Escape to the quiet side of the Black Hills at this cozy wooded getaway on Benchmark Road. Surrounded by towering pines and fresh mountain air, this home is the perfect place to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the peace of nature—without losing modern comforts.
Inside, you’ll find warm wood finishes, vaulted ceilings, and all the rustic charm of a forest cabin paired with reliable Starlink Internet, making it easy to stay connected (or unplug completely).
There are three separate units on the property—each with its own private entrance and charm. You’ll occasionally see other guests, but the layout preserves a sense of privacy and calm. If you’re traveling with friends or family, you can rent all three units together for a spacious group retreat under the trees.
Sip your morning coffee on the porch, listen to the wind move through the pines, and end your day stargazing under a sky free of city lights.
Whether you’re working remotely, hiking nearby trails, or just craving quiet time, The Woodland Retreat at Benchmark Road welcomes you home.
