Fun
We had a couple of different families coming together for a “Rushmore” Labor Day weekend retreat. Everyone was able to find the property with relative ease. The grounds are taken care of and have a great seclusion aspect. In the morning a great sunrise and beautiful views. The wrap around deck is fantastic for families who have several different age groups. I would highly recommend this property for families that are looking for a quiet retreat. Fantastic communication with the property owners as well!!!

Beautiful cabin; 4 1/2 stars
This is a truly beautiful and spacious log cabin--extremely well built and furnished--with gorgeous property and backyard. The only detractions I would note are that the grease from the grill was not clean and it caught on fire. The manager came to clean the grease but didn't finish so we did not get to use the grill at all. We had to cook many hamburgers inside in batches, which was slow and hot. The only other detraction was that the owner wanted us to strip the beds, and also put the trash in our cars and drive them to a trash depository down the road. We do not have vehicles to accommodate trash, though some members of our group put them in there anyways. To me, that was a bridge too far, especially since I paid a hefty cleaning fee. All else was wonderful and we had a lovely time.

Beautiful cabin in the woods!
This house was absolutely perfect for our family trip. It easily accommodated all 12 of us without feeling cramped. The property owners were so responsive and couldn’t be any sweeter! This area of South Dakota had so much to do that we stayed busy for all 7 days that we were there! You won’t regret staying here!

One of A Kind
We had a small family reunion with our kids and their families, 11 people ages 8 months to 65 YO. It was a very special weekend and this beautiful property was a big part of it. The property is secluded but convenient to Rushmore, Custer Park, Keystone, and other attractions. It's quiet, beautiful, very tastefully furnished, plenty of service ware, cooking, and grilling amenities. We've stayed in a lot of properties in the hills and this is by far our favorite.

Excellent family vacation spot
We really enjoyed our stay here. We had 14 people in our group, ranging from an infant to grandparents, and there was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook big group dinners. We loved the huge deck with ample seating, and our kids especially loved playing in the yard and with the games out there. The area was quiet and it felt like we had it all to ourselves. The host and owner were responsive, friendly, and helpful. A couple of the mattresses could stand to be replaced, but other than that, we were very happy!

6 adults and 3 children 4 and under
We chose this house because we wanted three bathrooms and enough space for an active toddler and preschooler. We were not disappointed. The location is close to the kid centered activities we were interested in. Reptiles Garden, Storybook Island, Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake. We did have a couple of longer drives but they were well tolerated by the children. There was a wonderful swing on the property and a slack line my 4 year old granddaughter thought was fun. We had a problem with the water pressure that was resolved within 30 minutes of seeking help. As this was a family vacation and our grandchildren are young we did not do much hiking. Although we did make it around Sylvan lake. On the way home my husband and I drove Needles highway and also went through the Badlands. May is a wonderful time to visit the area.
