We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Trails Log Cabin -- so aptly named! We are a couple of foodies and wanted to be able to cook for ourselves after a day of touring the sites in the Black Hills; the kitchen in the Cabin is very well equipped, with all of the tools you could want. We especially enjoyed using the gas grill. We enjoyed the ample size of the cabin, the comfortable furniture, and sitting out on the deck. Every morning we were there we saw several deer wandering around our yard or that of our neighbors; plenty of rabbits and birds, too! Since we had not been to the Black Hills before, our goal was to "see the sights" -- Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave, Hill City Railroad, etc. The short road to Silver City, off the main Black Hills highway, is only about 5 miles long; but it is a twisty-turny drive and so takes about 15-20 minutes. Thus it takes at least an hour of driving to get to the aforementioned sights. And back again! I suspect this cabin would be best for someone who wants to get away, relax, and not hit the road every day to see the sights, as it is rather isolated and distant from the main sights! We were only at the cabin 3 nights (2 days), so we didn't really experience the daytime quietude of the community. But we certainly looked forward to returning to our relaxing cabin each evening. No TV. No cell phone reception. Just quiet, peace, and rejuvenating conversation! We met our hosts, Rita and Tally, the evening we arrived and enjoyed a lively conversation with them about a mutual interest, bees!
