We loved staying here! Marcy and Ken are wonderful hosts. The cabin is comfy, has everything we would need. We enjoyed the quiet and the wildlife that visited us as well as the star viewing (we even saw Comet Lemmon). The location can't be beat for visiting the local State and National Parks. Some of our favorite nearby places are Custer State Park, Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road. We can't wait to stay here again.

If you’re looking for clean….

We have traveled and stayed in many places, and this is by far the most clean we have been to. The location is perfect for all the sight seeing. And the hosts are great. We have nothing negative to say. Beds were very comfy. We stayed for 8 days, cooked a lot, and did not miss not having a stove top.
