We stayed a week at the Black Hills Log Cabin. It is secluded and peaceful! We enjoyed the ping pong table upstairs and the king sized beds in each room! Plenty of deer and turkeys on the property and nearby.

We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.

Excellent choice for visiting the Black Hills. The home is spacious, it can easily fit two families, and it has quick access to all the great things the Black Hills have to offer. The gravel road that leads to the house is very well maintained, we had no trouble even under heavy rain. You never run out of things to do in this area and it felt great coming back to this house after a long hike. Double thumbs up!

Cabin was very nice. Great location in the Black Hills. Area was very private and quiet. Tip: cabin has a very good water filtration system so there is no need to buy bottled water.
