Great visit!

The cabin was clean and had basic kitchen supplies. Thankful the cookware was in great condition. Host has an attention to detail in preparing the cabin. Very close to Mt Rushmore and short drive to Custer SP. We really enjoyed our hikes and the area.

Fantastic location

Booked this for my wife, cousin and kid and they loved it. Tons of deer right outside, playground, beautiful place and atmosphere. Only complaint was WiFi wasn't working, but they completely enjoyed the cabin and nature. Really close to Mt Rushmore!

We had two great and easy nights at the cabin. The weather was beautiful and we slept with the windows open. The beds were comfortable including the pull out couch. We cooked on the stove top, made coffee and ice cubes. It's a cozy place but had all we needed. We didn't need much space as we were out and about most of the time. Mount Rushmore, crazy horse, Jewel Cave, Sylvan lake, needles highway and more!

Great Location

We had a great stay. Quiet area and really close to Keystone. There are so many places to see and this location was perfect for it. It was small for our family of 5 but youngest is 16 so smaller kids might be better than older ones. If it were just my husband and 2 small kids, it would be a perfect size. Easy check in and everything we needed. 5

Mount Rushmore, etc!

This property was an excellent fit for our family and our trip! The size of the cabin was just right. It was also extremely clean and well organized. It was equipped with everything we needed, too! The location made it super accessible to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, but was also far enough off of the main highway to allow for peace and quiet. We enjoyed just sitting on the porch and listening to nature. The surrounding area is just beautiful!

Perfect location

This property was truly amazing. We didn't have words for it. The train goes right by the cabin which was the highlight for our kids to watch every day when we were at the cabin. The creek behind it was so fun to watch. Close to town but far enough away that you felt like you weren't near anybody.

Wonderful stay in a small cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here. When we first walked in we thought it was really small, but once we got settled in, it was the perfect size. It was myself, my husband, and my 8 year old. She loved having her own room instead of a fold out couch. The location was awesome. Super close to Mount Rushmore. There is also the 1880 train from Keystone to Hill City right up the road that we did. The track actually runs right behind the property, so we could have seen it go by if we had been there at the right time. We also went over to the Badlands, Custer State Park, Rushmore Tram adventures, the mountain coaster, Bear Country (which was awesome) and we could have done so much more if we’d been there longer. Great places to eat include Boss’ Pizza & Chicken and Ruby House. I highly recommend staying here, and I would love to stay here again.

Birthday Wishes Come True

The cabin was absolutely perfect! All my husband wanted for his birthday in May was to see the monument one last time but this trip was so much more because of American Pines and their location as well as the pet friendly atmosphere. We recently rescued two pups less than a year old and this was their first trip away from home. We almost did not go because of them but Becki and Austin were fantastic. The office wasn't always available and I did want some Stronger 413 coffee but we had to leave before I really had a chance to connect with them. Will theck out the website for it.

Best birthday trip ever!!

My birthday was April 7 and my husband’s was April 8. Our children paid for a trip to anywhere we wanted to go. We chose Mt. Rushmore and Mike found American Pines cabins. Best choice ever. We brought our grown daughter and she loved it too. She wants to take her family back and stay in the cabins.
