Peaceful cozy stay

My family and I were very pleased with our cozy cabin stay. The cabin itself was welcoming and very well maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the trees and we're happy to see a playground for our younger kiddos to burn off some energy. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodations and would happily stay again.

We absolutely loved our cabin! I wish we could have stayed longer! The space was perfect for us (3 adults and 2 dogs). An added plus was the gas grill provided! We used it almost every night. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Foggy week

Bad weather in Dallas prevented my wife and I from getting to South Dakota, but my sister-in-law and her husband were able to get there. The said the place was perfect, with a great location. The foggy weather prevented them from seeing Mt Rushmore until the day they left. We hope get there soon.

My husband and I came for our anniversary trip and had a very nice stay! We brought our own UTV and were able to park our trailer easily. Cabin was very clean! Wi-fi was a little spotty, but we didn't need to use it much. Overall very pleased with our stay.
