About this property

Mountain Retreat 10 minutes from downtown Spearfish.

Higgins Gulch is a little country road that meanders west between 2 mountain ranges before turning south where it opens up to meadows and pine covered hills bordering both sides. Although you are only 10 minutes from downtown Spearfish it will feel a million miles away. A hikers paradise! Guests will have access to a 20 acre mountain lot with walking paths and unparalleled views of 1.2 million acres of forest service land.

Our mountain retreat was built in 2022 and features 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 family rooms, multiple decks and amazing views. The property features a 14’ high rock wall with a spring fed pond along with our waterfall. This Property backs to Forest Service land for endless exploration. So whether you are enjoying your morning coffee out on the deck, napping in the hammock, soaking in the hot tub under the stars, or enjoying a movie on one of the 2 TV's, you will be in Heaven!

We have added privacy & light-blocking blinds on the main level, upgraded our wifi and added a cell booster so now calls are easy to make & receive while on your vacation!

A 3 car garage will house your vehicles and for those who find stairs difficult can use the elevator to the main floor. We also have plenty of additional parking on the adjoining lot for all your trailers, toy haulers RV's or motorcycles.

Great family getaway

The house was the perfect size for our family! The owner stopped by and told us about hiking trails located by the property and the other properties they are building. We had such a great time and would definitely come back again!

5 Nights in the Black Hills

A great place for families with kids. There are five bedrooms and a bonus room on the first floor for air mattresses. We had a few bits of feedback during our stay and the property managers were very attentive.

20076 Higgins Gulch Road / Spearfish

Spacious property with plenty of room inside and out. Had a faulty AC unit upon arrival. Roger / Owner and Faye / Booking agent were very responsive and had us up and cooled down within a couple days. Roger was outstanding to work with, pleasant demeanor, and very knowledgeable about the area. Gas stations and good places for chow very close in Spearfish. Incredible views with a nice breeze after the sun sets. Pet friendly was a plus! We will book with Roger again next year!

Nice rental for family gathering.

Faye and Roger were great to work with. There were some water issues with the house because of the bad weather but it was taken care of as quickly as possible. We were able to have a nice family Christmas. The only thing was the heating in the basement. It never felt very warm, but part of that was probably the extreme cold weather in the area. The space heaters just couldn’t keep up. Nice property and house for a vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Faye Callahan

I love hosting this gorgeous mountain home! I fell in love with Spearfish and the black hills the moment I arrived...and never left! With so much to do outdoors both in the summer and winter, it is the ideal place to visit on your vacation. My husband and I enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking, camping, hunting and playing pickelball. It brings us great joy to be able to share the beauty of Higgins Gulch and the surrounding areas with others.

I know that you will enjoy your time at this mountain retreat and look forward to hosting you soon!

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the beautiful pines and aspen of Higgins gulch. It is the perfect getaway place to enjoy the quiet and serenity that this area provides. We are surrounded by trails for hiking, biking, ATVing, skiing, snow moiling...and so much more! You can feel like you are a million miles away even though you are only 15 minutes to downtown Spearfish and 25 minutes from Sturgis and Historic Deadwood!
