Enjoyed our stay. Drive up the mountain does take some time…15 to 20 minutes. So need to take that into consideration when you venture out. But the view is beautiful once you get there, especially from the master bedroom! Driveway is a little tricky, but we knew that beforehand and it was manageable for our three vehicles. Kitchen is very well stocked as well as the towels provided. There is a washer and dryer, but no detergent provided. All other cleaning supplies were available.

We had a great stay in this mountain home that provided plenty of room for our family of 6. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware of many kinds, and the grill worked great.
I wouldn’t want to try to enter the driveway in winter, but we had no issues during our stay in June. The host was very kind and we highly recommend.

Wow - what a view.
The property is in good shape.
Bathrooms do need updated- carpet in bath is a little disturbing
The drive way is very difficult - if you are not a good driver, stay away. BUT.... The view is worth it!
Overall a good experience .

PROS:
*Yes, the view is spectacular!
*The hot tub was fully functional and clean, and it was a nice way to enjoy the views.
*Cozy front room with huge windows was a nice place to hang out.
CONS:
*So many moths inside. We had 4 kids in our group that stayed upstairs, and every day they were getting rid of dozens (no exaggeration!) of moths, dead and alive from the bedrooms and bathroom.
*Lots of flies inside as well.
*Really uncomfortable beds. The bed in the basement was super saggy and my wife and I would just both end up rolling to the middle of the bed when we tried to sleep in it. You could feel all the springs through the mattress . After the first night, she gave up and slept on the downstairs couch for the remaining two nights. I stayed on the bed, but ended up with severe neck pain that lasted over a week.
*In addition to moths and flies, my wife saw a mouse run across the main room in the basement when she was sleeping there.
*Lack of maintenance - broken screens, wall clocks that didn't work, "non-stick" pans with the non-stick all scratched off, dishwasher rack that kept falling off the rails, filthy dishrack tray, etc.
*Wall to wall carpeted bathroom upstairs - felt very unhygienic, especially since the toilet had to be plunged during our stay.
*No entertainment besides TVs. This is fine, since nothing was promised in the amenities, but in a place that has no WI-FI, some boardgames, books, or DVDs would have been nice.
SUMMARY: If you are all about the views then this might be the place for you, and maybe you would even give it 4 or 5 stars. For our group, we were looking for a clean and comfortable place to relax and hang out after spending a day hitting up local attractions, and this was not it. We have stayed at many Vrbo locations, and for what we paid, we were expecting a lot more. It would have been nice to know what we were getting into so we could have made a more informed decision. I dislike leaving poor reviews, and tried to be as objective as possible in this one so you could decide if this is the place for you.

Mount Rushmore
The property and view is beautiful! My family came to see Mount Rushmore and get away from the city. The driveway is very steep but after the first attempt it wasn't that bad. The fridge wasn't cold but Julie sent someone to check it out while we were away. I recommend bringing coolers with ice to store extra food. Overall we had a great time and highly recommend seeing the sunrise on the balcony.

If you are looking for a quiet get away this is the place for you. The views are ridiculous. The hot tub at night with the night sky all around is amazing. The bed upstairs was so comfortable and to wake up in the middle of night and see the stars was the best. The kitchen is well stocked and the furniture was super comfortable. Julie was great to work with too.

The people that mention the driveway aren't kidding. We didn't make it up there until after dark and that steep and narrow driveway was a little freaky in the dark, but it was doable. Getting out was more tedious than getting in. However, the view makes it totally worth it. The house is awesome. Lots of flies in the house, but for this time of year, that is understandable. The biggest disappointment for us was the Hot tub. It worked fine but it was pretty dirty. I notified the manager and was told that the green tinge is normal... a green defender? I've never seen a green tinge in clean water before, nor have I smelled clean water that stunk. We showered before we got in and had to shower the film off of us after as well. Anyway, we didn't let that ruin our time there and the view from the house is like something out of a movie. I would probably stay there again as long as I didn't have to pay extra for the hot tub. Kind of silly to put an extra charge for using the hot tub when it wasn't properly maintained.

Annual family gathering
The cabin was beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous! The only problem we had was the road to the cabin was very very steep and washed out! I was thankful we had 4 wheel drive to get up the road!

Very isolated and quiet, great view, lovely deck. House is roomy and well equipped.
Early morning sun comes right into several bedrooms; some shades or black out curtains would be useful for later sleepers. The steep driveway is a challenge, both entering and leaving.

The house is a little off the main road, and the driveway is pretty treacherous even with just some rain. The house is very cool. Views are amazing. The upstairs is very dated, and has a weird inside roof that didn't seem very clean. No door to the King room, so it can be loud. The slider door to the deck could have used some love. Hot tub was great. Overall a nice house.

We loved our stay! It was perfect for our family vacation. The location was perfect for hanging out with a gorgeous view, but also just a short drive to tourist attractions. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub on the deck was a hit! The road getting there was an adventure, don’t let it scare you off...it’s not that bad and worth the short drive! :)

Perfect Family Getaway
The property is remote, but if you’re looking for a house big enough to host a nice family get away, this place is great! 3 levels, plenty of sleeping options and two large hangout areas. The kitchen was well stocked on pots/pans/dishes/glasses and having a large dining table was so nice. Just be aware, like the listing says, the driveway is steep and tricky, but there was plenty of room for our 3 cars to park/turn around. The one thing to be aware of, if you have trouble with heights, the hot tub is on a stilted deck that is probably 30 feet off the ground, but other than that, we would highly recommend the house. The property management company was also very responsive to any questions we had.

Black Hills UTV trip
The Kojac house was a great place to stay for a week with our friends on our UTV trail riding trip.
House had some fantastic views of the Black Hills
The UTV trails were fantastic and we will definitely be back next year.
We spent a afternoon on Pactola Lake on a rental pontoon and had a blast.
Definitely a great place to stay
