Black Hills Father's Day Weekend

We took a family trip to the Black Hills to celebrate Father's Day, and our stay was absolutely fabulous! The house is beautifully laid out and had all the amenities we needed to cook dinner each night. The location and neighborhood were perfect—close to all the area’s main attractions, yet peaceful and welcoming. Yvonne is a wonderful host who made everything easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for a spacious, well-equipped home in a great location, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking this property again on our next visit!

Black Hills Wedding Weekend

We booked this cabin for a wedding weekend at Diamond Spur, and it was an ideal choice. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the venue and directly across from the Diamond Spur Lodge. With four bedrooms, the cabin comfortably sleeps 8, though the two bathrooms are a bit tight, making it challenging for a larger group to get ready at once. The kitchen and dining area are spacious, offering seating for 12-14, and the open layout flows into the living area, which seats 4. The front and back decks provide plenty of additional seating and outdoor space. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked with all the essentials. We did have a bit of trouble adjusting the thermostat, which led to a chilly first night and a warmer third night, thanks to the fluctuating Black Hills temperatures. Overall, the cabin is perfectly located for anyone attending an event at the venue or exploring the area. The neighborhood is also lovely and quiet.
