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.
Amazing place and amazing hosts and hospitality. Close to nearby attractions but nice and quiet. And the hosts have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend and go there again.

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.

Thank you again for recommending us to others. We truly appreciate your kind words and are honored you chose Painted Buffalo for your Black Hills getaway. We hope this was just the first of many visits, and we would love to welcome you (and your pup!) back to Painted Buffalo whenever your travels bring you to the Black Hills again.
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!

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!
They thought of everything. The hot tub was perfect and easy! And they were very hospitable!

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.

Host very responsive. Loved the hot tub under the stars. Very clean and so much you could use if you forgot anything!We enjoyed this cabin tremendously.
Beautiful cabin ,Myria was exceptional host! She had a nice booklet that went over local interests and a personalized note with recommendation’s, a park pass for the state parks and fresh baked zucchini bread! Thank you for your hospitality!
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!
