Cute and Cozy!

This cottage was so cut and cozy, it is like you stepped into a whimsical storybook. (And wine when we arrived was a nice surprise after a long drive). Very clean, and was nice to have amenities available if we chose to use them. Would definitely recommend!

The Chalet offered us everything we were looking for. Peace and comfort after a exploring all the Black Hills had to offer. Becci was the ultimate host, she even left us a bottle of wine for us to enjoy as we celebrated our anniversary! Highly recommend this retreat away from it all!

Great Time

We had a great time at The Chalet. This was our first time in South Dakota and we loved it. The Chalet was nicely situated between all the places we wanted to visit and we loved coming back to a peaceful getaway to relax in the evenings. It was the perfect place all around.

Motorcycle getaway

Very clean, cozy, eclectic A-frame. 2 comfortable sleeping areas though neither has full walls so it really is “open concept”. Loved watching the wildlife off the deck. Fairly centrally located though I missed the “maintained road” reference and was a bit surprised at the 2 mile steep dirt road though the road was well maintained and we didn’t have any issues.

Everything we hoped!

The Chalet on High Meadows was everything we wanted for our vacation - a beautifully decorated and clean space with plenty of room for the two of us, privacy, and lovely outdoor areas to enjoy. Communication with Becci was quick and easy and the location was perfect - off the beaten path but central to everything. We highly recommend this property!

GREAT R & R Location

We enjoyed our stay at The Chalet! The area is peaceful and a great place to relax after visiting areas like Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and Bear Country USA. Convenient restaurants we recommend, Tally’s Silver Spoon, JR’s Rhodehouse BBQ Pit, Bokujo Ramen and Delmonico Steakhouse. The property has all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay. You couldn’t ask for a better host than Becci and Colin.
