About this property

Black Hills Bungalow: Great Place To Stay While Exploring The Black Hills.

Black Hills Bungalow (aka. The Bungalow)

NOTE: For our guests who need to mix computer work with vacation pleasure - The Bungalow's WiFi is supported by a fiber-optics system from Centurylink. At a rated speed of 86 Mbps, CenturLink offers a high-speed, reliable internet connection.

Private, quiet and chocked full of diversity!! Enjoy all types of bird and wildlife viewing, including turkey, deer and elk. The Bungalow offers a magnificent location for the outdoor enthusiast, yet, centrally located for easy access to all Black Hills attractions. Rapid City is 30 miles, Deadwood is 15 miles and Sturgis is 25 miles. Essentially all attractions are located within a one-hour drive. Located on 54-privately-owned acres, the Bungalow also offers access to the Black Hills National Forest ….. a one-million-acre, public "playground" for your outdoor enjoyment!

Explore the diversity of the Black Hills! Summertime fun includes all types of recreational activities ….. mountain biking via the 111-mile Centennial Trail (eight miles from the Bungalow), “easy” bicycling / hiking via the 109-mile Mickelson Trail (nine miles from the Bungalow), four-wheeling via the extensive Black Hills ATV / UTV road system and, of course, hiking, camping and fishing. The Black Hills has an extensive lake and stream system, for leisure activities and the fishing enthusiast. Further, Reausaw Lake is only a short walk away. This small lake is owned by the South Dakota Game & Fish Department and stocked with trout for excellent catching success, especially for the young angler. Or, if you enjoy fly fishing, you can access our private pond, stocked with Rainbow, Tiger, Brown and Snake River Cutthroat trout (some restrictions apply).

AND, the owners of the Bungalow, Doug & Denise Miller, are readily available to make your stay completely enjoyable. The Millers believe in customer service and will give you individual and immediate attention. Try getting that degree of personal attention from a property management firm!

The Millers are looking forward to your stay!

PS. And, how do past guests think the Millers have taken care of them? The Bungalow has NUMEROUS positive reviews. Further, the ultimate in customer satisfaction is the number of repeat guests. During 2023 and 2024, the Bungalow was rented a total of 103 nights and 109 nights, respectively. Further, for 2023 and 2024, 49 nights and 54 nights, respectively, were booked by past guests. To summarize....for 2023, 47.6% of reservations were by returning guests and for 2024, 49.5% of reservations were by returning guests. Thus, the Millers are indeed serious about customer satisfaction!!

The Bungalow is located in a building, which was built in 2004. This apartment (aka. the Bungalow) was used by us, for three years, during the construction of our home. The 600-square-foot Bungalow has a private entrance and consists of one, large room, with a separate, full bathroom. The large room consists of: 1) a bedroom with a king, Tempurpedic-brand mattress, 2) a fully, furnished kitchen, which includes a full-sized refrigerator, smooth-topped stove and microwave, (Note: Does not include a dishwasher, washer or dryer), 3) a 50” HDTV with satellite TV, a surround-sound system and a DVD player, with lots of DVDs and 4) other apartment amenities. The Bungalow is well stocked, for your convenience, which will make your stay, truly, your “home-away-from-home.” Also included is a Weber propane grill, picnic table, a horseshoe pit, a fire pit and other outdoor-activity opportunities. NOTE: A) The Bungalow is located in a detached building, about 70’ from our home. Although we will be in close proximity to each other, rest assured you will receive the highest-level of consideration, when it comes to your privacy and the quietness of your surroundings. B) From Nemo Road, access to the Bungalow is via ¼-mile of well-maintained, gravel road. C) If you plan on “trailing” ATVs, UTVs or a motorcycle to the Black Hills, rest assured our property has plenty of space for trailer parking.

Great getaway
This property and the hosts were exceptional in every aspect. The property was very clean and well taken care of. Everything that you might need is in the house/kitchen and the use of the park pass was special. The hosts made sure to make contact with us when we arrived and then didn’t bother us the rest of our stay. They made sure that we knew if we needed anything to reach out but otherwise they wanted us to have our space. The check out process was very simple and easy to accomplish. We will definitely make this property a priority if we return to the Black Hills.

Quiet, very close to any major roads. Ideal for just 2 people.
Very clean. Stocked with all your kitchen equipment. Easy access to activities including in town and ATV trails. Just beautiful area. Saw elk and lots of deer if you like to fish there’s lots of little ponds. But my husband said the BEST were those homemade cookies to welcome us. 💞 A big thank you Doug and Denise for sharing your beautiful paradise. Most Sincerely Jeff & Diania

A-H-H-MAZING.... A+++
Doug & Denise Miller were so sweet and caring. They was quick to help with anything. The Bungalow was perfect. Super clean, plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans. They even had coffee and welcome treats laid out for us to find. The bed was a higher quality mattress, I would say it was or is comparable to a Tempur-Pedic. The location was away from the hustle, we enjoyed the short ride to Deadwood, Lead and Sturgis. We will diffently be back. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your Bungalow.

A wonderful relaxing place to stay!
First of all, Doug and Denise are absolutely amazing people! Secondly, the property is so peaceful and serene!! Thirdly, the Bungalow has EVERYTHING we wanted and needed! They stock the Bungalow with everything you can imagine. And Denise told us if we needed anything she would go and get it for us. It was literally home away from home all the way down to the comfortable Tempur-pedic king size bed. I would have loved to have spent more time talking with Doug and Denise. A memorable time for sure!!!

Perfect hosts!
I left a note in their journal, but didn’t leave a proper thank you for the surprise. So let me start by saying thank you so much for the freshly baked cookies waiting for us! Such a thoughtful way to welcome guests. The bungalow was perfect for our vacation week. The only thing I would change is planning more time to visit with the hosts. We highly recommend staying with Doug and Denise if you’re in the area!

Wonderfully Relaxing!
The Bungalow is situated on a peaceful spot in the Black Hills NF. It’s a beautiful property lovingly cared-for by the Millers (Denise & Doug). This place is a gem and they’ve thought of every detail to make guests feel at home. The living and dining areas (and bathroom) were immaculate and very comfortable. The bathroom has a great sit-down shower with plenty of water pressure and hot water. The kitchen contains anything a cook could need. The Weber gas grill was nearby and amazingly clean. (Doug could give me lessons on how to clean mine!) The 6000’ elevation along with a cool evening breeze gave me a great night’s sleep. Or maybe it was the gentle sound of the creek running nearby? (Did I mention the King size bed?) While the kid in me resisted the temptation to test out the swing set or the tunnel slides on the property, I did go for a nice quiet walk on the abandoned rail grade just up the hill. The nearby trout pond was a pretty nice feature as well. Denise offered me some of her fresh asparagus (a delicacy to me) straight out of her garden. And the cookies she left in the kitchen disappeared quickly. Doug offered me a parking spot inside his shop when there was a chance of hail in the overnight forecast. Such caring and gracious hosts! I hope that I can visit again! The level of relaxation I experienced at the Bungalow is something to be treasured! Thanks Denise & Doug! Mark

Gorgeous property, great location!
We loved our stay! The Bungalow is awesome! We had everything we needed and more. Doug and Denise are very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. Property is wonderful for taking a stroll or hiking further into the national forest. We saw many deer, listened to coyotes, and saw a herd of elk just down the road from the property. We had the motorcycle so it was easy access to all of the great riding, parks/attractions and cool towns. Branding Iron down the road has great food, and only 20 minutes to Deadwood. We will definitely be back!

Loved the Bungalow
Loved staying at the Bungalow! It’s a perfect get away! We enjoyed how close the Black Hills trails are to the Bungalow. We were able to ride our SxS and not worry about leaving our vehicle parked while we were gone. The Bungalow is immaculate and cozy! We loved the privacy of the setting. Doug and Denise are wonderful hosts. The home baked cookies were a thoughtful and delicious touch!

Black Hills Vacation
Words cannot describe how great our vacation was. The bungalow was perfect for our needs and Doug and Denise were the perfect hosts! They have everything and more that you could possibly need during your stay.We truly enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of their property, taking walks and fishing at the pond were Perfect ways to start and end our days. We loved the location!! We were right in the middle of everything we wanted to do… Mount Rushmore, Crazyhorse, Custer state park, hiking, and beautiful gravel and blacktop roads to take our motorcycles out on. We had so much fun visiting all of the surrounding little towns of the Black Hills. This was the perfect vacation with the perfect house and the perfect hosts. It was such a pleasure getting to know them! And I can’t forget to mention the delicious cookies that Denise provided upon arrival! If and when we get back to the Black Hills we will definitely stay at their bungalow again!! Chris and Wade. Brighton, IL

Wonderful Bungalow and Hosts
Doug & Denise are so friendly and took good care of us during our stay. Beautiful property, beautiful area of the Hills and so relaxing. The Bungalow was well stocked that I really didn’t need to bring a thing except I forgot vinegar and Denise had some and also shared a few of her garden onions. Bed was comfortable, antique furniture beautiful, has a headset to use to watch tv if wife is sleeping or tired of listening to Westerns. 😁 Doug offered a spot in his garage when a storm rolled through and we really appreciated it. We brought our Rzr for trail riding. Found lots of trails and mud in the area. Will definitely be the place to call home next time we’re back. Thanks for everything Doug & Denise.
