Great for family vacation

The family that manages this property is wonderful to work with, both online and in person. Our cabin was exactly what we expected, it was clean, comfortable, and the location was ideal for vacation sight seeing. I highly recommend renting from American Pines. Additional note: We took advantage of their ATV rentals. The process to rent/return was easy, the equipment was clean and in great shape, and the owners shared their knowledge of trails and technology to maximize our experience!

Crazy Horse Half Marathon

It was so great to stay at American Pines. I did the Crazy Horse Half marathon. My family and I stayed here and we had fun. This place is so easy to get to and it was clean. The other cabin folks were respectful of others. Lots of land to walk on and my dog loved it. It was centrally located to Custer, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, all of it. Thanks for making my marathon my best run ever!!!

small, well managed

These are truly mini cabins. fine for 2 people, short stay. Three drawers in the cabin, all with kitchen stuff. no dishwasher. bedrooms are small. If more than 2 people, best to keep all but tomorrows clothes in your vehicle. pretty dim mostly overhead lighting. no dishwasher, galley kitchen. the bathroom is off the kitchen, access is tight if someone is in the kitchen. 4 adults? They best be very good friends and have lots of good outside weather..

Very comfortable

The cabin is fantastic - very spacious and well located. It's very quiet, and I loved the playground and basketball court for the kids! Keystone town has everything you need. However, the supermarket is a bit farther, but it's not a big deal. The wi-fi is not great, but even without wi-fi, your phone will not work well at all. It must be the mountains; the signal is terrible. The only "complaint" is the bed comforters - they were smelling a little. I understand how hard it is to wash those covers, but it must be done. Everything else was perfect.
