About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

My whole family absolutely loved this property for the beauty of the land, the tranquility and the endless trails to explore. The property was well-furnished to accommodate any type of cooking or baking, which made it a perfect birthday experience. Thank you, Sharp family!

Best stay ever in Black Hills
My wife and I and daughter stayed. At the property period it was one of the nicest VR BO properties we have ever stayed at. I would highly recommend period the view was spectacular. The home was immaculate and our host was excellent. Do not overlook this place when you are looking for a stay in the black hills.

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!

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.

Wonderful family retreat
We loved the peaceful atmosphere in this beautiful home. Really enjoyed the kitchen plus real fireplace. Great family game area. Treat to see the animals on property. Thank you to Dave for being so responsive and proactive after snow storm. Was so nice to be so close to Custer State Park. Was such an accommodating retreat for our family’s first experience in SD.

Yak Ranch - Dads and Lads
My best friends and I do a guys weekend every year with our dads. This was the perfect place to get away. Minutes from downtown Custer and central to any activity you can think up in the Black Hills. The property is tucked away in a valley giving you stunning views of nature in your own private sanctuary. The house is huge with plenty of amenities, games provided for the perfect hangout. We will definitely be coming back.

Amazing view from the wrap around porch. Super clean house with all the necessities you need. The property manager was so quick with responses. The property manager was also kind enough to alert of us of the possibility of bad weather, one evening. Very thoughtful.

A magical piece of paradise
We couldn’t have had a better experience. We are nature lovers who live in the city and the ability to step back and relax on this tranquil piece of paradise was so refreshing. The house was well stocked, very clean, all needs were met, the rooms are spacious, and the porch was the best coffee sipping porch around. The horses greet you in the mornings and the Yaks are adorable. The location was ideal for so many great adventures. I wish we had more time:)

Beautiful, peaceful setting with quick access to the OHV trails.
We had an amazing trip at this beautiful yak farm. We had 8 adults(4 couples) and had more than enough space in this new home. Everyone loved getting to view the Yaks and the gorgeous views from the extra large deck. The home has everything you need plus a pool table, dart board, bags, access to OHV trails, etc…. If you like to cook the kitchen is a dream! If we travel here again this would our first choice. We also loved the easy access to the OHV trails. So much fun!

Beautiful quiet home!
Our family of 7 enjoyed our vacation at this beautiful property! There isn’t another house on this property just deer, chickens, and horses! The home was well stocked with items needed! They have thought of everything, darts, pool table, even a swing that our girls had hours of fun! The home was very clean. The beds were very comfortable! It’s location is centrally located to different sight seeing places! We highly recommend you spend your next family vacation here.

A memory that I will cherish…
Seriously - nothing is left undone in this property - the place is amazing all the way down to the details - even the toilet paper was perfect. But yaks oh my. And the owner bringing me yak meat so I could barbecue yak and eat yak while looking at a yak - and I didn’t yak the yak because it was delicious. My kids wanted to stay there - the property is full of things to do - and the fireplace s’mores were a huge hit. We are big travelers and I say this without hesitation - stay here and you will create a lifelong memory!

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!

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.

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!
