About this house rental

The Carriage House is a One Bedroom, two level, two Bath, 800 square-foot cabin with over 300 square-feet of deck on both levels. The Carriage House was designed by the McDonald family in the "mountain log lodge vernacular". (Please note both bathrooms are located on the 2nd floor, upstairs.) The first floor has a full kitchen, dining area, and a convertible living room that includes a high end queen sized sofa sleeper. We also have two twin size roll away beds available upon request. These two roll-away beds can be added to the lower or upper levels. The second floor has a full bathroom which includes a shower / tub combo, located at the top of the stairs. The second floor also includes the master bedroom, with a separate full bath with a shower, two sink vanity area, and water closet. The master has a queen bed with high end bedding. There is an entrance from the master suite out to a beautiful wrap around redwood deck which has chairs and a spectacular view of the mountains and meadows. We feel that the elevated wrap around porch is one of the best things about the Carriage House. There is a large oak tree that the deck was built around bringing the nature of the hills close as you sit and enjoy the views from every angle. From its elevated decks, you have scenic views of mountain meadows and rolling wooded hills full of the famed dark ponderosa pine trees. Our meadows, although variable with the season, are rich in color and usually have an abundance of wildlife including deer, turkey, squirrels, etc. With just a short walk, Mt. Rushmore is visible through the trees! The Carriage House provides a Washer/Dryer, as well as fully stocked cooking facilities. We have access to free Wi-Fi, a 32" Roku TV, air conditioning, heating, outdoor dining facilities with a propane grill. (We supply the propane.) Cell service can be unreliable at the ranch and all through the Black Hills. However, we have recently, (Spring 2022), upgraded to Starlink satellite internet. Check in is at 4:00pm MST or later. Given our full house and small staff, we ask that you do not arrive early. Late check in, after 8pm, can be arranged; please call us. *Minimum age requirement for the Carriage House is three years old. On the property is a swing set and other outdoor equipment for children to use, including a large meadow. *Maximum occupancy of 5 people, I.E. - One family. *Due to many considerations, we do not allow animals / pets on our property. No exceptions. If a guest arrives for their reservation with an animal they will NOT be given a rental key NOR issued a refund. Thank you for understanding. Driving and Parking Info: The Ranch is located directly off of a well maintained and paved county road.  Our driveways are hard packed dirt and gravel.  We have limited parking near each of the cabins and suites. We have an additional parking area at the rear of the main lodge.  We have a large, well kept meadow beyond that for overflow parking of motorcycle trailers, side by sides, etc.  We ask that you do not block the main driveways or the two car garage at the front of the property. Note: The two car garage is not available for guest use. It is used as a business workspace and parking for the owner's vehicle.

This property is in a wonderful location and the scenery is amazing. Mr Richard was a wonderful host and the Carriage House was a perfect retreat for our 8 day vacation. After a long day of riding our bikes in the Black Hills, it was home away from home. Thank you Mr Richard! I really enjoyed talking with you and I hope to see you again in the near future!

Had a fanatic experience, would highly recommend. Great location right by gorgeous hiking trails, Custer State Park, Needles Highway, and much much more. Sunny patio in the morning to sit and sip coffee while admiring the views and deciding what to do for the day.

We loved staying in the carriage house. It is exactly as pictured. The large upstairs deck is wonderful and private. There is also an additional seating area on the main floor off of the kitchen which was a great place to enjoy the birds, wild turkeys and 3 cats that roamed around. You may want to get groceries before arriving since it is a long way from any stores. There was coffee, powdered creamer and salt and pepper. No other condiments or cooking sprays, oils, or spices.
