Cute clean cabin!
This cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location, perfect for seeing all of the popular places in the black hills. The walk to the lake was short and easy! The only thing I would recommend a new mattress for the loft in the near future. The other beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean!

Name says it all!
This was the perfect place to stay if you intend to explore the Black Hills of South Dakota. Everything was within a 1 to 2 hour drive for us. Accommodations were great. Owner was very responsive. Neighborhood was clean and bustling with runners and dog walkers. Park around the corner was perfect for an evening stroll after sightseeing. This is a great place. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here!

The property was awesome! The host was even more awesome. The host allowed early access to property which turned out to be a godsend. Host was very accommodating and answered emails/ text within minutes. I’m recommending the host to all my friends if they ever make a trip to Rapid City. Thanks again Tara and Chad.

Disappointed
Property listed for different rate and I was charged more than that rate. Front step was a loose slab of slate ( could be a lawsuit waiting to happen) there was a patched spot in bathroom on floor which was sketchy. Could not reach owners as the website was trying to connect with several sites at the same time. Neighbor was rude Did contact VRBO

A Wonderful Visit
This was a perfect little place for our visit to Rapid City! The fenced in yard for our dogs could not have been easier. We loved the gas fireplace as it was cold and snowy while we were there. The location was excellent! It was an easy drive to downtown. We REALLY loved the nearby County Lake and all of the walkways and trails. They were perfect for taking our dogs for a walk. Also, the lake was full of fall migrating waterfowl! We saw some species that we had never seen before! Lastly, a big thank you to especially Tara. Thanks for being flexible with our changing dates due to the snowstorm. You were so helpful and our communications were timely and helpful. We so loved our visit. Thank you!

A cozy little Rapid City gem
This place was perfect for me and my 79 year old mother who were in town over Thanksgiving visiting family in the area. The cabin had everything we needed (including a washer/dryer combo), and the backyard was perfect for my small dogs. The location is also great as it is close to walking trails and a beautiful lake. Plus all the tourist attractions are just a short drive away. We especially enjoying turning on the gas fireplace while getting organized in the morning. Tara and Chad we super helpful in getting us checked in a bit early. I would have loved to have stayed longer, but we had to get back to "real life". :)
