Loved the place! Wifi was bad, but if you stood in the right spot, it might work.

perfect spot for sturgis rally. 20 minute beautiful ride to Hill City central location

The Cabin and property was PERFECT for our getaway!! We had an amazing time - the Cabin literally had everything we needed to help make our trip fantastic. It was a great place to relax and enjoy the Black Hills after spending our days sightseeing and doing different hikes & activities. Can't wait to come back and stay here again! Thanks for a great experience and for sharing your amazing property with us!!

Great location for a cabin in the Black Hills. Thoroughly enjoyed our cabin. Very glad we did not pick something closer to town. It is a very peaceful spot. Loved having the deck with the grill and patio seating. Everything as pictured. Shower pressure was great. Kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper and some seasonings. Yeah! Plenty of towels for the bathroom. Beds were firm but not hard. If you are a light sleeper bring a sleep mask. The cabin fills with bright light as soon as the sun comes up. The curtains provide privacy but that's it. Hill City was the best location for us for all our National Park tours. Crazy Horse and Custer state park were an easy drive. Custer State Park was our favorite. Even made it to Devils Tower in about 2 hours. Would stay here again.

Clean and bright, Forest Edge provided the peace and quiet desired. A fully equipped kitchen allowed us to stay in and cook/grill after a long day of outdoor activities. Enjoyed the trip to Black Hills immensely!

We book the cabin for eight days and arrived with great expectation. All our expectations were fully met. You look for an Cabin a little bit out of all the tourist area this is where you should go for. A cozy cabin in a great nature. Our three boys love it. Every morning we saw the animals from the cabin balcony and the kids had so much fun. Everything was clean and well prepared. Thank you Ruby! We had a great stay in the Black Hills Forest Edge Cabin and when you plan a trip to the Black hills we would recommend the cabin especially also with kids.

This place is perfect for someone who wants to stay out of town in the peace and quiet. Well maintained and furnished, clean, decent beds and plenty of sheets/towels. Kitchen has lots of extras. Idyllic. Great sunsets! Centrally located to all of the black hills. Use of the mountain bikes was a plus!A few very minor things: The lighting could have been better positioned in some rooms. The place has lots of windows so if it's sunny (not the case for us!) then it wouldn't have been an issue. Also, you need to be "mindful" of water use in the kitchen and toilet since a septic is apparently not allowed. We tried to be water frugal but it's hard to tell. Also, window blinds are really thin. So, if you like it dark when you sleep then this could be an issue - especially in summer when it starts getting light at 4:30!

Great place to launch from to enjoy the black hills on a motor cycle

The cabin was wonderful and the property and surrounding land was beautiful. We had a great time in the area and the cabin was a perfect place to relax.

We loved our stay in this cabin. It is very clean and has everything you need to make it feel like your "home away from home". It was such a quiet and peaceful location and deer would come into the valley every night to watch off the deck.

Forest Edge Cabin was a well maintained home with all the amenities you need. We had no cell service at the cabin but that only bothered our teenagers! We enjoyed exporing the forest area and the area around deer lake. The house was a little further out of townn which wasn't a big deal except that we spent a lot of time driving to our locations & it just added to time in the car. It was a great trip to the Black Hills and this home only added to our experience!

Beautiful cabin with everything we needed to enjoy our Black Hills vacation! Very comfortable for our family of six, and conviently located to all the area attractions. Thank you Ruby and Frank for providing such a nice place to call home.

Black Hills Forest Edge Cabin has the perfect amount of comfort for a stay in the Black Hills. It's located close to all of the major attractions but far enough outside of town that on a clear night the Milky Way brilliantly arches overhead. We saw deer, wild turkey, a fox, and a host of song birds around the cabin. Sitting on the back porch watching the sun come up over the hills with a cup of coffee was a great way to start each day. The cabin is a great place to unplug and slow your motor down. It is also a great base to start day trips from. Devils Tower is 2-1/2 hours away. The Badlands were 2 hours away. Custer State Park was 25 minutes away. Mt Rushmore was only 25 minutes away. Hill City, which is only about 12 minutes away, has a good grocery store, several restaurants, a nice main street to walk down in the evening, and everyone is real nice. Ruby was a gracious host and my family and I are glad she opened her home to us!

A very nice cabin and a great setting. Very peaceful and beautiful. We would definitely come back!

Our family so enjoyed the Forest Edge Cabin. We absolutely loved the location away from the more touristy campgrounds and hotels - but perfect distance to all the sight-seeing the Black Hills offers. Easy access on main roads, but a couple blocks from heavy traffic! We had calm evenings enjoying the weather and nature - including the deer and elk in the yard. Our four kids enjoyed the loft space, the deck for eating breakfast with the birds and the forest for exploring. A hand-made travel notebook provided us with extra information and even maps to area activities! We had everything we needed to enjoy some time away. We would certainly stay again with our kids or without!

The cabin sits at the edge of the forest about 12-15 minutes out of Hill City. Hill City is a nice town with some shops, restaurants and grocery store. Pretty much anything you need for the stay can be purchased there. We went to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore (go around 7 or 8 PM to tour and then see the show at 9), Custer State Park (the clear favorite), Devils Tower, Bear Country (the kids loved it), horse back riding (recommended!), Wind Cave, ATV riding (meh) and Spearfish canyon (swimming in the creek is a blast on hot days). If I could do it again (and it wasn't 95+ degrees everyday), I would spend 2-3 days in Custer State Park. Very highly recommended. Expect to drive a lot if you plan to see everything. Better yet, don't plan to see everything :) The cabin is located on a dirt road about a 1/8 mile from paved roads that take you into town. The cabin was very clean and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay including a grill, coffee maker and fun games! Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is a deck which wraps around the south and east side of the cabin. We sat out on the deck in the morning and enjoyed our coffee watching the sunrise and at night playing board games (no mosquitoes!). We also saw a few deer wander through behind the cabin which was lots of fun for the kids. The main floor is nice with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/eating area and living room. The bedroom itself is nice but the bed (a full, I think) was a bit small for the grown ups. The loft has 3 beds (2 fulls and a single) and the 5 of us ended up sleeping there due to the slightly larger beds. The cabin doesn't have air conditioning, but the nights cooled off enough to make it comfortable for sleeping with the 2 ceiling fans and box fan moving air. It was 95+ degrees everyday we were there, but we were out and about all day, so I can't comment on how it would have been in the cabin during the day. The owners were very nice and made sure we were comfortable. Everything was communicated clearly and we had no problems with anything during the stay. Overall, a great experience.

Perfect location in the beautifull Black Hills and close to the charming town of Hill City (all amenities), cabin awsome and fully equipped (no Wifi or network, but you will surely not be there for that). If you are looking for a real break, that's it !!! Thanks to Ruby and Franck for their greeting.

We had wonderful week staying in Forest Edge Cabin! The cabin had everything we could possibly need from comfy beds to the peaceful covered porch. We traveled to the area for the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally. The close proximity to Hill City, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Spearfish Canyon and more made it the perfect place to start and end our days of riding all week. I would recommend this cabin to anyone traveling in the area - we will certainly be staying here when we revisit!

I spent five nights with my family of four at the Forest Edge Cabin and had a hard time leaving? The atmosphere of the cabin nestled back off the beaten path (yet close enough to activities) was perfect. We adored the porch for morning coffee, hanging out to dry after swimming and dinner. My 7 year old found raspberries on the property, searched the knot holes in the ceiling for shapes (he found a race car) and had us spending time together daily playing one of the many games. We loved our South Dakota adventure and can't imaging a better place to stay!

Our family had a short stay at this fantastic Black Hills cabin in May of 2013. The cabin is in a great secluded location, yet just a short drive from all the Black Hills attractions like Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and everything we needed was there. Hill City is nearby and has everything you need (groceries, restaurants, etc.) I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice little get away in the Black Hills.
