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.

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!

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!

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.

Black Hills Get Together

Very nice location away from it all (except the flies - make sure to bring a fly swatter). Thoroughly enjoyed the very well stocked kitchen, the pool table, hot tub, large deck and the incredible views. As mentioned in other reviews the kids loved running back and forth on the deck. We had some great croquet games on the lawn near the fire pit.

Awesome, relaxing getaway!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Black Hills area has plenty of wonderful activities and attractions, so we had a week full of inspiring daytime adventures. Nonetheless, this property was the biggest hit of our stay. It is a peaceful, secluded, beautiful and relaxing setting that creates indelible memories all by itself. Campfires, hot tubbing, hiking on property, nature, wildlife, grilling, upgraded kitchen - the complete package. David was a wonderful host as well. Very highly recommended!

Beautiful, peaceful setting with quick access to the OHV trails.

We had an amazing trip at this beautiful yak farm. We had 8 adults(4 couples) and had more than enough space in this new home. Everyone loved getting to view the Yaks and the gorgeous views from the extra large deck. The home has everything you need plus a pool table, dart board, bags, access to OHV trails, etc…. If you like to cook the kitchen is a dream! If we travel here again this would our first choice. We also loved the easy access to the OHV trails. So much fun!

This place is fantastic!

Our favorite family vacation so far and it had a lot to do with where we stayed. The cabin was very modern, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for a good time. The kitchen was big and well-stocked, the beds were comfortable with nice linens. Eight of us stayed and we had plenty of room. There were two large tables where we could gather and play games. A large hot tub was on the back patio right out the door so very easy to get to and the view was beautiful! There was an amazing fire pit all ready to go and the host had corn hole, a hammock and a large swing the kids enjoyed. The best part was the view from the back deck!! It looked over a beautiful valley surrounded by pine trees. I loved the view every morning and evening and was sad to leave. The deck had a grill which we used twice and a table with very comfy patio furniture to sit and enjoy the view and visit with each other. The cabin is tucked away where you have lots of peace and quiet and privacy. Yet it was close enough to all the fun things we wanted to do at Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and the surrounding sights. On our last night there the kids wanted to forgo some activities and just hang out at the cabin because it was so nice and comfortable. We grilled, enjoyed the view, played games and enjoyed the hot tub. Wanted to use the fire pit but it was raining. My family enjoyed this place so much we’re talking about coming back every summer. David was nicest host and made our stay so pleasant.

We lived the location- close to Crazy Horse Monument and to Custer but no noise on the property except for the wind and wild life. We heard elk! (My first time) We walked everyday on the property. We enjoyed the deck and how well the property fit everyone. We grilled out and ate out 1 night in Custer. Beautiful kitchen to cook in. We also loved that the basics were there- ketchup, odds and ends. Maybe we got lucky with that..?. We did a lot of things in the area- Custer state park, Jewel cave, etc. hands down would rent here again! I’m sad we didn’t get to use the great big fire ring. This place is perfect if you want access to what the Black Hills area offers but also might just want to stay home and sit on the deck for a day!

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

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.

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.

Quiet and Spacious

Cannot say enough about this property and host…beautiful, restorative, quiet, fully stocked, comfortable, spacious, responsive & communicative…. Know that you are getting remote and quiet. This is what our group wanted and it delivers perfectly! To include bugling elk! Amazing kitchen and baths. Beds were a touch soft for our crew, but that’s a very personal preference. Fire ban in effect during our stay because it was so dry. We were looking forward to fires and I’m sure they would have been top notch with the beautiful and substantial fireplace and fire pit. Thanks so much Dave & Sandy for creating such an amazing home and stewarding these very special lands.
