Awesome stay at this property! Great communication with owner. Owner makes you feel right at home. Perfect location to see the sites. And the most unique experience-you are greeted by up to a hundred wild turkeys in the morning!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Peaceful Rustic Retreat
Kelli's place was in an ideal location for exploring the Black Hills and Badlands. She provided great recommendations as well, which we took advantage of. It is close to groceries, gas, and a good pizza place. Rapid City is close by with bigger stores etc. The home itself is set in a peaceful area with a nearby creek and wildlife. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 children, and we especially enjoyed the use of the porch and outdoor space and grill. This is a lived-in farmhouse with personal touches, adding to its character and charm. Great for any person who loves horses/rodeo themes. The kitchen is adequately equipped, though it is without a dishwasher. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Black Hills. There is so much to see and do, and Kelli's home was a fantastic base.

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.

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.
