There are no words for how Amazing this property is....but, I'll try. Our group had four adults and two small children. Upon arrival, Jody met us there with a bottle of wine and a local paper; truly a gracious hostess. She showed us around, explained how some things worked, and gave us great travel tips for the area.

The cabin is on a gorgeous piece of property with a lake and beautiful views in every direction. We saw deer, marmots and a ton of birds.

As for the inside of the cabin, the pictures do not do it justice. There are three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sitting area, rec room, kitchen and dining area. The deck sprawls around the home and is covered, so we were able to sit out during rain storms. There is a jukebox, pinball machine, endless dvd's and board games. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware, and the rest of the cabin has all the ammenities you would have at home. After a long car ride from Chicago, it was a pleasure just to get here and relax.

The local grocery store has everything you need, but I found the prices to be slightly high; so if you're driving, try to bring what you can with you. Lots of things to do in Custer, Keystone, Hill City, Hot Springs; kids and adults all had a blast.

We will absolutely be back! :)

This place was a great place to stay. One of the funnest trips we have ever had. We went just after sturgis and have not had a better more relaxing vacation in a long time. My wife and I along with our three kids had a great time. The owner was great as well.

I cannot say enough great things about this property, it exceeded all expectations. The property was incredible, the view breath taking, and options for being and eating outside numerous. The large wrap around porch, also back porch, was perfection itself for viewing, meditation or star gazing at night. Indoors had every comfort of living grand and yet one felt close to nature. The owners of the property were outstanding; Jody returned our phone calls right away, emailed photos, made us feel welcomed from the first contact and made sure we had everything we could possibily need. The house was spotless, beds which provided a good nights sleep everyone dreams about, and bathrooms to rival the best hotels. I could go on and on, but let me just say I could stay here again,again, and again. It's been almost a year and I long to return. For all of you blessed enough to enjoy this rare treat, share the news with others. Living with Spirit ~ Deborah and Chesleigh

What a fabulous place to stay! We went in November and it was beautiful even then. The cabin is most magnificent and had everything we needed. Jody and Vernon were exceptional hosts. The deer kept us company, the trees gently swayed in the wind, the stars twinkled at night, and the air was fresh and crisp for morning walks. Being so close in proximity to all the signts is a great plus, but at night, you can return and enjoy the beauty of the area. We highly recommend this lovely cabin and all the features it has.

We went on a family vacation the end of Febuary. We had a great time and this place is beautiful and yet so close to town. It is a quiet place. My whole family truly enjoyed it~we had a great time. I would suggest this place to anyone. Clean and neat.

This log home is so much more than you see in the pictures. Our family had so many activities planned and the minute we walked in the door we wanted to cancel them all. Relaxing, Peaceful, Wonderful Scenery and Wildlife. Every little detail has been thought of to give you an authentic South Dakotan experience. We would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. Thanks.

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Whitetail Springs Ranch. The location is private, quiet and beautiful. The house is comfortable, very attractive and has everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It's exactly what we'd hoped for. We will definitely stay there again.

This is a wonderful property with all the
comforts and luxury of a 5 star rental. Very
private, yet close to Custer and Hill City.
Mountain biking and hiking and great
dinning minutes away. Property is
surrounded by national forest, excellent
wildlife viewing. Jody has thought of
everything, including mountain bikes and
adding ducks to the pond! The deck is
wonderful for relaxing, eating and taking in
your morning coffee. Jody is a wonderful
hostess, who has fresh eggs and a bottle of
wine waiting for your when you arrive. We
will stay at Whitetail Springs Ranch again!
