We had such an amazing time at Destiny! It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a 5 night stay. We saw wildlife at the cabin every day, and had fun just walking around and exploring the property grounds. The front porch was my favorite place to sit and relax, enjoying the sounds of nature and looking for wildlife. Thank you so much for sharing your truly amazing home with our family. We made the most incredible memories and hope to come back again someday!

This was our 2nd stay at Destiny. We liked it so much we changed our vacation dates when we saw it had availability. Not only is the house stunning, the views from the inside of the home and outside the home are indescribable. Sitting on the deck listening to the creek and breathing the fresh mountain air is my therapy, minus the insurance co-pays. We will do everything we can to always stay at this home. The dogs didn’t even want to leave. I do want to encourage you all to not just enjoy the house but also the property. Go explore, walk the creek, go gold panning or go on a hike. You won’t regret it. If I could give this more than 5 I would.

I couldn’t be happier with our stay. The cabin was clean and the directions were very accurate and helpful. The property itself was gorgeous leading in and out of the development. The accommodations were cozy and homie and actually we chose to just stay at the cabin more than even venturing out. We definitely would do this again. The host was more than gracious for everything that they provided and all of the directions, including the map to get to the cabin. It was a fantastic stay.

Very clean, working with the host was so easy, and the amenities were great. The cabin was cozy, yet roomy. We will definitely look to stay again. It is truly a magical place. Thank you so much.

If you’re looking for the perfect Black Hills getaway, this creekside cabin in Deadwood is it. From the moment you walk in, the beautiful wood accents and thoughtful little touches make it feel warm, cozy, and truly special.Everything was spotless—seriously one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed—and check-in couldn’t have been easier. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to fully relax after a day exploring.But the real highlight? The porch. Solid wood, classic rocking chairs, and the peaceful sound of the creek flowing nearby. Sitting out there in the morning with a cup of coffee was pure magic.The location is also a huge plus—just minutes from Main Street in Deadwood, so you’re close to great shops, restaurants, and a little gambling fun, while still feeling tucked away in nature.We absolutely loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Dan DiTomaso

Host profile image

Dan and Ann Marie DiTomaso are your hosts and we welcome you to Destiny!

Why they chose this property

This property epitomizes the beauty of the Black Hills and is steeped in history and wildlife. The home was positioned next to the creek and at an elevation to ensure perpetually beautiful views. Sitting in a gulch, it is protected from wind, but at that elevation it can get some serious snow. I have seen photos and heard stories from the people before me of 60" overnight snow storms. In the DeadWood mining district the home is just around the corner from the Two Bit assey office and Two Bit hotel. There were originally several gold claims on the property. If you walk up the creekbed you will see where the stream was diverted for panning and shaker operations. You can see the "Drift Cut" Gold mine entrance that was once the B&M Loade Claim or the Elgin Loade Claim. It is only about 100-125 feet from the driveway edge. The wooden bear marks the way. The faux miners shed is clad in cynide lids found in the immediate area you will see this as soon as you cross the bridge to get to the house. Wildlife abounds! deer, elk, coyote, skunk, marmot, bobcat and mountain lion have been seen first hand on the property. Big horn sheep can be found only a few miles away on 14A (they literlaly hang out at the big horn sheep sign). The coolest mountain goats live in Spearfish Canyon where you will also see big birds of prey as well. The mountain goats have the white beards, yeah that kind of goat. You are in the northern hills where the terain and weather are more rugged and yet a close enough drive to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, Sylvan lake and much much more. The 1880 train is not far and well worthwhile as is the Adams Museum, Adams House, gaming and dining in Deadwood. The Rodeo comes to town and music and entertainment is on the agenda almost constantly. In Lead, one town over there is a mining museaum and the Famous Home Stake Gold Mine with its own story and really cool history. Friendship tower is a cool hike that is only a few miles away.

What makes this property unique

A real gold mine is on the property and is only 100-125 feet away from the driveway. It is old and partially collapsed so would not recommend entering it, but to climb up to it and see it up close is always very cool. The Two bit Creek was named Two Bit because every gold pan yielded 2 bits. The creek runs directly thru the center of the property. after the snow melt and spring rains it can be a torrent, by August it slows down dramatically. It is a year round thing as the fish are there every year!
