Beautiful nature get-away with the comforts of town

This beautiful property is located in a developed area but with an out-in-nature placement. The big windows offer views of the landscape in all directions. Very easy check-in and even easier check-out procedures make this stay a gem.

Black Hills Vacation

We had a really good time visiting all the sites around the Black Hills. It was nice to come "home" to a beautiful cabin after a long day and relax. I highly recommend having a base camp to come back to with plenty of room for the entire family. Great location, center of everything. This cabin is top notch.

Exceptional House in the Heart of Nature

We loved this VRBO! The space was beautiful with beautifully detailed touches. The house had everything we needed and more! We especially loved seeing deer visit every night at dusk and we were memorized by the horses out back as we watched the sunset!

Lovely getaway

This was truly a lovely home. Very spacious, clean and well appointed. Loved all the windows and natural light in the house. I was extremely impressed with the extras available for use, outdoor grill, outdoor patio propane fire pit - I haven’t experienced those amenities in other vacation rentals before. The proximity to Rapid City and all of its surrounding attractions was perfect. We felt very much at home and Buffalo Cabin was extremely relaxing for us.

Great base camp to explore

We had an amazing stay at this clean and well stocked cabin! The location is private but convenient to make day trips to all the Black Hills activities. We hiked, swam and explored everyday, and we were happy to come back to this comfortable cabin each night. We loved that we could take our dogs with us on all our adventures. Communication with Jessica was fast and friendly. We’ve already recommended this property to our friends!

Amazing Family Vacation

We absolutely loved this cabin! Everything was beautiful - so well appointed and thought out. It didn’t bother us that there was one bathroom. The heated floor was great! Nice big kitchen and living room with ample seating. Coming back from touristing to play the family games at the cabin (Jenga, Old Maid, Go Fish) while watching for deer was one of our favorite parts! They really thought of everything here. WONDERFUL.

This home is amazing! It is close to so many places, national parks, monuments, and attractions. We saw so much and it was nice to “come home” here. Everything you need is here. We cooked and grilled nearly everyday. We saw deer, turkey, and horses everyday. I cannot say enough good about this home. We absolutely loved it!!

Great Experience!

The cabin was as advertised. The setting was peaceful and picturesque. Neighbors nearby but not too close. Greeted by horses in the adjacent lot and deer every morning. The cabin was clean, nicely furnished, and stocked with everything needed to make you feel at home. Location was great - easy to get to, near major retail and major attractions. Overall a great experience!

Quiet space

Property was nice and quiet. It is located right on a road that is winding, so be careful with children and pets. Home has one bath, so large numbers may have issues with showering. We were two, so no issues for us. Overall the home is quite lovely.

Great Black Hills Property

This is a great Black Hills cabin, in the Hills but close to Rapid as well. Great location accessible to any part of the Black Hills. In 4 short days, we ranged from Spearfish, Deadwood, Deerfield Lake, Custer and the Wyoming border, with two trips to Custer State Park mingled in. The cabin is new, beautiful, well appointed and furnished. The owner/manager was responsive and accommodating, even offering to find garage space for our vehicle when severe weather threatened. Property rules were basic common sense and not obnoxious, as some properties can be.

wonder week at buffalo cabin

What a wonderful week! I found this property searching in the Rapid City area so that we'd have a central location for our travels. It was excellent. The processes of reservation, communication, access and response to a couple issues as well as the house itself were all stellar. Jessica communicated well with us, esp as it related to getting internet and TVs working. Thank you so much. The house itself is so comfortable, well appointed and supplied with most everything you need for an extended stay. Just bring your food. The quiet location, frequent deer sightings and unique, mostly all wood features of the house are interesting and unique. I esp like the wooden door locks on a number of internal doors. And the exterior door locks were unique and substantial. If you note an odd odor outside around the parking area in late summer, we determined there's a small, low-growing weed with yellow blooms that will get your attention. Anyhow, if you are in the Rapid City area and needing a wonderful place to bed down for a while for 6 or less people, check out Spring Canyon Buffalo Cabin. It's good!
