Majestic Cabin near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay in the area! The home is quiet, located in a tucked-away area within easy driving distance of all major attractions in the area. The home was immaculate throughout and filled with quality furnishings that accentuated the luxurious rustic theme. The host was very responsive to a few questions prior to our visit and provided more than enough supplies for the week. The kitchen had all the equipment needed for chef-style meal preparation and the general layout of primary suite and other bedrooms separated by the common space provided plenty of space to gather or for alone time. The pictures provide a small glimpse of the magnificence of the home. Overall, a true lodging extraordinaire in an incredibly beautiful natural setting!"
