Top Needles Eye Hotel Reviews

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay!"

Peaceful, private log home with exceptional views and amenities

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful home in a great location, the fishing and hiking locations we enjoy most are a quick drive away. This was our 4th stay here and we hope to do many more!"

8/10 Good

"Kitchen was well equipped, comfortable bed, quiet setting, and back porch was comfortable with nice view of the nearby pond. The cabin was clean, I describe as comfortable but basic."

Tenderfoot Creek Cabin | 2 Bed, 1 Bath

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the cabin. Location wasn't very clear that there would be loud highway noise. We were constantly on the go but if we wanted to hang out on the deck or yard it was very noisy. All amenities were used and worked great except the living room tv but that wasn't a deal breaker and I'm sure was fixed by the next reservation! We will recommend this place and the Black hills retreat company to all of our friends and family! Thank you 😊"

Hottub Hideaway: Firepit + Sauna + Views + Wildlife

10/10 Excellent

"The home was everything advertised as. The view is spectacular the home was amazing. If you’re looking for a great vacation this is the place. Although we had trouble with their internet. They did fix that after 4 days. The communication was always great. I would recommended this cabin for a vacation. Thank you for a great stay."

Hottub Haven: Sauna + Firepit + Enjoy Wildlife

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property! Very clean, new, and quite perfect. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The distance to Custer is close for supplies, etc., but you feel like you're out in the woods and really getting away from the city. Morning coffee listening to wildlife, evenings by the fire, and the little lake was actually full of perch and bass. Only thing I will mention is if you are sensitive to ROOSTERS, bring earplugs."
