About this property

Serene country setting with views of the Black Hills.

If seclusion and serenity are what you are looking for, this is the place for you! Newly renovated for 2024, Argyle Acres is a 500 sq. ft. cabin sitting on 15 private acres. The property offers stunning views of the Black Hills, just 19 miles south of Custer.

The property is suitable for a family adventure, couples' retreat or a friends weekend. This smoke free cabin has 2 bedrooms, and 1 bath with living room and kitchen. One bedroom has a queen size bed, and the other has two twin beds. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to easily prepare a meal. A full size propane grill sits just outside. All linens and towels are provided, as well as complimentary toiletries. We do not charge a cleaning fee.

The cabin is equipped with a keyless entry making your arrival and departure seamless. Fiber optic high speed internet allows you to stay connected and upload all of your vacation pictures. The 40 inch smart tv allows you to stream your favorite platforms. We offer Disney+ and FUBO.

Our personal home sits on the property. We will not intrude on your privacy, but will be available for any questions or concerns. We have many recommendations on places to eat, shop and explore.

After a long day of adventure, return to enjoy an evening listening to song birds, watching for wildlife, and taking in the beautiful Black Hills. As day turns to night, star gazing is made easy without the interference of artificial lights. If you are looking for more adventure, access to the Black Hills National Forest trails, and The Mickelson Trail are both located within a mile of the property.

Feel free to bring your side by sides or motorcycles. We have plenty of additional space for trailers. We also have a 50 amp full hook up RV site available. We do not rent the RV space on a regular basis. It is reserved for friends and family meeting up or traveling together.

Departing Argyle Acres in any direction leads to amazing Black Hills adventures. We are centrally located between Custer State Park, (the Nation's second largest state park,) Wind Cave National Park, and Jewel Cave National Monument. These locations are among the most popular attractions in the Black Hills. Hot Springs to the south offers the Mammoth Site, (an active archeological dig,) and Moccasin Springs, (a natural mineral spring and spa.) Traveling north you will find Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore Memorial. If day trips are of interest to you, Badlands National Park to the East, and Devils Tower National Monument to the West are well worth the trip.

We were pleased with our accommodations. The cabin was clean, cozy and charming. The host communicated well and let me know pertinent info. The cabin is small but it was all my husband and I needed. Would definitely book this cabin again if we were ever in the area.

Wonderful, peaceful home with a fabulous view!

Everything is advertised accurately. Very clean, comfortable, cozy and the owners are very thoughtful (sweet welcome card, available if you have questions, family games to available play, smart tv, etc). The outside seating area is great. The central location was great for all the sites we saw. I highly recommend!!

Perfect Plains Oasis!

We came up to relax & explore the Black Hills, Jewel Cave & Mt Rushmore without camping. This modern home feels like leaps up from clamping without the crowds of town and hotels. It was perfect! After a day exploring, we could come back and play games, make s’mores, cook our own meals (food allergies here) & sleep with fresh air coming in the windows in cozy beds. Debbie & Doug were perfect hosts. She replied so fast to questions I had when preparing, helped with some suggestions (like making sure to have a reservation at Jewel Cave & spending enough time in Custer state park). It truly was exactly what we were looking for on this summer breakaway! Plan to tuck suitcases away or lay flat & open under the bed as there aren’t closets but the space was perfect for our family of 3. Be sure to make time to try The Custer Wolf if you also have food allergies (or even if not). The service & food were 5* too! Thank you for such a wonderful place!

Black Hills Beauty!

Argyle Acres was the perfect home base for exploring all of the National & State parks nearby. It was immaculately clean, comfortable, & had everything you might need. I even met the host when we were both outside taking photos of the beautiful sunset one evening. We definitely recommend this adorable cottage!

Perfect Black Hills Family Vacation

Our stay at Argyle Acres was amazing! We are a family of 4 (the two of us and our two kiddos ages 5, and 9), and the space was great! From the beginning, Debbie and Doug were amazing to work with! They are very kind and responsive hosts, who truly care about your stay and comfort. Everything was so clean and inviting from the moment we pulled in and stepped inside! The welcome card was very thoughtful, as well as the S'mores Station supplies. Everything was very organized and easy to use/find. When we did need help, both Debbie and Doug were very prompt and accommodating. Our son LOVED the soft rug, and our daughter loved the serenity and peace of being in nature. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable, and the towels were SO FLUFFY! Our kids loved the extra throw blankets, and the campfire blankets provided, as well. We had everything we needed to make simple meals during our stay, and were thankful for all the fresh supplies (the new dish sponge, paper towels, etc) to help keep things clean. We all enjoyed bonding over the board games that were available, during the small windows of downtime we had between our adventures. I will never get over how beautiful the sunset and sunrise are over the landscape, there. It was truly an unforgettable stay, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for serenity while being in a perfect location to get to many of the amazing sites to see in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Great Little Place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Argyle Acres. The house was the perfect size for our family of four. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cookie sheets, and cooking utensils. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. It was a great location - driving distance to all of the sights, and then come home away from the hustle and bustle for dinner and relaxing in the evening. We had fun cooking s'mores in the fire pit area. It was a great stay; one of the nicest VRBOs we've stayed in!

The cabin was the perfect location to all the sites we wanted to see, Black Hills, Custer State Park, National Parks, and Mt Rushmore. Check-in was very easy and the cabin was extremely clean. We had a question about the gas grill while we were there and the hosts were super responsive. We loved our stay!

The property was very clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked with amenities for our family of four. We enjoyed sitting around the fire a few nights in the chilly evenings. The property is not too far off the main road and the views are spectacular. The owners thoughtfully put together a book with the closest places to go for groceries, gas, restaurants, etc. There are so many things to do in the area, some taking 30 minutes to get to while others may take an hour or two, but again the drive to get to places and the views are just spectacular. We enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend this property to someone traveling to the area.

Vacation in the Black Hills

The location was quiet and peaceful. We loved seeing the baby bunnies living under the front porch. Having the gas grill available was great to be able to cook at home. The unit was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The only think we we ask for is an ottoman to put feet up while relaxing in the living room. We would definitely stay there again

If I could give 10 stars I would! From the moment we booked to the end of our vacation the host was friendly and informative.The property was very clean, decorated super cute, and the extra attention to detail made our stay that much more enjoyable. The property is in a quiet beautiful location but also close (within an hour or less) to most of the tourist attractions making this a perfect place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Doug

Host profile image
Hello, we are Debbie and Doug Moore from O-H-I-O. In December of 2016 we made the choice to begin the enormous task of downsizing in preparation for living a full time RV life style and traveling the country. In 2017 we hit the road! We were able to experience the most amazing adventures. During 2020 and all of the unknowns that came with it, we decided we should come off the road. We knew in our hearts that South Dakota was the place for us. The Black Hills offers everything we were looking for. A quiet simple life full of the great outdoors!

Now that we have settled into life as South Dakotans, we enjoy our new favorite activity of hitting the trails in our side by side. We get to see the Black Hills in a totally new and different way. We also have taken on jobs in the tourist industry and love meeting people from all over the world.

We cherish our life together, and embrace all that is new and awe inspiring. Life is a journey with one adventure after another. We are excited to share our home with you and all that is South Dakota!

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to the peace and quite of the property. We love the wide open space and the views of the Black Hills. Our favorite activities are sitting out on the deck siping on a beverage looking for wildlife, watching beautiful sunsets and star gazing. On occasion we can watch a mesmerizing storm pass over the Black Hills. Each day is beautiful and different in its own special way.

What makes this property unique

The country setting and beautiful views bring a sense of calm to reset and recharge. The wide open space allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the day. Depending on the time of year you may see the property filled with wild flowers. Deer often visit the property, and in the fall you may see elk. Rabbits are often found playing around the cabin. The sunrises, sunsets, and star gazing are a bonus each day.
