About this house rental

PETS WELCOME!
$225/night for up to 4 guests. $20/night per additional guest. Plus VRBO service fee and 6% lodging tax.
Kiddville was a small gold mining camp in the days of the settlement of the Black Hills IN THE LATE 1800's!
It was then abandoned after the gold rush.
The vacation home originally was the two story miner's boarding house. The boarding house was then converted and re-modeled into a MODEST family home in the 1930's, and the property became a private, 38 acre, ranch/homestead.
And, again, in 2007 the home was updated with new plumbing, carpet, beds,...
The location is 9 miles NW of Custer.
Six of these miles is well maintained gravel.
The second floor of the Vacation Home hosts the three small bedrooms and the full bath. The main floor consists of a living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry area, porch, and small sun room.
Two of the bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds.
The original homesteader/ranchers (my grandparents) from the 1930's lived in the house for 75 years till 2007!
The home is located on 38 privately owned acres; no other inhabited dwellings. Solitude for you!
This acreage is located in the heart of excellent National Forest deer/turkey/elk country. There are no other inhabited dwellings on the 38 acre property.
Ranch cattle may be found grazing on some of the (fenced) acreage. The five acre yard hosts no livestock.
USFS adjoins the property across from the front door.
Historic buildings yet on the property are a mine assay office, caretaker's house, a barn/corral, and cabin.
Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave are some of the nearby attractions..

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and particularly appreciated the notes throughout the grounds about the history and family who built it. Staying here was like stepping back in time to experience an earlier lifestyle but without having to sacrifice modern conveniences. We certainly plan on visiting again and plan to book for a longer stay next time.

We stayed here for 5 nights. Listing was very accurate, house was clean and ready for us! The property was peaceful- it was easy enough to get to town if you wanted but house had all the amenities we needed to cook and relax. It’s the perfect location for any of the Black Hills tourist attractions. We had no issues and owner was very responsive and pleasant when we called to check in. I would go back again and will recommend to family and friends.

We so enjoyed the space and exploration area this house gave us! Our kids and dogs loved hiking through the forest right outside the door and checking out all the historical buildings on the property. The well water took some getting use to, but other than that everything was great. We really enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I really enjoyed the property! It was fun coming home every day around dusk and seeing different wildlife walking through. Our dogs also loved every bit of the area! The house had everything we needed and Kay was very friendly. We’re sorry we missed her when she stopped by. We would definitely stay again.

We were looking forward to this stay from the reviews. It was nice having property for the kids and dogs to roam; However, I doubt that a full 5 acres was mowed and up kept as stated. The first night we came in at 10pm and were exhausted, but had to change/clean bedding before we could sleep. It was to late to complain, so I alerted the owner when she introduced herself the next day and I sent a message on here. She was appalled at the situation and more than apologetic for the situation. Kay and Trish were very sweet and wonderful. However, we expected old and nostalgic stay, but clean. There was too much to waste my time and their’s telling them about everything because it would been impossible to take care of during our stay. The home just really needs a good deep cleaning: floors shampooed, couches, all cabinets, walls etc cleaned. The location and property were secluded, but in a wonderful location.

I gave it 5 stars and my three dogs would give it 5 paws or bones! It was great being away from everybody, but close to everything we wanted to do. The owners were easy to get ahold of and to talk too! I would definitely recommend this place to people visiting. If we ever get the chance to go back I will be booking it again. Always nice to find a place that doesn’t have a pet fee!!
