I wondered before we stayed here, how does someone keep a perfect score. Then we realized right away, cozy cabin, great amenities, very friendly hosts, etc.... The firepit with wood was a blast. It sits in the woods, yet you're right around the corner from Mt Rushmore, great hikes, restaurants, etc.... You will be very happy

Amazing Cabin Retreat

Either the best or 2nd best place we ever stayed at. Very clean. Cozy. Peaceful. Hosts were absolutely incredible. Enjoyed the care package of treats and coffee. Morning coffee on the patio listening to the wind blow through the trees or the evenings next to a fire looking at the stars….priceless. We will be back!!!

Cabin in the woods

The cabin was nice a cozy. Very comfortable. We were two couples and the cabin had two en-suite bedrooms so it was perfect. The host lives near the cabins and was always around and very friendly. Great location to visit Keystone, Nt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. Keystone was 5 minutes away. Had a great visit.

Smith stay

The cabin we stayed in was amazing. The furnishings, the atmosphere, and the amenities were the best we've seen in previous stays at other locations. The surrounding environment was peaceful, quiet, and had an abundance of wildlife. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had. We were able to tour the hosts' yak farm which was very interesting. We highly recommend staying at this property. Close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and surrounding communities.
