Great location and amenities
The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Black Hills. There were so many extras at the cabin, from the welcome basket, to the yellow rubber ducky for the kids for bath time. Everything in the cabin had a purpose. We had an excellent stay!

Cabin in the woods
The cabin was nice a cozy. Very comfortable. We were two couples and the cabin had two en-suite bedrooms so it was perfect. The host lives near the cabins and was always around and very friendly. Great location to visit Keystone, Nt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. Keystone was 5 minutes away. Had a great visit.

Getaway Weekend
Our cottage was exactly what we wanted....a chance to getaway from home but try to social distance with COVID-19. Quiet and private but yet a few miles away so much to go do and see. Great location! Only regret was we didn’t make it to the Farmstead—hope to next time!

Smith stay
The cabin we stayed in was amazing. The furnishings, the atmosphere, and the amenities were the best we've seen in previous stays at other locations. The surrounding environment was peaceful, quiet, and had an abundance of wildlife. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had. We were able to tour the hosts' yak farm which was very interesting. We highly recommend staying at this property. Close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and surrounding communities.

Yak cabin #4
We've stayed in quite a few cabins in the black hills area. This by far is the cleanest. (Their cleaning staff wear gloves and masks.) Its charming and welcoming. Everything you need is there. Julie left us some farm fresh eggs and a few other goodies in the fridge. We spent a lot of time sitting and drinking our morning coffee on the front porch watching the little chipmunk run around and the sunrise. Beautiful scenery all around. Its very quiet, great location to get to any of the must sees and restaurants. Looking forward to booking one of their cabins again for our visit next summer!!

Amazing Cabin Retreat
Either the best or 2nd best place we ever stayed at. Very clean. Cozy. Peaceful. Hosts were absolutely incredible. Enjoyed the care package of treats and coffee. Morning coffee on the patio listening to the wind blow through the trees or the evenings next to a fire looking at the stars….priceless. We will be back!!!
