We loved this rental and we hope to stay again. Our favorite was the seclusion, making our stay very peaceful and calming. We loved the outdoor kitchen and shower. We were able to enjoy the beautiful fire inside and out, beautiful views from the large windows and comfortable space all around.
The property was very clean and pleasant. My family and I loved our stay. The home feels very secluded but also close to everything. Pur favorite part of the stay was enjoying the outdoor shower and stream. Star gazing at night was also fabulous. The owners were wonderful and were very responsive to any question we had. We will definitely stay at this location on our next trip to the Black Hills
This property is a Black Hills gem! Beautiful home situated along Lower French Creek adjacent to the Black Hills National Forest and close to Custer State Park. The home has all the amenities one would want, including the unique outdoor shower which our family loved. Michelle and Todd have created an oasis filled with thoughtful touches. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay. This property has easy access to the amazing Custer State Park! Easy day trips to the surrounding caves and Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse! Perfect kitchen and grill set up for cooking.
Relaxing place to stay while we explored Custer. The house was plenty big for 6 adults. The outdoor shower is great! We enjoyed being outside almost the whole trip. Loved listening to the creek and seeing the beautiful surroundings.
Great location. Was easy to get to many places in the Black Hills. House was well stocked with day to day items. Enjoyed the outdoor patio and grill area. We used it every night! Lots of yard space for the kids to play.
Our stay was wonderful! We loved the location of this house. It was a great location for visiting all the parks. We especially enjoyed Custer State Park where we saw a lot of wildlife; bighorn sheep, bison, turkeys, burros, deer and prairie dogs.The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. We appreciated the welcome basket with wine and snacks. The yard was so peaceful with the stream and the deer that stopped by in the morning and evening. We enjoyed grilling and the fire pit.The house was very clean. The beds were very comfortable.Todd was very helpful, answering all of our questions and providing insights about the area. Based on his recommendation, we ate lunch at the Alpine Inn which was definitely the best meal of our trip.
Our family stayed here the week of the Fourth of July and had the best time! The property is absolutely gorgeous and we spent as much time outside as possible. We played in the trees, fished in the creek, and ate our meals at the outdoor table. We loved the seclusion but also the close proximity to downtown Custer and the State Park. The beds were very comfortable the house was clean and well-appointed. Highly recommend!
Great stay for our family getaway to the Black Hills. Michelle was great with checking in to make sure we were comfortable andbhad everything we needed. The property was well taken care of and clean! It was great listening to the nearby creek!
The four of us enjoyed the quiet setting by the creek (inhabited by two snapping turtles), eating outside on the patio, and playing cards in the game room beside the stone fireplace. We had a great time using it as our home base.
Perfect place for our sisters trip stay. Lovely setting, private and peaceful. House fully equipped with all you need. Backyard seating for listening to the wind whisper in the pines. Just perfect.
This location was perfect for a girlfriend trip. Plenty of space, great fire area, close to Custer and had a stream in the backyard. The owners stopped by to ensure everything was correct at check-in, and let us know they lived right up the street if we needed anything. Perfect trip
This property exceeded all our expectations! When looking for somewhere to stay we wanted a place that was more secluded that would also be within distance of all of the places we wanted to visit. This property was beautiful and offered incredible views of the southern Black Hills. We enjoyed the pretty view of the stream and getting to see the deer and rabbits in the yard each day! We visited the Badlands, Rapid City, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wall Drug, and Deadwood. The location was perfect for us and made it easy for us to get to go to all of our desired destinations! The check-in and out process was very simple and convenient with the hosts being very communicative! The house itself was very clean and felt cozy. It had wonderful kitchen space and met all of our needs. The welcome basket was a very sweet touch and we got to chat with Todd one morning who was a very kind, helpful host! Overall, our stay was great and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone considering visiting the Black Hills area!
Wonderful location right outside the park. But not too far away from alot of the attractions. Has a nice yard and creek in the backyard with a firepit and outside kitchen. Had a great time.
My brother and sisters and I came for the buffalo round up and stayed in the cabin it was excellent. We made so many wonderful memories. Thank you for letting us rent your home
Pros: Welcoming and Responsive hosts. Location convenient to many attractions/activities. Comfortably furnished. Well equipped kitchen with outdoor gas grill and fire pit (with wood supply)/washer/dryer
Cons: 2 bathrooms but only one with shower/Steep learning curve for TV/satellite operation
This property is amazing. The house was so cozy. We had a relaxing time playing in the creek and watching wildlife. The host were very thoughtful. 100% would return.
