Friends Reunion

There were five couples who have known each other for over 40 years. There home and property were perfect for us. Karla greeted us and showed us around and was available if we had any questions. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of outdoor seating. We fell in love with her cat, Twitch, who showed up every morning and evening (outdoor cat). There are deer and other wildlife on property, which we loved seeing. We would rent from the Becklers again

Gorgeous and relaxing retreat

The home and property are absolutely gorgeous, everything was completely as described. We had 5 couples and one single guy and had plenty of room for everyone. We primarily picked the home due to its location, it is centrally located for all the motorcycle rides that you want to do in and around the black hills area. We are already planning our next trip to the black hills (may not be next year) but this will be our first choice for our group.

Beautiful Black Hills Property

I can’t say enough about this location, it was beautiful and more than enough room for our family of 10. Karla the host was very responsive when we were in communication. We loved the 20 mile ride up through the hills and the road straight to the home, gave us our outdoor experience that we do t get to experience back home. We dod come in late July so the weather was a little warm which we are used to but not so much without central air. The provided fans did help though. Centrally located to do all of the touristy things! I’ve had so many family and friends reaching out for the information for future bookings. Our family would definitely recommend this home to anyone planning a trip to South Dakota.

Escape from the hustle and bustle

This property, home, and owners is epic! The pictures do not do the location and views any justice. Wildlife every morning, secluded from anything but God's country. No highway sounds or neighbors prying. Just serenity. Karla and Chuck were wonderful hosts. Lots and lots of room inside to create your own little hubs of entertainment. Whether on one of the 3 porches, or various, spacious inside entertainment areas. It also helped to be the most well stocked and largest kitchen we've every stayed at - creating some amazing large meals. Fantastic Time! For those looking to explore the Black Hills - this is an easy starting out point to get to all corners of the park, easily accessible right from the front door to all of the best trails!

Slice of Heaven

I booked this property for our family get away with my 3 adult kids, spouses and 4 grandchildren. It was perfect for our group. Kids loved the outdoor play area and all the open spaces outside. Adults LOVED the privacy of their own rooms. The beautiful front and side porch was our favorite meeting space after seeing the sights of the day. So much to do within a short drive made this an ideal location for being able to do all the things and be back for a family dinner every night! It was a true blessing to be able to share this space. Thank you Karla for a wonderful week.

Wonderful family stay

We visited with a large family group. There was plenty of room for everyone, a very well stocked kitchen and lots to do in the area. Karla was a responsive host who also respected our privacy. The camp fire pit was a big hit with our group and we loved seeing deer and turkey on the property.

Anniversary celebration

Walked to the top of the Crazy Horse monument for our 50th. Took in all of the sites from a very nice central location. The house had plenty of space for all 8 of us and great privacy too. The hosts were great. House had a well equipped kitchen and we used it often. If you need a big place, don’t hesitate!!

Very lovely

Our group of 9 were very comfortable with our stay. Enjoyed the privateness of the property. We were on motorcycles and were glad to be able to have a garage. The compacted gravel road up to house was a little concern but we had experienced riders in our group.

Comforts of home in a beautiful, secluded spot

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious, cozy home. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 and it was extremely well equipped. The house is full of love and memories, and the secluded property is gorgeous. There is plenty of quiet space, yet it is close to many of South Dakota's parks and attractions. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We would gladly stay here again!

50th anniversary ❤️

This is a wonderful place. We so enjoyed our time there. Easy access to everything in the black hills. Our time at the house was relaxing. Kids put on a show on the stage downstairs , played in the play house, and had ample room to play on the yard. Love the deck so we're out every am and pm. Karla is a wonderful host. Can't say enough on how nice this vrbo is. Would highly recommend this place.

Family Vacation

This is a beautiful home and location. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of space for all of us. I loved the wrap around porch and the near by trails to walk or ride. We had a great time. Lots of space for the kids to play. The people who own the property are very kind. It was quite hot out during our stay so the group missed having air conditioning. The basement cooled off well at night but the upstairs bedrooms remained quite warm. Beautiful place!
