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.

Wonderful, relaxing, beautiful setting
We loved being able to get so secluded with this property, close enough to town to get whatever you need but not having to contend with neighbors was awesome. The house was super clean, roomy and in good condition, the bathrooms are amazing.

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.

This was our second vacation at this house. If it was not good the first time we would not have been back. House is modern and clean, well stocked and set up for families. The quiet mornings are awesome. The fresh flowers and candy were a nice touch. Thanks Dave, for sharing this beautiful home and piece of the Black Hills. I hope all who visit will leave it just as beautiful as they found it.

Family Vacation
This property is amazing. Private, quiet, big space inside and out, space for the dogs to run, close to the sites in Custer State Park and the town of Custer. If you are looking for a secluded get away, that is close enough to the things you want to do in the Southern Black Hills, this is the place. Dave was great at communicating with us, the house has all your cooking essentials from spices to cookware. We loved it, our kids loved it and our dogs loved it!

French Creek Cabin
There are no words that can describe the peacefulness and beauty of this property. It’s set in a beautiful little valley. The only sounds you hear are French Creek meandering through the property and the birds singing. The cabin is fully supplied with many items including shampoo, body wash and conditioner. Plenty of space for a group to spread out and relax on the wraparound deck. If that’s not enough jump in the nice hot tube or go down to the fire pit and make some s’mores. This place is perfect. Cannot say enough about our host Dave. He has great communication skills and will text you once in a while to see if there’s anything that you need to make your stay even better. You can’t go wrong renting this property. There were eight in our group and had room for more.

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!

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.

Something for everyone
Our entire family enjoyed the stay. This house is large and beautiful with ample supplies and furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a good supply of toys and puzzles for the kids plus a pool table. The house was very clean and everything in order. Kids enjoyed bikes, picking wildflowers and berries and riding the trails in RZRs and especially the swing. The adults appreciated the quietness of the area, the amazing meadow of purple wildflowers in front of the house, sunrise coffee on the deck, the fire pit and the absence of traffic and noise. The layout and design of the house provided privacy for each family and ample gathering places for meals. Grilled and ate meals on the large deck. The baby turkeys were entertaining and a surprise. The house is fabulous, Dave maintained daily contact with us ensuring we had all we needed and understood the access trail for the RZR. I would recommend this house if you want to put your feet up, have a glass of wine and experience having a piece of the Black Hills all to yourself. Perfectly relaxing but only minutes from the bustle of tourist activities. It's also perfect for bringing ATVs to go out on the many numbered trails accessible. Some of our group even got to climb the Bear Mountain Lookout Tower. It's a ten!

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.

Can't wait to go back!
David and Sarah were amazing hosts and the property couldn't have been better! All the reviews about a beautiful property and well-stocked kitchen were accurate! There was also plenty of parking for our three trucks, two trailers and four SxSs. Access to the trails was right there, which we loved. We enjoyed lots of time on the deck, in the hot tub, playing cornhole (they provided) and other yard games (that we brought), and playing cards at the perfect 8-seater table downstairs when we weren't out riding. Sleep with the windows open if it's not too cold and you can hear the creek. Just awesome. Of course we had lots of rain so the water was high and moving pretty good, it seemed. French Creek Farm provided all we could ever need the day it was raining too hard to trail ride. This property is the perfect distance to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Hill City, Custer State Park and many of the random trails in the Black Hills. We put on 70-80 miles each day we rode. While we missed the yaks, we enjoyed Gypsy and Wyatt the horses, and saw other wildlife throughout our 5 night stay (a few marmots, 3 deer, 2 turkeys, lots of birds and chipmunks, and even a coyote our last morning). We never did have a fire, but only because it was either too wet or we were too exhausted from all our fun! We also appreciated the reasonable price and can't wait to go back when the yaks are there! Thank you Dave and Sarah for sharing this piece of heaven with us!

Amazing home on a Yak Farm! Best Family Vacation!
We absolutely loved this home! We had 3 generations gather there to attend the Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup and see Mt Rushmore. The location was perfect for the ultimate Black Hills experience. Tha host Dave was so responsive to all of our questions! We loved his yaks. They are very curious and will walk over to the fence to greet you! The home had the most well appointed kitchen! We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and cooked family meals every night. We loved the fireplace for the chilly night. The kids explored the surrounding forest, played pool, games and puzzles. We enjoyed the amazing view of the valley and the mountains! I am a premier host in Florida so my standards are high and this home exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend staying here for your next vacation!

Fantastic and quiet cabin away from it all
We had a great time visiting the Black Hills for the first time and staying at this beautiful home tucked in a valley away from it all. My parents loved relaxing in the rockers on the deck in the morning overlooking the property. I enjoyed the calmness you felt with how quiet it was when you were on the property. The house itself is great, has everything you would need and great finishes. We were out and about most days since it was our first time exploring the area. However, if we come back to the Black Hills I would love to stay here again and spend more time relaxing at the house. Dave was very easy to communicate with and we did take up the offer for the farm tour and to meet the yaks which were very friendly. We took his advice to hike 1.5 miles down the west valley and saw some more deer and about half a dozen elk heading up the western slope on the way back. Definitely recommend this place. Probably the best rental we've stayed at so far on our travels.
