About this house rental

Nestled in West Custer Township, this attractive house for $189 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. PETS WELCOME! $189/night for up to 4 guests. $20/night per additional guest. Plus VRBO service fee and 6% lodging tax. Kiddville was a small gold mining camp in the days of the settlement of the Black Hills IN THE LATE 1800's! It was then abandoned after the gold rush. The vacation home originally was the two story miner's boarding house. The boarding house was then converted and re-modeled into a MODEST family home in the 1930's, and the property became a private, 38 acre, ranch/homestead. And, again, in 2007 the home was updated with new plumbing, carpet, beds,... The location is 9 miles NW of Custer. Six of these miles is well maintained gravel. The second floor of the Vacation Home hosts the three small bedrooms and the full bath. The main floor consists of a living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry area, porch, and small sun room. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds. The original homesteader/ranchers (my grandparents) from the 1930's lived in the house for 75 years till 2007! The home is located on 38 privately owned acres; no other inhabited dwellings. Solitude for you! This acreage is located in the heart of excellent National Forest deer/turkey/elk country. There are no other inhabited dwellings on the 38 acre property. Ranch cattle may be found grazing on some of the (fenced) acreage. The five acre yard hosts no livestock. USFS adjoins the property across from the front door. Historic buildings yet on the property are a mine assay office, caretaker's house, a barn/corral, and cabin. Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave are some of the nearby attractions.. Keywords: Black Hills Vacation Home, Black Hills hunting cabin, Mt.

My wife and I really enjoyed the property! It was fun coming home every day around dusk and seeing different wildlife walking through. Our dogs also loved every bit of the area! The house had everything we needed and Kay was very friendly. We’re sorry we missed her when she stopped by. We would definitely stay again.

We were looking forward to this stay from the reviews. It was nice having property for the kids and dogs to roam; However, I doubt that a full 5 acres was mowed and up kept as stated. The first night we came in at 10pm and were exhausted, but had to change/clean bedding before we could sleep. It was to late to complain, so I alerted the owner when she introduced herself the next day and I sent a message on here. She was appalled at the situation and more than apologetic for the situation. Kay and Trish were very sweet and wonderful. However, we expected old and nostalgic stay, but clean. There was too much to waste my time and their’s telling them about everything because it would been impossible to take care of during our stay. The home just really needs a good deep cleaning: floors shampooed, couches, all cabinets, walls etc cleaned. The location and property were secluded, but in a wonderful location.

I gave it 5 stars and my three dogs would give it 5 paws or bones! It was great being away from everybody, but close to everything we wanted to do. The owners were easy to get ahold of and to talk too! I would definitely recommend this place to people visiting. If we ever get the chance to go back I will be booking it again. Always nice to find a place that doesn’t have a pet fee!!

Best vacation cabin I’ve ever stayed at! Peaceful but also spooky in the best ways. Tons of space. Felt like camping in a ghost town. All the members of our group were beyond pleased. Even the ghosts were kind and welcoming

We found this by accident as we normally use alternatives but we are so glad that we did. We changed our plans due to the weather in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico and although we were going to South Dakota, we were not intending staying long. This place is amazing and we would have loved to have stayed longer than five days. We are familiar with old houses (we live in one) but the history of this and the family was lovely. We enjoyed the space, peace and quiet, fires in the evening, wildlife in the morning and the solitude and safety that Kiddville afforded us. We changed our plans yet again to ensure that we saw the sights that we had come for but also had downtime at the house. Tip for travellers, go to Mt Rushmore at 3.30 and then Crazy Horse on the way back. There were very few people at either, none at Crazy Horse and we spent all of the day just hanging out at the house. We had no need for AC as the house is cool, we just left the windows to ventilate. The bed is super comfortable and there is everything that we needed to live here. Not one person has left a review in the guest book that is anything but complimentary which tells you everything that you need to know. We had the pleasure of meeting Kay (sorry we missed you Patricia) and finding out further details of her life here and family. We seriously mean it when we say that we will be back as we would love to come back for an update of Crazy Horse development. Communication was fabulous and the house is marvellous.
