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 the cabin. 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.

Beautiful Cabin
Great cabin for the family. Very secluded and private. My family loved the place! We enjoyed setting around the fireplace and the beautiful views in the valley. This place exceeded our expectations! Thanks to Jeff we had everything we needed and more.

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!

Secluded Splendor
All of our group of 4 couples really liked our stay. Setting on the deck in the evenings watching the wildlife come out was a highlight. The location is AWESOME as none of us like crowds and next door neighbors hootin n hollering all night. Would we stay again? YES, In a heartbeat. Jeff, send me your email or a text message, I have a photo or two to share with you,

Relaxing, comfortable, secluded cabin
This cabin was a great getaway for our whole, multigenerational family to create some priceless memories. It was a great secluded location surrounded by the beauty of the black hills. The cabin offered many amenities and nothing was left unthought of by the owners. We enjoyed a day just hanging out and relaxing at the cabin playing games, hiking, and exploring the area on atvs. It is also located close to the town of Custer and Custer State Park that we could venture there all day to come back to a relaxing evening at the cabin. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

Amazing place to stay!
The property owners call it a retreat and that is absolutely true. The log cabin is in a valley surrounded by the mountains. My favorite part was sitting on the deck in the morning listening to the breeze in the trees and the water in the creek below. Plenty of games and things to do for the kids. We have 6 kids ages 16 thru 2 and they all had so much fun. They loved exploring and enjoying the land. It’s close to all the major attractions but most importantly, it’s simply beautiful. This is a busy, noisy world we live in. This place will offer peace and solitude in the beauty of the nature around.

Beautiful Setting!!
Jeff and family were such wonderful hosts! The cabin was more than what we thought, more than enough room for 7, gorgeous views from the porch, every amenity you can think of, French Creek right by the cabin, activities for the kids.... it was great! Can't wait to come back again! Jeff has been a great communicator thru the whole process and it made our stay even better! Cheers from Colorado!!

South Dakota Adventure
Each year my best friend and I meet somewhere for a week to reconnect, unwind, and recharge for the rest of the year.
This year we chose South Dakota to explore Badlands NP, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and other nearby activities. It was a wonderful time and frankly, another two or three days would have been ideal.
I chose this property for the solitude, the beauty of the area and its’ proximity to many of the above mentioned sites. We were not disappointed!
The home is FULLY STOCKED! I mean from spices to toilet paper, we had everything we needed to feel “at home”.
That is exactly how we felt, the home is very well cared for and loved, which is evident from the moment you enter the home.
The property is ideal for a family or even a reunion, as there are four bedrooms, and a sleeping loft that has 6 twin beds.
There are two bathrooms and a full sized washer and dryer.
We spent a lot of time outside in the evenings, listening to the creek. We actually cut a couple of things out of our itinerary so we could spend a full day at the cabin.
We were greeted by chipmunks and squirrels daily, many birds and even a group of antelope one morning.
I encourage you to consider this property if you are looking to really enjoy the area as a local
and not a tourist. The cabin is about 3 miles off the main highway, so it’s about a 10 minute drive on gravel roads to arrive. I appreciate this as I live in an urban area now. Rent this home you won’t regret it!
