Clean, comfortable, convenient

The cabin was super clean and comfortable, in a very pretty location that's convenient to a lot of Black Hills day trips. We stayed in the off-season, so not much going on, but I imagine the taproom and community bonfire during high season would be great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
