Nice, secluded cabin in the Black Hills

6.0

We enjoyed our stay at the Papoose. Pat (the owner) was great with her communication. Our biggest objection to the cabin is the sleeping arrangements in the loft and the bathroom on the main level. We were aware of this when we booked but, being older, we didn't appreciate what a problem this presented for us at night.

Remote. Seeing wildlife. Quiet. Was great watching the storms pass over. Full kitchen. The owners are super nice.

− This is a double sword question. Cabin has no internet, no TV stations but does have a radio w/ 1 or 2 stations. Even though there was no TV or internet it was great to disconnect ourselves from those for awhile. We did get phone service when we went to town. Check our messages and e-mail. Then we continued our day of fun. Parking a 16’ cargo trailer was a little bit difficult but it can be done.

One way to disconnect from everything

The peace and quiet

− Not a thing

Cozy contact with nature

10.0

It was my second time there. Likewise the first time, it was very welcoming and cozy. The proximity with nature was exceptional. We get to see some deer walking around 😊

− The only inconvenience was the lack of internet connection, that makes difficult to drive around without gps. but it is also a good thing if you want to disconnect.
