Cute clean cabin!
This cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location, perfect for seeing all of the popular places in the black hills. The walk to the lake was short and easy! The only thing I would recommend a new mattress for the loft in the near future. The other beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean!

Name says it all!
This was the perfect place to stay if you intend to explore the Black Hills of South Dakota. Everything was within a 1 to 2 hour drive for us. Accommodations were great. Owner was very responsive. Neighborhood was clean and bustling with runners and dog walkers. Park around the corner was perfect for an evening stroll after sightseeing. This is a great place. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here!

Perfect for our weekend!
We were in town for Mines Parents' Weekend and this cabin was perfect! My husband enjoyed some fishing right down the street. We were able to move around town easily and quickly. We were close enough to everything we needed and wanted to do! Thank you, again!

Back Nine vacation
The property was awesome! The host was even more awesome. The host allowed early access to property which turned out to be a godsend. Host was very accommodating and answered emails/ text within minutes. I’m recommending the host to all my friends if they ever make a trip to Rapid City. Thanks again Tara and Chad.
