We loved staying at Wickiup this time of the year…Rally is over, traffic is light and locals are back to being SD friendly! This is my 4th stay here, 2nd at Tensleep….we’ll be back.


08/01/2019 - Dan and Gayle M. - KC,MO

Arrived on 07/28 and our time here is always a great time. Time flies and now we have to head for home….Dang it! Thank you Les, Jackie and Starla for all you do. We loved the pulled pork and all of the sides…. (peach cobbler yummy) See you next year!!


07/25/2019 - Eric and Elli E. - Lincoln, NE

Daddy/Daughter vacation and fishing trip. Elli caught her first trout on a fly right out of the cabin door. Then we went up Spearfish Canyon Creek and she also caught her first brook trout on a fly. Deadwood gunfights were awesome. Wickiup Cabins perfect as always. Thanks for the memories.

Elli - 8 years old - The cabin is close to the creek and I caught my first brown trout. I also like Deadwood because the shows were funny.

It’s so beautiful here. We could easily lose track of time. This truly is a hidden gem in the forest. We’re looking forward to our next stay year when we bring friends and family! So far, Ten Sleep is my favorite cabin walking out to the river each morning and relaxing next to it each night. Beautiful!

What a great place - love this little cabin. Very clean and homey. Could stay here forever. Starla and her boyfriend…what great people and very accommodating. It’s a long drive from Spokane, WA to here but planning on coming back here again.


10/6/2018 - Corey and Amanda, ND

Nice cabin, great creek with amazing view - had to leave a day early - BLIZZARD

07/15 - 07/18/2019 - Mike and Dana F., Sioux Falls, SD

Perfect cabin for two. Nice getaway for us without kids, dogs, working remotely, etc. Nice view, quiet and peaceful. Clean cabins. Spent our days hiking the canyons, shopping in Deadwood and driving through Custer State Park.


07/10 - 07/13/2019 - Laurie and Phil - Springfield, IL

We had a fabulous stay. Thanks to the staff who really make you feel comfortable and at home. Hope to see you all again soon!


10/14/2018 - Vicki and Jon, ND

Such a cozy cabin with breath taking views. We enjoyed having a beer by the creek in the evening and coffee by the creek in the morning. Even the snow didn’t ruin our experience…if anything made it more beautiful.


09/18/2018 - Shauntae and TJ

This is our first time staying here and it wont be our last! This place is wonderful. The scenery and the river is beautiful. We loved sitting outside at night looking at the stars and listening to the river. Awesome Awesome place!

09/01/2018 - Doug and Thelma, CO

Our 14th Anniversary - we stayed here - in Ten Sleep 14 years ago…..


08/12 - 08/14/2018 - Reva and Steve R.

Charming and comfortable. Couldn’t ask for better scenery. Thanks!


08/02 - 08/06/2018 - Aubrey and Travis, WY

Our 2nd trip to Sturgis together and our 6th wedding anniversary. We couldn’t think of any better way to spend it. We found this place last year and knew we had to come back. We are so glad we did. Les, Jackie and Starla are amazing. The creek running in front of our cabin compared with the rumble of the bikes make for a perfect back drop to write and drink a cup of coffee. Cant wait for next year!


05/28/2018 - Bruce and Patty M.

Great time as always! See you in the Fall!


06/25 - 06/29/2018 - Ed and Sharon G.

This is our third time at Wickiup! Years ago we lived in Rapid City for 4 years. We just love everything about the Black Hills. Starla and Les and Jackie are just the best! Showed us some new areas we have never been too. Rode up on the Can am trike from Grand island, NE. This is our 40th anniversary trip. I always find there are wonderful people on our travels! Feeling blessed.

We stumble upon on these cabins after mentioning to the some friend that we wanted to stay in Deadwood - heard about “Kool Deadwood Nights” and tried our luck to see if any available cabins at Wickiup. The staff was very accommodating and made some provision for us - had 2 perfect cabins - loved our stay and enjoyed the cabins and surrounding beauty. Amazing Relaxing Stay.


07/10/2017 - Les and Cathy, MD

Les and Jackie, we have enjoyed our week here! Wickiup makes a perfect home base to see all the things black hills. We have family memories from 1985. Thank you to all.

Such a wonderful, relaxing time here in Ten Sleep at Cheyenne Crossing.  Already looking forward to our next time here and will bring fishing poles next time.

We always have such a great time staying here.  Thank you Les, Jackie and Starla! You're the best!!! Love you! See you in 2017!


7/26 - 7/31/2016 - Bob and Peggy C., MN

This is our 4th time staying at the Wickiup!  This has been another fabulous stay!  Bob grew up in Deadwood so this is a return "home" for him.  I have learned to love the area just as much as him.  All of the Wickiup cabins are great but we especially like being close to the creek.  Bob fishes everyday and catches his limit every day!  I enjoy fish dinners every night.  Jackie and Les are wonderful people and we truly enjoy talking with them each day!  Until next time:  safe travels, God Bless.

7/22 - 7/25/2016 - Velma S., WY

Dear Friends, Thank you for letting me and my 2 daughters and their spouses celebrate my 91st birthday at this beautiful cabin site.  It is a wonderful, enjoy the cabin site, which is maintained magnificently.  I love to be out in nature to see all of Gods creations.  It is truly unbelievable to see all the trees, flowers and the clouds and especially the beautiful creek and other living animals and fish.  I truly enjoyed the nice, quiet space to relax and meditate.  Gods blessing to you and your family.  Hope to see you next year!  Thanks!


7/17 - 7/20/2016 - Brett and Katie H.

Les and Jackie, Thank you so much!  A very nice place.  The creek is awesome to wake up too.  Very relaxing here and Les you and your staff are great!!


6/15 - 6/21/2016 - Jennifer and Kari, NE

Thank you so much for giving our family this amazing place for us to get some much needed down time.  We had so much fun this week.  From trout fishing in the creek to zip lining in Keystone and every thing in between.  You certainly have a little piece of heaven here at Wickiup.  And we can’t wait to come back!


6/1 - 6/14/2016 - Sheila and Hulitt G., TX

Les and Jackie, Again we leave Tensleep our favorite little cabin, moving to Log Hut tomorrow, so more family can join us.  Rain or shine, warm or cold the creek still babbles, , the birds still sing, the pines sway in the breeze, the chipmunks rustle under the leaves and I hear the voice of God in the still, quiet of nights spent at Wickiup Village.  This year dirt got moved, borders got built, trees got hewn, grandchildren got blessed, rooms got cleaned and Jackie, Les and all the crew were the arms, face and hands of God as you greeted guests and made us all welcome in this wonderful place - "loaned to you to care for a time."  Love you all.

7/7 - 7/10/2016 - Shawn and Paul, SD

Jackie and Les, We enjoyed meeting you and appreciated your hospitality.  Very relaxing to spend a few days away from work, wish it could have been longer.  We particularly enjoyed the breeze blowing through the "tensleep", waking up to the smell of coffee on the auto brew and enjoying the sunrise.  Very peaceful!  Thank you and God Bless!!


6/27 - 7/6/2016 - Gary and Lori M., AL

Les, Jackie and the staff, My wife and I wanted to thank all of you for taking care of all the family for the reunion.  The accommodations were awesome.  Thanks again from all of us especially my wife who did not want to leave.  So many memories for her!

8/28 - 8/30/2015 - Don and Cathy M., Cozac, NE

Les and Jackie, Thank you for another great stay, the first time in 2012 in Brookside and this time in Ten Sleep.  We love the location. It is nicely placed close to some great rides.  We also love the stream and cabins.  We look forward to coming again.


7/7 - 7/10/2015 - Mike and Robin W., Oregon

Fun stay even when cooking under the tarp in the multi inch down pour and lightening and thunder show. An adventure not to forget. Now back to the Oregon Coast.

9/20/2015 - Mikey and McKinsey R., Glen Ullin, ND

We loved our stay here! We came for our 1 year anniversary. My husband surprised me, I had no idea where we were going or where he had planned to stay.  Love the views, the cabin, the sound of the creek, also the amazing Mickelson Trail.  We are planning a trip back next year.  Thank you for a wonderful experience. Excited to come back.


August 2015 - John and Charm

WOW! Les, Jackie and Starla. We so enjoyed our time here. Loved our visits with you guys.  We've stayed here before and we'll stay again!  You are all so helpful, kind, funny, great folks to be around.  Thanks!


6/17 - 6/20/2015 - Suewanna and Christopher

What an incredible trip! I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful experience.  We came here from Kansas City, MO. and I thought this was going to be an average vacation...to my surprise, the man of my dreams Christopher Lee asked me to marry him on the uncovered bridge! I was so totally surprised and happy. This will always be a very cherished place in my life and we will be back.  A very special thanks to Starla for taking pictures and making this a very permanent memory! We will be back. Most amazing people and places. Thank you Wickiup. 


6/13/2015 - Ben and Julie S., Ohama, NE

We loved our stay here! Wonderful place and wonderful views!

05/26/2015 - John and Melissa

We really enjoyed staying at this cozy little cabin.  Even though it rained for most of our stay, we still had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery.  It was lovely to hole up out of the rain next to the gas stove.  We hope to make it back again someday!

06/2015 - Katie and Chris

Jackie - Thank you so much for telling us about places to go.  Down by the water at Annie Creek falls felt like a holy place.  The cabin is wonderful - the stay here really made our trip. We both woke up this morning feeling as if this is the first day of the rest of our lives.

5/15/2015 - Carolyn and Jim, San Antonio, TX

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.  The cabin is so comfy. We will definitely be back. Visit us in Texas.


5/3/2015 - Scott and Jeana, South Dakota

We are over the moon happy to discover this absolute gem of a cabin.  Everything is beyond perfect.  So cozy and quaint. LOVE the creek!!!! Just the sound of it flowing by is pure serenity.  The surrounding beauty from the cabin is beyond words. Thank you to Les for a great welcoming reservation experience and to Jackie for the amazing directions. So easy to find and it was great meeting and chatting about Wickiup.  We very much appreciated our stay. So peacefully accommodating and such a clean cabin.  If only we could stay longer but next trip, we will be back for sure! Thanks again and God bless.


10/25-10/27/2014 - Eric

Les and Jackie, I do not know why it took me so long to discover this dream inside a dream reality of natural beauty.  It is beyond my understanding.  I do, however, know that I am going to return, year after year, until I am unable to, where upon my memories will have to suffice.  I have, I admit, been fortunate in my lifetime. I have lived and traveled to and through four continents, have taken cruise ship and cargo/passenger ships across the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean and now sitting here by the window in the Ten Sleep cabin, I have decided to turn all of my planned cruises into time spent in remarkable peace and beauty - right here every year.  I was born in Tensleep, Wyoming, and to me staying here represents the essence of having traveled "full circle" during my lifetime.  I found your cabins on a failed job search to Lead-Deadwood.  That must be proof that incredible success and happiness can come from failure. Thank you.


10/10/2014 - Juanita and Delberta, MT and ND

Les and Jackie, Mom and I enjoyed our stay. So relaxing and enjoyed our visits with both of you.

9/28/2014 - Dallas and Ruth

9/15/2014 - Dave and Arlene, Denver, CO

What a surprise to wake up to snow! It was a picture postcard beautiful. The drive along the Needles Highway was gorgeous after the new snow.  After it warmed up, we enjoyed fishing on near by creeks and ponds.  Thanks for your warm welcoming and hospitality. We will be back!


2014 - Kurt and Jean

Sorry we brought the rain but you needed it. Lol.  Thanks for the great hospitality.   Enjoyed visiting with you and Dean - great people. We shall return!!

Thank you for making our 3rd "Honeymoon" anniversary so great! We just love it here. Thank you Jackie and Les.

2014 - Lisa and Tuffy

Thank you for a wonderful weekend.  The cabin was cozy and the view was spectacular.  Les does a great job and is so welcoming as was Kristen.  Thanks for letting us check out a few hours late just so we could keep on enjoying the view and the sound of the stream.  God Bless.


8/3/2014 - Steve and Deb, LaGrange, WY

Thanks for making our first stay here. So comfortable.  You keep a nice place, we were pleasantly surprised to find a clean, cozy escape for our vacation! We are looking forward to our next visit when we can again sleep to the sound of the creek. Thank you!


Great experience. Thanks for sharing. Jackie and Les keep a nice place. Going to come back!
