Top Needles Eye Hotel Reviews

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

10/10 Excellent

"We were without a tv and were supposed to be receiving a credit on my card which I have not received yet."

Spring Creek Splendor. The Perfect Location. Private Lower Level Apartment. Fun!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place and conveniently located to all the main attractions of BH!"

Secluded Stay in a Wonderful Creekside Getaway

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the open spaces"

Grandpa’s Place. Exclusive, Stunning, Private Log Home. Firepit & Pond.

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful place to share with our kids and grandkids. Every family grouping had their own bathroom. We all enjoyed the paddle boat and kayak. The dining table fit all 10 of us very comfortably. Lots of extras in the kitchen. All slept well in the peace and quiet and enjoyed the phenomenal view of the stars from the deck. It seems so off the beaten path but it was yet close enough to nearby tourist activities. Joy was easy to reach and addressed our slight issue quickly. We felt so blessed to have this home available for our use!"

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

10/10 Excellent

"Great cabin with great location to visit the Black Hills, Custer State Park, and Mt Rushmore. Hosts are great, and made us feel at home. Perfect location if you are traveling with pets as there is excellent area for them to safely get exercise."

Peaceful, private log home with exceptional views and amenities

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Just was very organized and appreciated her quick response. Views are top notch. Attention to detail with the landscaping was an added benefit. Loved our stay."

Hottub Haven: Sauna + Firepit + Enjoy Wildlife

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property! Very clean, new, and quite perfect. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The distance to Custer is close for supplies, etc., but you feel like you're out in the woods and really getting away from the city. Morning coffee listening to wildlife, evenings by the fire, and the little lake was actually full of perch and bass. Only thing I will mention is if you are sensitive to ROOSTERS, bring earplugs."

Rustic Sanctuary: Firepit + Sauna + Wildlife Watching

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very easy to access with quick response. Check in was easy, Great location for checking out the attractions. Very peaceful and relaxing with a great view. Pet friendly and clean. Family friendly. Driveway is right off the road which made it easy to back our 25 ft camper in driveway. Would definitely go back"

The Haven-Rustic Secluded Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for access to all things Black Hills. The house was great, everything we expected. Really nice hot tub to unwind after long days of excursions. Would absolutely stay again!"
