Our family stayed here for the first time in August. We loved our cottage - quaint, very clean and well maintained. During the day we took side trips through the Black Hills and saw many local attractions. Our kids loved the nightly fire pit where we roasted marshmellows and played games. What made our stay most special was the hospitality... More

We recently stayed in the Sportman's Cottage and don't have enough good things to say about Whispering Winds Cottages. Jim and Marla are excellent hosts and they had a fire lit for us every night that we stayed. The cabin was very clean and provided more than enough room for the 6 people in our party. I would highly recommend... More

My husband and I spent our honeymoon during Sturgis week and although it was a ways to drive into Sturgis, we can't image having a better place to have spent that time. Jim and Marla were the greatest hosts. They gave us so much "insider" information that we were able to spend our time wisely and get the most out... More

Stayed here with my family and father this summer for a week. Rented the "sportman's cabin". My family generally travels using camper cottages or cabins as we go.. So, relative to the places we've stayed across the country..The place is clean... no... the place is CLEAN. Everything was in good shape... newer if not new.. working.. functional.. stocked..mowed.. trimmed.. painted.... More

My wife and I stayed here one night while visiting the Black Hills on a motorcycle. We stayed in a really nice cabin that looked like it was new on the inside. Super clean, fridge, microwave, satellite TV, comfy bed, and a nice front porch / deck for sitting and looking at the view outside. Free covered parking for motorcycles.... More

Whispering Winds Cottages are affordable, centrally located and clean. What sets Whispering Winds apart are the owners, Jim and Marla. Their kindness, knowledge and obvious dedication to making it a fun family experience makes Whispering Winds a destination we look forward to coming back to!

My wife, sister-in-law and I stayed two nights, and we echo the other great reviews. Jim and Marla were knowledgeable and gracious hosts who were genuinely interested in doing whatever they could to make our stay more pleasant. Our cottage (#1-Nautical) was not fancy, but clean, cozy, and, per my wife, cute. It had a mic and small fridge, no... More

Stayed at Whispering Winds for a weekend in June. It was an excellent location as a base for day trips throughout the Black Hills region. The grounds were beautiful, and the cottages were clean and well appointed. The relaxed atmosphere was welcome between excursions. Jim and Marla were great hosts--they treated us just like family.
