Cozy home base for our trip

We enjoyed our stay here, it was perfect for our roadtrips out each day. Quiet and clean, and in such a beautiful area! We saw deer strolling up through the yard each day, and wild turkeys one of the mornings. It's secluded but easy access to the main highway. The cottage is well stocked with practically everything you need!

Gold In Them There Black Hills

Found Cave Cottage would be a better moniker for this vacation rental; it is exceptional!A warm and cozy place with a back porch view of a serene meadow. Secluded and peaceful but close to the major attractions in the area. I highly recommend this charming accommodation for travelers to the Black Hills.

Not good

The cottage was perfect. We loved the porch. Our bikes were heavy, the road to the driveway had big ruts in it from the rain, hard to drive on a motorcycle. We had to turn 90 degrees on a hill to get a run up the gravel driveway. It would have been nice if both the driveway and road to the driveway were paved with asphalt

We stayed in the cabin from 7/25 to 7/28/24. The cabin is very cozyand well maintained. Nice to come back to a quiet place, after a day of seeing all the sites in the area. We never had to contact or meet Barbara the manager. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

It was a wonderful stay. The cabin is by itself & pretty private which we really liked. It could have had a few more pans and cooking utensils but we made due. The bed seems to be lower on the headboard end again we made due. Excellent place to stay.
