Cute and clean rustic cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean rustic cabin. Great location. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit with the owner in person but everything was as described and better. Very clean bathroom and well stocked cabin. We did do the private trail walk to the lake behind property which is a must. Loved our stay. 5 stars

Cute cabin but wasn't ready on arrival
Arrived about 430 pm. Check in was supposed to be after 4pm. We walked into the cabin to find the bed not made, full garbage bag on the floor. Didn't appear to have been cleaned at all. Went over to the residence and rang the doorbell. Owner came to the door so I told him the cabin wasn't ready. Appeared to be a communication problem as they thought it was ready. We then drove down the road a bit to give them time to get the cabin ready. Came back like 35-40 minutes later and it was ready. Giving them the benefit of the doubt but disappointed it wasn't ready. Surprised also that they didn't do anything for me after the rough start. After that things were fine. So hopefully they have put a process in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Family getaway
We came with our two young sons and stayed for a week and the cabin was just perfect!!! Very clean! Property was well taken care of. The host was great, and even let us know we left our van door open =) We got to watch deer from the porch and windows every day. Our two sons LOVED getting to be in the loft and play cops and robbers. It was so peaceful and so very close to all things Keystone / Custer and Black Hills parks. AND Very close to the playhouse! highly recommend and will come back if we have the opportunity!

Fantastic place to stay in the Black Hills
Fun little cabin to stay in near Keystone. Tucked away so you have peace and quiet. Our kids enjoyed seeing the deer come right up onto the property. Quiet little cabin with a loft the kids could stay in. Wood cabin so you get the outdoors fell, but also all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Keystone "Base Camp"
Although small, the Carol Jean Cabin served as the perfect "Base Camp" for our day trips to Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and Mt. Rushmore. Located in a beautiful area outside of Keystone, the cabin offered beautiful morning views, wonderful star-gazing evenings, and restful nights. Far nicer than staying at an in-town motel.

Cabin was super comfortable, location was great and bed was comfortable. Nicely stocked for needs. We brought breakfast and lunch supplies with us, slightly larger fridge would have been nice for us, but recognize that not everyone will travel like us.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. The Cabin was roomy, quiet, it had a porch swing which we used quite often, a small fridge, pots and pans if you wanted to cook, television, access to a barbecue grill if you so choose to use it. The Cabin is close to Keystone and all the major attractions.

Cozy Cabin
Our family was so happy we found this rental. It is in the perfect location. Close to Custer State Park, and Mt. Rushmore. It's a small little cabin that fit the 4 of us perfectly. Also enjoyed the deer visiting daily. What a treat. The cabin is very clean, has all the amenities. The owners are very nice. I highly recommend staying here.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is one of our favorites. It was clean and well stocked for guests. I loved sitting on the swing and listening to nature. A great location to enjoy the Black Hills and surrounding area. Beautiful decor and well maintained.
