About this property
Private Dock! Boat to Famous Sand Bar!
This Rapid City home blends peace and quiet with outdoor adventure for those who like to keep busy! There is a private dock that has easy access to the entire Chain of Lakes including Torch Lake, Elk Lake, Clam Lake and Lake Skegemog. You can take your private boat right from the house to the famous Torch Lake Sand Bar! You can easily rent and keep the boat at the house or bring your own and only have to launch in and out once!
Outdoors, the house sits on almost an acre of land with plenty of room for outdoor games, enjoying the fire pit or sitting on the large deck. There is room for you to enjoy sitting on the dock and watching the sunset! For outdoor enthusiasts, you can take the paddle boat or the Kayaks! In the summer, you can hike or bike the Seven Bridges Nature Area or head to Shanty Creek Resort for snow sports in the winter!
Inside the house boasts 4 inviting bedrooms. Lower-level room includes 1 queen bed with a half bath next to it for guests to enjoy. Upper level includes primary room with 1 king bed and an attached bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate stand-up shower. Upper level also has a second room with a queen bed and a third room has full bunk beds. (There is a trundle bed for use, it's just hard to pull out). The third bathroom is also on the upper floor which includes a tub/shower combo. Amenities like a hair dryer, towels and toiletries are also included. (There is a pull-out couch in the game room seating area. If you'd like that pulled out beforehand, please let us know)!
There is also plenty of room for all to spread out! You can sit peacefully in one living room and watch TV or sit in the other and enjoy a book or drink by the fireplace. Coming off the lake or having a rainy day, you can play a round of pool or use the shuffleboard in the large game room. There is also a cozy sitting area in the game room if you want to feel like part of the fun or just feel like resting! The all-seasons room is also there for storage or to use as another seating area. A fully stocked kitchen and large dining room with plenty of seating is yours to use!
If planning to enjoy your golf game or ski trip or just need some storage for your stay, the two-car garage will also be available to store your clubs, snowmobiles or any other belongings to lock up.

Very nice house and well stocked from cooking items, to towels, to the various games the house was stocked with whatever you could need. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Will come back!
We had a fantastic stay at Kay’s property! The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with everything we needed. The location was perfect, and you can tell it’s well cared for. Kay was an absolutely wonderful host—responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We felt right at home. Highly recommended, and we would absolutely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The owners have put a lot of thought into making it a great place for one or more families to relax and enjoy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook. There are multiple spots to be cozy and watch TV, as well as a small room with a fireplace that’s perfect for reading a book. We got lots of use out of the pool table! This home would be amazing in the summer, too, with a huge backyard and long dock. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us!
The place was very spacious and well equipped. We did have some issues with the pull out bed, but we're able to navigate though the issues for the weekend.
It’s not often that a house looks even BETTER in person than in the pictures. But this house does. The house is beautiful and the porch and backyard are so nice. The house is cozy and makes you feel like you are right at home. I will be recommending this property to all friends and family that are looking to vacation in the Torch Lake/ Elk Lake area. They provided all of the amenities you could possibly need and more!
