Charming cabin

The cabin was everything we hoped for. It was very nicely designed, clean, extremely well stocked, and private but not uncomfortably isolated. The owner was very responsive and eager to ensure a good stay.

Loved this cabin! Was exactly as described, and the owner was very helpful and communicative. My favorite part about this cabin is the spacious porch where we spent evenings enjoying the scenery of beautiful Nemo! Also, we very much appreciated how stocked the cabin is - it has everything you need!

Short Stay

This cute little cabin was perfect for our family of four for our short stay in the Black Hills. We loved exploring the area and playing games in the yard. The cabin was very well-supplied and the kids loved sleeping in the loft.

Out of the way, a beautiful country location. Wish our stay could have been longer, to take advantage of the horse riding nearby. Everything worked properly and the host was super helpful. Highly recommend!

Perfect family getaway

This cabin felt like home the minute we walked in the door. The boys loved sleeping up in the loft and having camp fires under the stars at night. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the wildlife and scenery of the black hills.

Perfect!

Stay here for a great spot to catch all the touristy spots in the Black Hills! The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. We saw at least 10 deer close to the cabin on the morning we left.

Cabin was great and peaceful! Our family of 6 loved our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with kitchen items. Toiletries available if needed. Kids loved the loft. We were visited by a few deer each morning. Having washer/dryer on site was very convenient. Would stay again!

Quiet and Secluded

We had 3 awesome nights to hang out at the cabin. We packed so much into our days that it was so nice and comfortable to come back to and kick our feet up at night. The views were outstanding. We had visits from the local doe and her fawn, a coyote pup one night, and breakfast with the birds outback. Super neat to see what the ranger station used to look like before they upgraded it. We would love to come back someday!
