About this property

Meadowlark Mountain Ranch Retreat


Serene and private property in the country with peace, solitude and views. We are off the main highway 2 miles but just ten minutes to Belle Fourche, or 20 minutes to Spearfish in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Historic Aladdin Wyoming is just 6 miles west and the gateway to Montana is less than an hour away. This small ranch has room to walk, hike, or just relax and meditate on the spacious patio. Our "Bunkhouse" is an apartment with an upstairs and downstairs. It has one queen bed with privacy, one twin bed, and a kitchenette with a full bathroom. View wildlife from the patio including Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Antelope, Grouse, Elk. Listen to the breeze through the pines along with the multitudes of song birds. Enjoy beautiful sunsets on the patio by the fire and see the night sky and stars like you've never imagined. If you're looking for a quiet setting with room to breathe clean, pine-scented air in ranch country, away from the crowds and noise but still minutes from town, this is your retreat!

Tranquility at its finest!

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway where you can completely unplug, then book your next getaway with Bob and Leslie! From feeding the cows to star gazing at night, we felt like we were in an episode of Yellowstone. The rolling hills and amazing sunsets will surely bring us back! Thank you so much for being such wonderful hosts and we look forward to seeing you guys again.

My dad and I truly enjoyed the serenity and peaceful vibe of Meadowlark Mountain Ranch. The property overlooks rolling hills and meadows with a herd of Scottish Highland cattle and a friendly Airedale that greeted us every day. The hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive. It was a perfect stay!

This is a beautiful property! Quiet, in the country ... just a few minutes ride to town. Accommodations are perfect. Hosts are wonderful, great communication! Love Finn (their dog)! Our second stay there. Hope to do it every year!

Such a cute place to stay

This property has the most wonderful grounds and view! We loved the western decor and the patio. Our only issue was that the bedroom has a wardrobe with a large mirror sitting beside the bed. My hubby was quite startled when he woke up and was looking at himself. :)

Peaceful and Secluded

This property was just as pictured, super clean and super cute. It is far enough away from town that you feel secluded enough to enjoy some peace and quiet, but close enough to town to grab dinner. The hosts are very gracious and friendly. My daughter loved to walk the property in the morning and the stars are beautiful at night. The morning sunrises were truly the highlight of our trip.

Awesome time!!!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The host (Leslie) was very nice and it was nice to meet her, I think what we liked the most about the property was the view from the patio. In the morning (late August) it was very nice to sit out there and take in the scenery. Leslie provided everything we could possibly need. Our stay was perfect. There was two of us and we were there visiting my Mom. It was about 15-20 minutes from Belle Fourche. If ever again in Belle Fourche I know where we are staying, Thank you for everything!

South Dakota Beauty

This cozy hideaway was perfect for what we were doing. Easy access to Spearfish, Belle Fourche, and Deadwood but so remote feeling and peaceful. The photo provided on the VRBO site does not do it justice. Sitting in the morning sun taking in your first cup borders on meditative. The owners are about the friendliest people I have met. Highly recommend whether you are looking for somewhere away from it all or a beautiful location with easy access to the local towns and cities.

Absolutely Beautiful Location-Very Peaceful

Our stay was so relaxing and the view was so beautiful-The Black Hills never let us down. Our first night we saw a heard of elk and other nights deer and antelope. Leslie and Bob were super gracious, checking in on us making sure we had everything we needed. Finn the dog was great! The bunk house was very comfortable, decorated so cute. The kitchenette had everything we needed and the small refrigerator also had a nice size freezer for microwavable food. I would highly recommend staying here, and hope to stay again sometime. Thank you Leslie and Bob!

Meadowlark Mountain Ranch Retreat - Beautiful

Cute well cared for apartment above the garage with bathroom and eating area down stairs. A grill was provided for us outside on the patio. We spent our mornings and evenings on the patio taking in the breathtaking views. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful! Wildlife was in abundance during our visit. We were blessed to see elk, white tail deer, mule tail deer, pronghorns, wild turkeys, and coyotes. Their horses and mule were fun to watch grazing and of course, their dog Finn, was a joy. Bob and Leslie were gracious hosts and we enjoyed our visits and their knowledge of the surrounding area. We brought our own ATV and enjoyed riding the area trails as well as a couple of days of sight seeing. The evenings were spent relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. This was definitely a vacation we will remember as one of our favorites!
