'Hakuna Matata Cabin' - 11 Mi to Mt Rushmore!

Nestled in Black Hills National Forest, this 3-bed, 2-bath cabin is the ideal family getaway. Nearby attractions like Storybook Island, Dinosaur Park, and lakes will please the kids, while parents will love the proximity to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial. Enjoy hiking and rock climbing each summer. During the winter, the location is great for hunting and ice fishing or visiting the winter recreation areas to cruise the crisp ski slopes or the 350 miles of manicured snowmobile trails.

Quiet Christmas getaway
This was the prefect "home base." Centrally located near attrations by Hill City and Keystone, it was also very clean and comfortable. The home was well stocked with all the things we needed to cook and serve meals. It felt private and relaxed.

Veterans day getaway
We were traveling to Rapid City to watch our daughter perform in a music competition. We had a great time at Hakuna Matata and look forward to staying again. The cabin was clean and comfortable and we had plenty of room to hang out. It was also close to the sights and it was great to come back to after hiking to the top of Black Elk Peak.

Great house in good location
The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our 9 day stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and in a good location to drive to all the places we wanted to visit (Bad Lands, Devils Tower, Custer State Park, needles highway, Mount Rushmore, Windcave National Park). Our groups of 6 older adults highly recommend it.

Perfect fit
Hakuna Matata was the perfect fit for my family of 5! Great location for exploring the southern hills and enough room for everyone to relax in the evenings. It was so nice to sit in the hot tub after sending the kids to bed - vacation with kids with some perks for Mom and Dad too!

Perfect Gem in the Heart of the Black Hills
This home away from home was the perfect spot to catch up on some R&R after a long day exploring the Black Hills and Custer State Park. It is was very centrally located to be able to see everything we wanted to in the short time we were there. We would definitely stay there again, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect place to stay!
