About this property

Northern Black Hills Escape

Our beautiful home is located just 4 miles south of historic Deadwood in the quiet and less touristy northern Black Hills. It is situated on 4 wooded acres with a stunning view as can be seen in the pictures. From the deck on a clear day you can see the highest peak in the Hills (Black Elk Peak) 30+ miles distant. Though close to town it feels very isolated with nary a single man-made light visible to the front. Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Woodpeckers, Squirrels and Chipmunks are constant visitors and most days deer and turkey will stop by to visit. If you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind and enjoy nature it’s the perfect place for you.

The comfortably furnished and nicely detailed space includes 2 wood burning stoves/fireplaces, hardwood/ slate floors and lots and lots of windows which can make you feel as though you're in a tree house. The home also features a mix of eclectic artwork and décor from time spent living and working overseas. Sliding doors off the great room and french doors off the master bedroom offer easy access to the extra-large multi-level outdoor deck with hot tub. Relaxing in the hot tub under the impressive night skies is an unforgettable way to unwind after a great day hiking in the Hills, visiting Mount Rushmore or the world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or testing your luck in the Deadwood casinos.

The house has two independently accesible levels that do not connect via internal stairs. The upper level is the principal residence with a great room, a very spacious master bedroom, a mini-loft with a sleeping area and a full kitchen and laundry. The lower level originally was a garage and was redone into a very nice open living space with a king bed, 2 barnwood futons, a full bath and a microwave and fridge.

To preserve the tranquility of the setting and the neighborhood, the home will only be rented to folks interested in a low-key quiet getaway.

Additionally, I’m required by the covenants of my HOA to only rent to groups of 1 or more persons related to the other by blood, marriage, legal adoption or otherwise long-term committed relationship. So, given that restriction and as this is our home, we need to know a bit about who will be staying and for what purpose. Please provide these details in any request to rent. Thanks for considering our home for your visit.

Please note that we do not offer the monthly discount during the summer months of Jun-Aug.

Super peaceful and serene Northern Hills getaway
The hosts were so welcoming and the property is beautiful with views of Custer Peak. The location is convenient enough but also isolated. We love every minute of our stay. Thank you so much!

Great place
It is a very nice place that is quiet and still very close to a highway and close to Lead and Deadwood , We took our adult family and pet it is nice to have a pet friendly house as well . Communication was done by texting for us and they were very good to work with even though we did not have any issues or extra correspondence, other than checking in and out would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone

This was our first experience with VRBO and to say Tom and Celeste exceeded our expectations would be an understatement! Their home was just as described only better! Their customer service and response time on things was amazing and you can tell they care about the experience their guests have! Our family makes this trip yearly and we will be booking with them every time! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Loved our Stay!
Tom's home had everything we wanted in a Black Hills place to stay: surrounded by pine trees, serene, spacious, clean, and comfortable. We looked forward to relaxing there after each day of exploring. We loved watching the birds, the wildlife, the stars, and the storms in the distance. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfasts and dinners. Tom was top-notch in communication! We chose the perfect place to stay!

A perfect escape
We absolutely loved this gorgeous cabin in the hills. It is completely private- you truly feel like you're away from it all! It is beautifully updated and decorated with all of the amenities at home. In fact, it is even BETTER than the photos! Tom is a fantastic and caring host who goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect. Our two kids age 5 and 8 who stayed in the downstairs apartment. We used a baby monitor in case they needed us in the night, as the only way to enter/exit is to go outside and use the deck stairs. The kids loved having their own space! Rather than going out to eat we grilled on the deck every night and enjoyed the amazing views, the stars, and of course the hot tub- which is hot and perfect after a long day. We all slept like babies in the comfy beds. We can't wait to stay here again. Thanks Tom!

Great Black Hills Getaway!
The Cabin is in a great location, isolated but close to a main road. Tom is fantastic and a great communicator in making sure you feel like it is your home away from home. The three separate deck spaces provided plenty of views for the different parts of the days. Will stay here again.

Still experiencing residual happiness and relaxation. A+++ Rental
Our family had an amazing experience at this property. The purpose of the vacation was to reunite after the long lockdown and to celebrate the 50 year Anniversary of our Parents. It was a very special time to be together again and to be in such an epic location! Tom was so kind and helpful during our stay, and was always available for any questions through text or calls. At our arrival a gift of cheese, wine and fruit were there to welcome us ! It was a very thoughtful gesture and appreciated. Our party of five consisted of a retirement aged couple, a middle aged couple and a teenager. The master bedroom was perfect for the older members of the group as it offered privacy and access with an amazing view. There were plenty of accessible amenities for our Matriarch who has limited mobility, and her experience was positive and healing as she was able to take part in 90 % of what this property has to offer. A yoga step was purchased at the beginning of our stay to ease access to the step in the garage. She especially enjoyed the ability to eat family style meals and took advantage of the porch off of the great room while playing old hymns on a keyboard outside. Very special! There were no complaints or concerns from the Patriarch regarding the location or quality of the time spent at this property. He and his Grandson were able to spend time together cooking and learning the ins and outs of photography while utilizing the scenery and wildlife so ubundant as their subjects. He was impressed with the uniqueness of the home and the premium materials used within. He enjoyed the hotub daily and slept well during his stay. Our teenager very much enjoyed the space and thought the cabin was quite relaxing. As a photographer, he captured birds that seemed to not be worried in the slightest of their human counterparts. Spending time being with his Grandparents was irreplaceable. The Middle aged couple had the basement abode and were able to be close without cloistering, be musical without disturbing, and found the space to be just what was needed to unwind creatively. In summary, our experiences were personal and healing. The subtle energies of the area coupled with the attention to detail and art throughout the home made our stay very memorable. It is obvious that mindfulness made this escape one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We hope to visit again and please know that each person was affected positively by their stay. So wonderful

Labor Day Get away
This property is set back in the wood and all it has to offer. When came in at night and woke up to a beautiful sight off the deck in the morning. Tom was a gracious host and was more than accommodating when opening up his home. We would hope to stay there again in the future and spend more time just enjoying the surroundings.

Beautiful house and property! Tom is awesome to work with! Even had a care package waiting for us! Only problem was there was NO air conditioning…I don’t think this is usually a problem, but it was hotter than normal. Also, the basement sleeping quarters could have been cleaner! Overall a wonderful experience!!!

Where do I start?!
This home is simply amazing, inside and out!! We stayed here for a week and can't wait to go back! What was supposed to be a family vacation with 8 people turned into just my husband and I and our dog. And I am so happy we didnt cancel the whole trip. The house works great for any size group. The wild life is constant, from song birds to chipmunks to the deer. Sitting in the hot tub while bird watching was so peaceful and relaxing. The location couldnt be better! We weren't more than an hour away from anything we wanted to do...towns, attractions, hiking, fishing. We parked the truck and rode our side by side the entire week. We did not bring our motorcycle this time but definitely wish we did and will next time! Kitchen is great if you prefer to cook or Deadwood is a short 10 minute drive with all kinds of options. Tom was also great to work with, communication was always fast and clear. 10/10 recommend anyone and everyone stay here!

A little piece of heaven
What a fantastic property! We were warmly greeted virtually by Tom who left us a lovely little welcome gift for use on arrival and a detailed list of instructions guiding us through all the uses of the home. The property itself was beautiful! Wonderful views, cozy and comfy spaces - 2 fireplaces; both easy to use and enjoy. The deck and views - bountiful mountains and night sky! Saw satellites and meteors every night! Super clean hot tub! Wonderfully detached but close to all that the Black Hills have to offer as well as multiple nearby little towns for exploring. Most appreciated was being able to bring our pup along. She fell right into the mountain time routine (ie. laying around). Thanks Tom for sharing your home and a wonderful stay!

Great Christmas Get Away !!!
It was AMAZING!!! The location is close to everything you would want to see in the area, we spent 6 days and had a fantastic time! The home was very comfortable and Tom is the best host! We appreciated the lovely welcome gift! We had so many of natures visitors greeting us every morning and evening. It was also fantastic that we could bring our dog with us, there is a dog run and doggie door off the mud room that makes it easier to go off to enjoy your day and know your dog is comfortable and able to go in and out. Verizon cell service works perfectly here and able to use my mobile hot spot for other devices. The great room is large and comfortable but the master bedroom and bath was my favorite room of the whole house! The decks provide excellent views to enjoy your coffee or wine! I highly recommend this property and definitely will be coming back!!!

Perfect Cabin for South Dakota Sight Seeing
We had a group of 9 adults staying on our trip and it was the perfect cabin for us. It was secluded enough to feel like you weren't bothering anyone, but it was also a quick drive to gas stations, restaurants or other activities. There was plenty of sleeping space for everyone and the deck was a perfect gathering spot to eat, drink and look out into the nature that surrounds the cabin. It was also perfectly located for what we did this trip. We were here for about 3 days and were able to go to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Devil's Tower. Nothing was more than about an hour away from this location. There was also plenty of scenic drives and hiking trails to keep yourself occupied in the area. Tom was very responsive to any questions we had and even left a welcoming gift and a hand written card. It was very appreciated. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I am ever back in the Black Hills.

Black Hills Family Vacation
We rented this property for our family vacation with very little notice after our previously booked property fell through last minute. The booking processes was a breeze and Tom was outstanding to work with before our stay and throughout. He provided very thorough and helpful instructions on everything regarding the property; from access procedures to working the hot tub and everything in between. The house is well maintained with an incredible view and plenty of privacy. We would absolutely book this home again and would have no hesitation recommending this to anyone. Thank you, Tom!
