Good Location but pretty worn.
This is a good location and the grounds are nice. The house is very worn. Furniture and Kitchen very old and worn. Propane heater in main bedroom blows right on bed so you are hot or cold. Towels and linens are stiff and do not smell fresh. Probably ok for a 1-2 night stay in the summer but early October was cold at night and the cabin felt cold. A manual propane heater was in kitchen but no thermostat so you had to turn off and on. Price is ok just be aware what you are getting. Only bath is in main cabin.

Hope to stay at the 'Grizzly Gulch Cabin' again
We stayed the 3rd week of September and had an absolutely awesome time. It's a great little cabin. We sat by the fire almost every evening until dark. The deer come by every morning and evening. We didn't see any donkeys in Custer State park so I fed our purchased donkey pellets to the deer. The description doesn't do justice to the little stream a couple feet from the kitchen door. They've built little rock dams to create a babbling effect in the stream, which is suitable for wading on hot days. The host, Linda, is great. We hope to see her and the cabin again next year!! P.S. no TV, but cell service is good and mobile data reception is good.

Rustic Cabin with Privacy
The cabin was exactly what we were looking for during our visit to the Black Hills! It was private and secluded and we felt the kids could be as loud as they wanted. They especially loved the bunnies and chickens and even named them! I wanted to stay and live there. Beautiful area and we saw so many deer, what a delight! Linda was a wonderful host and the sweetest person you’ll meet. She was fast to respond. We loved getting to know her. Wish we could’ve had more time! If privacy and a rustic cabin feel is what your looking for, this is the place for you!

Three separate cabins. One main cabin with kitchen and bathroom. Two other cabins for sleeping. One of the extra cabins had microwave and mini fridge but neither had bathrooms. Outhouse available. It was great for our purpose but renter should be aware. Also no Wi-Fi.

We loved our stay. The tranquility rated very high on our stay. To set around the fire pit at night after our adventures during the day was so nice. Linda gave us great ideas for places to go that are not advertised on any maps. She was so delightful to talk to. Linda, thanks for your suggestions and your hospitality.

We can’t say enough good things about this stay! The cabin is just perfect and secluded enough to feel away from the world. Yet it’s a close drive do to fun family activities. Linda was just the absolute Best and we will miss her. The chickens and bunnies were a bonus, the kids just loved them! You definitely want to stay here with your family or friends!

Rustic Getaway close to EVERYTHING
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Grizzly Gulch Cabin. We slept 6 adults and 1 toddler comfortably for 5 nights. The cabin and property were picturesque and had all the needed amenities. Sharing 1 bathroom was difficult, but we made it work. We loved having the chickens roaming around, the creek, and the screened porch the most! The only "negative" I would give it was just how rustic it was. It's definitely not for people who need all modern comforts. Overall, fantastic stay!

Grizzly Gulch Cabin Sept 2020
Excellent proximity to Keystone and Mt. Rushmore. Secluded and quiet with plenty of room for the 8 of us. No tv but none needed with the outside and inside games to entertain us. The only thing that was a slight negative was the stove. Small with only three burners which in itself was not a problem, but the coils only partially heated up. Oven worked well though. Linda was great and helpful when needed and just down the lane for a quick response. Highly recommend this quaint and cozy rental!

I would say we had a great time at our cabin. The only issue we had was bee's and wasps. There were a lot of wasp nest that I personally removed. My daughter was stung by a bee during our stay. My kids loved the creek behind the cabin and also the openness of the property. All in all, we enjoyed our stay besides the little critters joining us.

Phenomenal Trip
We absolutely enjoyed our time there. It’s quaint, rustic but absolutely charming. We had everything we needed. The atmosphere was so peaceful. Linda is so kind and sweet. She was available for whatever we needed. She went out of her way to make sure we had a place to watch the fireworks. We can’t wait to return! Would love to make this a frequent getaway. Convenient for all the surrounding areas. Close to town to go for dinner. Yet seems like your out by yourself. Neighbors are extremely quiet. You don’t even know they are around.Swings to just relax and listen to the creek run. We all just adored it. We even managed with the one bathroom for 4 ladies. It just worked!

We are ranchers. We work on the ranch plus some have jobs off the ranch. Our lives are constantly on the run. This was that perfect getaway time that we all needed to just relax .. or to have a lot of activities right handy to enjoy ourselves!
