Bear Butte Lookout | Hot Tub, RV Hookups & Games — Guest Reviews

We had a great stay at Bear Butte! The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed and more. It was well stocked with thoughtful extras that made our stay even more comfortable. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Sturgis area!

We had the most amazing time! This was our first ever Airbnb and I can't imagine getting this experience topped by anyone else! Definitely will be back and would love to visit some of Kylie's other Airbnb's! Kylie has been so pleasant to work with and the home was perfect! The views were beautiful! The out door hot tub was easy to use and cozy at the end of day! All the amenities were in great like new condition and comfortable furniture! I love the cozy decor and atmosphere and outdoor views! Definitely can't wait to go back! Thank you so much Kylie! ~Alicia and Brandon

Loved staying at Kylie's place, very proactive host and the location served as a great home-base to our activities, near Rapid City, but felt like a private get-away

The views from this place are phenomenal! It’s so quiet and peaceful, but still near downtown Sturgis. Great home base to travel to Custer, badlands, deadwood and more! Hosts are extremely responsive. We were running low on a few supplies and they quickly resolved this issue. The house was clean, bright and comfortable. The view out the front window every morning was something I could get used to. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay here! Hot tub was very relaxing and it was easy to get to for a soccer tournament in town!

I recommend this place it’s low key tucked away beautiful surroundings very quiet and peaceful 😌 I love it I will visit again nice and clean 💯

Cute home, perfect size for a couple or small family. Stunning views. Quiet. Peaceful. Will visit again.

Very nice place to get away and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Very clean and organized house. Very nice and kind host. Will stay there again!

Very relaxing stay. Quiet and peaceful location with great sunrise and sunset views.

This cabin was absolutely amazing and close to all the main attractions at Sturgis, which we loved! The hosts were so responsive and kind, and we would definitely stay here again!

Had an amazing view and got to watch some deer. The inside was comfortable. Will definitely stay here again if it’s available next time.

Great place to stay. So peaceful and relaxing. Super clean and host was very attentive and great with communicating. Would definitely recommend.

Great home, great location, with the best views! If you are looking for a nice, neat, quite location to relax this is it!

We will definitely be back! No complaints

Beautiful location, peaceful. Everything was as a described. perfect spot to use as a home base and do day trips. Kylie checked in on us the first day to make sure everything was in order and also the day before checkout. Loved it!

We loved our stay! This was such a cozy spot! The location is quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view! Kylie was an amazing, helpful host. Instructions were clear and cabin had all amenities listed. We were able to explore all the top spots in SD (Mount Rushmore, Custer state park, Badlands, Crazy horse) from this location. Would stay here again!!! :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!!

We had a great time here. The house was clean and supplied with everything you need. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views.

We really enjoyed our stay, great place, quiet and felt very homey. Would recommend anyone stay there.

Very clean and nice place would recommend

Perfect location to unwind for a few days.

Great little place!

Peaceful great location with awesome views. Very well stocked, clean and comfortable, tastefully decorated. Elliott and Kylie were very responsive, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay there again if I'm in the area.

Amazing place and location!! Clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The night sky views were amazing! We can't wait to come back!

Great stay to get out of Texas. Perfect area to travel around all of the Black Hills at a reasonable distance. Secluded and beautiful views of Bear Butte

Will visit again

The house and views were beautiful. Elliott snd Kylie were so responsive and welcoming. We had a great stay! Wish we could have stargazed but it was cloudy. The hot tub was a nice night activity though.

Peaceful cabin with a great view of Bear Butte. We stayed here to access the Badlands, Devils Tower, and all that the black hills have to offer -Rushmore, Custer state park, wind cave, jewel cave, etc. Elliott and Kylie are extremely responsive and kind hosts! Highly recommend!

everything was great. it was right what we needed. we where so close to the Buffalo that it worked out great.

Elliott and Kylie were impressive on response times prior to check-in and during our stay. They even sent a message mid-stay to see if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend. The view is so serene and peaceful. I was able to get some good sunsets photos (I love sunsets!) and the view of Bear Butte Mountain was a beautiful backdrop with our morning coffee. The house was welcoming and made us feel right at home. And the hot tub was an added bonus! And it is located not far from Sturgis so if you forget something, it's only a few minutes into town.

This was a great location for our week-long family vacation! The home is in a quiet, private location but close to the highway to get to everywhere we wanted to visit in the Black Hills. Everyone had a comfortable space to spread out and have great sleep each night. Having a pack and play available was great for our little one. We cooked most of our meals at the house and the kitchen was well appointed for feeding a family of 5! The hot tub (with extra swim towels!) was a hit with everyone and the view of Bear Butte from the living room and porch is amazing. Locally we loved the Bear Butte trail hike, Sturgis & Spearfish rec centers with pools, the paved centennial walking trail close by in Sturgis, Rapid City farmer's market, and of course all the bigger tourist sites, too! Having a washer and dryer in the home was so convenient after all the hikes and adventures. We'll definitely visit again if we're back in the area!

We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to visit again. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It was in a great, private location. There was so much to do within 30-60 minutes of the house. We loved it!

We had a fabulous time at this clean, peaceful home. Kelly was super about checking in to be sure we had everything we needed!

The views were amazing! We had a wonderful time!

We loved our stay. Very peaceful and serene. Great views of Bear Mountain. Very attentive host. There is a camera over the jacuzzi area which I was indifferent about. Overall - great rental and would not hesitate to stay again.

Liked how this was centrally located and was easy to get to. It was quiet and surrounded by beautiful scenery. This house was the perfect place for our stay in SD.!

We had a perfect stay in this lovely home surrounded by incredible views of Bear Butte! The home was clean, well equipped with linens and kitchen supplies, and was in a quiet and private location. Enjoying the hot tub under the night sky or in the cool morning was incredible! Loved this home and location; hope to be back some day for sure! Thanks Elliott and Kylie!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Clean and everything we needed!

The house was very beautiful, quiet and in a very nice location we enjoyed our stay an d the surrounding places to visit:)

Very nice and quiet place , I’ll highly recommend it to you

This place was awesome! What a view!

The place is adorable! We had a bit of really bad weather...70 mph wind gusts which kept us house bout for a day. But had found plenty of games to keep us entertained. And after hiking Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Jewel caves, the hot tube was amazing. Thank you

The perfect getaway for a couples weekend. Just a short drive to deadwood and hiking spots. The front deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee

good place

A perfect stay! My sister and I stayed at Elliott and Kylie’s place to visit the SD national parks. Their place was comforting and beautiful!

We had an amazing time during our stay! The home itself was very clean and the host was very respectful and responsive! We overall had a great stay!

Great stay

great place to stay.

Overall very nice stay! We really enjoyed all the amenities and had a wonderful stay. Everything was very clean and would recommend to family and friends!

Very beautiful place, we had a very good time and enjoyed our stay.

Wish we could have made the stay, but the hosts seemed nice.

A beautiful, modern, and cozy little oasis! The perfect little getaway for my family!

This place is really comfortable and perfectly equipped for a pleasant stay. The view of Bear Butte is stunning and the hot tub is a really nice amenity. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to travel to the area.

Great place!

Very clean place with a great location. They put a tall privacy fence around the majority of the hot tub so you lose the panoramic views described and pictured. They also send a contract you have to sign after booking with many more rules and potential fee charges listed (excessive dog hair, unapproved dogs, utility usage, etc). I think the additional potential fees are fine but should be listed in the air bnb description. They have a security camera aimed directly at the hot tub. The contract also mentioned that “periodic patrols” may occur for safety, just didn’t feel right. I think this place is cute and clean, the house itself fit us nice but wasn’t worth the price point and additional terms and conditions listed after the fact. We also didn’t have WiFi for a little less than half our stay.

Very nice home. Everything as was promised and host was responsive and friendly. Highly recommend.

The peaceful location was just what our family needed to unwind and reconnect. By far the favorite was sitting in the hot tub and looking at the stars. So serene and the beds were very comfortable and it was tastefully decorated and just the right amount of space for our family of 5 :)

Awesome place! stayed out there for the black hills veterans march! everything was awesome. If I were to complain about one thing it would be the mattress. But that could just be me, the service has taken a toll on my back anyways so it matters not. I loved how quiet it was, definately didn't miss my home in sioux falls and all the noise and bustle. Was cool to see that they had a starlink set up! I also had to pay a deposit outside of Airbnb that is not reimbursed and had no mention of it in the description, but I understand they gotta know who's renting the place so people don't wreck the nice thing they have going. The camera on the hottub was kinda weird but I'm sure they have people try to sneak it so it's understandable. K, I've rambled on enough this place is great and worth it. Communication was great as well. If you read this reveiw looking for a place near stugis or the black hills this should definately be worth your consideration of places to stay!

I was so impressed from the moment we pulled up in the driveway, it was so convenient and clean, comfortable and we loved it so much we booked for 10 days next year!

Gentry Reed and crew are welcome back any time!

Great location, cozy place with great views

Very nice cabin- easy to find and close enough to Rapid and getting up in the Hills!

Cute little place. Nice and secluded. Main bedroom bed was a bit hard and bedding was a bit thin, but overall it worked for our short stay. Very convenient location to so many local attractions.

Beautiful place. Loved the views. Wish our stay was longer. Would definitely recommend this place
