for our family. Do not attempt to find it at night in the rain! Adequate for our needs but there were not many drinking glasses. Plates were chipped and it definitely could use a resupply. A trip to Goodwill would remedy the situation. This was our first stay at a VRBO but we did expect a small supply of salt, pepper and sugar in individual packets. There were none. There were six of us and there was enough room for privacy and comfort. We did not miss internet or television. We brought our own games. We do not consider it remote when you are next to a road and you can see neighbor’s houses.
