Secluded Setting On French Creek In The Southern Black Hills

Secluded and comfortable three bedroom home located on the famous French Creek known as the "Jewel of the Black Hills". The house is vintage 1970's architecture and filled with character. There is an outdoor shower, as well as an outdoor cooktop and grill and a firepit. French Creek runs along the length of the property - on sunny days there are two large turtles that love to sunbathe on the tree over the creek. Deer and wild turkeys are often grazing in the yard. The five acre property shares a boundary with the Black Hills National Forest. Custer State Park and Blue Bell Lodge are a five minute drive away. The City of Custer is only a ten minute drive (eight miles) and offers unique shopping and dining. The house is conveniently located within 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave National Park, Sylvan Lake, Jewel Cave, Black Elk Peak, Needles Highway, the Mickelson Trail and all the sites, activities and beautiful scenery the Hills have to offer. Fish for trout in French Creek without leaving the property, or head out for a hike in any direction. Children welcome, no smoking, no pets.

The pictures do not do this home justice. Full living and dinning room with full stone wall and thru fireplace, absolutly wonderful. Game room was perfect for card games after a day of hiking. This is the cleanest home we have rented and we rent remote locations a couple times a year. The only dirt in the house was what we drug in! The weather was colder and rainy so we did not get to enjoy the awesome outdoor setup but top of the line for sure. More amenities than a family of 4 could use and a perfect welcome basket. The hosts responded to the couple of questions we had within minutes. We typically do not go to the same location twice but if we are ever in the Blackhills again we would book here first.

Peaceful Serenity

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The owners, Todd and Michelle were quick to respond to any text. The house was spotless and very comfortable. We never took advantage of having the grill and outside patio, but it looked very inviting!! We walked down by the stream and also enjoyed watching the deer in the yard in the mornings and evenings. It was such a calm, peaceful setting and was so welcoming when we returned after each day’s adventure!

Quiet Mid-Century Hideaway

This location was perfect for a girlfriend trip. Plenty of space, great fire area, close to Custer and had a stream in the backyard. The owners stopped by to ensure everything was correct at check-in, and let us know they lived right up the street if we needed anything. Perfect trip

Sturgis Rally

This is a beautiful property, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was secluded which was great, well stocked kitchen and we loved cooking on the outdoor grill. If you’re on a motorcycle be aware that it’s 3 miles of gravel road to the house but it’s been treated, the dust was low and we didn’t have any issues. The location was perfect to go see all the sites! Lots of great restaurants in Custer too. Todd was great to talk with, sorry we didn’t get to meet Michelle. Wonderful experience, we’ll definitely be back.

The four of us enjoyed the quiet setting by the creek (inhabited by two snapping turtles), eating outside on the patio, and playing cards in the game room beside the stone fireplace. We had a great time using it as our home base.

This home is in a perfect location that is close to Custer State Park. House was spotless including a well stocked kitchen. The beds are very comfortable. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise. We even saw the resident turtle down by the creek. There was a lot of good information about local hiking, restaurants and other family activities. We highly recommend this home. The hosts are wonderful and have a lot of knowledge of the area.

All the comforts of home in a beautiful setting!

What a beautiful home! Clean and stocked with more goodies than you could imagine. Todd and Michelle were the perfect hosts & hostesses! Todd gave us ideas on sites to see and even offered to take us around. The house was clean and full of goodies for a wonderful welcome! Our trip was to see Mt. Rushmore and take advantage of the more than 50 hiking trails available. We purchased some travel guides but found Michelle had stocked the house with information at your fingertips. What a wonderful vacation! I hope to come back again someday soon!! I would recommend this beautiful home to anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills Country.

Relaxation at its BEST!

We’ve stayed at various homes from both VRBO and AirBB. We’ve noticed that you can make anything look good with the right photos. This place is LEGIT. A wonderful and CLEAN home, located on a beautiful property, with the peace and serenity of the Black Hills and French Creek surrounding you and only minutes from the town of Custer and Custer State Park. From the welcome basket on the counter (and in the fridge!) to a living room with large windows overlooking the property (and wildlife passing through) to a wonderful back patio where you hear the current of the creek and the smell of Ponderosa Pine, this place is the REAL DEAL. I kinda hate telling everyone this as it’ll likely never have availability again when I want it! WELL DONE Michelle and Todd…THIS place is a winner!

Perfect Holiday Weekend

Myself and 4 friends spent Thanksgiving in Custer and could not have picked a better spot. The house was so lovely and perfectly maintained. It was close to the state park and to the town of Custer. We saw lots of wildlife and the house was exactly what we wanted to come home to after a cold day out. The hosts were so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We sure hope we will be back!
