Log Home, secluded on a creek

A custom crafted log home offers comfort in every season of the year. Our property consists of thirty-two acres of wildflowers, pine trees, and rocky ridges, surrounded by National Forest providing hiking in the meandering valley of French Creek.

Our home includes two bedrooms on the main floor, two on the lower level (a walk-out basement) and a large loft with five single beds. There is a full bath on each floor. The Great Room, which has a stunning rock fireplace as a focal point, flows into a dining room and kitchen area, A long covered porch covers the full length of the house, and a large open deck looks down a long valley. Beautiful lawn surrounds the cabin, with a path down to French Creek which flows by a gazebo, a quiet place away from cabin life. There is a firepit for evening campfires, a tree-house with swing, and equipment for Ladderball, Cornhole, and other family games. A softball field also serves as an area for Frisbee and other activities.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Oh what a beautiful place, a large property. The best stocked kitchen for cooking in any rental I have ever stayed in. About 15 minute drive into Custer and so private. Marmots, deer, wild turkeys and beautiful birds on the property. Lotsa green space to play and explore.

This place was amazing! Off the beaten path without being in too far away. The cabin was almost our favorite part of our Black Hills trip. The kitchen was well stocked, and the WiFi handled everything we needed it for. Jeff was super communicative and helpful and anticipated anything we could have needed. We will definitely be coming back to stay again.

Black Hills Gold

Perfect log cabin in a beautiful, serene setting. We had 6 adults in our group and had room to spare. Everything we needed was in the cabin ready to go. From campfire wood and kindling to the fully stocked kitchen, there was not one detail missed. Lots of wildlife, wide open sky for star gazing, close to all the area attractions. I can't say enough good things about this special little place.

Quiet Spacious Cabin

Nestled up the hills, the property is peaceful and beautiful! We came to go side-by-siding and there was plenty of parking for our three trucks and trailers (and room for another one or two) with easy and quick access to the trails. 4 bedrooms plus loft, plenty of sleeping space for large groups. Jeff responded to messages in a timely manner, was accomodating, and just down right wonderful to work with! Our group is hopeful to stay here again!

Beautiful cabin in the hills, perfect for families or groups.

A beautiful property tucked away in the hills out of town. Very secluded and private, with a ton of games and things to do on-site for families. Close to all of the fire roads and trails for those who want to ride off-road vehicles in the black hills. Has everything you need to cook, clean & just sit back and relax (But no TVs!) Hosts were very good with communication and my entire group was very happy with the property. Thank you again!!

Secluded and Beautiful

Great property. It was clean and plenty to do off the grid. There is WiFi, but no TVs as it is designed to be more of a way to reconnect with your family. We had a great time playing board games and enjoying the outdoors. The creek is close by but we thought it would have been easier to access and maybe a bit bigger than it really was. Host was very attentive as well.

great cabin retreat in the Black Hills!

The property and cabin are a great location for a retreat or to use as a home base for exploration in the Black Hills. We had a great time and everything was as expected. The host was an excellent communicator. During our stay, we didn't get to spend as much time about the property as we planned because of great weather and all the cool things to do in the Black Hills. We wished we had more time!

Home Away from Home

We are traveling with Young adult Children, but this cabin is equipped to handle varying family sizes and ages. We found everything we needed and it felt very welcoming, like you were home. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to prepare meals with plenty of dishes and silverware. We were away from the cabin most of the time we were in town, but there was so much to do on site, if you plan some down time while visiting, you will be glad you did. Everything was great and we would definitley recommend or stay again.
