Marilyn was very helpful and the cabin was beautiful! We missed having plumbing to the cabin with three little kids, but it wasn't too bad!

We loved staying at one of the cabins at Buffalo Rock Lodge! The setting was gorgeous, nestled in amongst the trees and rock outcroppings, and we enjoyed the visiting deer and wild turkeys. Our cabin was well-appointed, clean and comfortable, and the central grill/picnic area was great for cooking dinner and chatting with the neighbors. Marilyn is really hospitable, from the detailed instructions to the complimentary snacks she left us. We can’t wait to come back!

My buddies and I did my bachelor’s trip at her cabin for the weekend and had a great time. The fire place is amazing and the bathrooms are WAY nicer than I would have expected for a campground! I would love to go there again in the future!

What an absolutely beautiful property! The cabin was amazing, with comfortable beds, a nice tv, wifi access, and everything you'd want from a "glamping" experience. We saw deer in the morning and the clearest night sky I've ever seen. 10/10 would recommend.

The cabin was beautiful and even better than expected.
There is a cooktop in the kitchenette. A very nice surprise.
The shower house was clean and tidy. Super pleased with it.
Nice gazebo for cooking outdoors and play area for children was super!
Overall loved this spot! Definitely saved for future trips to the Black Hills.

Absolutely recommend staying in one of Marilyn's clamping cabins. The cabin was nice and spacious and had everything we needed for exploring South Dakota for a few days. The property is absolutely gorgeous and Marilyn and her team were very accommodating and helpful when we had questions. The playground and community fire pit were so fun - my kids made friends with other kids from all over the country. Highly, highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay in the Woodpecker cabin. It was even better than the pictures. My entire family was comfortable and had plenty of room. (Seven total, 6 adults and a teenager) Marilyn and staff made sure we we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

It was perfect for our family of 5. Marilyn greeted us and accommodated a later check in from us. She was so kind and the place was so well taken care of!! My kids loved the playground after visiting Mount Rushmore.

Marilyn was amazing and the place is an absolute gem. It was by far the cleanest Airbnb accommodation I have EVER stayed in. No funky smells, no random flith left around the edges, it was precisely what I would provide for guests in my home. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Marilyn is the sweetest. We had to cut our stay short due to a change in our travel plans, and I am very sorry to not have been able to stay longer. The location is beautiful and the cabin was surprisingly cozy. I enjoyed everything about this place.

Séjour très agréable, nous avons vraiment apprécié l'endroit, la vie en plein air avec la cuisine d'été, la proximité des lieux d'intérêt et l'accueil de Marylin et de son équipe ! La région est très belle et tout est facilement accessible. Les amateurs de nature seront ravis d'un séjour dans cette jolie cabane...Allez-y sans hésiter !!
