Please remember that you're not just staying in a hotel, but rather our families get away cabins! Please treat them like they are your own!

While we do our very best to ensure a "PERFECT" vacation for you, please understand that these are cabins in the woods.... Wildlife and animals come right up to the porch sometimes.

The water is well water, so if any of the fixtures have an orange tint to them that is why! The water is filtered and softened, so safe to shower and use!

We are a message or call away, and will fix any issue ASAP

Black Hills Getaway

Was a wonderful stay. The only problem I had was Matt sent me the lockbox code but not the address. I reached out twice to him and got no reply. I had driven 2000 miles and was in panic mode. I had to reach out to VRBO twice to assist me. They tried as well and could not get in touch with Matt. I finally convinced them to locate the physical address…I was in Hermosa and had nowhere to stay. Was nerve racking to say the least. It was however very charming and was in a wonderful location.

Is there such a thing as too quiet?

Have been to SD twice, exploring what there is to offer, love it by the way, wanted to travel through the badlands and found this place to stay a couple nights. Enjoyed greatly! Just husband wife and little barky dog, perfect size for us.

Awesome Cabin!!!!

This was our first time to South Dakota and it was absolutely beautiful!!! The cabin was absolutely delightful!!! It is a very quiet and peaceful! Extremely clean. The bed was so comfy. My 17 yr old daughter slept great on the pull out couch. I loved the tub to take my nightly bath. We grilled a lot. The covered porch is nice to sit on when it rains. The picnic table is perfect for meals outside. The cabin is like a 20 min drive from everything like Rapid City, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore.....etc. It isn't difficult to find at all for it is very well marked. The Badlands take about an hour and half to get to. There is a cute mom and pop grocery store in the town of Hermosa which isn't far from cabin at all and a yummy pizza place just down the road that's open Wednesday to Sunday. It was the a blast of a trip and the cabin was perfect for the three of us. If you stay here, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!!!

Quick Trip for nephew 1st Birthday

I traveled from east Texas to Rapid City for my great nephew's first birthday party. It was a short, quick trip and was last minute. I found this little gem of a place and booked it even though it was kinda out of my way. I AM SO GLAD I DID! It was the best part of my trip. The area was absolutely perfect. I traveled with my toy schnauzer and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving her at the cabin all day while I was at the party. I have used VRBO for over 10 years and this cabin is probably in my top 5. I would book again in a heartbeat. Cabin was an easy drive to Rapid and and the scenic route to the big heads was even better. Perfect location, great sitting area, relaxing and peaceful. Overall A+++++++ Wish I could have stayed a week!! Great place the owners have created!

Great cabin in amazing area

Beautiful little cabin and the area was spectacular. We had a little issue had to reset water heater circuit breaker, then figure out the Water heater needed to be reset. The manager responded quickly. But other than that, the place was wonderful. Had everything we needed. We drove around the area, and it was spectacular. Would so have loved to stay several more days. So beautiful and worth the trip. Highly recommend this place.

Little cabin in the woods

We had a great time staying at the cabin. Excellent communication with the owner. Peaceful and quiet. Some kitchen appliances like electric skillet and coffee maker was nice. Grill was a nice addition for foil packets on the grill. We drive from Indiana so some seasonings for cooking would be a nice addition. The claw foot tub once you got the hang of it worked for a real quick shower but was only a handheld detachment shower head. The futon worked nicely for our daughter. Card games made for nice quiet evenings. Nice location to go to Mt. Rushmore or Custer state park. We hiked multiple trails and explored the wildlife loop off the beaten path which was amazing.

We loved how quiet and peaceful this cabin was. It’s in an excellent location for accessing Custer State Park and not too far from Rapid City for food. Our only complaint was the claw foot tub didn’t have a place for the spraying to be held overhead so you couldn’t really take a normal shower. There’s a nice lounge area on the deck to sit and watch stars at night. Overall very happy with our experience and would recommend.
