About this property
Kiddville Ranch. Site of Historical Gold Mining Camp. Pets welcome!
PETS WELCOME!
$225/night for up to 4 guests. $20/night per additional guest. Plus VRBO service fee and 6% lodging tax.
Kiddville was a small gold mining camp in the days of the settlement of the Black Hills IN THE LATE 1800's!
It was then abandoned after the gold rush.
The vacation home originally was the two story miner's boarding house. The boarding house was then converted and re-modeled into a MODEST family home in the 1930's, and the property became a private, 38 acre, ranch/homestead.
And, again, in 2007 the home was updated with new plumbing, carpet, beds,...
The location is 9 miles NW of Custer.
Six of these miles is well maintained gravel.
The second floor of the Vacation Home hosts the three small bedrooms and the full bath. The main floor consists of a living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry area, porch, and small sun room.
Two of the bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds.
The original homesteader/ranchers (my grandparents) from the 1930's lived in the house for 75 years till 2007!
The home is located on 38 privately owned acres; no other inhabited dwellings. Solitude for you!
This acreage is located in the heart of excellent National Forest deer/turkey/elk country. There are no other inhabited dwellings on the 38 acre property.
Ranch cattle may be found grazing on some of the (fenced) acreage. The five acre yard hosts no livestock.
USFS adjoins the property across from the front door.
Historic buildings yet on the property are a mine assay office, caretaker's house, a barn/corral, and cabin.
Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave are some of the nearby attractions..

Why they chose this property
The homesteaders of the 1930's were my grandparents and the property is a treasured part of the family that we wish to keep. It is our hope that it will become one of your valued memories as well as you stay at an original Black Hills Gold Mining Camp and homestead. Though the house is completely modernized, it yet holds a piece of the past that is becoming difficult to find. The MODEST home is like 'visiting grandparents on the farm', as many of our guests say. It is a friendly, down to earth atmosphere.
Each of the old buildings in the yard has a sign on the door telling what part it played in the old west.

What makes this property unique
The houseyard is adjacent to Public Black Hills Forest land, and surrounded by our own private ranch acreage, so you may hike and explore to your heart's content! Wildlife visits regularly (deer, turkeys, elk, coyotes, squirrels, songbirds,...). And if you have not experienced the clean smell of pine trees or the sound of silence, or a view of the stars without street lights, you are in for a treat!
*A yard light is available if you like too!
The location is at 6000 feet altitude in the protected southern Hills, so the weather is the best you will find in these parts!
There are two window AC units in bedrooms upstairs. And a portable AC downstairs. Generally, though, the home is quite pleasant with just a breeze through an open window!
