"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!"

The Hynes Cabin – A Spacious Renovated 1925 Classic with Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time at the cabin, we had a couple small things come up but the host was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this place!"

Tenderfoot Creek Cabin | 2 Bed, 1 Bath

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the cabin. Location wasn't very clear that there would be loud highway noise. We were constantly on the go but if we wanted to hang out on the deck or yard it was very noisy. All amenities were used and worked great except the living room tv but that wasn't a deal breaker and I'm sure was fixed by the next reservation! We will recommend this place and the Black hills retreat company to all of our friends and family! Thank you 😊"

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

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."
