The Unrivaled View where Prairie Meets Mountains. Only 20 min from Mt. Rushmore!

This home is in the foothills of the beautiful Black Hills, where prairie meets mountains. We built it on a cliff, with a spectacular view of the valley below and the Black Hills. It has log siding, with subtle stone trim, and sits on 7+ acres, overlooking the beautiful Black Hills. Our home is licensed and inspected by the state of South Dakota as a legitimate vacation rental.

The wraparound porch invites quality time in the fresh air of the Hills with sunrise and sunset views.

While the mountain air cools the house comfortably, central air conditioning is available for those rare hot days; as well as a furnace, should the temp be just a bit too cool.

Offering 3 bedrooms, this home provides plenty of personal and communal space for up to 6 folks. The full kitchen and laundry room round out the home. New carpet was installed in 2019. A garage is included for your vehicle, whether it's 4 wheeled or 2 with plenty of extra parking.

Our rate is based upon double occupancy. Our fee for additional folks is $25 per person/night.

Green as far as the eye can see
The view from this home is amazing! It is located where Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park (a must see!) beautiful lakes and the Badlands are all within an easy drive. At the end of the day, enjoy the back patio to play games, enjoy some wine, and laugh as hard as you can. Then walk to visit Diamond, the beautiful horse that is on property and who can enjoy a few snacks per day. Bob is an old school host. He will call you before your stay, and greet you on arrival. The decor is a bit dated, as seen in pictures, so if you are snooty about accommodations, this home may not be for you. But if you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful green countryside, you will love this home.

We walked in and immediately felt at home. Everything was neat and clean, smelled fresh… I slept in the main floor bedroom, the bed was comfortable, just steps away from a full bath. The AC worked great, the house was nice and Cool… The host was there to greet us when we arrived and answered all of our questions. Would Highly Recommend this home, and will stay here again whenever we are in the area.

We had a wonderful trip! This place was the perfect spot for our family. We were able to see the sights (Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sturgis, Badlands, Devil's Tower and everything in between) and spend some time relaxing before we headed home early in the morning. The home had everything we needed to make our own meals. Beds were clean and comfortable. Thank you for such a great experience!

Peaceful Retreat
The property was very clean and beautiful. Everything was as expected, no surprises. Bob was a sweetheart and made sure to greet us on arrival and stopped over the night before we left to say good bye. We loved coming back to the house after a full day of activities to relax and unwind. It was so peaceful. Added bonus for our teenage girls was Diamond, Bob's pet horse that lives on the property. They enjoyed giving him his treats and lots of love. FIVE STARS! Oh and.....Bob and his wife are famous :)

Nicest host you’ll ver find
We chose this location because it was outside of Rapid City, away from the traffic and noise. This is a pretty ranch property about 15-20 miles from town so, you’re out in the countryside which we wanted. There’s one horse on the property and he enjoys your attention. Some mornings we woke up to deer exploring around the corral or wild turkeys walking past the front door. And the stars at night! Wow! Also garage parking for our car. Only one shower/bathtub. But there were only two of us. You’ll find your host (Bob) one of the nicest, friendliest, accommodating people out there. We just loved him and even visited his nearby ranch. He was waiting at the property when we arrived and showed us all around and made sure we were settled in properly. The property is centrally located to all the area’s attractions. Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, and the Mammoth Site were all nearby. We drove about an hour back I90 to spend the day in the Bad Lands and another day we drove up through Sturgis and onward to Devil’s Tower. Now, again, you’re out in the country so not much dining options. There’s a small diner/grill nearby (we did not visit) and an excellent pizza shop nearby too. In Hermosa, there’s a small grocery store to get your essentials. We stopped in Rapid City at a major chain grocery for our week’s supplies on out way into Hermosa. I’ll mention again that our host was just nice a nice person. We were completely satisfied with our visit to this property i

Bob and Donna are two of the nicest people you could ever meet! The kind of people you hope to meet in your life. Bob even called us a couple times to check on us or see if we needed anything and to let us know some local things going on. We rented the same house a couple years ago and couldn’t wait to get back, it felt like home. It’s cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect for going and seeing all the sights. We even took a day trip to Wyoming to see Devil’s Tower, which is only a couple hours from there. We will probably go back again some day and will definitely stay here! ❤️❤️❤️

Peaceful stay with nearby attractions
Peaceful and quiet. About 20min to mammoth site. And an easy loop for Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, and Mount Rushmore. About an hour to sturgis, near Deadwood. Great views on the roads to all the tourist sites. There is a mom and pop grocery store about 20min away, but the travel gas station just up the road has a great selection. The Adventure Park is only about 15min away. Bob was a great host and met us on arrival. We did not stop to see his animals, but he did offer. Nice to get away from the busy tourist attractions but still close by.
