We had three generations of our family staying from ages 6 to 65 and this house was perfect for us. It was so clean and the views are spectacular. It was also so close to the trails and Deerfield Lake which so convenient. We drove our side-by-sides everyday and loved hoping on the trails so close to the Alpine Lodge.

The cabin was more than we could have asked for. A group of 7 of us with 4 motorcycles stayed here for the Sturgis Rally. Greg was an amazing host and communicated so quickly when we had questions. The location is beautiful, the cabin had everything you could need, and 7 adults had more than enough room. Having motorcycles on the gravel road was pleasantly easy! The road is well maintained and having access to one side of the garage was a great selling point! Highly recommend this property & host! If you are ever wanting to stay here for the Rally it’s a perfect location puts you in the center of everywhere we wanted to ride! Thank you Greg for an amazing experience!

We really enjoyed our stay & the cabin was perfect for our family. Lots of room and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Greg & Amanda were very accommodating. If you are looking for a serene place out in the country but still centrally located, this is the place for you.

This was a great place to stay for our group. We loved the neat view and the hot tub was clean and very peaceful to sit in during the evening.
The kitchen was really well stocked and the dishes and things were clean. We felt like the place was a good deal and had a cozy feel to it.
The only complaints might be the lack of climate control in the upstairs bedroom with the bunk bed. It got hot and with the door closed it was a bit of a challenge to keep cool without placing a fan near the screen door. Once we did that the cool air would feed in and cooled the room well. It was certainly not a deal breaker.
The owner answered our text quickly when we had a question and was easy to communicate with.
Overall great place.

Loved this stay
The home was beautiful and so comfortable for our large family. After a busy day in the mountains this was a wonderful place to return to relax. Greg was available when we needed him. The home is spacious and great for our large family to spread out at the end of the day. We would recommend this home. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful remote cabin
Greg was an excellent host! We were low on towels and some other supplies and he brought them to us all the way from Rapid City! This cabin is well situated for anyone who wants to ATV in the black hills. We did that one day and it was a lot of fun! Flag Mountain is an awesome place to stop! Be aware it is 30min from Hill City and any other Mount Rushmore area type activities you want to do. It’s kind of a long drive but is very scenic! Hiking up the ridge behind the cabin was also fun! We even saw some elk one morning. Very peaceful!

Cabin Haven
Our first night we all sat on the long porch and watched as a storm rolled into the area. We all loved the porch, the family room, kitchen, dinning and bedrooms. There was space to wonder and explore, kids to play, enjoy a bonfire and s’mores. The view was beautiful and the nights cool. One does need to watch for sudden weather changes in the Black Hills.

We stayed at the house for a little over a week. You can't beat having horses come up to the fence every morning, seeing deer right outside and enjoying the view. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was peaceful and enjoyable. We loved the quiet surroundings and getting away from it all. While the house is a bit of a drive from Hill City it is a scenic drive that we didn’t mind making.
The house and views are as described and the coffee is delicious! Would recommend to those looking for a relaxing South Dakota getaway.

The house and property were beautiful. After a day full of hiking, we enjoyed gathering on the porch and talked about our day as we watched the sunset. Then we relaxed in the hot tub and looked at the stars. We had 2 deer visit every night. That was so cool. Loved the location and the house. We will be back!

Peaceful Getaway!
Our family had a great time at the cabin. We didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub or fire pit because our days were full of so many other activities. The cabin has three levels. That was perfect for our two kids, they each had a floor for their own children. The little grandkids enjoyed the deck and playing games that where at the cabin. The cabin is very well supplied with anything you might need. They are asking to go back and it hasn’t been a week since we left! Thank you for sharing your home! Loved It!

Everything was good
We went during an unusually hot time in SD history, so that was the worst we faced. Otherwise we had a good time making s’mores and enjoying the sunsets.

If you’re looking for great house, in a quiet environment to really experience the Black Hills, then look no further. This house is just beautiful, matched only by the property it sits on. Yes, you have to drive on a few miles of gravel road to reach it but it’s not bad and well worth it! Between the walk-out, finished basement and the beautiful (log cabin) main floor, there was more than enough room for the 5 adults in our group. In fact, we rarely used the basement room and it was really very nice. The wrap-around porch was fantastic with just incredible scenery. We used the large, modern hot tub almost every night. With no light pollution, the stars were just amazing! The house was clean and everything in perfect working order. I know people have raved about the coffee machine, but this house has so much more to offer than a nice appliance. While it does take 30-40 minutes to get into a city, the drives are beautiful and no one really minded them given how great the house was. The owner (Greg) was super-responsive to our questions/requests. It’s a shame the house is so far from where we live because we all would go back in a heart-beat!

Great weekend away
We had a wonderful time staying at Alpine Prairie Lodge. We had our three boys ages 4, 6, and 8 with us, and there was plenty of room for us to sleep and play comfortably. The deck is great for morning coffee and evening wine. The hot tub was great at night when the air cooled down. We were close enough to the action to do some fun "touristy" things, but far enough away to have real quiet and privacy. The kitchen is well appointed, and they have the BEST coffee maker!

Enchanted Black Hills Getaway
The Alpine Lodge property was a delightful place to stay with a group of adults. There are 3 private bedrooms and one pull out bed in the basement as well as open spaces for entertaining and game nights. We enjoyed the grill and wrap around porch and the hot tub at night to see the stars. The location is quite a drive on the gravel roads, so would encourage guests who are looking for time away, to cook and hang out in gorgeous countryside. Given how spread out the Black Hills are, it is a prime location to get to the various sites in the southern hills if you have multiple days. Gregory was very attentive and helpful. Our only complaint was the cleanliness of the property due to a significant amount of dead flies each day that we found in the main floor rooms. Gregory was responsive when asked about it and committed to trying to solve the problem for future guests this season.
