My siblings, parents and I do a family get together every year and this house may be the best one we’ve stayed at yet! We had 5 couples and 2 kids under 12\. The rooms and beds were great and comfortable, the loft (which is open, no door, just for those looking!) was great and we could’ve fit more people if we needed to! Everything we needed was there, everything was in working order. The playset outside and the slack line with rings between the trees and the saucer swing hanging from the tree were all perfect for the kids! Plus foozball and toys and games inside! Great outdoor space for tossing the frisbee and football around that we brought. The house was in a very quiet place with plenty of open space but was still an easy 20-30 minutes from all the main tourist attractions like Mount Rushmore, Reptile Gardens, and Bear Country (with no traffic to deal with!). Overall we were very very happy with our stay! ##### Emily M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gayle Z.

We had 14 people in our group, ranging from an infant to grandparents, and there was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook big group dinners. We loved the huge deck with ample seating, and our kids especially loved playing in the yard and with the games out there. The area was quiet and it felt like we had it all to ourselves. The host and owner were responsive, friendly, and helpful. A couple of the mattresses could stand to be replaced, but other than that, we were very happy! ##### Katie F.

Everyone was able to find the property with relative ease. The grounds are taken care of and have a great seclusion aspect. In the morning a great sunrise and beautiful views. The wrap around deck is fantastic for families who have several different age groups. I would highly recommend this property for families that are looking for a quiet retreat. Fantastic communication with the property owners as well!!! ##### Andrew W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike W.

It was a very special weekend and this beautiful property was a big part of it. The property is secluded but convenient to Rushmore, Custer Park, Keystone, and other attractions. It's quiet, beautiful, very tastefully furnished, plenty of service ware, cooking, and grilling amenities. We've stayed in a lot of properties in the hills and this is by far our favorite. ##### Mike W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann O. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 6 adults and 3 children 4 and under We chose this house because we wanted three bathrooms and enough space for an active toddler and preschooler. We were not disappointed. The location is close to the kid centered activities we were interested in. Reptiles Garden, Storybook Island, Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake. We did have a couple of longer drives but they were well tolerated by the children. There was a wonderful swing on the property and a slack line my 4 year old granddaughter thought was fun. We had a problem with the water pressure that was resolved within 30 minutes of seeking help. As this was a family vacation and our grandchildren are young we did not do much hiking. Although we did make it around Sylvan lake. On the way home my husband and I drove Needles highway and also went through the Badlands. May is a wonderful time to visit the area. ##### Ann O.

We absolutely loved it. Everything was so clean and cozy, and it truly felt like a home away from home. This was our first family vacation in over 20 years, and the experience was incredible.The rooms were spotless, and we were all blown away by how well the kitchen was stocked—there were so many cooking utensils and supplies, everything we could possibly need was provided. The hosts really thought of everything, and it made our stay stress-free and enjoyable.Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. We loved every minute and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/62860baa-d994-43af-abb4-3313347eb752-1758754725087.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mai Kia X.

We were gone most of the day, but our kids had a blast at the house whenever we were there. The home was stocked with everything you could need, and the property is beautiful!

This cabin was perfect for our family. The setting was peaceful and serene and so convenient to everything we wanted to do. The owner/manager was quick to respond to my texts and was really so helpful. The tip to hike to Small Falls Swimming Hole was priceless. There were 12 of us and we had plenty of room in the cabin. The kitchen had all that we needed to prepare great meals. We did find that the shower in the master bath would slow to a trickle if water was being used in other parts of the house. But that was the only issue. I would and have recommend this house to anyone. Our family so enjoyed our 6 days there.
