Gateway Pines House: A Cozy Black Hills Retreat

The cabin was cute, clean but very, very cozy. It served its purpose for sleeping and showering during our stay. But if you are afraid of mice, then not the place for you. We were welcomed by the squatter (a mouse) the second we opened the door and stepped foot into the cabin. He stayed hidden throughout our stay. But every morning by 4am we were awakened by his scattering around the cabin and in the trash. He left little gifts (turds) in the bathroom for us on the towels and around the sink. Trying to go back to sleep after being awakened by 4am every morning was nearly impossible listening to the highway traffic of early commuters. But we managed to make the best of our stay as we are outdoorsy and can understand a cabin in the woods does come with extra unwanted guests. The location of the cabin was absolutely perfect for our personal travel needs. And it seemed affordable.

The property, the cabin the amenities were all first rate. Would definitely recommend and we’ll definitely stay here again.

Clean,Had a little problem with check in. Didn't see the email with the checkin process until after I arrived. Property was exactly as advertised and exactly what I was looking for. Property was quiet which I appreciated.

Perfect Cabin near all the Best Places to Visit. Positive: Great Location! Beautiful cabin. Close to so many National Parks & attractions. Restaurants & stores nearby. Away from the city! Very Clean. Great communication. Personal Hot tub was perfect after busy day. Negative: A little noisy at times in front bedroom due to the road, but not all night long. Other cabins available. This one had 2 bedrooms & slept 6-7

Easy check in with excellent communication from the host. The cabin was very quaint so not much to maintain upon discharge from the cabin .We spent most of our time enjoying South Dakota. Very little time in the cabin to experience and share.Thank you!
