About this property

Tiny Home in the Black Hills, "Wild Horse"

Tiny is 11x42 and features full size appliances, full bath, full length deck, two picnic tables, propane grill, and a Solo fire pit, wood provided.
The house yard is set aside for guest use only. No through traffic or host visits.
There is also a rented "Teeny Home" about 150' from Tiny Home. There is a privacy fence between the homes, and each home has its own access.
The property is 8 acres with a tiny creek running through it in the wet season. Guests are welcome to move about the property, but please to not knock down the hay in our field. We mow and put it up in late July, then it is clear for roaming.
There is a utility shed behind Tiny for your LAUNDRY needs.
Laundry soap, towels, bedding, generic coffee, cookware, dishes, utensils, condiments, and firewood are provided.
Please bring your own bath soap, shampoo, and ice.
There is a queen bed downstairs, a twin XL bed in the loft, and a queen sofa sleeper.
A little mezzanine adjoins the loft bed area, and it has a spare bed.
The private yard is ample, and right across from the deck is Black Hills Forest land.
Near Tiny Home (about 40 yards) is Teeny Home of the Black Hills (designed for two guests). Teeny has its own private driveway, and there is a privacy fence between the homes.
The TV is Roku with Discovery Plus and Netflix installed.
Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave, Rushmore Cave, Rushmore Adventure Park, Reptile Gardens, and Bear Country are easy drives from the home.
On three sides of the 8 acre property is public land (Black Hills Forest), one side is County Road, two sides are public countryside, and one side (over 100 yards away) is a well kept, quiet, 20 acre horse camp.
The home is on a county GRAVEL road about six miles from the highway
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Place!

We had a wonderful time at the Tiny House. The location was great, nice and secluded so you could get away and fully relax. The house was equipped with everything we needed, making the stay very simple and enjoyable! We stayed with our two kids ages 6 & 7 and they loved the loft area and pull out couch for sleeping.

Quiet cabin nestled.in the Black Hills

Tiny Home was perfect for myself and my two sons. We enjoyed the peaceful evenings, watching deer wander through the fields, and seeing the horses at the camp next door. The cabin had everything we needed. The kids loved the loft area, as well as the wrap around porch and fire pit. Tiny Home was rustic and had all the modern day conveniences anyone could need. The host responded quickly and was super easy going. Thank you!

This area is beautiful. It's peaceful and quiet being a few miles in on dirt roads, but very close to Custer, Hill City and all the attractions of the Black Hills. The other tiny house on the property is a little close but there was no one in it until our last day. We loved our stay and our kids did also.

South Dakota vacation

Love the cabin. Cute and relaxing. Quiet, no loud close neighbors. Set on a hill overlooking a small valley. Had a full size kitchen. Had a long driveway to walk our dog. Stream ran all the time we were there. And behind cabin was forest land. Had a deck around three sides of cabin for sitting and relaxing no matter which way the wind blew.

Be close to it all but with a quiet and quaint place to stay just outside of town! This property was perfect for our family of five and our dog. We were able to have space to be outdoors and a comfy tiny home to sleep in at night. We are so glad to have had the chance to stay here!

Rustic charm but not very clean

We loved the peace and quiet and the great outdoors. House should have had a deep cleaning before our stay. Like inside cupboards and drawers and the bathroom floor. Otherwise it was good. Front door should be repaired Anyone could break in. Decor was good and rustic. Need scissors in a drawer. Bedding was ill-fitted for the bed. Outdoors was great.
