These folks have put together the most welcoming, cozy, comfortable, thoughtful place imaginable. If you enjoy down to earth tasteful accommodations with MANY little extras this is the place! I was surprised by the complimentary bottle of table wine, not one but two white noise machines (which I loved!), a nice pedistal fan, body wash, shampoo & conditioner (not the cheap stuff either), well stocked Keurig machine with LOTS of K-cups/options, paper towels, aluminum foil, VERY NICE NEW nonstick pots & pans, Cutco knives etc… they really seemed to think of everything! Even the shower had fantastic water pressure….. Maybe a billionaire would have found something to complain about, but we sure couldn’t!!! Plus Jim and his wife Carmen are lovely people, very welcoming and gave us numerous restaurant suggestions (all which were fantastic!) Couldn’t have been a nicer place with nicer hosts. Thanks Jim & Carmen

This is our second Fall staying at Bison Pines and it was wonderful. We spent some amazing days hiking in Custer and exploring Hot Springs. It was great to have a cozy place to come back to and relax. Carmen and Jim are superb hosts and we loved our morning and evening visits from Cooper.

A great home. It has everything. The house were tremendous and already working on our visit next year. My wife and I have been here before and every time it is a plus.

We absolutely love Bison Pines - the location, the quiet and peacefulness, the comfort of the cabin, the hosts - Carmen & Jim, who are fantastic!, Cooper (the dog) who always makes us feel so welcome…..Already looking forward to our next visit, and were very sad to leave this morning!

Spotless, delivered as advertised. Would stay again. Wish we would of had more visits from Cooper!

Jim and Carmen were perfect hosts. The small but spacious VRBO is located next to their house with a spectacular view of rolling pasture land and pine covered mountains. Everything was furnished to deliver maximum comfort and relaxation. The place was immaculately clean with all the features of a fully equipped home. The perfect place. Jim and Carmen were not at all intrusive, yet they were open and friendly such that we enjoyed some long leisurely conversations with them. Their dog Cooper was friendly and cute as a button. We would love to stay with them again.

The views and the property were breathtaking. The location was far enough from civilization but within 30 minutes of most tourist attractions. Carmen and Jim were very friendly. Copper was my husband’s favorite (sorry Carnen and Jim.) He is a great dog. The place had everything we needed and more. It was cozy and clean. We enjoyed morning walks around the property and evening meals at the picnic table, then watching the sunset.

The cabin at Bison Pines was outstanding! From the roominess and cleanliness, to the amenities, to the location, to the views, all were just wonderful. Jim and Carmen were warm, welcoming hosts who offered suggestions on what to see and do based on our interests. Cooper was a sweetheart who greeted us each morning and even crawled into my lap....all 40lbs of her! We fell in love with South Dakota!

Jim, Carmen, and Cooper make you feel welcomed before even getting there. Upon arrival, it’s warm, welcoming, and friendly hosts that also respect your privacy. The cabin is very comfortable and has all the amenities needed. It truly feels like home.

We enjoyed our stay at Bison Pines. It was the perfect fit for our family and we would definitely stay there again if we are in the area. The host where very nice and had everything ready for us.

My 17 year old son and I stayed 3 nights at Bison Pines. It was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My wife and I fell in love with Bison Pines! Everything there is perfect! Jim and Carmen are the greatest hosts and go above and beyond for their guests. Their dog cooper is awesome too. She loves coming to say hi in the morning. You choose how much interaction you have with the dog and the hosts. They respect your privacy. The building and grounds are perfectly clean. Having a full kitchen set up we cooked breakfast and dinner every day and we had everything we needed for cookware and grilling! We will be back for sure! Craig & Debbie St John

We will highly recommend Bison Pines to anyone who is headed to the Black Hills! The cabin was very clean and welcoming and the scenery was so beautiful. We had plenty of space for our family of 4. Our hosts were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. They went above and beyond in taking care of us. Here are some of the things we appreciated: *Our kids really enjoyed the hammocks, playing with the dog, and using the movable privacy wall to create their own "room" around their beds in the cabin. *My husband and I enjoyed sitting outside watching the sunrise and sunset. *We also appreciated that there were 5 ice cube trays so we could start each day with our water jugs filled with ice water. *There were several yard games and a nice space to play them. We also enjoyed playing some of the board games that were there. *We roasted marshmallows over the gas firepit. *The beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed Bison Pines so much that we stayed an extra day, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

The property provided an excellent home base for exploring the Black Hills. It is in a quiet rural setting. The cabin was very clean and had everthing we needed for a comfortable stay. We would highly recommend it.

Beautiful property and Jim & Carmen were great. Our girls got to feed the cows some treats. Nice fire pit area and enjoyed some beautiful scenery. Decent drive into Custer and surrounding areas as well so all went very well with our stay.

This trip was a sisters trip for my 3 sisters and I and we could not have been happier with our stay. The location and area was beautiful. The hosts truly outdid themselves. We would definitely stay here again!!

Carmen and Jim made this a stress free stay. Everything was clean and comfortable and the cabin was appointed with everything we needed. They even went out of their way to rearrange things so we could park our car under cover when a hail storm threatened. Wonderful hosts.

We loved our stay at Bison Pines. Hosts are friendly, and helpful. The cabin was clean and so many nice amenities, they have made it a great place to get away. Nice and quiet…far enough enough away, but easy drives to everything you want to see. Beautiful property. We would definitely recommend a stay here when you come to the Black Hills.

Was a first time using VRBO as with work travel I am a loyal Wyndham traveler. Location was amazing just close enough to places but just far enough away to feel like you are a local. Hosts amazing, cabin amazingly stocked and clean. We couldn't ask for anything better.. was our best family vacation ever. We will be back and hope the hosts are still renting.

We spent two nights at Bison Pines while riding the Mickelson Trail. After riding pretty hard for three days (with fully loaded bikes and a persistent headwind from the south), it was wonderful to just sit on the porch and relax for a day. The cabin is large, clean, comfortable, well-furnished, and only about a mile from the trail. The owners have put a lot of thought and effort into making this a nice place. They also very kindly kept their (cute and friendly) dog away after I mentioned my allergies. We highly recommend Bison Pines as a place to stay when riding the Mickelson Trail.

This stay was our first rental. We had always stayed in hotels/motels. I have to say this place is Fantastic! Beautiful cabin in a beautiful landscape. While the weather wasn't the best, the host even checked to make sure the provided flashlights were working when the power went out briefly. Cabin was extremely clean and loaded with provisions to make our stay Great! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Bison Pines exceeded our expectations. The property is off the beaten path, but easily accessible to the parks and attractions in the area. The house was pristine, the beds were comfortable, and the living areas would handle more than two gyests quite easily. We will definitely keep Bison Pines in our list of places to stay in the Black Hills.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bison Pines. The cabin was well stocked, clean and comfortable. It was an ideal base to explore the Black Hills: Custer, Wind Cave, Hot Springs were easy, scenic drives. And it was grounding to just relax and enjoy the beauty of the property. We highly recommend the cabin and appreciate our accommodating hosts.

This cabin was perfect for our trip! Hosts are great!

The owners were great help in getting our short notice hunting trip set up, from helping us book, to turning on the heat for us! Thank you for a great stay!

We had a great week at Bison Pines. Beautiful, peaceful, cozy! Carmen and Jim are excellent hosts. So many nice extras in the cabin. We also enjoyed the visits from Cooper and Taffy. Easy distance from Custer and Hot Springs for outings. Our vacation was worry free and relaxing. We would stay again!

The hosts and the property are simply delightful. This was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. The pictures don’t convey how charming the property is and the accommodations were the most thoughtful of any place we’ve stayed. The hosts have thought of everything! If you are looking for a lovely stay in the Black Hills, this is the place.

This is a great location for relaxing. Not too far from Custer, but just far enough. Being away from the city has the advantages of being so quiet at night AND wonderful star gazing! The place is immaculate, well stocked (has everything you need) and very homey. It is also quite roomy; would accommodate a family of 4 very nicely. One slight drawback (although not a problem for us) is there is no divider or separation of all the beds from the living room or each other. It is all one big room. This was not a negative for us, but could be for 2 adult couples. Jim and Carmen are the absolute best hosts, and just good people. They were very helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We are blessed to have met them, and gotten to know them. We will most likely be back and therefore will stay here again.

Bison Pines is a country setting, very relaxing and quiet. The hosts are wonderful to work with and easy to get along with. We plan to return some time. It's now one of our favorite places

The cabin was set up with everything that we needed. The view, peace and quiet was perfect. There was plenty of space on the property for the kids to run and explore. Would absolutely recommend!

Host are very friendly and informative. All the amenities you would want and be sure to check out all the wildlife behind the cabin. The king bed is excellent. The visits from Cooper the dog and Taffy the cat make you feel at home.

We so enjoyed staying with Jim and Carmen. We really wish we had more time to spend with them and their property. It was so clean, homey, and the views were breathtaking. We will be back!
