Our family takes an annual "cousin's vacation" each year to the Black Hills. There are usually 14-15 of us in total with adults, teens and children ages 2-17. This cabin was by far our most favorite since starting the tradition a few years ago. It was so fun getting to drive through the Wharf Mine for the kids too (don't miss the lookout on your way in!).
The cabin was roomy enough that each family grouping had their own floor, bathroom and bedrooms which was super convenient with small kids to put to bed in the early evening. We personally stayed in the basement and it was very nice and cool after a long, hot day hiking. The older kids enjoyed the pinball machine and shuffle board. While they were overjoyed to find an xbox with tons of games to choose from, we made them explore and hike the hill we were on and they made lots of good memories. Our range of toddlers enjoyed hanging on the patio deck, having a secret space in the loft and all the space they could run! Adults loved that there was plenty of table space for all to eat and play board games at plus a gorgeous patio view for all to enjoy the sunset/sunrise with coffee and breakfast/evening drinks. And of course, the hot tub was a splendid way to relax in the evening after a long, exhausting day with kids and adventuring.
Our families and children look forward to booking this cabin again in the future when we have our next trip to the Hills!
