Escape to Shady Pines: Perfect Black Hills Retreat for Adventure and Relaxation

Escape to Shady Pines for an unforgettable family or friends’ getaway amidst 3 acres of serene whispering pines. This fully furnished vacation home is your haven of relaxation, perfectly equipped with all the essentials. Nestled just 9 miles from Hill City and 4 miles from Deerfield Lake, Shady Pines is your ideal base for exploring the iconic landmarks of the Black Hills, from Mount Rushmore to Crazy Horse and beyond. The cabin is easily accessible via paved Deerfield Road, making it a breeze to reach by car, truck, or motorcycle.

Adventure Awaits: Bring your own ATV/UTV/SXS and take advantage of our ample parking. Shady Pines is the perfect starting point for exploring nearby trails and scenic roads. If you’re a fan of the open road, the Sturgis Bike Rally in early August is just an hour’s drive away, traffic permitting. Planning to join the buffalo roundup at the end of September and need space for your crew, trailer and gear? We’ve got 3 acres where your cowboys and cowgirls can roam freely!

No Itinerary? No Problem! Let us know your group’s interests, and we’ll provide personalized recommendations to keep everyone entertained.

Comfortable Accommodations: Shady Pines can sleep up to 10 guests across three bedrooms and a den, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. The upstairs bedroom now features a new King bed with Roku TV, the lower level has flexible sleeping arrangements with 2 nice size bedrooms with a Queen bed in each. The den is perfect for everyone, from kids to adults, or families looking to stay together. It includes a queen bed and full bed as well as a twin. There are privacy curtains to separate the spaces if you want more privacy. There is a bathroom on each level with ample space to get everyone ready for the day.

Spacious Living Areas: A welcoming living space with a reclining sofa and loveseat, side chair, a 75” LG Smart TV with streaming apps, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining area with a table and six chairs (additional chairs available). Two bar stools are at the breakfast bar.

Outdoor Relaxation: Unwind on the patio or the upper wrap-around deck, where you can rearrange the outdoor furniture to your liking. Enjoy cooking on the new Blackstone flat top grill and propane BBQ grill, complete with an outdoor prep station. With seating for 10 plus 4 zero gravity loungers you will be sure to find a spot to relax. Fall/Winter season outdoor items may be stored.

Convenient Parking: We offer free parking for 3-4 vehicles in the driveway. Large trailers can be parked across the road for easy loading and unloading. If you’re bringing a trailer for your toys, please ask the host for the best parking options. While we don’t provide RV hookups, there’s ample parking for campers or trailers across the road on our property. One garage stall may be available upon request at the time of reservation. ATV/UTVs can be parked in the north yard, driveway, or next to your trailer, but not in the front yard. Nearby rentals are available if you wish to rent a side-by-side or other vehicles.

Secure and Accessible: Enjoy ease of access with a smart lock and customized access code. For your safety, there are two security cameras focused on the driveway and walkways, as well as motion lights. As owner-operators, we’re always available to make your stay at Shady Pines unforgettable.

Amazing Hills Property

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your amazing Black Hills property. Close to Hill City but far enough away to have peace and quiet. Plenty of things to do within minutes of this beatiful area. Deerfield Lake is a must. Everything was clean and very well stocked. The host Jamie is great if you need anything.

Black Hills excursion

We came for a family vacation with a schedule full of day trips. The house was clean and ready for our stay. The house is a little dated, but had everything you would need. It was well stocked with many necessities, and many we didn't expect, we were even able to make a batch of cookies with the ingredients found on a rainy day. 90% of our trips took us to, or through Hill City first, it was about a fifteen minute drive, then we would continue to our destination, so it was a tad out of the way, but it is a pleasant drive, which we did a lot of, so the extra drive time didn't bother us. There is daily wildlife visitors, it was nice to see the deer, turkey, and rabbit. We spotted a group of elk just a few miles from the property, the only elk we saw on the trip! We would recommend the property, and definitely stay there again.

Hill City Stay

This property was perfect for us. Deer were seen nightly. House had everything you would ever need. Would recommend to anyone wanting a getaway. We came during the Sturgis rally and this was a good central location for riding.

Black Hills family vacation

Absolutely wonderful mountain cabin! Central location made it easy to explore the Black Hills, but out of town meant space for the kids to play and quiet nights. Plenty of space for all 3 families, well stocked kitchen, lots of games, great deck for lounging, and wildlife, too. It does not get any better than this! Thank you, Jamie, for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

Great hide away

The ease and communication through checkin to check out was great! The house had literally everything and more (with exception of a dish washer). The house was in perfect condition and very very clean! Ample towels, blankets, games (inside and out!) and other little amenities. It was nice to come back to a place where we did not need to worry about the noise our kids might make after many long days touring/sightseeing. Enjoyed coffee on the porch listening to the birds and turkeys. We really enjoyed our time in the area and the house! Hill City has a lot to offer. We can’t wait to come back!

Nice cabin with a beautiful view

Awesome stay at this cabin. I enjoyed the beautiful view, I could see deer coming and going every day and even saw some wild turkeys come through the yard. I was able to relax on the deck, which was nice and warm even though it was cool outside. Nice and remote, yet easy to get to Hill City and Rapid from here. This place had a solid internet connection, so I was able to work remotely during the day and catch up on shows at night. I also was able to make use of the fully equipped kitchen and the gas grill for the meals I didn't eat in town. Plenty of space too, if someone wanted to bring their family. I will definitely be booking again!
