Family trip to Badlands

Location to Badlands and Wall is great! Lovely view out of the back deck. Open layout and rustic hunting theme for this upper barn stay. Theme isn’t the kids personal favorite but my husband enjoyed it. The pictures accurately reflect the property and more would be suggested. However, it wasn’t clear from reviews or reading that the one bedroom with: bunk bed and two bigger beds are together on the main level of the barn, but, you can tell from the ceiling in photos. You are out in the WIDE OPEN grasslands so mouse traps on the main level are logical and smart but vacation mode mindset doesn’t care for that. The main level felt more like a basement space and our girls were more comfortable sleeping on the couch upstairs both nights. Be weather aware as the last two roads to the house could be difficult to navigate in heavier snowfall. And as you are quite isolated, we only saw one car on the last 5miles over our time. The drive and roads were great on our trip. Specifically to the area, not a strike to the house, rattle snake warning signs are out at all the parks, trail heads, and house so be alert.WiFi was awesome! Lower marks for cleaning because of dog hair on the couch, shower needs a scrub with new liner, and items out: freezer food, clothing and personal items, in rental. Stocked items: towels, blankets, pillows, dishes, pans…plenty of space to cook and eat.

Gorgeous View!

View of beautiful valley with lots of wildlife! It is pretty remote so you can enjoy dark skis. Couldn't hear anything but nature. So peaceful!

Badlands Vacation

We spent three nights here while we visited Badlands National Park. There was plenty of room for our family during the stay. Staying at this hunting cabin during our vacation was very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed seeing deer and other wildlife in the morning and evening each day.
