We had a great time! We were looking for a relaxing getaway and it was perfect. The kids loved the location in the woods and the hot tub! The owner responded right away to a few questions we had. Will definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing time at the ShadyPines cabin. It was the cleanest house weâve ever rented! The location was perfect for all of the sight seeing - just a short 20-30 minute drive for pretty much anything you wanted to do. The owner was prompt and friendly. We would definitely go back!
Everything was amazing at the property. One picture indicated a bunk bed that our daughter really wanted to sleep in but there wasnât a bunk bed upon arrival. Everything else was top notch.
This is a lovely, comfortable cabin in the woods of the Black Hills. There were 7 of us staying for the week and we had plenty of space. We did have a problem initially with the WIFI but the owner resolved it. We loved this cabin and if in the Black Hills area again will definitely consider staying here.
We enjoyed a six day, five night stay in Shady Pines. The cabin was beautiful and very comfortable. We spent our days exploring the tourist attractions the Hills have to offer and the evenings as a family grilling supper, playing games and relaxing in the hot tub at the cabin. As a set of grandparents and a family of four with two children aged 3 and 11, the multi level sleeping areas suited us well. If you are looking for a cabin retreat a little off the beaten path this is your choice, it was about a 35-40 minute drive into Hill City or Keystone after navigating the scenic winding roads. We had an ATV and there were trails close by to enjoy. Very tentative owner who quickly responded to messages. We will be back, hopefully sooner than later!!
My wife and I spent a long weekend at Shady Pines and had one of the most relaxing trips of our lives. The cabin is immaculate and although it was just the two of us, it was perfect. Sitting out on the deck and watching the wild turkeys go by in the evening was extremely relaxing. No cell phone coverage too, so my wife was thrilled. All of the amenities were there as promised and the owner was extremely helpful in directions and on what to bring. A great location to see the sites of the Black Hills or to just hang out and reflect and relax. We are thinking of making it a twice a year pilgrimage! Thanks Aaron for allowing us the use of your cabin. Well done!
There were 4 adults and two kids 5 and 6 who stated here. The kids had a blast and it was nice having the loft for them to keep busy. It was a very clean location. The only down fall i would have is too much gravel! I guess I should have read more about the location. Very dusty gravel road going in and out. around 2-3 miles of it too:( There is a Keurig and crock pot also in the cabin that the listed did not list. Still though a good place to stay just LOTS OF DRY AND DUSTY road!!!
Great spot to stay, if wanting to visit the local national parks
Check in process was extremely easy. The house was exceptionally clean. The owner was quick to respond to questions. When we arrived it was quite warm in the house and they quickly installed window units the next day. I would suggest a few extra pillows and blankets since it did get chilly while we were there. Owner gave us very good driving directions from the airport in Rapid City. We visited Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Devils Tower, crazy horse monument, and the Badlands⊠Everything was about an hour to an hour and a half away in multiple directions. We got to see a lot. The house was very well-equipped, and very serene. The hot tub was a bonus and a great place to enjoy the evening to stargaze from. The fact that it was pet free was very appreciated, and hard to find nowadays⊠Two of us are highly allergic to cats and dogs, so this was fantastic! Thank you! Highly recommend.
Our stay here was a memorable one. The cabin was very clean and spacious. We made many memories here inbetween sight seeing and riding ATVs. The hottub was awell liked ammenitiy
Great property centrally located for access to the Northern & Southern Black Hills as well as the Badlands. Very modern and clean property and well appointed; nothing we couldnât find or need.
A bit off the main highways but gravel roads and driveway were well marked and maintained. The setting in the pines was quite picturesque.
The home was very nice, clean and spacious. If you are looking for a very quiet wooded area, this is the perfect place for you. My boys got back to basics playing cards and boards games. My husband did struggle with no cell service and weak/ spotty wifi when he needed to check in at work. If you're looking to unplug and sit outside and have your morning coffee with the deer, hummingbirds and cows - this is the right place for you!
We loved every single part of our stay at Shady Pines. Direct access to all the ATV/UTV trails, plus close to all the major attractions. For our group of 7, there was plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy our time. The property is gorgeous, plus has everything you'll need for your stay in the Black Hills. Aaron was attentive and responsive, even offering alternative dates for our family after the death of a family member. Our experience went above and beyond. Thank you, Shady Pines, for an incredible vacation to the Black Hills.
We had a great time staying at Shady Pines! It was beautiful, clean and comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked. The location is quite far from the main road but has easy directions to get to. The one downfall was it was quite a climb to get to the cabin from the parking area for an elderly person. You can enter through the basement but have to be able to do steps. But it was a wonderful stay!!
