Know that you are getting remote and quiet. This is what our group wanted and it delivers perfectly! To include bugling elk! Amazing kitchen and baths. Beds were a touch soft for our crew, but that’s a very personal preference. Fire ban in effect during our stay because it was so dry. We were looking forward to fires and I’m sure they would have been top notch with the beautiful and substantial fireplace and fire pit. Thanks so much Dave & Sandy for creating such an amazing home and stewarding these very special lands. ##### Shannon C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce H.

It’s set in a beautiful little valley. The only sounds you hear are French Creek meandering through the property and the birds singing. The cabin is fully supplied with many items including shampoo, body wash and conditioner. Plenty of space for a group to spread out and relax on the wraparound deck. If that’s not enough jump in the nice hot tube or go down to the fire pit and make some s’mores. This place is perfect. Cannot say enough about our host Dave. He has great communication skills and will text you once in a while to see if there’s anything that you need to make your stay even better. You can’t go wrong renting this property.

Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Something for everyone Our entire family enjoyed the stay. This house is large and beautiful with ample supplies and furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a good supply of toys and puzzles for the kids plus a pool table. The house was very clean and everything in order. Kids enjoyed bikes, picking wildflowers and berries and riding the trails in RZRs and especially the swing. The adults appreciated the quietness of the area, the amazing meadow of purple wildflowers in front of the house, sunrise coffee on the deck, the fire pit and the absence of traffic and noise. The layout and design of the house provided privacy for each family and ample gathering places for meals. Grilled and ate meals on the large deck. The baby turkeys were entertaining and a surprise. The house is fabulous, Dave maintained daily contact with us ensuring we had all we needed and understood the access trail for the RZR. I would recommend this house if you want to put your feet up, have a glass of wine and experience having a piece of the Black Hills all to yourself. Perfectly relaxing but only minutes from the bustle of tourist activities. It's also perfect for bringing ATVs to go out on the many numbered trails accessible. Some of our group even got to climb the Bear Mountain Lookout Tower. It's a ten! ##### Colene R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie T. Aug 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This place is fantastic! Our favorite family vacation so far and it had a lot to do with where we stayed. The cabin was very modern, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for a good time. The kitchen was big and well-stocked, the beds were comfortable with nice linens. Eight of us stayed and we had plenty of room. There were two large tables where we could gather and play games. A large hot tub was on the back patio right out the door so very easy to get to and the view was beautiful! There was an amazing fire pit all ready to go and the host had corn hole, a hammock and a large swing the kids enjoyed. The best part was the view from the back deck!! It looked over a beautiful valley surrounded by pine trees. I loved the view every morning and evening and was sad to leave. The deck had a grill which we used twice and a table with very comfy patio furniture to sit and enjoy the view and visit with each other. The cabin is tucked away where you have lots of peace and quiet and privacy. Yet it was close enough to all the fun things we wanted to do at Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and the surrounding sights. On our last night there the kids wanted to forgo some activities and just hang out at the cabin because it was so nice and comfortable. We grilled, enjoyed the view, played games and enjoyed the hot tub. Wanted to use the fire pit but it was raining. My family enjoyed this place so much we’re talking about coming back every summer. David was nicest host and made our stay so pleasant. ##### Debbie T. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie B.
