Very nice and clean cabin in a great location. There was an issue with the heat our first two nights but the owner was very responsive, easy to deal with and communicated until the issue was resolved. We would stay here again!

Great little cabin

Perfect for our needs, quiet location. Only thing we would suggest improving on is the mattresses were not comfortable and the bed frames made so much noise everything anyone moved on bed.

Fantastic stay!

Wonderful property! Very clean and comfortable bedding. Plenty of towels, coffee pot, filters and coffee available to grind yourself with provided grinder. One set of shampoo and soap so bring extra for a longer stay. Firepit, deck and charcoal grill for each cabin. You do have neighbors but property remains very quiet. Approx 5 drive into Custer. Host was very responsive!

Bungalows

We enjoyed our stay at the Blackhill Bungalows. Nice quiet area. We enjoyed a fire each night and the playground for our two year old. It is located on a little bit of gravel (didn’t bother us a bit as we live on gravel but nice to know!) We would stay here again if traveling back to the area. It was a great location for us to explore - Mt. Rushmore, Hill City, Sylvan Lake, wildlife loop, Needles Hwy/Iron Mountain Road, Bear country and Spearfish Canyon. We enjoyed a lot of local hikes and the outdoor amenities the local area had to offer!

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your stay at Black Hill Bungalows, Natasha! We’re thrilled to hear that the quiet setting and nightly fires made your visit extra special, and it’s great that your little one enjoyed the playground too. It sounds like you made the most of the amazing local attractions—what a fantastic way to explore the area! We appreciate you mentioning the gravel road, as it’s helpful for future guests to know. We'd love to welcome you back for another adventure-filled stay in the future!

This is fantastic getaway for a couple, or even two couples. We were here with grandchildren who enjoyed everything from the board games, the rustic outdoor firepit, cooking and eating on the deck, and watching tv on the sofa. The shower was very good water pressure and hot water lasted adequately for 4 people
