Custer, South Dakota
This 3000 sq ft, custom built home sits on 40 acres and has huge deck off the side and a covered front deck. There is a huge fully appointed kitchen that features a gas range, 2 ovens and a warming drawer. The views are spectacular from the full length covered front porch or the huge side deck (perfect for watching the stars). The 40 acre property is right in the middle of the Black Hills and is surrounded by forest service with French Creek rolling through the valley. There are an endless amount of trails that can be accessed directly off the property for all your outdoor activities (ATV's, horseback riding, hiking and climbing).
The outdoor activities are endless with great hiking, ATV or mountain bike riding, horseback riding or just relaxing in the heart of the hills. It is also very close to downtown Custer, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, great restaurants, bars and much more. Horses and ATV's have access to endless trails right off the property.
And we just added a hot tub!!! Relax after a busy day in the hills by sitting out in the hot tub under the stunning stars. A perfect way to end the day or enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

This property is amazing. Private, quiet, big space inside and out, space for the dogs to run, close to the sites in Custer State Park and the town of Custer. If you are looking for a secluded get away, that is close enough to the things you want to do in the Southern Black Hills, this is the place. Dave was great at communicating with us, the house has all your cooking essentials from spices to cookware. We loved it, our kids loved it and our dogs loved it!
There are no words that can describe the peacefulness and beauty of this property. It’s set in a beautiful little valley. The only sounds you hear are French Creek meandering through the property and the birds singing. The cabin is fully supplied with many items including shampoo, body wash and conditioner. Plenty of space for a group to spread out and relax on the wraparound deck. If that’s not enough jump in the nice hot tube or go down to the fire pit and make some s’mores. This place is perfect. Cannot say enough about our host Dave. He has great communication skills and will text you once in a while to see if there’s anything that you need to make your stay even better. You can’t go wrong renting this property. There were eight in our group and had room for more.
My whole family absolutely loved this property for the beauty of the land, the tranquility and the endless trails to explore. The property was well-furnished to accommodate any type of cooking or baking, which made it a perfect birthday experience. Thank you, Sharp family!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Black Hills area has plenty of wonderful activities and attractions, so we had a week full of inspiring daytime adventures. Nonetheless, this property was the biggest hit of our stay. It is a peaceful, secluded, beautiful and relaxing setting that creates indelible memories all by itself. Campfires, hot tubbing, hiking on property, nature, wildlife, grilling, upgraded kitchen - the complete package. David was a wonderful host as well. Very highly recommended!
My wife and I and daughter stayed. At the property period it was one of the nicest VR BO properties we have ever stayed at. I would highly recommend period the view was spectacular. The home was immaculate and our host was excellent. Do not overlook this place when you are looking for a stay in the black hills.
We loved this cabin. It is by far one of our favorites that we have stayed in. The home is beautiful and we will be back again.
Beautiful property, amazing views and close to major attractions. We had an amazing time making memories with our family. I have recommended this property to several friends and coworkers. Thank you for opening your home to us, and making us feel welcome. Great communication with the property owners and just an overall wonderful vacation!
Our favorite family vacation so far and it had a lot to do with where we stayed. The cabin was very modern, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for a good time. The kitchen was big and well-stocked, the beds were comfortable with nice linens. Eight of us stayed and we had plenty of room. There were two large tables where we could gather and play games. A large hot tub was on the back patio right out the door so very easy to get to and the view was beautiful! There was an amazing fire pit all ready to go and the host had corn hole, a hammock and a large swing the kids enjoyed. The best part was the view from the back deck!! It looked over a beautiful valley surrounded by pine trees. I loved the view every morning and evening and was sad to leave. The deck had a grill which we used twice and a table with very comfy patio furniture to sit and enjoy the view and visit with each other. The cabin is tucked away where you have lots of peace and quiet and privacy. Yet it was close enough to all the fun things we wanted to do at Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and the surrounding sights. On our last night there the kids wanted to forgo some activities and just hang out at the cabin because it was so nice and comfortable. We grilled, enjoyed the view, played games and enjoyed the hot tub. Wanted to use the fire pit but it was raining. My family enjoyed this place so much we’re talking about coming back every summer. David was nicest host and made our stay so pleasant.
Gorgeous views and lots of privacy
Our entire family enjoyed the stay. This house is large and beautiful with ample supplies and furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a good supply of toys and puzzles for the kids plus a pool table. The house was very clean and everything in order. Kids enjoyed bikes, picking wildflowers and berries and riding the trails in RZRs and especially the swing. The adults appreciated the quietness of the area, the amazing meadow of purple wildflowers in front of the house, sunrise coffee on the deck, the fire pit and the absence of traffic and noise. The layout and design of the house provided privacy for each family and ample gathering places for meals. Grilled and ate meals on the large deck. The baby turkeys were entertaining and a surprise. The house is fabulous, Dave maintained daily contact with us ensuring we had all we needed and understood the access trail for the RZR. I would recommend this house if you want to put your feet up, have a glass of wine and experience having a piece of the Black Hills all to yourself. Perfectly relaxing but only minutes from the bustle of tourist activities. It's also perfect for bringing ATVs to go out on the many numbered trails accessible. Some of our group even got to climb the Bear Mountain Lookout Tower. It's a ten!
Very nice location away from it all (except the flies - make sure to bring a fly swatter). Thoroughly enjoyed the very well stocked kitchen, the pool table, hot tub, large deck and the incredible views. As mentioned in other reviews the kids loved running back and forth on the deck. We had some great croquet games on the lawn near the fire pit.
Amazing view from the wrap around porch. Super clean house with all the necessities you need. The property manager was so quick with responses. The property manager was also kind enough to alert of us of the possibility of bad weather, one evening. Very thoughtful.
This house was perfect for our group of seven for our week stay. The house was clean and property owner kept in contact to ensure our stay was great. Unbeatable views from the property and the central location worked great for all the activities. Would highly recommend and hope to be back!
David and Sarah were amazing hosts and the property couldn't have been better! All the reviews about a beautiful property and well-stocked kitchen were accurate! There was also plenty of parking for our three trucks, two trailers and four SxSs. Access to the trails was right there, which we loved. We enjoyed lots of time on the deck, in the hot tub, playing cornhole (they provided) and other yard games (that we brought), and playing cards at the perfect 8-seater table downstairs when we weren't out riding. Sleep with the windows open if it's not too cold and you can hear the creek. Just awesome. Of course we had lots of rain so the water was high and moving pretty good, it seemed. French Creek Farm provided all we could ever need the day it was raining too hard to trail ride. This property is the perfect distance to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Hill City, Custer State Park and many of the random trails in the Black Hills. We put on 70-80 miles each day we rode. While we missed the yaks, we enjoyed Gypsy and Wyatt the horses, and saw other wildlife throughout our 5 night stay (a few marmots, 3 deer, 2 turkeys, lots of birds and chipmunks, and even a coyote our last morning). We never did have a fire, but only because it was either too wet or we were too exhausted from all our fun! We also appreciated the reasonable price and can't wait to go back when the yaks are there! Thank you Dave and Sarah for sharing this piece of heaven with us!
Clean, nicer than expected, beautiful setting, super quiet, private…..all of the things you want in a rental. Great communication with the host. Would definitely stay again.
