Amazing Midnight Blu

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!

Awesome

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!

Beautiful retreat

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.

Week long stay in June

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.

Clean and quiet!

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!

Family Trip to South Dakota

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.

Great Lodging

What a beautiful view off the deck! Home was furnished with all you will need to stay plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels for the hot tub. Most any kitchen accessories available. The hot tub was nice. The water was not very clear and we let the manager know and she responded promptly and had maintenance man there quickly to treat the water. If you want peace and quiet this is your place! We would definitely book again. I wish they would had some more lounging type deck furniture, other wise really liked it.
