Great place to stay. No problems at all. Would 100% definitely stay here again. The hot tub was fun. Nice to be outside of town and in a very nice well built cabin.
We stayed in Cabin 1 for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. It was stocked with everything we could need to cook a couple meals and have a great basecamp to explore the Black Hills and Hill City. Everything was clean and put together. We will definitely be back in the future. I recommend staying here for your next visit to the area.
Great family business. The owners were so nice and liked to visit. Love the amenities the cabin comes with. Great view all around. We do plan on staying there next year.
Very nice place! Clean, cozy cabin! Very good price. Thank you owners for such a great place!
Are you looking for a reasonable $$$ place to stay in the Hills? This is it! Very nice couple I stayed in a motel room it had a bonus room with a door for privacy ! Very neat and clean not a bug in sight. The back was my favorite a Babbling Brook and saw the cutest thing yet a mother duck with 5 area small baby ducklings swimming down the Creek. Very peaceful. Next time I'm in the Hills I will be staying here again! You could book your whole extended family here!
The owner Tom, and his wonderful wife are great hosts. Clean cabins right off the highway and a beautiful gazebo and Creek that runs through the back. Very peaceful and quiet! Highly recommend!!
I stayed here with my dad and brother and it's such a nice place that was clean and centrally located. Will definitely stay here agian in the next coming years. Wonderful people taking care of the place as well!
The owners of this property was amazingly sweet, funny & made sure we felt at home while we stayed there. The cabin & motel were very comfortable, and had all the amenities you could need & if you didn’t have it, they would provide it if they had it. I had mistakenly forgotten spoons & They provided us with some. They were amazing to our Dog (Walter), he loved being able to just roam with us, & enjoyed the hiking & star gazing we did right outside our room. The stories, lessons & the view make me wish I could give them 10 stars & recommendations galore!
