Lots of room for family and nature!

This was a great place to stay during our touring around the Black Hills. Nice family friendly home. Awesome view and we saw many friendly wildlife! I would recommend for any families.

A young deer peeking through the window, turkeys quietly feeding in the yard, wild ducks gathered on the lake…a peaceful escape from every day hustle and bustle! Perfect location, perfect hosts. Every age here, and all of us completely happy with our choice! Thank you!😊

My husband and I, our adult sons and their girlfriends had a blast! Beautiful property! The wildlife and deer were amazing to watch right on the property from the large outdoor deck! The trails are stunning! Definitely booking this property again in the future! Thank you Scott for letting us enjoy your cottage. The Bussmann family

the location is great - very close to (1) Mount Rushmore; (2) Custer State Park & Wildlife Refuge; (3) Crazy Horse; (4) Downtown Rapid City w/Presidential Statues. The place was very clean. The kitchen was great & grill was clean (although we didn't get to use it due to eating timing on our part). Like other's mentioned it's an odd floorplan but it's very adaptable. So 1st floor of main house has 2 queen bedrooms with bathroom in between; in 2nd bedroom on the first floor there's spiral stairs up to a single bed in an alcove followed by a queen bed in a master bedroom with a bathroom.. The reason it's "4" bedrooms is because there's a "guest house" out the back door which has a little cabin with a sitting area, kitchen, and bedroom and bathroom. Overall everything is clean and readily available and good area not to mention close to everything you'd want to see in the area. I would rent this again - especially with my family - I have one married daughter so the little cabin would be perfect, while the others stay with me.

There is so much to do and see within driving distance that we spend little time in the cabin and even less on the grounds. Place is comfortable but a bit unusual. I have never seen a spiral staircase leaving to the second level, best for the younger generation. My daughter liked the separate building for herself. There is lots of room overall to spread out. Mentioned in previous reviews, the place sleeps nine but has dishes for 4-6. We "borrowed" bowls from the separate building. We didn't know but enjoyed the fact that deer took up residence in the side yard. The deck had seating for 24, not sure why.

Great location to all the different attractions. Watching the wildlife around was really neat. Lodge and bunkhouse was spacious with lots of room. Definitely will use again

We had a fantastic long weekend. The property was in a perfect location for day trips to the Badlands and Blackhills. Everyone was very responsive when we had some issues with the wifi. Only complaint was that there wasn't a way to make the bedrooms really dark at night, but is was a minor issue.

We loved our stay here! More than enough room for our family of 5. Central location for Custer, Spearfish and Badlands yet also close to stores etc in town. Only concern we had were the beds were a little soft and creaky for us. Overall a great private and peaceful setting, we were able to fully relax here before and after our day trips.

Odd layout. Although we knew this going in. With so many beds I wish they would have had more sets of silverware. We never had enough for us all to eat at the same time. Also things like salt and pepper, paper towel starter set, curtains on some bedroom windows, scissors, and hair dryers were missing. The lake was beautiful. The playground and paddle boats were fun. Convenient to airport and majority of attractions in and around Rapid City. Easy drive to devils tower.

Beautiful location and views.. Easy to to find and convenient to everything. We did multiple day trips to Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, The Mammoth Site, Wall Drustore, The Badlands, and lots of golf! Very quiet and very safe area. Older home with updates but an odd layout from our perspective in the main house. Have to go through one bedroom to go up circular staircase to master bedroom, bath, and screened porch. Guest house was good for married adult couple with us. Great deck with lots of seating and gas grill to use. Quiet back porch with seating too. We saw foxes and deer. Really enjoyed our stay!

The pictures do not do this property justice. My family and I had an amazing time with plenty of space. Staff was very helpful with great recommendations for the area.

Excellent get away. In town with the feel of being in the hills. Quiet and plenty of room for everyone. Can't wait to come back. Campground host was wonderful.

The house is on the lake at a resort by the edge of the black hills. Easy access tot he area, The house had plenty of room, we liked the carport as it snowed and everything worked fine.

Great house for family get together. Loved the deck and view of the lake.

We had the perfect get away. We loved the bunkhouse for our teenage girls!!! We walked paths around the property and the lake. Very relaxing setting!!

We enjoyed our breakfasts out on the deck. It was very private even though it was in a campground area. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the place more.

The bunkhouse was a nice addition. The deck was amazing with an amazing view. Enjoyed our stay.

It was a little short on space however we enjoyed it very much and had a good time there. Nice size deck to relax on.

This house is situated right by a lake, has a huge yard, and the camp playground is right across a tiny bridge. Really convenient to downtown Rapid City, and the owner was quick to communicate and fix an air conditioning issue. The house is quirky... I didn't realize upon booking that one of the bedrooms and a bathroom were actually a separate bunkhouse (just feet from the main house, but good to know if you have small kids). In the main house there is one bedroom on the main floor, and then the other bedroom has a very narrow spiral staircase up to the second floor (this us the only way to get upstairs). Upstairs there is a small nook with a single bed at the top of the stairs, a bathroom, and a nice bedroom with a sun porch. These bedrooms aren't really separate, but it worked fine for our family to not have as much privacy. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

This is a great house. We had 9 people and had plenty of space. Two living rooms, and lots of bedrooms. The bunk house was great for a quiet space away. The deck was fabulous with lots of chairs and a grill. Very clean and well maintained. We would definitely rent this house again on a future trip.
