Great place for our two families
This place worked great for our quick trip to SD. We had two families with teens and there was a good amount of space for sleeping. Would have liked a second area for hanging out, as that was a little cramped with 8 of us, but other than that, it was great. We enjoyed having a hot tub and management was great with communication and accommodation requests. The property does not have a dishwasher or a disposal in the kitchen sink, so that made meal time a little more work.

Fantastic Stay
We were in the area for a wedding and this was the perfect location. Had a washer and dryer for those longer trips and several rooms incase you needed the space. Easy to access and the owners were available for communication throughout the stay. Would stay here again!

The cabin is beautifully updated, loved the decor! There were 5 large bedrooms, more than enough room for our family. Beds are super comfortable. So nice having a full kitchen, washer and dryer right in the cabin! It was stocked with everything you need... dishes, towels, linens, toiletries. There are multiple decks outside to sit and take in the peaceful scenery. I regret that we were only able to use the hot tub twice... we were so tired at the end of the day from touristy stuff! Kids loved the playground and outdoor games. We went to the taproom many times and sampled wine and some local beers. Staff were so kind and helpful! So, so glad we decided to rent a cabin instead of staying in a hotel! Lots of memories made with our family. We weren't able to do a cave tour while we visited, will definitely be back for another SD adventure. Thanks so much for everything!!!

Great place to stay in the black hills.
Black Elk was a perfect place to stay on our family and friends vacation. We had adults and small children. The house was perfect for our party of 11. It was clean and the host answered all questions and was very helpful. The grounds were amazing for the kid to play in the evening. We will definiately be staying here again
