Black Hills Nature Retreat, Centrally Located

Secluded nature getaway house surrounded by 38 acres of pines and rolling fields in the Black Hills but located within 15-20 minutes of Rapid City and most of the major attractions from Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Rushmore Cave Adventure Park, etc. Only 5 minutes from Pine Haven Venue & Lodging (wedding and events).

We are local to Rapid City area and can be available within 30 minutes to address urgent issues. Also available to meet guests at checkin to provide orientation to the house and property.

Rural neighborhood with large acre lots adjacent to Black Hills National Forest

Guests will have full access to the house and the 38 acres of property with the exception of the two structures (workshop and storage barn).

Spacious 3 bedroom and 3.5 bath house with full sized living and dining areas which include seating for 10, foosball and air hockey tables and game table to play cards or board games.

Secluded house surrounded by pines, hills and rolling fields, but centrally located to access all of the major attractions from Rapid City to Mount Rushmore and Custer Park.

Number one amenity from our reviews? The master bedroom shower - walk-in and multiple heads that shower the entire body at once!

Looking to sit and grill on the deck and watch the local wildlife (5-6 deer, wild turkeys, etc.) graze on the property? Got that.
Looking to sit in the living room and enjoy views of pine trees, South Dakota skies, while watching a movie and drinking beer/wine/etc.? Got that too!
Looking to talk a short walk and watch amazing sunsets off to the west on the edge of your own personal forest or from top of the hill adjacent to the south? Maybe catch a glimpse of George Washington on Mount Rushmore all lit up? Got you covered!
Looking to be almost totally secluded without a neighbors house closer than 500 feet? Got that.
Looking to stargaze at night with virtually zero light pollution? We've... got... that!
Looking to head into Rapid City and grab a world famous ice cream treat at Armadillo's? A quick drive away!
Looking to head to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Rushmore Adventure Park, Bear County USA, Reptile Gardens, Prairie Berry Winery, and many more attractions all within 15-20 minutes? Right in the middle of all of that!
Looking to access all the Black Hills has to offer from your secluded paradise while still being within 3 minutes of major SD highways? Got that too.

Locally managed by Rapid City residents! No worrying about a faceless property management company - instead enjoy the attention and timely response from locals who personally care about your experience and stay at their property in Rapid City.

This house is a perfect base camp for exploring the Black Hills or for just spending time with extended family. The owners provided great instructions and speedy communication. The house matched the pictures exactly and was clean and comfortable with plenty of space and amenities. We would love to stay here again. The only caveat I would add is if you are arriving after dark (like we did), the home is near the back of the property. Follow the driveway past the first two buildings. We probably missed that in the instructions, and it took a minute to figure out the driveway/road continued on to the main house. This is one of the top rentals I’ve stayed in and would recommend it to family and friends.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The home was beautiful, very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The beds were especially comfortable, which made a big difference after long days out exploring.The location was ideal. Close to town and all the main attractions, yet quiet and private. We even saw deer in the yard each day, which made the experience feel even more special.The host provided a detailed binder with helpful info about the house, local restaurants, and nearby sights. It was a thoughtful touch that helped us find a few hidden gems we might have otherwise missed.Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Get away from it all!

We really enjoyed this house because you could truly get away from it all! No neighbors, city lights, road traffic! We saw deer everyday, enjoyed the stars and being right in the beautiful pine trees that are numerous! The house was clean and very roomy. We enjoyed fixing meals and watching movies as a family after a day of sight seeing. Michael was very good to work with us after we had booked and had to move our days because of a funeral. We really appreciate his down-to-earth manner in helping and communicating with us. We felt safe and had a really enjoyable stay at this house!

Great to deal with

This property looked amazing, but we had to cancel prior to our visit due to two more family members joining us on our trip. The house didnt work out for the number of people we had staying, but the owner was very good about refunding us our money.
