This little cabin was super cute and had everything we could possible need and more. My sister totally enjoyed the different flavors of coffee they provided and our kitchen had little muffins and treats for us to enjoy. Our host was welcoming and attentive whenever we had a question. We had a wonderful experience.

The Sundance cabin was an amazing getaway for my family of 3. It was a cozy, quiet cabin off the beaten path that provided the solitude anyone can enjoy. The cabin was fully stocked and the hosts were the sweetest people.

We had a fantastic time at Painted Buffalo! Peaceful & quiet yet close enough to do day trips to Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. We were very impressed by all of the thoughtful touches in the cabin and appreciative of the chill, dog-friendly atmosphere. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the Black Hills area but have a peaceful place to return to at the end of the day.

Was very nice! Due to the one room cabin size not ideal with kids but with the loft is definitely doable. Also was very hot outside so wasn’t able to take my kid outside too much the days I was there. Overall great experience!

### #4/Human Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad you had a great experience and enjoyed your stay. Our cabins are designed to offer a cozy getaway, and we appreciate you mentioning the loft as an option that makes the space more comfortable for families. We completely understand that summer heat can make outdoor time challenging, especially with little ones. We hope you were still able to enjoy some relaxing moments at the cabin and explore the beautiful Black Hills. We’d love to welcome you back again! ### #8/Human Thank you for your thoughtful review! As a family-owned resort, we truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear you had an overall great experience. Our cabins are intentionally designed as cozy retreats, and the loft helps provide additional sleeping space for families while still keeping that comfortable cabin feel. We understand that the hot summer weather can sometimes limit outdoor adventures, but we hope you were able to enjoy your time here and make some special memories. Thank you for choosing Painted Buffalo Resorts, and we hope to see you again! ### #10/Human Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful review! Reading that you had a great overall experience means a lot to us. We understand that traveling with kids in a cozy cabin space can feel a little different than staying in a larger home, and we appreciate you sharing that the loft helped make the space more workable for your family. The summer heat in the Black Hills can definitely be intense, and we understand how that can make it harder to spend as much time outdoors with little ones. We hope you were still able to relax, enjoy the cabin, and take in some of the beautiful sights our area has to offer. Thank you for choosing Painted Buffalo Resorts and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate having you as our guest and would love the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cute little cabin tucked away from the hustle and bustle! It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Communication with the host was wonderful from start to finish. She is so sweet and welcoming, and even greeted us upon check-in to make sure we had everything we needed.We took full advantage of the hot tub, enjoying it every night and even every morning with our coffee. It was such a relaxing way to start and end each day!Another bonus was The Sours, the cutest little coffee shop just a 10-minute drive from the cabin. We loved it so much that we had to stop by every morning!Overall, we had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy getaway. We would happily stay here again!

Property was clean and host was very friendly and accommodating. The cabin was much smaller than the pictures made it look. The shower was extremely small. Overall great experience but would not recommend for anymore than 2 people, due to size.

Me and my wife stayed here for a couple of nights after our wedding. It was clean, set up well, had everything we needed and nothing that we didn't. The host is super friendly and responsive, and the area is very quiet and peaceful. Hot tub is very simple and cozy, which was perfect for my wife and I to relax in. Will be recommending this place to friends and family, the perfect place for a peaceful weekend away!
