The chalet on high meadows - hear the silence

The Chalet on High Meadows is an artistically designed European-styled Chalet nestled in a high meadow of the Black Hills in western South Dakota. This vacation rental chalet graces a peaceful meadow and overlooks the Black Hills National Forest and is approximately 10 miles NW of Rapid City. It is conveniently positioned to the west of I-90 between Rapid City and Sturgis, SD on a well maintained county road. The easy access allows visitors to enjoy top events and attractions yet experience the quiet of the natural setting.

Enjoy the openness of the floor plan, the closeness to nature and the simple beauty that surrounds The Chalet. Features include: One full bathroom on the main floor, fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, two bedroom areas with queen-sized beds (one queen bed and a single bed upstairs in the loft; and, one queen bed downstairs near bathroom) as well as a sofa sleeper, all comfortably appointed beneath a lofted, knotty pine cathedral ceiling. Outdoors features include: Gas grill, private tennis court, gazebo, deck.

Activities include: tennis, bike riding, hiking, birding, fishing in area lakes or streams, skiing at nearby downhill ski resorts or cross-country skiing, golfing, variety of restaurants and various tourist attractions.

This cottage was so cut and cozy, it is like you stepped into a whimsical storybook. (And wine when we arrived was a nice surprise after a long drive). Very clean, and was nice to have amenities available if we chose to use them. Would definitely recommend!

Motorcycle getaway
Very clean, cozy, eclectic A-frame. 2 comfortable sleeping areas though neither has full walls so it really is “open concept”. Loved watching the wildlife off the deck. Fairly centrally located though I missed the “maintained road” reference and was a bit surprised at the 2 mile steep dirt road though the road was well maintained and we didn’t have any issues.

Chalet in the Black Hills
We had a great stay with Becci and Colin at their Chalet. Property was as advertised and we enjoyed using the hot tub and tennis court. Beds were super comfy and we had all we needed in the kitchen to prepare breakfasts and lunches after a quick trip to grocery store. We enjoyed takeout for dinner from Neighbors Grub and Pub and had a great steak meal at Dakotas Steak House. We loved the nature all around and the great selection of books on property. It was a good central location from which to visit Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, and Deadwood/Lead. Would recommend an all wheel drive for trip up hill to property. Thanks for a terrific time!

Tranquil, wooded get-a-way
This is a beautiful, peaceful, wooded property, often visited by deer and wild turkey. The chalet itself is so quaint and lovely and was way beyond my expectations, with a fully furnished kitchen, bathroom, grill, gazebo, deck, books, two large tvs and dvd player, etc. It is an open concept, so no doors on the bedrooms, so if there is a snorer, bring your earplugs. There is a large spiral staircase leading to a spacious, beautifully appointed, two double bed loft, with another lovely bedroom on the main floor, separated from the cozy living room by some large, antique, wooden screens. The gorgeous bathroom is also on the main floor and you do need to walk through the bedroom to access it, but no need to climb stairs if the staircase is not navigable for certain members of your group. The loft was plenty spacious for the two pack and plays we needed for the two babies. There are lovely antiques around, but fortunately our two little ones did not seem to be drawn to those as we brought plenty of toys to occupy them. We also brought a couple of baby gates to keep them off of the staircase. The host has provided a book which lists plenty of hiking opportunities, and there is a lovely backyard, hot tub, tennis court, rackets and tennis balls. Shoes must come off before coming into the chalet, so bring a pair of slippers as the floors are a beautiful wood that can be a bit chilly on old toes, (mine). I highly recommend this lovely property and host, and hope to return someday!

College friends reunion after 25+ years!
We started the trip with an unexpected visit to the ER (nothing to do with the chalet). Still, all ended up well and we enjoyed spending the rest of the time together listening to music, cooking, and reminiscing. Travel was put on hold but that was okay because we had all the comforts of home. Becci checked to make sure we had what we needed and we felt very pampered.

Pleasant stay
Overall we had a pleasant stay in the little Chalet. The owner Becci very friendly, and on top of things. We had some issues with a beeping smoke detector and the thermostat, and she got it fixed within an hour of our arrival! The house lays beautifully on top of a hill in a very quiet and spread-out neighborhood. Unfortunately it was already too cold to use the outdoor space. The chalet was very clean, the kitchen stocked, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had a good size with enough towels. The sink though is really low, and the shower (a converted bathtub) was downright dangerous, because it was so slippy, and the shower head so low, that my 6,2" husband really struggled to take a decent shower. And one thing I really need to point out here is, that the whole house, except for the bathroom, is one big room! It is mentioned that it has an open floor plan, but that usually does not mean that there are no separated bedrooms whatsoever. So if someone sleeps upstairs, they have to turn on the light to manage the narrow spinal stairs,which means the whole house is lighted, and needs to walk past the beds down stairs in order to go to the restroom! Also, if you are a light sleeper, this house might not be for you. Because everything is so open you hear the fridge humming, a clock ticking, and the stairwell releasing tension at night quite loud, among other noises. But since it was just two of us, the house worked fine, and we spend a very relaxing week in SD!

75th Birthday surprise road trip
We 3 sisters absolutely loved our 5-night stay! The chalet is so charming! Fully furnished kitchen, very clean, comfy beds, and luxuriant towels! We enjoyed the hot tub too! The written instructions were very helpful! One downstairs bedroom was very handy for the eldest of the group. There is only one bathroom but we managed just fine. The spiral staircase added to the charm (my 71-year-old sister hung on for dear life, but it was manageable. We would completely recommend The Chalet!

Lovely little Chalet
I’m scared to leave a glowing review because I’d love to keep this little gem a secret! It was perfect for our little getaway to the Black Hills. Super clean and well stocked, cozy and cute. The host thought of everything…even floss samples in the bathroom. It was nice to have all the tourist guides to look through as well. We saw a lot of deer and turkey on the drive to and from the chalet and in the evenings while sitting in the hot tub. The hosts live on the property, but there is enough distance to feel secluded. Host was very responsive and kept in great contact, checking to make sure we had Eve thing we needed and directions/check in/out. We will definitely stay here again!

We spent six nights at The Chalet. Beautiful Black Hills setting. We were close to attractions like Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Reptile Gardens. We saw Wild Turkeys and Deer from the deck. Bright stars were clearly visible at night. Our daughter and grandson enjoyed the hot tub. The Chalet provides everything you need. There is a nearby grocery store so now need to bring your own. This is a great place to stay and tour the Rapid City area or just get away and relax in the country.

The Chalet is in a beautiful, quiet location but still close enough to Rapid City. It’s decorated very beautifully and it’s quite comfortable. It also has a hot tub and tennis court which belongs to the property so we didn’t have to share it. There is a beautiful hiking trail within walking distance that leads into the forest. Staying here was perfect, my family absolutely loved it! Thank you.
