Amazing View

The Dakota Hogan is a beautiful home on Edelweiss Mountain that is centrally located in the Black Hills. It is a short drive to experience all the Black Hills tourist sites or just relax on one of the large decks on this property and soak in the scenery. It was large enough to comfortably accommodate our group of 8 adults and children. The home was well stocked for our needs. Thank you for the hospitality!

Emergency

Our initial property that we were staying at had a toilet in the basement that started overflowing with and they couldn't get it fixed right away. We found this place and the property manager was awesome and so was the property itself. Much bigger and half the price as our original property.

Huge House - Spectacular View

The house is absolutely beautiful. We only had our family of 5, but the house was easily big enough for a second family. The pictures don’t do the view any justice. The kitchen had all of the basic utensils/cookware needed to make a meal. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful views

House has beautiful views since you are really on a mountain and met all our needs. The decks are wonderful- we sat outside every night. This is a great place if you want to be away. The drive up the mountain is about 10 minutes so it's perfect if you want to be remote but if you are looking to be in the action you might look elsewhere. Property is well maintained and was great for our large family group.

Steep Driveway

The Hogan property is beautiful with many updates to make for a great stay. The location is about 2 miles of dirt road that is, at points, very steep and can be treacherous for motorcycles. I would recommend parking bikes at the bottom of the hill at the host facilities an then driving to the property in other vehicle. Julia is amazing! A fantastic host and a warm and welcoming individual who communicates timely and effectively. Great working with her. I will work with her again on our next fellowship weekend. Don

Family Getaway

Our family had a wonderful week away from the cares of this crazy year! My wife and I, plus our adult children and their spouses all enjoyed our time at the cabin and in the surrounding Black Hills. There was plenty of space, so there was room to spread out, and yet great spaces to come together. The views are amazing. We had fantastic views of the comet Neowise, and even used the telescope from the covered porch. The area is very quiet as it's a bit remote, yet we could get to most all parts of the Black Hills quickly. The kitchen is large and well equipped for all of our meals there. Highly recommend this spacious cabin!
