You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Unrivaled View where Prairie Meets Mountains. Only 20 min from Mt. Rushmore!

This home is in the foothills of the beautiful Black Hills, where prairie meets mountains. We built it on a cliff, with a spectacular view of the valley below and the Black Hills. It has log siding, with subtle stone trim, and sits on 7+ acres, overlooking the beautiful Black Hills. Our home is licensed and inspected by the state of South Dakota as a legitimate vacation rental.

The wraparound porch invites quality time in the fresh air of the Hills with sunrise and sunset views.

While the mountain air cools the house comfortably, central air conditioning is available for those rare hot days; as well as a furnace, should the temp be just a bit too cool.

Offering 3 bedrooms, this home provides plenty of personal and communal space for up to 6 folks. The full kitchen and laundry room round out the home. New carpet was installed in 2019. A garage is included for your vehicle, whether it's 4 wheeled or 2 with plenty of extra parking.

Our rate is based upon double occupancy. Our fee for additional folks is $25 per person/night.

We walked in and immediately felt at home. Everything was neat and clean, smelled fresh… I slept in the main floor bedroom, the bed was comfortable, just steps away from a full bath. The AC worked great, the house was nice and Cool… The host was there to greet us when we arrived and answered all of our questions. Would Highly Recommend this home, and will stay here again whenever we are in the area.

We had a wonderful trip! This place was the perfect spot for our family. We were able to see the sights (Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sturgis, Badlands, Devil's Tower and everything in between) and spend some time relaxing before we headed home early in the morning. The home had everything we needed to make our own meals. Beds were clean and comfortable. Thank you for such a great experience!

Peaceful Retreat
The property was very clean and beautiful. Everything was as expected, no surprises. Bob was a sweetheart and made sure to greet us on arrival and stopped over the night before we left to say good bye. We loved coming back to the house after a full day of activities to relax and unwind. It was so peaceful. Added bonus for our teenage girls was Diamond, Bob's pet horse that lives on the property. They enjoyed giving him his treats and lots of love. FIVE STARS! Oh and.....Bob and his wife are famous :)

Green as far as the eye can see
The view from this home is amazing! It is located where Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park (a must see!) beautiful lakes and the Badlands are all within an easy drive. At the end of the day, enjoy the back patio to play games, enjoy some wine, and laugh as hard as you can. Then walk to visit Diamond, the beautiful horse that is on property and who can enjoy a few snacks per day. Bob is an old school host. He will call you before your stay, and greet you on arrival. The decor is a bit dated, as seen in pictures, so if you are snooty about accommodations, this home may not be for you. But if you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful green countryside, you will love this home.

Our experience with the area was great. Mr. Bob is an excellent host. He called us a couple of times to make sure we were ok and made us feel like we were in our own home. He also provided some tips to see the local attractions. If your going to the Rapid City area, this is the place to stay.

The views here are absolutely breathtaking. This home was the cherry on top of a wonderful vacation. The pictures in the listing do not do it justice. Bob was wonderful, welcoming, and kind. The home had everything we needed; it was cozy, clean, and comfortable. When we make it back to South Dakota, we will absolutely try to stay here again.

Best host ever!
Beautiful location, great central location to see all the sights. Cute, clean, comfy house with everything we needed for a week’s stay. But, the best was Bob (and Donna)! I’ve never had such an attentive host who truly cared about us and our vacation. When heavy snow came in our last day, he called to make sure we knew roads were closed and see if we had enough food. ❤️ We LOVED our stay!

Peaceful stay with nearby attractions
Peaceful and quiet. About 20min to mammoth site. And an easy loop for Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, and Mount Rushmore. About an hour to sturgis, near Deadwood. Great views on the roads to all the tourist sites. There is a mom and pop grocery store about 20min away, but the travel gas station just up the road has a great selection. The Adventure Park is only about 15min away. Bob was a great host and met us on arrival. We did not stop to see his animals, but he did offer. Nice to get away from the busy tourist attractions but still close by.
