Great stay

Our stay was great. The cabin was lovely. The only issue was our check-in. The owner wasn’t aware of our booking so it made for a rocky start, but Deb was accommodating and polite. We enjoyed our quiet weekend.

Secluded and Peaceful Retreat

A winding gravel drive leads back to this property surrounding by forest land for hiking. The views are fantastic and it is very quiet and peaceful. The owners live on the property and have great hospitality and friendly dogs, however, there is still good privacy. Great place for 2 adults or a family of 4 to stay and enjoy.

Great stay

Fabulous stay. Cabin was nicely equipped, the land was very peaceful and away from everything. There is even a trail you can take around the property. Owner has little pugs that like most pugs love attention. Great for a family stay while visiting the area. Host Deb was excellent.

Great stay in the woods

Our short stay went well. We were only there for 2 nights with our dog but found the property owner and her dogs very nice. There are four pugs who you'll likely see a few times during your stay, so be aware of your pets if you bring them. The main house where the property owner lives is just far enough away to provide privacy. Everything was clean and well kept.

Hidden Gem

Close to town and attractions but also away from it all! Beautiful view and property, lots of wildlife too. We saw turkeys, deer, jack rabbits and indigo buntings on the road to the cabin. The hosts are fantastic and there if you have any questions. This place is a wonderful little getaway.

Rustic Rock Cabin

We had a wonderful time. Couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting even with the rain. So relaxing, just what we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Deb, Dave and the puppies were so friendly and super to work with. I would definitely recommend this place.

Rustic Rock Stay

Our stay was better than expected. Couldn't imagine someplace could be so quiet--absolute quiet. The cabin was remote but not too remote. The host was delightful, checked in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, made some small talk and was not intrusive. Host has three small dogs (pugs) who roam the property, but they are friendly--one sat with me for an hour one night on the porch swing--but they scatter if you tell them to. We also had two small dogs with us who I would call not social, but they got along well with the dogs too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet get away that is remote, but not way off the beaten path. If there was one draw back it was the miller moths, a small annoyance that goes with living in the woods--we learned after the first night not to leave doors open with a light on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Dream location!

My husband and I decided this was a perfect cabin-cozy, comfortable and clean. It was located far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the peace and quite seclusion we were looking for, yet close enough to town and the area attractions, we could pack our 2 days with sight seeing. Couldn't be happier with our stay!

Quaint Cabin in the Woods

This cabin is a cute cabin in the woods and the grounds surrounding the cabin are beautiful. Even though it's a cute & cozy cabin it needs some work. A thorough cleaning would be nice, we found a lot of dead moths in the upstairs loft. The front sliding glass door is not as secure as it could be and there is not a privacy blind, so you are a little exposed. Also, you need to know up front this cabin does not come with air conditioning and there are not any fans in the cabin (ceiling fan in living room). So if you get hot, like I do, you will need to make sure to bring some fans for your bedroom. We live in a big city and we don't sleep with our windows open, however, if you are fine sleeping with your windows open, then the bedroom will probably be cool enough. If you enjoy peace and quiet, and you don't care about having cable TV, then this is the cabin for you. Molly, is their pug bull dog and she is a total JOY!! We enjoyed seeing her every morning and every night!

Cabin was perfect for our family. Owners are super sweet and friendly. We had a greeting committee of 3 dogs upon every return to the cabin. We loved seeing the dogs each time!! Super close to Custer State Park.

Not ideal...rent a different cozy cabin.

The cabin was cute but desperately needs some cleaning. It is infested with moths we spent our night of check in vacuuming and trying to rid the place or bugs and moths. I messaged the host about check in the day of and after we arrived I was messaged saying it was Vrbo job to give that info. Let me say this I rent from agencies about fifty times a year and I always get messaged about check in from the host. Most people reviewed that it was quiet....well they definitely had a different experience then we did. The host started cutting the grass at 8 one morning, and running a water pump at 9 the other. We also were not fans of how invasive her dogs are...they jumped in our vehicle and came into the cabin while we stayed there. When we asked if accommodations could be made nothing changed. I also didn’t like the fact that there where no curtains...you feel like a fish in a bowl. We are from the country and from someone who rents frequently....I would advice to stay somewhere else.
