About this property

Modern Black Hills home nestled in the pines near beautiful Pactola Lake

This modern cedar-sided home offers comfort and convenience, but it is the peaceful, secluded aura that makes it hard to leave. Nestled into the hills, we are bordered by Forest Service land, which offers endless hiking opportunities. The breeze whistling in the pines truly induces peace and relaxation. The outdoor patio and deck space around the home invite family time or individual rest.

The home, built in 2002, has two levels, with the upper floor including a large master bedroom with glass doors leading to the back deck, large full bathroom, fully stocked kitchen, large family room and dining area. The lower level holds two bedrooms with queen beds, a full bathroom, laundry area, and large family/game room with a wood-burning stove. Five sliding glass doors and large windows offering beautiful views of the Hills are located throughout the home. Spacious rooms give every guest privacy, yet create openness for group activity.


Fully Stocked Kitchen: Guests are welcome to use the modern conveniences of a gas grill, dishwasher, refrigerator, electric stove, coffee-maker, and microwave. Cupboards are stocked with popular seasonings and staples such as coffee, flour and sugar. Cooking utensils, dinnerware, and silverware are all supplied in quantity.

An electric washer and dryer are available for guest usage in the lower level of the home.

Extra Comforts: Each bedroom features a newer queen-size mattress and its own thermostat for individual control. The home has electric heat, and with the shade of the surrounding pines, is very comfortable all summer.

Beautiful Black Hills

Cabin was clean, fully equipped with everything that we needed and in a beautiful and quiet area. Came with the family and we all enjoyed our stay. As with everywhere in the Black Hills it is a bit of drive to all the attractions but we were expecting that ... got visits from cows every morning, haha.

The perfect get away

If you are looking for a quiet cabin away from the hustle and bustle but also still close enough to main attractions, then you found it. We (me, my husband, and four kiddos) definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet for our three day stay.

Great place to stay !!

Perfect place, centrally located to all of our activities. Beds were nice, the couch and loveseat should be replaced if it were up to me , us fat guys had a heck of a time getting out of them :) floors were pretty squeaky for the sleeping in parties downstairs but it was time to get up anyway right. Thank you for a lovely weekend

Off the beaten path

Beautiful cabin located about 4 miles off the paved road. Good wildlife viewing going in and out, if you don't mind traveling on a gravel road. Location is very convenient for Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and Devils Tower.

Great place

We enjoyed this cabin. It was very conveniently located between the things we wanted to do during our stay. The area around the cabin was quiet and peaceful, which is exactly what we were looking for. The locks on the doors are not real easy to lock, especially the upper level sliding glass doors which don'treallylock at all. The main door was not the most convenient and is not a deadbolt as indicated in description. Other thing I wasn't thrilled with was decor and items around with christian god references. There are many different religions in this country and rest of world and felt that was inappropriate decor to have in a vrbo listing.

Great time in SD

The cottage is lovely, clean and well stocked. Quiet and peaceful place in wooded area. Internet is a bit spotty for a teenager, but enough for grownups. No cellphone reception but understandable considering the location. Otherwise, close to all attractions in the area yet quiet and secluded. Great stay for my hubby and our son. Thank you Kari!

Enjoy South Dakota

Very nice house in the Black Hills. House was clean, beds were comfortable, neighborhood was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the drive up to the house, but we had a SUV. Low riding cars may have an issue is a few spots. You really get the in the mountains feel. Within an hour to hour and a half drive to all the major attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Kari O'Neill

Host profile image
We live on a farm/ranch about 180 mi. SE our vacation home. We love to get away to the Black Hills, and feel a natural pull to the area. I (Kari) work for South Dakota State University in Community Development. We enjoy spending time with grandkids and family, fishing, and hiking. Our roots are deep in agriculture, with Rick's ranch being in his family over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

Simple - we LOVE the area and the home, and want to share it!

What makes this property unique

We are in the true beauty of the Black Hills. Wildlife comes up to the door and in the late summer cattle are around due to open grazing in the National Forest.
