Great location and everything you need

We had a great stay at this property. The location is excellent. The place was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. We were a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 teens) and had plenty of room. Check in was easy. And communication was great. They even went above and beyond to return a sweatshirt one of my kids left behind.

A Perfect Hills City/Black Hills Getaway Location

Our stay in the Black Hills was fantastic! The house was charming and spacious, with a great location close to the Mickelson Trail, making exploration a breeze. We also loved the variety of games available—perfect for family fun after a day of hiking! Plus, the massage chairs were an amazing touch for unwinding in the evenings. The only downside? We wish we had brought our own pillows—nothing beats your favorites from home! Overall, this was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Black Hills.

Nice home. Worked perfect for 10 people.

Perfect setup and space for our family. Right amount of bathrooms and showers. Great location. We were able to check in early. Overall it was clean enough, except the floor. It has a grimy sticky film on it. Kitchen could use some better cooking pans. But despite those things I’d recommend this place.

Black Hills Haven truly exceeded our expectations and had everything—and more—than we could have hoped for. The neighborhood was lovely, quiet, and conveniently close to town, with so many beautiful places nearby to walk, explore, and enjoy the scenery. The holiday touches made our stay extra special—the Christmas tree and stockings were such a thoughtful and cozy surprise and made the home feel incredibly warm and welcoming. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived and would absolutely love to stay here again!

We had a great stay and absolutely loved the location—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and relaxing. One of the highlights was definitely the massage chairs—such a treat after long days of exploring!A couple of suggestions that could make future stays even better: we would recommend adding some softer or higher-quality pillows for a more comfortable night’s sleep. Also, having a few more bowls in the kitchen would be handy for preparing and serving meals. Lastly, a small bench near the entryway would make it much easier to follow the shoe removal policy.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place—with just a few small improvements, it would be perfect
