This place was fantastic. We had a great stay. I wish we would of had a day of non site seeing to just relax there for a whole day and do nothing. It was cozy and roomy. Great outdoor area. The very upstairs room does get warm and the ac unit could be updated but we are looking forward to book this place again. It's also close everything.

This cabin experience of six days matched the wonderful reviews that I had read. Although off the beaten trail, GPS got us right there after dark. The kitchen was well stocked, the many bedrooms provided the privacy and quiet that our family of four adults and three children needed. The proximity to Crazy Horse, Custer, Mount Rushmore and Hill City allowed for the right balance of activities. Although we stayed during a heat wave in Rapid City (a one hour drive away), this site was appreciated for its much lower temperatures. The Skyview cabin has a remarkable history, and the historic photos inside provided context. WiFi, games and children’s books were appreciated. Despite its age, (90 years) the cabin was clean and the beautiful grounds allowed for safe play for the children. The hosts were excellent communicators! We would be happy to stay again in the future.

This former CCC cabin (updated of course) was a great place for our family. The surroundings were beautiful and with only a vehicle passing by rarely, it was peaceful. We heard and saw a variety of birds, deer, and rabbits. The parking area was a good sized for 2-3 vehicles. The firepit was nice to have - we used it several times - the wood was available and only asked for a donation. The beds were all comfortable in the 5 bedrooms - 6 queen or full beds. The kitchen, though on the small side, was well-stocked. The bathrooms were nicely remodeled. There is no TV, but wifi worked fine (we liked having no TV!). There really was nothing we lacked. We were within 20 minutes of Crazy Horse, 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, 1 hour to Rapid City, and 15 minutes to Custer (the city). The week we were there was cool, so did not use the air conditioners. If you don't like gravel roads this may not be the place for you - the road in was a few miles of gravel road - seemed to be well maintained. It was well worth it in my opinion. Cell phone reception was not good at the cabin, but with the wifi, it worked just fine. Theresa was very helpful and easy to contact.

We had a wonderful time on our fathers day weekend 4 wheeler trip with our group of Dads, super clean house in a beautiful location. The host's were very accommodating on every reqest. Highly recommend staying here.

Had a great time and Sky View served as a great home base for the week. Kids were actually excited about the location and yard. They loved the cabin and all of its “kid friendly “ extras that proved to be an all around great trip!

Great place too stay
