    This little place is the best! Everything is so nice, it felt like we were the first ones to stay there. It’s so clean, so cozy, the decor is adorable, everything is good quality. The towels are fluffy, nice silverware, nice pans & dishes. Nice appliances & faucets. The front porch is a great addition. Phone chargers & fans in every sleeping space. Thank you for all the details that made our stay comfortable!

    Wonderful property. Highly recommend it. We took our dog. So nice to have a pet friendly option in the hills. He loved the meadow next to the cabin. Wendy provides everything you could need including super soft towels and comfy beds!

    Private cabin with the forest as a backyard. The location was perfect for us for hiking along the creek and relaxing on the front deck. Beautiful view and lots of deer and blue birds! Host was very responsive to questions.

    What an amazing property! We stayed for three nights for an ATVing trip in the hills. The property is SUPER close to the centenial trailhead and just blocks away from the ATV rental area. It made for a perfect location for our trip. The cabin was perfect. The kichen was stocked with everything you might need. The porch was an amazing place to relax in the evenings. We used the fire pit and enjoyed smores and stargazing. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom even had extra toiletry items in case you forgot anything. The location was beautiful, and we thouroughly enjoyed our time here. We are already talking about coming back next year. If you are wondering if you should book this place, the answer is YES.

    We had 3 awesome nights to hang out at the cabin. We packed so much into our days that it was so nice and comfortable to come back to and kick our feet up at night. The views were outstanding. We had visits from the local doe and her fawn, a coyote pup one night, and breakfast with the birds outback. Super neat to see what the ranger station used to look like before they upgraded it. We would love to come back someday!

    Loved this cabin! Was exactly as described, and the owner was very helpful and communicative. My favorite part about this cabin is the spacious porch where we spent evenings enjoying the scenery of beautiful Nemo! Also, we very much appreciated how stocked the cabin is - it has everything you need!

    The cabin was well stocked and furnished. It was located in a great location, quiet and private. Lots of activities to do such as the many trails for riding and other activities such as visiting Deadwood and Custer State Park. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

    Great little cabin by the woods. Our two children LOVED the loft. The location is a great mid point between all the obvious stops one would make while visiting the hills. The cabin has everything you would want. Stop by a grocery store in Rapid prior to coming here if you plan on making your own meals which we did since they have every amenity to make your own food! There is a great little trail/creek not far from the cabin which we loved and seeing the sun come up over the mountains every morning was a plus as well. Will be staying again.

    The cabin was very nice and the view of the Nemo is breathtaking. The owners took a lot of thought on how to make the stay here at their cabin wonderful. So many amenities that were just a special touch. And the information of all the important phone numbers and instructions for all appliances, TV, mini split and the restaurants in the area with the picture of the menus. Very well done. Loved our stay and hoping to come back soon.
