Badlands and Mt Rushmore vacation

The property is an older cabin used by the family that owns the property. It is secluded and quiet. It is reasonably close to a lot of things we wanted to see and do. We were able to make meals every morning and night without difficulty. We had 9 people and were able to sleep comfortably.

Great place for a small gathering

My fiancé and I had a group of friends visiting so we took them to the black hills for a true South Dakota experience and the property gave that. Turkeys roamed the driveway each morning and got to see an elk in the pasture. Great place, clean and had everything we needed to grill and have a good time .

First Sturgis Rally trip

We had 6 adults staying at the house for a week and it was perfect! Being from NC, the owner had to explain the lack of a/c, but leaving the windows open at night solved the issue. Horses are close by for viewing pleasure, cows, dogs, deer, and the ever-present bird that sang a beautiful song each morning!! Centrally located to all the scenic monuments and mountains!

The pictures tell the story

If you’re looking for fancy this isn’t it but if you want rustic then this is exactly what you will get. We had 4 teenage boys that wanted camping and parents wanted a kitchen, mattress and flushing toilets. This was a great compromise. Boys slept in hammock outside on warm highs and loved it. Adult had showers and a full kitchen for feeding hungry teenagers. A perfect match.

Showers don’t have that great of water pressure but it worked, rooms needed to be vacuumed and dusted. Has no AC so it was a little warm and sweaty at night but overall would stay again.

Sturgis rally

Enjoyed the beautiful black hills and all it has to offer; was our first time attending the rally. The cabin was located in what I believe to be the perfect location, it is in the middle of most all the attractions. The place is an old family home now used as a retreat, the host was very friendly and attentive. The cabin is away from the main road and is very quiet and peaceful, it is a little out dated but the pictures do not lie . The place is clean and served it’s purpose for us, I have no complaints and would definitely stay again. My advice is to keep an open mind, remember that you are in the woods and enjoy the outdoors and all it has to offer. The place is clean and has everything you need; we were able to use the garage to shelter our bikes from the hailstorm. Thank you Don and Bev, we hope to be back soon….

Disliked: Cleanliness

Filthy - We left it cleaner than when we arrived.

Word of CAUTION: I could tell it was not a 5 star facility, but the location facilitated our Black Hills exploration perfectly. Upon arrival we were greeted by an overflowing garbage can. That was corrected & special toilet paper was dropped off the next day. As I had made these reservations, I found myself appologizing to my friends for the ripped, torn nasty stained broken furniture repeatedly. But the last day the owner wanted us to remove all bedding & towels & start the laundry for them (which I actually did). But then to top that off, while cleaning up at departure, we found a used syringe behind the couch. Needless to say, this is Not what you want to pay to experience. Disgusting

My family and I had a wonderful time at Dan's cabin! It was in great location, away from the busy but close enough to drive everywhere. Dan was great with communicating during our stay. Next time we are in the hills definitely will want to stay there again!

Gorgeous location, spacious cabin

This cabin is located on the edge of the Black Hills. We loved the beautiful location, and couldn’t get enough of sitting on the deck looking out at the forest. The cabin is large. We have a family of ten, and we fit very comfortably. The kids enjoyed the shelf of games, dvds, and Netflix for times we needed a break from sightseeing. We loved that the cabin had plenty of towels, sheets, and blankets, and the kitchen was stocked with dishes and everything needed to prepare meals. The washer and dryer worked well, and the beds were comfortable. It was about 30-60 min drive to the various nearby sites we wanted to see, like Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer Park. Within 10 min was a lovely beach and excellent Mexican restaurant. The owner of this cabin was very communicative and answered every question in a timely manner. He genuinely cared about how our stay was going. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and highly recommend this rental.
