Perfect location!

Nestled behind a creek, this house was the perfect spot to act as our base camp during out stay. Close to many attractions and amenities, yet offered solice at the end of a long day. Property is clean and inviting, our family felt right at home. Host was very nice and welcoming. Will book again if ever in the area!

The location was secluded but also very a quick drive to the local attractions. Each day, we left early and came back late. It was the perfect spot to rest and rejuvenate for the next day’s adventure.

Vacations 2024

This is the best place in the Black Hills to stay if your wanting quit, wild life every day, and cleanliness. Kelli the host is just amazing if we had questions she answered them and give us ideas besides the well known attraction to see. The beds were super comfortable and the living room was just the right size for our group. Such a fun place to staty. I would recommend this to any one any where.

South Dakota Rodeo

Our family made a two day stop on our way out west. This property is close to many sites. We visited Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custard State Park. Our host gave us several great recommendations. I would love to come back some day and hear stories about the rodeo!

Perfect location

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the somewhat hidden location and being able to escape the hustle of nearby towns. Kelli was an incredible host from offering suggestions on where to visit and making sure we were comfortable and had anything we needed. We stayed a total of 4 full days and that was barely enough to see Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, Mount Rushmore and Badlands National Park. Highly recommend checking out them all!

Convenient Location to everything!

Had a great time. House is centrally located to almost anywhere you want to go, but is private and quiet. Kelli was wonderful and responded to all questions quickly. The bottom floor is mostly underground, so if it snells musty, there is a dehumidifier on the front porch. Totally fine within a few hours of running it. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area!

Very nice, quiet place centrally located to some wonderful South Dakota attractions. Great scenery from the back yard looking towards Custer state park. Saw wildlife every evening. House had everything we could possibly need. Close to Rapid city, Badlands, Custer state park, Mount Rushmore and so much more. Host Kelli stayed in good contact and gave us great recommendations for surrounding places to go and see.

Even better than we expected.

It was completely private. And such a central location to where we had planned to visit. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room. Our son-in-law brought his high powered binoculars and he was excited to see some deer. We awoke several mornings to turkey going through the property. We all felt very much at home.

Quaint and Comfortable

My family wanted a cozy place that was secluded and private, while still being close enough to attractions that we could stay and relax or spontaneously go on adventures. This house, surrounded by trees, next to a little creek was delightful. My children played in the water, while we sat on the upstairs porch with coffee in hand. The landlady gave excellent suggestions for activities. The environment even inspired a trip to the Deadwood rodeo. We left satisfied and grateful for our stay.

Beautiful Home and Property

When I booked this I did not realize how beautiful the house and property would be. The house fit all of my family perfectly, everyone had the privacy they needed. Walking around the property was wonderful. We enjoyed the creek, the cows and horses. Sitting and eating breakfast outside with the sunshine was so nice. The bbq was great to use, especially after the long touring days of South Dakota. My 14 year old daughter was in awe of the beauty of the property and nature all around. Kelli the owner was very responsive to messages and gave great guidance of places to go. If I do come and visit the area again I would stay at this property again. I definitely recommend booking this property.

Country cozy and quiet home away from home

We really enjoyed staying at Kelli’s home the past week! We were able to travel to all the places we had planned to and come back here for quiet relaxing evenings. The country decor from twine tie backs on the curtains, rope coasters, and leather fringe window treatments to comfy beds and the creek running in front of the home made Kelli’s place a quite enjoyable place to come “ home” to. A short walk to the horse stable gave us a chance to spend a little time petting the horses. Kelli was easy to contact for questions and we had a chance to meet her and hear about her family a little when she and her sweet dog came to water the flowers in the front yard. We were thinking of going to the Hermosa drive in to watch a couple movies but never did get there. If you like quiet country living, Kelli’a place fits the bill!
