Best stay for being outdoors without discomforts of camping. Perfect temperature cabin with nice sleeping arrangements and a clean bathroom. Also was the perfect middle ground for our itinerary with plenty of time to drive entirely in the day and see everything in a weekend. Loved the host and everything prepared for us. Hot tub completed the experience.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear the cabin was a perfect fit for your stay. We truly appreciate you choosing Painted Buffalo Resorts and hope to welcome you back again soon for another great visit! 😊🦬

What a cute and cozy cabin in a nice rural setting! We had a great nights rest. Bummed we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful setting, but just passing through.There were a number of little special touches...toothpicks, toothpaste and brushes, snacks for morning, variety of coffee and creamers . And very clean! Thank you for a nice nights stopover!
This is a great little cabin. My wife and I and my dog stayed 3 nights and couldn’t be happier. It was quiet and secluded but close enough to everything. Recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you, your wife, and your pup enjoyed your stay and found the cabin peaceful, quiet, and convenient to everything in the area. It means a lot to hear you couldn’t be happier with your visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you all back to Painted Buffalo Resorts again soon!
Tranquility! Tiny cottage with a great deck. Well supplied, and totally relaxing atmosphere. Hot tub & grill on the deck used almost daily. Wildlife, beautiful skies, stars abundant, and bright moon a couple days. Was a totally peaceful stay. Off the main road quite a distance on a gravel road, so distant traffic not even heard. Was a blessing to have this respite for my husband, and I. :)
Very clean, adorable cabin with all the amenities for comfort. It is quite small but for a quick getaway in the heart of the black hills, it was just enough for a couple and our two dogs. While there is not a lot of privacy as far as the location of the cabin on the property , we were welcomed by the friendly owner and assured they’d accommodate us if needed. The cabin is well stocked and the hot tub was lovely after a day of hiking in the hills! Thank You, for a needed stay in the quiet of the forest.

This was the perfect home away from home and close to several outdoor things to do. I highly recommend this wonderful place!!!
We had a great stay at the cabin! Peaceful, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway! Everything was clean, well-stocked, and the scenery was beautiful. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back again!
It was a very cozy and clean cabin, in a central area to all our adventures! It was so nice to come “home” to a stove to cook on and a hot tub to relax in!
Best cabin that I Ever stayed in!! Full coffee bar, the host gave us farm fresh eggs, bad storm was coming and they offered and let us park our Harleys under cover at their personal property. Absolutely Amazing Host!! The cabin itself is Very Beautiful and Updated! Everything works as it should. Beds are Better Than mine at home! Very clean and cozy! Hot tub works Great!! Overall Exceptional Cabin at an Amazing Affordable Price!!! Very Biker Friendly as Well!! Best hidden gem in the area!!!

Wow...thank you so much for this incredible review! Reading your comments absolutely made our day. We're truly honored that you consider our cabin the best you've ever stayed in—it means more to us than you know.
It was such a pleasure getting to know you both during your stay. Guests like you are why we love what we do. We're so happy you enjoyed the coffee bar, fresh farm eggs, cozy cabin, comfortable beds, hot tub, and all the little touches we try to provide. We were also glad we could offer a covered place for your Harleys before the storm rolled in. Going the extra mile for our guests is something we genuinely enjoy.
As a family-owned resort, reviews like yours mean the world to us. Thank you for choosing Painted Buffalo Resorts. We truly hope our paths cross again the next time you're riding through the beautiful Black Hills.
Ride safe, and we'll see you again!

Everything was pretty nice unfortunately I didn’t know these cabins were right on the owners property wasn’t a bad deal didn’t see them much just kinda took the privacy away I felt like being the owners house was 50 yards from cabin. Bees were horrible in the day but they did the best they could to prevent that I understand something’s are out of peoples control. All in all I gave it 3 stars bc for the price point and location of cabin.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to privacy. While our cabins are located on our property, we do our best to give guests plenty of space and include photos of the property layout in our listing to help set expectations.
We make every effort to respect our guests’ privacy while still being available if needed. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, relaxing stay at our private, owner-operated resort.
We also appreciate your understanding regarding the bees. Being in the Black Hills, some outdoor elements are unfortunately beyond our control, but we do our best to address concerns and take preventative measures to help keep our guests comfortable.
We do want to mention that we ask guests to communicate any changes or important details before arrival. In this case, we were not notified ahead of time that your dog would be over 50 lbs or that your son would be joining the stay. We always try to accommodate our guests, but having accurate information beforehand is important so we can properly prepare and ensure we are following our safety guidelines and insurance requirements. These policies are in place to help protect our guests, their families, and our property.
We also want to clarify that during your stay, you asked about options for extending your reservation and what discount may be available. We were happy to offer you a 40% discount if you chose to add an additional night to your stay.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels.
Zero complaints. Had everything we needed and it was the perfect location for us with our friends just down the road and close to great riding trails. Communication was great, the host even stopped by to make sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely stay again
We had a great stay at Cabin Bella. The communication with owner was easy. The space is not big but the generous deck, hot tube and beautiful semi remote location makes up for that. We also really appreciated the provided Custer State Park Pass.
We had so much fun! The cabin was cozy, but it was perfect for what we needed. Myria had it full of the necessities and was close by if we needed anything. I would highly recommend!!
