About this property

Quiet, Comfy & Spacious: Cabin within 10 mi of Mt. Rushmore & Custer State Park

The Carriage House is a One Bedroom, two level, two Bath, 800 square-foot cabin with over 300 square-feet of deck on both levels. The Carriage House was designed by the McDonald family in the “mountain log lodge vernacular”. (Please note both bathrooms are located on the 2nd floor, upstairs.) The first floor has a full kitchen, dining area, and a convertible living room that includes a high end queen sized sofa sleeper. We also have two twin size roll away beds available upon request. These two roll-away beds can be added to the lower or upper levels. The second floor has a full bathroom which includes a shower / tub combo, located at the top of the stairs. The second floor also includes the master bedroom, with a separate full bath with a walk in shower, two sink vanity area, and water closet. The master has a queen bed with high end bedding. There is an entrance from the master suite out to a beautiful wrap around redwood deck which has chairs and a spectacular view of the mountains and meadows.

We feel that the elevated wrap around porch is one of the best things about the Carriage House. There is a large oak tree that the deck was built around bringing the nature of the hills close as you sit and enjoy the views from every angle. From its elevated decks, you have scenic views of mountain meadows and rolling wooded hills full of the famed dark ponderosa pine trees. Our meadows, although variable with the season, are rich in color and usually have an abundance of wildlife including deer, turkey, squirrels, etc. With just a short walk, Mt. Rushmore is visible through the trees!

The Carriage House provides an in-cabin washer/dryer, as well as fully stocked cooking facilities. We have access to free Wi-Fi, a 32″ Roku smart TV, central air conditioning and heating, and outdoor dining facilities with a propane grill. (We supply the propane.)

Minimum age requirement for the Carriage House is three years old. On the property is a swing set and other outdoor equipment for children to use, including a large, well kept meadow.

Maximum occupancy of 5 people, I.E. – One family.

You may park in front of the Carriage House entrance. Please do not block either garage door. Please leave enough room for traffic to get by from the garages and the other cabin nearby. The two car garage is not available for guest use. It is used as a business workspace and parking for the owner’s vehicle.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Amazing space

We loved our time in this beautiful little house. It is so comfortable and decorated so well. We felt right at home immediately.The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the bathrooms and bedrooms are modern and have lots of towels, blankets and anything else we needed. This is literally the perfect spot to land after a long day visiting the nearby sites such as Mount Rushmore, Deadwoid, and Coster State Park. Location is great, and the home is even better!
Happy Mom and Dad

A Homey Home Base

Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House! It is beautiful inside and was a great home base to come back to each day after our day trips around the Black Hills area. Having two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, an available gas grill, and proximity to Custer State Park were all pluses! If we ever travel to the area in the future, we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Vacation

This property is in a wonderful location and the scenery is amazing. Mr Richard was a wonderful host and the Carriage House was a perfect retreat for our 8 day vacation. After a long day of riding our bikes in the Black Hills, it was home away from home. Thank you Mr Richard! I really enjoyed talking with you and I hope to see you again in the near future!
