Peaceful cozy stay

My family and I were very pleased with our cozy cabin stay. The cabin itself was welcoming and very well maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the trees and we're happy to see a playground for our younger kiddos to burn off some energy. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodations and would happily stay again.

My husband and I came for our anniversary trip and had a very nice stay! We brought our own UTV and were able to park our trailer easily. Cabin was very clean! Wi-fi was a little spotty, but we didn't need to use it much. Overall very pleased with our stay.

Joy at American Pines

The cabin was clean, well supplied, and located near many of the places of interest in the Black Hills, SD area. The large grass area behind the cabin was perfect for our lab, Gus. It’s a beautiful setting and we were blessed to see white-tailed deer every morning.

About the host

Hosted by Becki Groven

Host profile image
We are a small family owned & operated business specializing in offering personal, friendly service. We own a cabin rental business as well as a ATV rental business in the area because we want to be able to be home when our 3 boys get off the bus, we want to be able to play & work together, & we want to raise our children with strong ethics which included hard work & playing in the great outdoors!! Our love for God, country, & family is why we do what we do & at the heart of our business. We've been blessed to call the Black Hills home & would love to share it with you. We'd love to have you stay with us, JAROD, BECKI, AUSTIN, CODY & KYLE

Why they chose this property

Becki's family is originally from Keystone. She has relatives that helped pioneer the town as well as help carve Mt. Rushmore. Jarod's family is from Wall & Kadoka, South Dakota, the Badlands area. Beside Mt. Rushmore being the National Monument, Keystone is full of living history of the miner era that once made the town thrive. The Black Hills is also full of geological history & a favorite for rock hunters, which we are, & rock climbers, which we aren't:). The small hometown atmosphere of the Black Hills as well as the many diverse sites & attractions makes this the perfect place to make memories for a lifetime, again & again.

What makes this property unique

Renting an ATV/UTV to explore the back country, hiking right out the front door, driving through the Pigtail Bridges, making S'mores over an open fire, playing tag with the kids in the backyard, 5 minutes to Mt. Rushmore, cliff-jumping at Horsethief Lake, looking through unique shops in nearby towns, going on a cave tour, laying on the grass & looking up at the stars, rock collecting, fishing at Lakota Lake, swimming at Little Falls, horseback riding or seeing buffalo in Custer State Park, playing at the city park in Keystone, participating in small town parades & events, enjoying being together with our family.
