The cabin was clean, kitchen stocked and bed comfy. The location was great very close to all the area attractions. WiFi was a bit spotty but if it hadn’t rained we wouldn’t have been in the cabin long enough to notice. Highly recommend.

Family getaway

Great quiet location, and an exceptionally clean cabin! Family of 4 with two 13 year olds, and we fit perfect! The cabin and amenities were as described. The host also has UTV rentals right next store, so we rented one, and it was one of the highlights of our stay.

Peaceful cozy stay

My family and I were very pleased with our cozy cabin stay. The cabin itself was welcoming and very well maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the trees and we're happy to see a playground for our younger kiddos to burn off some energy. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodations and would happily stay again.

The cabin was very nice. I appreciated all the lawn area and the basketball hoop. We arrived at 12AM and they had the lights on for us. Unfortunately we didn't realize this and thought it must not be our cabin so would have been nice to know they were doing this. Cabin was a little smaller than I expected but it was very comfortable and clean. I loved the front porch, the quiet and the train!
The train traveling out of Keystone. We enjoyed seeing it and it was never noisey.

Joy at American Pines

The cabin was clean, well supplied, and located near many of the places of interest in the Black Hills, SD area. The large grass area behind the cabin was perfect for our lab, Gus. It’s a beautiful setting and we were blessed to see white-tailed deer every morning.

Foggy week

Bad weather in Dallas prevented my wife and I from getting to South Dakota, but my sister-in-law and her husband were able to get there. The said the place was perfect, with a great location. The foggy weather prevented them from seeing Mt Rushmore until the day they left. We hope get there soon.

Perfect cottage for girls getaway

This was the perfect size for a couple of college friends catching up after many years! Easy access to Keystone, Hill City, etc. The cottage was clean and comfortable for us. We enjoyed a glass of wine at the picnic table out front and sitting on the porch. Loved hearing the 1880 train as it passed by and waving at the people on board. Quiet and peaceful! Definitely planning on staying here again!
