Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2026
Jerry and his family were fantastic guests and we were so happy to have them. Yes, we live a few miles back in the Hills on the gravel roads and that is why it is so Peaceful in the Pines. We hope you have safe travels home and if you decide to visit the beautiful Black Hills again we hope you choose our rental.
About the host
Hosted by Brad & Paula Fontaine
My wife and I like to hike, camp and hunt in the Black Hills and surrounding areas. We like to travel, and we know what it's like to be a guest as well as a host where people can stay.
Why they chose this property
We choose this area because it has beautiful views and is very peaceful area to live in. Also, the weather is very nice and we're close to towns and all the main attractions the Black Hills has to offer.
What makes this property unique
We live on a no-outlet road, so for the most part it is very quiet and relaxing especially in the evenings. We have some excellent views and plenty of wildlife and pine trees.
