About this property

Beautiful home, amazing views, 40 acres, French Creek meandering through valley

This 3000 sq ft, custom built home sits on 40 acres and has huge deck off the side and a covered front deck. There is a huge fully appointed kitchen that features a gas range, 2 ovens and a warming drawer. The views are spectacular from the full length covered front porch or the huge side deck (perfect for watching the stars). The 40 acre property is right in the middle of the Black Hills and is surrounded by forest service with French Creek rolling through the valley. There are an endless amount of trails that can be accessed directly off the property for all your outdoor activities (ATV's, horseback riding, hiking and climbing).

The outdoor activities are endless with great hiking, ATV or mountain bike riding, horseback riding or just relaxing in the heart of the hills. It is also very close to downtown Custer, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, great restaurants, bars and much more. Horses and ATV's have access to endless trails right off the property.

And we just added a hot tub!!! Relax after a busy day in the hills by sitting out in the hot tub under the stunning stars. A perfect way to end the day or enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

We have gone to the Hills for a family get together for the last 10 years. This cabin is by far the best place ever! Spotlessly clean, spacious and stocked with all the essentials and more. Loved the hot tub and the awesome deck with the spectacular view! Such a peaceful and secluded location. We plan to come back next year for sure. Highly recommend!

Awesome, beautiful property inside and outside. We especially enjoyed the large wrap-around deck. Great views! Super place to hangout with our kids, grandkids, and dogs. The property feels secluded and private, which we loved. So quiet and peaceful. The house is very well-stocked, and the hosts are great!

Easily one of the best cabins we’ve ever been too. If you like to cook the kitchen has anything you could need. Same with activities for the whole family. The property was absolutely a paradise. We LOVED it. Every time I thought I might need something I’d simply find it already provided.

2025 is our third family vacation at this house on French Creek. Amazing! The house is clean and efficient with ample space for each family to have privacy. Kids love the swing and pool table. Hot tub is a must. Early on our second morning we saw five bull elk in the meadow in front of the house. How awesome is that!!?Hosts are very attentive without hovering, great attention to detail. Love the quiet, clean air and mountain views. Check-in couldn't be simpler. Thanks Sarah & Dave

We have rented quite a few vacation homes and this is one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean and had everything our family of 8 needed to have an amazing time. Communication with the host was excellent and we loved the seclusion, privacy, and most of all the beautiful setting and access to hiking and mountain biking trails. Would give it 10 stars if possible!

Beautiful and well appointed home on stunning land

We enjoyed a lovely three night stay and would highly recommend this property. Excellent communication from hosts, welcoming flowers and chocolate, cozy and beautiful home. We saw countless deer on the property and enjoyed the hottub and stunning deck. Many games available and a pool table led to great times with the kids.

Wonderful, relaxing, beautiful setting

We loved being able to get so secluded with this property, close enough to town to get whatever you need but not having to contend with neighbors was awesome. The house was super clean, roomy and in good condition, the bathrooms are amazing.

Family Vacation

This property is amazing. Private, quiet, big space inside and out, space for the dogs to run, close to the sites in Custer State Park and the town of Custer. If you are looking for a secluded get away, that is close enough to the things you want to do in the Southern Black Hills, this is the place. Dave was great at communicating with us, the house has all your cooking essentials from spices to cookware. We loved it, our kids loved it and our dogs loved it!

Best stay ever in Black Hills

My wife and I and daughter stayed. At the property period it was one of the nicest VR BO properties we have ever stayed at. I would highly recommend period the view was spectacular. The home was immaculate and our host was excellent. Do not overlook this place when you are looking for a stay in the black hills.

This was our second vacation at this house. If it was not good the first time we would not have been back. House is modern and clean, well stocked and set up for families. The quiet mornings are awesome. The fresh flowers and candy were a nice touch. Thanks Dave, for sharing this beautiful home and piece of the Black Hills. I hope all who visit will leave it just as beautiful as they found it.
