Peaceful retreat in South Dakota

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful surroundings and wildlife. The hosts are amazing and we had a great time visiting with them. Close enough to Custer State Park to drive in every day to see and enjoy the sites in the Black Hills area and come back for a relaxing evening.
Beautiful sunset

Amazing cabin and hosts!

Everything about our trip was perfect!! The cabin was great for our family and the hosts were the best! There to greet us when we arrived and offered suggestions on where to go. The location is great, close enough to get to everything each day, but a little way away so you can enjoy the beauty of South Dakota and the landscape! We will stay again when we go back.

Little House on the Prairie

Quiet, relaxing, and beautiful views! Jim and Carmen were super hosts and they “nailed it” with all the touches to make us feel comfortable and at home. Their dog, Cooper, is an added bonus and quite the greeter. We enjoyed roaming the property and watching the wildlife. Trust me…do not look anywhere else if you’re even thinking about looking for another place in this area!

About the host

Hosted by James or Carmen

Host profile image
Jim is a retired Navy pilot, and Carmen is a retired teacher. We have raised 4 children who are now off on their own adventures. After traveling and living around the world, we decided to settle in the Black Hills. We love sharing the beauty we found with others.

Why they chose this property

The peace and quiet of Bison Pines drew us here. We can sit on the porch and watch wildlife, stargaze, and explore nature's beauty just outside our door. There are trees, outcroppings of rocks, open space, and wildlife. The sunsets and sunrises are picture-perfect. We love sitting on the porch, sipping coffee, and looking out over the Black Hills. We enjoy sharing Bison Pines with others in the capacity of Bison Pines VRBO. During the summer, Bison Pines is grazing land for the neighbor's cattle. Depending on when you're here, you'll be able to enjoy just a little bit of what makes this area ranch land.

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a remote setting away from others, this is your place. There are no city lights to interfere with stargazing. Cooper, our rescued Australian Cattle Dog/mixed breed is ready to meet you. Cooper is a little shy initially but loves to play once she gets to know you. She is ready to walk around the property. Depending on the time of year, you may see deer, turkey, or elk passing through the property.
