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!

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!
