We are a couple in our sixties and we live on the main level. One bedroom with two sets of queen-over-queen bunk beds. Full gourmet kitchen with granite countertop, 60" HD TV, DVD, cable, WiFi, log pool table, huge luxury bath with jetted tub, separate shower & private commode, propane barbecue grill & outdoor dining, hot tub just steps away, trout pond (catch & release is free - a small fee applies for keeping fish), parking right outside your door. ATV rentals nearby (free trail maps available); direct access to Forest Service trails. Brand new washer & dryer added November 2022! A double Caribbean hammock hung between two trees is the ideal spot to take a nap while communing with nature! Wildlife abounds in this area! You will see deer, wild turkey, bald eagles, elk and much more. The coyotes will serenade you from a distance every evening. We have several bird feeders and bird houses on the property. Mountain blue birds are everywhere and will amaze you with their beautiful song and their brilliant blue color! In August of 1874 General George Armstrong Custer camped in this valley. You will be experiencing history! The book describing Custer's expedition is provided for your enjoyment. History buffs will love it! With National Forest on three sides, this is also a great place for hiking and ATV-ing. Direct access to Kelly Spur Road which connects with over 3500 miles of ATV trails. Towels and sheets are provided. We provide coffee, tea, flour, sugar and basic spices. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of dishes, silverware, glassware, pots, pans, utensils, crockpot, dish soap, napkins & paper towels. The all-new stainless steel appliances include refrigerator with ice-maker, five burner stove, oven, microwave & dishwasher. Granite countertops in kitchen and beautiful cast concrete in the bath. Plenty of thick, fluffy towels are provided, as well as soaps, and a hairdryer. Beach towels are provided for the hot tub. Our world class trout pond is filled with huge rainbow trout. Make sure to check out the photos! We provide fishing poles, or you are welcome to bring your own. There is a fire pit down by the pond, as well as a charcoal grill and picnic tables. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of sight-seeing in the beautiful Black Hills!

Great property and home!
Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property - the amenities (pool table, pond/fishing, and firepit), location and cleanliness. It was always a sanctuary to retreat to after busy days of seeing the sights around the Black Hills. We will definitely stay again on future visits.

Excellent place to stay with family
This was a great place to stay with a family of all ages. The place was as nice as it looked online, the pond was super fun for my young kids, and the hosts’ hospitality was truly great! They cooked up the fish my son caught and made treats for my kids which was above and beyond. Highly recommended place for a family with kids.

Majestic
Three of us from Pennsylvania stayed here for 1 week. We had an absolutely perfect stay from the moment we arrived! Margaret and Dorito are very special people who are committed to making sure their guests come first! Unfortunately, we were away traveling and exploring the epic scenery from sunrise to late at night and have hoped to have spend more time with them. None of want to wish our lives away but when that time comes, I hope it is like staying here! Thank you again hope to see you soon!

This property was much better than expected. The listing pictures were on-point and the accommodations were comfortable and spotless. The pool table was great, and the fishing pond was outstanding.
