We came for a long weekend escape and wanted to do hiking … wanted to be away from it all felt very secluded and bedrooms/ bathrooms accommodated all of our adult children!
We had an incredible time at Midnight Blu. The cabin had everything we needed, and the owners were super easy to communicate with. The hot tub was just what we needed after a day of riding the trails. We will definitely stay here next time we are in the Black Hills!

Beautiful property in a central Black Hills location. Perfect for a week away with our family.
My friends and I with our spouses enjoyed the quiet and beauty of the Black Hills while staying here. Lots of space to spread out. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub as well!
Parents (4) and Adult Children (2) getaway. Wonderful property with amazing views. Open living space great for eating meals and playing cards. Close proximity to site seeing yet far enough to enjoy the natural scenery. We loved our stay!
It was a very nice house. An awesome view to wake to every morning. Very quiet area. Was able to see a few wildlife animals, deer and turkeys, while at the house!!
The property had an incredible view from all angles. It was clean, well stocked with everything we needed , ie- towels, kitchen utensils, spices, cleaning supplies...
The beds were very comfortable too
It was close to trail riding, Deadwood, and Keystone so there is lots to do!
We hope to return someday!
Wonderful stay at this cozy cabin in the woods with amazing mountain views. The owner was GREAT to work with and answered all of my questions. We fit all 10 of us comfortably. We didn't want to leave!
Amazing property! Big bedrooms and bathrooms, amazing views, very clean, hot tub was great, very quiet, host was very nice and responded to messages quickly. Definitely would come back. Only thing was the two bedrooms upstairs didn't have doors and were not private but still would come back! :)
This property the home sat on was very beautiful, wildlife all around as well as view. The house was very clean with plenty of dish’s,pot and pans, and towels etc. would highly recommend a stay here for sure to anyone that likes beautiful Mountain View with wildlife to sit and watch. Loved everything about this place, the only thing I didn’t like was the ride from main road up to the house on a motorcycle but in a vehicle it was cool. Thank you for a great place to stay!
He had a great stay at Mountain Blue! The property was just as described, and no picture can do justice to the beautiful view off the back deck. We spent the bulk of our time on the deck or on the back patio, admiring the scenery.
The property was well stocked with amenities. The homeowner was super nice, and very responsive. The cleanliness of the property was fantastic, and that helped us feel very relaxed.
We are so thankful for our time in the Black Hills, and glad we found this property to enhance our experience. We would recommend a stay at Mountain Blue.
Great property with amazing views.
Was pretty well stocked with towels for the hot tub. Plenty of supplies, dishes, and other necessities.
The internet is slow but that may be the whole area.
No major bad things to say. Not a super baby friendly place for toddlers that can walk but we made it work.
We had a great week-long stay here and really enjoyed it. The property was well stocked in the kitchen and with other necessities such as towels, laundry supplies, hand soap, toilet paper, etc. The view was great! And we appreciated the hot tub too! The only thing that would have been nice to know is 2 of the 4 bedrooms are loft style— meaning open to the main floor. That made bedtime/quiet time a little more difficult if some of our group wanted to stay up. It was a minor inconvenience, but didn’t affect our overall stay. We would recommend this place to others!
We had our multi generational family together in the home. It was well equipped with 3 full baths. The only issue is that the 'main' king bed is in an open loft and the queen bed upstairs is also an open loft to the lower living space/kitchen. It worked out fine for us because we had adults traveling with us so bedtime was not an issue, but it does make privacy difficult. Overall the home was well appointed with all the items you need and the location is remote enough for absolute silence and gorgeous views of the forested hills.
