Bison Pines

We really enjoyed our stay at Bison Pines. Super neat, clean place and it was more spacious than we anticipated. The host was great to work with and made our stay extra special. I’m confident we will be back to stay at Bison Pines again in the future.

Perfect peace

Spent a week taking in all that the black hills area had to offer. This was better than coming home every day. Such a peaceful setting with more than we could have needed. We fixed breakfast and dinner there every day and packed lunch for most days out. Well exceeded our expectations. Extremely clean.

Little House on the Prairie

Quiet, relaxing, and beautiful views! Jim and Carmen were super hosts and they “nailed it” with all the touches to make us feel comfortable and at home. Their dog, Cooper, is an added bonus and quite the greeter. We enjoyed roaming the property and watching the wildlife. Trust me…do not look anywhere else if you’re even thinking about looking for another place in this area!

Quiet and Clean

This cabin was exactly what we needed for our trip to the Black Hills. It is located between Custer State Park and Hot Springs so the location is great for seeing many of the sights. Plus it is clean, quiet and comfortable! We definitely plan on going back to this cabin!

You won’t find a better place to stay. Carmen & Jim are great personable people. Just like being at home the cabin is more than fully furnished and comfortable. With a chance of hail Jim moved his tractor out from under cover so we could move our vehicle in. That’s how for thoughtful they are.

Million Dollar View

This place was AMAZING!!! Jim and Carmen were so easy to work with. Anything you need, they are right there to help out! There is nothing bad to say about our experience! Don't worry, even though you're right next to their house, they totally respect your privacy. It was so quiet and peaceful. Cooper, the dog, is a hoot! It was a decent drive to anywhere touristy but well worth it because of the scenery along the way. There is so-o much to do in all directions of this cabin. We stayed for 5 nights. Definitely not long enough. We've pinned this cabin on the map in hopes of going back some day! Thanks Jim and Carmen for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!

Peace in the Black Hills

Very nice house, property and accommodations! The hosts providedall we needed and more. We were very comfortable staying at Bison Pine. The bed was comfortable as was the furniture. It was a good home base for exploring the southern black hills. We loved Custer State Park! We saw a herd of bison up close, which was amazing! Needles Highway and Sylvan Lake also amazing! The begging burros in Custer also lots of fun! I highly recommend staying at Bison Pines. It was perfect for my wife and i. We went for a quiet getaway to enjoy nature.

Perfect Cozy Comfortable

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.

Breathtaking

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.

About the host

Hosted by James or Carmen

Jim is a retired Navy pilot, and Carmen is a teacher. We have raised 4 children who are now off on their own adventures. After traveling and living around the world, we decided to settle in the Black Hills. We love sharing the beauty we found with others.

Why they chose this property

The peace and quiet of Bison Pines drew us here. We can sit on the porch and watch wildlife, stargaze, and explore nature's beauty just outside our door. There are trees, outcroppings of rocks, open space, and wildlife. The sunsets and sunrises are picture-perfect. We love sitting on the porch, sipping coffee, and looking out over the Black Hills.

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a remote setting away from others, this is your place. There are no city lights to interfere with stargazing. Cooper, our rescued Australian Cattle Dog/mixed breed is ready to meet you. Cooper is a little shy initially but loves to play once she gets to know you. She is ready to walk around the property. Depending on the time of year, you may see deer, turkey, or elk passing through the property.
