Quiet retreat

We had a great time staying in this little Glamping A-Frame. It is away from the noise and traffic. The weather had turned cooler, but we had heating pads on the bed and we slept comfortably. We enjoyed our stay!

Living the Dakota Dream!

The Dakota Dream, as always, lived up to its name. The host is friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about the quality of the guest experience. Whether you stay in the lodge, or one of the Stargazers, no detail has been overlooked. On this trip I chose to stay in a Stargazer, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The setting, in the heart of the Black Hills, is beautiful, and access to town, and many nearby attractions makes this the perfect place to stay. You feel like a million miles away from civilization, but you arent.

Best stay from South Dakota to Wyoming to Montana to North Dakota....

We went on our honey moon from our home in Pa, we stopped in the black hills before we continued on to Wyoming and Montana.. I am so glad we stayed here... The a frame was awesome with the star gazing wall.. The best touch was the heated mattress topper. The host and the hosts helped was completely awesome. Very personable. Out of 5 different Vrbo properties we stayed at this was by far our favorite, I was waiting until the end to do my review. Best night of sleep we got.

Outdoor Adventure!

The property was as described. Unfortunately the weather was not great while we visited. This is something to keep in mind when renting an indoor/outdoor space. With that being said, this place will be amazing for anyone visiting during good weather. The host was attentive to our needs and easy to reach.

This was our 1st time " glamping " and we loved it! Even though we didn't spend much time here, we did enjoy the stargazer 1. Being able to fall asleep under the stars is so calming! Will definitely recommend and visit again!

Awesome

This was my husband's cup of tea and I thought I would hate it. But to my surprise I total enjoyed it. It was very comfortable with great mattress, soft bedding and fluffy towels in our own bathroom just a couple feet from cabin. Thought i couldn't live without AC but cabin was a good temperature night and day. Especially when you opened the wall and a breeze blew through. Makenzie was a great host and gave us all the hot spots to hit like the hot springs spa. Would definitely suggest staying here for the comfort and experience.

Mini vacay

This place was very peaceful and quiet. I did here a lot of noise the first night . That kinda scared me but come to find out I guess they said in town it was the sound of elks mating 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬😂 Gota love the great outdoors! The stargazer 1 we stayed at was nice and cozy. Everything was very clean. Next time we will come when it’s warmer. It was too cold and windy to open it up and enjoy what we really came for. We didn’t get to meet the hostess in person but replied to my messages in a timely manner. I most definitely will come back but next time I will make the effort to meet our hostess in person just to make me feel more comfortable also come when it’s warmer to really enjoy stargazing with our window open .

Slept with the Stars

The Stargazer gives you all the best parts about tenting without the unpleasant things we put up with. No laying on the ground—you get a VERY comfortable bed, with an electric blanket if you want it. No line for the restroom or showers—you get your own. And if it rains, you’re not getting wet from a leaky tent—you can lay there and listen to the rain fall and look at the stars overhead! We were in Stargazer 1 and loved it! Beautiful view and so quiet! It rained the first night we were there, but we enjoyed the Big Dipper framed in the glass. The second night we left the A frame open all night. It was our favorite night of vacation! We’ve recommended it to all our friends and would definitely go back!

Cozy and Beautiful

First and foremost, McKenzie is the best. This was our first A-Frame experience. This property is excellent! We had two clear nights to see the stars (it happened to be a 'dark sky' with no moon) and my husband had a blast taking photos of the Milky Way. We were gone most of the two days touring and not being able to take advantage of the quiet surroundings!
