Solitude is on the top of my list. It was my husband and myself. We came for the quiet and peace and it was all we hoped for. Be prepared to be off the grid. The cabin has plenty of games and lots of outdoor play. The area is beautiful and close to anything you want to do sightseeing or shopping. The cabin has an equipped kitchen and is comfortable and very clean.

This was the perfect place for our SD road trip. It's centrally located for everything you want to do in the black hills. Mt. Rushmore is literally around the corner. The kids loved playing with the chicken and rabbits. We loved that we could send the kids outside and they could be as loud as they wanted. You can tell Linda enjoys what she does and close by if you need her we would definitely recommend staying here.

This is a good location and the grounds are nice. The house is very worn. Furniture and Kitchen very old and worn. Propane heater in main bedroom blows right on bed so you are hot or cold.
Towels and linens are stiff and do not smell fresh. Probably ok for a 1-2 night stay in the summer but early October was cold at night and the cabin felt cold. A manual propane heater was in kitchen but no thermostat so you had to turn off and on. Price is ok just be aware what you are getting. Only bath is in main cabin.

We stayed the 3rd week of September and had an absolutely awesome time. It's a great little cabin. We sat by the fire almost every evening until dark. The deer come by every morning and evening. We didn't see any donkeys in Custer State park so I fed our purchased donkey pellets to the deer. The description doesn't do justice to the little stream a couple feet from the kitchen door. They've built little rock dams to create a babbling effect in the stream, which is suitable for wading on hot days. The host, Linda, is great. We hope to see her and the cabin again next year!! P.S. no TV, but cell service is good and mobile data reception is good.

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for during our visit to the Black Hills! It was private and secluded and we felt the kids could be as loud as they wanted. They especially loved the bunnies and chickens and even named them! I wanted to stay and live there. Beautiful area and we saw so many deer, what a delight! Linda was a wonderful host and the sweetest person you’ll meet. She was fast to respond. We loved getting to know her. Wish we could’ve had more time! If privacy and a rustic cabin feel is what your looking for, this is the place for you!

Three separate cabins. One main cabin with kitchen and bathroom. Two other cabins for sleeping. One of the extra cabins had microwave and mini fridge but neither had bathrooms. Outhouse available. It was great for our purpose but renter should be aware. Also no Wi-Fi.

We loved our stay. The tranquility rated very high on our stay. To set around the fire pit at night after our adventures during the day was so nice. Linda gave us great ideas for places to go that are not advertised on any maps. She was so delightful to talk to. Linda, thanks for your suggestions and your hospitality.

Excellent cabin in the woods
We can’t say enough good things about this stay! The cabin is just perfect and secluded enough to feel away from the world. Yet it’s a close drive do to fun family activities. Linda was just the absolute Best and we will miss her. The chickens and bunnies were a bonus, the kids just loved them! You definitely want to stay here with your family or friends!

Beautiful Place
This place is absolutely gorgeous. The property is huge and is back off of the main road for what feels like a mile. So you know you are going to have privacy. I can't wait to come back and book here again.

Peaceful get away!
We rented the cabin for 5 nights over the 4th of July and for a niece's Wedding.
The area is private and peaceful with a running creek near the cabin, I loved the chickens clucking around the property. The property was clean and Linda, the host lived near by and was available anytime we needed her or had questions.

Rustic Getaway close to EVERYTHING
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Grizzly Gulch Cabin. We slept 6 adults and 1 toddler comfortably for 5 nights. The cabin and property were picturesque and had all the needed amenities. Sharing 1 bathroom was difficult, but we made it work. We loved having the chickens roaming around, the creek, and the screened porch the most! The only "negative" I would give it was just how rustic it was. It's definitely not for people who need all modern comforts. Overall, fantastic stay!

Secluded ...mostly
It was a beautiful property and a great location. Our only complaint was we rented the entire property but the host was always there. Don’t get us wrong she was super nice but we rented a private cabin for a reason, for it to be private. She lived up the road and did have chickens and a bunny on the property so we expected her to come by maybe once a day but it was no less than three times a day at randoms times and as late as 7pm(which is 8pm our time so our 4yo was already trying to sleep) keep in mind this was only the times we counted while at the cabin as we spent most of the time away hiking and exploring. One afternoon after a long hike she came no less than 5 times and with her grandson to gather rocks( and this was just when we were at the property. Again she was so sweet and nice but this was not what we were looking for, I think there should be a time slot the owner should stick to visiting the property unless there are issues.

Grizzly Gulch Cabin Sept 2020
Excellent proximity to Keystone and Mt. Rushmore. Secluded and quiet with plenty of room for the 8 of us. No tv but none needed with the outside and inside games to entertain us. The only thing that was a slight negative was the stove. Small with only three burners which in itself was not a problem, but the coils only partially heated up. Oven worked well though. Linda was great and helpful when needed and just down the lane for a quick response. Highly recommend this quaint and cozy rental!

Review
I would say we had a great time at our cabin. The only issue we had was bee's and wasps. There were a lot of wasp nest that I personally removed. My daughter was stung by a bee during our stay. My kids loved the creek behind the cabin and also the openness of the property. All in all, we enjoyed our stay besides the little critters joining us.

Grizzly Gulch
It was a wonderful experience. The property and location were perfect and was close to everything. Our only regret was that we didn't allow more time at the cabin relaxing-- it is a perfect for anyone who wants a retreat. Linda was great to work with and was available when we had a need.
We would definitely rebook if we are ever in the area.

Phenomenal Trip
We absolutely enjoyed our time there. It’s quaint, rustic but absolutely charming. We had everything we needed. The atmosphere was so peaceful. Linda is so kind and sweet. She was available for whatever we needed. She went out of her way to make sure we had a place to watch the fireworks. We can’t wait to return! Would love to make this a frequent getaway. Convenient for all the surrounding areas. Close to town to go for dinner. Yet seems like your out by yourself. Neighbors are extremely quiet. You don’t even know they are around.Swings to just relax and listen to the creek run. We all just adored it. We even managed with the one bathroom for 4 ladies. It just worked!

Relaxing Getaway
We are ranchers. We work on the ranch plus some have jobs off the ranch. Our lives are constantly on the run. This was that perfect getaway time that we all needed to just relax .. or to have a lot of activities right handy to enjoy ourselves! Thanks so much Linda for steering us in the right direction everyday!

We had the most absolute best time at this cabin! Loved the creek in the back! It was a nice touch when sitting by the fire. It’s very secluded and quiet! Yet close enough to keystone to get food and small shopping! We plan on coming back with the rest of the family soon!

Nice little get away at the end of a dirt road, very secluded, creek next to property, fire pit and grill available. Really a quaint rustic setting perfect for relaxing. Can even see Rushmore from the dirt road. Owner is super helpful. We really loved it.

We enjoyed our 3 Nights. Everything was as advertised. The cabin is definitely rustic (older kitchen/bathroom) but everything you need is there. The location is amazing, so much privacy and absolutely beautiful. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

A fantastic spot!!
Clean, well-maintained, comfortable cabin. Beautiful setting in the Black Hills. My three kids (12, 9, & 7) loved the yard~ big enough for whiffle ball, frisbee, campfires, & exploring the creek. We all slept in main cabin as the logistics of the guest cabin didn’t work) so it was a little tight, but still very comfortable. Linda is a kind and gracious hostess with great local knowledge. A fantastic base to explore a gorgeous part of the country. Thank you, Linda and family!!!

Peaceful Base Camp
Restful, creekside base camp for visiting Mount Rushmore, Black Hills, Crazy Horse and Keystone. And so much more we did not have time to do. Ample games for large yard. Pleasant dip in the creek out back door.
