Great Stay in the Black Hills

We had an excellent time here. Nice place, comfortable, good location. Our 5 year old grand-shildren expecially liked being able to feed the fish. One thing to note -- the VRBO listing shows the location off highway 85, southwest of Cheyenne Crossing in Spearfish Canyon. It is not in the canyon, it is off N Rochford Road. Still a great location.

Beautiful spot

Quiet, lovely house and setting. Liked the layout very much. Would have liked the dining table to have seating for up to 10 (seats 6, with 4 stools at kitchen counter). And the hot tub is set at a temp that is too low. (If you turn up the heat you lose your security deposit).

Amazing Property

The pictures to this property do not do it any justice. It’s actually a really good size and space. The pond right out of the house was awesome, the kiddos named the biggest trout Walter. Two of us had him on the line but couldn’t get him in, shook the hook out. There’s a trail just right to the South of the house which was pretty cool. Definitely would stay again! The whole family had fun!! Thank you for the experience!!

Yearly Family Vacation

This property is lovely, it features an amazing covered porch out front with a stunning view of the Hills. We did have an issue while there, the hot water heater quit, so no hot water for showering, dishes or laundry. We had 10 people there and the temperature that day was just shy of 100 degrees, so no shower was not a welcome surprise. The owner was responsive and had it repaired within 24 hours. Would recommend this site for any group, little stream and small pond with rainbow trout for catch and release, was a highlight for the young children. Beautiful setting and great star gazing at night.

Cozy Getaway but Close to Everything

We stayed during Sturgis 2023. Five couples. Plenty of space vehicles, trailers and 5 Harleys. The property was a wonderful base location for day rides, close enough to town for shopping. House was stocked with essentials needed to get started. We made breakfast every morning before heading out and had drinks on the covered porch at night (plenty of outdoor seating). Enjoyed some foosball tournaments and the hot tub, although it was missing some jets and seemed to run loudly constantly (this could've have been operator error). Coffee pot ran slow for 10 people but we found a carafe that kept the first pot hot while we started the second. Would rent again and would recommend to friends.

great location to trails

We went with a group of friends and some family to ride side by sides. Was close to lots of trails in all directions. There was plenty of parking for 4 trucks and 3 trailers. The home was great ! Kitchen had all that we needed ( has regular coffee pot) plenty of linens, blankets and towels. Was great to find that 1 bedroom is separate from the others with a sitting room and its own bathroom. There is a stand up AC unit in the main living room which we had to only use 1 time as we were gone most of the day. Turning on fans and opening windows at night and it was plenty cool in June. the pond with the fish was great, the kids loved feeding the fish and Don was very nice and responsive. He made sure we had plenty of fish food for the kids to use. There is a separate garage with a driveway to it but we did not need to use that additional space Deck is large with plenty of chairs and 2 tables plus grill and hot tub

Labor Day Weekend Trip 2023

The main issue we had was the water out of the faucets smelled awful. I contacted the owner and was informed that a new filter had been installed and water needed to be run through. We were told to let the water from the hose outside run and after a day or so the smell was better. The coffee pot had a crack and the first pot of coffee went all over the counter and there was no replacement carafe. There was no horseshoe pit that was listed as an amenity. We loved the location and the beauty that surrounded us. The kids thoroughly enjoyed feeding/fishing for trout and the deer and turkeys that wandered through. The upstairs was warm at night with no air conditioning/air circulation. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Vetch or Don Vetch

Host profile image
We built the Cedar Home in 1995, with the vacationer in mind. We have 2 homes in the Black Hills that we rent, and have gained a strong base of repeat customers that we call friends.

Why they chose this property

The Cedar Home sits on 4 acres of land. It has a pond right out front, with trout for catch and release. The views of the Black Hills are breathtaking. Most every early am and at dusk, you will see deer come down from the forest,or wild turkeys right in your yard. It is quiet and peaceful, yet close to attractions and historic towns.
