Living in the Pines [1]
Fantastic for a large family/group
Reviewed on 2025-02-18 by Leah H. , Bryant, SD USEach year, instead of buying Christmas gifts, our family rents a home in the Black Hills and spends quality time together. This home was fantastic for our family of seven children, 4 spouses, and 18 grandchildren (ages 6 weeks to 13). Lots of room, lots of beds & baths and perfect location for skiing & snowmobiling. The only thing our family would have enjoyed having was a chair that rocked for the babies. I would highly recommend this home. It was all around perfect!

Black Hills Lodging
Reviewed on 2024-07-08 by , Lincoln, NE USThe house was clean and large enough for the entire family. We did have problems with the coffee maker not working properly. The oven had a bottom full of burnt on food, every time we used it, the entire downstairs filled with smoke. The children made a joke of it that we were sending out smoke signals. Also after using the fire pit for 10 minutes we ran out of propane. I called and left a message, but no one got back to us. We left a note in the house when we left, so they knew what needed to be taken care of for the next renters.
Family Reunion Year 16
Reviewed on 2024-06-28 by Dennis L. , Malvern, AR United StatesFive siblings & spouses gathered along with their extended families to celebrate their 16th family reunion. It was decided last year, to locate rental property in the Black Hills for the family Reunion. Your property rentals were recommended to us by a family friend. We were fortunate to locate two properties that could accommodate our large group & both properties be within walking distance of each other in the Powder House Pass area. Our rental was Living in the Pines, we truly could have used nine bedrooms each with a private bath, but we made six bedrooms work. We love the location and took advantage of all of the sites in and around Lead, Deadwood & Rapid City to entertain our group. We certainly would recommend Black Hills adventure, property for anyone looking to locate vacation rental in this area of South Dakota.
Women's Retreat
Reviewed on 2024-04-30 by Lisa B. , Sioux Falls, SD United StatesI've held women's retreats in several Powderhouse Pass properties and was very happy with Living in the Pines. There were plenty of towels, throw blankets, and dishes/silverware for a large group of people. Not to mention the HUGE refrigerator/freezer. Beds were comfy and we used the hot tub every evening. The only thing I wish we had was a 2nd seating area. We didn't use the pool table and that's a perfect place to create another living space. Other than that, my guests loved this home!
In the Pines
Reviewed on 2024-04-30 by , Litchfield, MN USStaying at our adventure lodging was absolutely perfect. We had a large group of ladies and everyone had more than enough space to relax, get ready, and sleep. The place was clean, inviting, homey, and well taken care of. Communication with Budi was great as well.
Perfect and Wonderful
Reviewed on 2024-01-13 by , Hastings, NE UnknownWe loved our family time at Living in the Pines. All 17 of us had our own space and yet great gathering space for all of us. This home was spotless.<br/>
Christmas 2023
Reviewed on 2024-01-10 by Karmen M. , Mitchell, SD USThe house is beautiful, spacious and great for families. We totally enjoyed our stay. Would stay again anytime!
Amazing House for your group
Reviewed on 2023-12-31 by Kate S. , Omaha, NE USThis was our first time to the Black Hills, and living in the Pines was an amazing home. Everything was fantastic. Perhaps, because the home was brand new, there were a few minor maintenance issues that needed attention. Otherwise, the house was wonderfully stocked clean bed were very comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone. One really nice aspect of this home is that every room could fit a family with the use of double bunkbeds. We loved that! Also, having a heated garage was fantastic in the winter. Thank you!
Amazing Group House!
Reviewed on 2023-10-25 by Lisa F. , Lincoln , NE United StatesWe loved this house. It is perfect for a large group, and has so many bedrooms with different sleeping options. The house was decorated very nice. It is perfect for entertainment, and fun! We do a side-by-side trip every year, and it was perfect. The only critique I have is that the kitchen, although well, equipped with some things, was missing other things when cooking meals at night. But we may do and had a great experience! Would definitely rent again!

Welcome to Living In the Pines - a brand new 6 bedroom custom lodge that has been fully designed and furnished to help your group feel at home, provide ample space to spread out and enjoy some entertainment, and set up the perfect location for you to enjoy everything the Black Hills has to offer! Even better, it's located in the heart of the Northern Hills recreational corridor in Powder House Pass!
Living in the pines has zero steps leading into the main level from outside, making it great for everyone in your group. As you walk into the main living area, you're greeted with large windows, plenty of natural light, and a huge open living/kitchen/dining area with vaulted ceilings! The open kitchen area is well stock and opens up into the dining room, and living room. The living area is full of windows with a fireplace, and TV. The dining area is just off the kitchen with a large patio door that leads out onto the covered patio area. There's a gas grill on the patio area along with a cozy hot tub with a great view of the stars, and enough space to enjoy some time outside with your group. There's also 2 bedrooms on the main level just off the living area! The upper level includes a loft with a pool table, a bar area, and three more bedrooms plus a bunk room! The loft area leads outside onto a large balcony deck over the garage that has surrounding views of the forest and hills. You can enjoy your company while watching the wildlife from up there! There's also a large two car garage on the main level just off the kitchen area, ideal for parking your snowmobiles or ATV's that you've brought along for your adventure filled vacation!
Outside there's a driveway in front of the garage making it great for parking additional vehicles or ATV trailer. It's located right on the main road through the subdivision, just a couple minute walk from the expansive clubhouse that you can see from the front of the property. The clubhouse is complete with its game room, outdoor heated pool open all year, and larger non-heated pool open in the summer months. ATV and snowmobile trails can be easily accessed right from the cabin, as they're located just on the outside edge of the subdivision.
Deadwood is also just 15 minutes from the lodge with taxi service that will come to the property! You can also be enjoying Mount Rushmore, Keystone, Sylvan Lake, Custer State Park and more within just an hour drive!
