Halfway between Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park, you’ll be perfectly situated to visit all the area attractions with ease! Completely surrounded by National Forest land with numerous hiking trails and a short walk to Lakota Lake for trout fishing and recreation.
Nestled amidst the pines, the home was designed with ultimate comfort in mind:

-Beautiful views out every window with frequent deer visits at dawn and dusk
-Full size washer and dryer
-Large screen TV’s in living room and family room
Roads to property are paved. Gravel driveway with plenty of parking.

-drive or cycle scenic Iron Mountain Road with its tunnels and famous pig trail bridges
-15 minute stroll to Lakota Lake
-Custer State Park, just a short drive away, has much to offer: hikes, bison and other wildlife, swimming lakes, gorgeous drives like the Needles Highway, trail rides

-George Mickleson trail for hiking and bicycling
-Attrations like Bear Country USA, Reptile Gardens and many more
-Several stunning hikes right out the door

About the host
Hosted by Steve Kowalke
We love the Black Hills and enjoy hosting so that others can experience this beautiful part of the country.
Why they chose this property
The property is surrounded by forest service land with plenty of hiking opportunities. There is such a nice mix of outdoor activities and attractions in the Black Hills, which is especially nice for families with kids. We're centrally located close to Custer Park, Keystone, Mt Rushmore and all the wonderful attractions in the area.
What makes this property unique
When we travel, we're looking for a rental with: at least one King bed, enough seating in living and dining for all guests and comfortable outside seating as well, preferably with a screen porch and a deck/patio. So when we were building/planning this home, we decided to put Kings in 3 out of our 4 bedrooms (the other has 2 twin beds), include both inside and outside dining tables that could seat 8, a screen porch as well as back deck and front patio and that all seating is comfortable for great viewing and conversation!
