Secluded Setting On French Creek In The Southern Black Hills

Secluded and comfortable three bedroom home located on the famous French Creek known as the "Jewel of the Black Hills". The house is vintage 1970's architecture and filled with character. There is an outdoor shower, as well as an outdoor cooktop and grill and a firepit. French Creek runs along the length of the property - on sunny days there are two large turtles that love to sunbathe on the tree over the creek. Deer and wild turkeys are often grazing in the yard. The five acre property shares a boundary with the Black Hills National Forest. Custer State Park and Blue Bell Lodge are a five minute drive away. The City of Custer is only a ten minute drive (eight miles) and offers unique shopping and dining. The house is conveniently located within 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave National Park, Sylvan Lake, Jewel Cave, Black Elk Peak, Needles Highway, the Mickelson Trail and all the sites, activities and beautiful scenery the Hills have to offer.

The property was very clean and pleasant. My family and I loved our stay. The home feels very secluded but also close to everything. Pur favorite part of the stay was enjoying the outdoor shower and stream. Star gazing at night was also fabulous. The owners were wonderful and were very responsive to any question we had. We will definitely stay at this location on our next trip to the Black Hills

We loved our stay!

Our family stayed here the week of the Fourth of July and had the best time! The property is absolutely gorgeous and we spent as much time outside as possible. We played in the trees, fished in the creek, and ate our meals at the outdoor table. We loved the seclusion but also the close proximity to downtown Custer and the State Park. The beds were very comfortable the house was clean and well-appointed. Highly recommend!

Quiet Mid-Century Hideaway

This location was perfect for a girlfriend trip. Plenty of space, great fire area, close to Custer and had a stream in the backyard. The owners stopped by to ensure everything was correct at check-in, and let us know they lived right up the street if we needed anything. Perfect trip
