Nice, secluded cabin in the Black Hills
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.

If you’re looking for Relaxation, quiet, beautiful scenery then stay here.
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.
