The stay was great. We take our side by side out with us so it was a great location for that and close to a lot of trails. It’s also close to Lead, Central City, Deadwood and other local restaurants and attractions which was great. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful place to stay. My family of 11 stayed and the place was very accommodating to all of us for space and together time. We had 4 vehicles and there was plenty of space for them also. Definitely appreciated the communication with the host. My family loved the cabin. The cabin was clean, homey, and we were very comfortable. Definitely 5 stars and we would definitely stay there again.

Buffalo Trail Cabin is so beautiful and they have truly thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The mattresses are a luxury experience. The cabin is so clean and well stocked and the complimentary cookies are not to be missed, soft and buttery and craveable. The hot tub was full, clean, hot, and such a treat on the morning we woke up to a skiff of snow. There are abundant fluffy towels, the fridge has a full ice maker, the smart tv is ready for you to login to your streaming services. It is so peaceful. It was just what we needed to reset, recharge, reconnect with each other and enjoy all the Black Hills has to offer.

This is a gem! My boyfriend meet his North Dakotan friends in Deadwood 5 years ago. This trip was partially a Friendiversary! We're already talking about planning another trip and hopefully coming back to Jim and Julie's place. It was literally home away from home. Anything you forgot to pack, it was possibly stocked. Coffee maker, Kueurig pod/pot combo, laundry soap (we left some behind wasn't sure how it might do in the airplane), plenty of seats outside, small gas firepit outside. Don't bring wood you can't burn it. There was a small fireplace inside, the view around us was lovely, deer said good morning and good night, chipmunks crawled on a porch, heard sandhill cranes flying over. If you want to hide you can here, if you want to hike you can do that too. If you want to gamble run to Deadwood. We loved our stay Jim was great, very gracious host and easy to communicate with. Julie's cookies were de-lish! Thanks for everything Jim and Julie. Can't wait to come again next year.

The house was lovely. It was the perfect place to chill with a group of friends. We sat around the fire pit right on the deck off the living room/kitchen, enjoyed the hot tub, and walks in the area were very nice. The bedrooms were comfortable. The loft bedroom was shared but the other three rooms were private. The kitchen had everything we needed in the way of dishes, pots and pans. Jim was very easy to reach when needed. Would definitely stay there again!

Jim's place might be the best Air B&B our family has utilized. The pictures are accurate - it really was that great. There was a lot of room for our family of 6 to comfortably spread out. The deck, the hot tub, the game room, the proximity to Lead, Deadwood, and Spearfish Canyon, it was all perfect. Our goal was to linger a bit after our visits to Devil's Tower and Mt. Rushmore, and this property was the perfect place to do that. We were able to explore the area at our leisure, and then come back to the cabin and relax. Jim was incredibly pro-active. He was likely the most pro-active host we've ever had. He had great recommendations which we followed through and enjoyed the area. Also, don't underestimate the cookies. Jim leaves you some incredible chocolate chip cookies. They were so good, that Jim connected us with the baker and we ordered another dozen (30 seconds in the microwave puts them over the top). This was a fantastic stay - highly recommended!

great place to stay, it fit our needs perfectly. The beds were so comfortable. lots of seating on the deck. The hot tub was amazing. We would definitely book again during ski season due to the close proximity to the slope.

We had the best time staying here. Jim was super communicative and was helpful from the time we booked our trip until we checked out! The cabin was in a great location and was so peaceful. It was a short drive to she me of our favorite spots. We weren’t far from ATV trails, and at the end of the day it was a nice escape to come back to the cabin. We loved the hot tub, and the large deck was very much a highlight during our stay. The kitchen was so well stocked with supplies - was really impressed with this. We would love to come back to this spot, it was great!

A great home base for all Northern Black Hills activities. Quick access to Lead/ Deadwood as well as Spearfish canyon. It is a bit of a (beautiful) drive to the Hill City/ Keystone area. Want to come back and ski in the winter!

Jim was very responsive, engaged and there if we needed anything. One of the best hosts we’ve had through any property we’ve ever rented. The place was well appointed, and the seating in the living room was super comfortable It was also very clean which we appreciate. Definitely would recommend this place to stay in the area. You won’t be disappointed.  Thank you Jim for being a great host. Also the chocolate chip cookies are to die for.

Jim’s house was perfect for our little family gathering. The house was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Jim was very responsive, helpful and just made the process a breeze. Even though we are from the area I would definitely stay there again next time we decide to head on up to Terry Peak for the weekend!
