Wonderful family stay

We visited with a large family group. There was plenty of room for everyone, a very well stocked kitchen and lots to do in the area. Karla was a responsive host who also respected our privacy. The camp fire pit was a big hit with our group and we loved seeing deer and turkey on the property.

Amazing - we were sad to leave the place and the hosts were quietly helpful - highly recommend this

Karla & Chuck were helpful yet we rarely knew they were even there. The lodging itself is breath taking in many ways - peaceful, easy access, we'll stocked - what a kitchen.

Gorgeous and relaxing retreat

The home and property are absolutely gorgeous, everything was completely as described. We had 5 couples and one single guy and had plenty of room for everyone. We primarily picked the home due to its location, it is centrally located for all the motorcycle rides that you want to do in and around the black hills area. We are already planning our next trip to the black hills (may not be next year) but this will be our first choice for our group.

Anniversary celebration

Walked to the top of the Crazy Horse monument for our 50th. Took in all of the sites from a very nice central location. The house had plenty of space for all 8 of us and great privacy too. The hosts were great. House had a well equipped kitchen and we used it often. If you need a big place, don’t hesitate!!

Amazing home in South Dakota!

The house was so charming and simply gorgeous inside and out. We had an amazing time and didn't feel like it was too far away from any of the area's attractions. The owners were so accommodating if we had questions or needed something yet left us alone to enjoy our vacation. Our favorite spots were Sylvan Lake, Spearfish Canyon and Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for a great time!

Comforts of home in a beautiful, secluded spot

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious, cozy home. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 and it was extremely well equipped. The house is full of love and memories, and the secluded property is gorgeous. There is plenty of quiet space, yet it is close to many of South Dakota's parks and attractions. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We would gladly stay here again!

Slice of Heaven

I booked this property for our family get away with my 3 adult kids, spouses and 4 grandchildren. It was perfect for our group. Kids loved the outdoor play area and all the open spaces outside. Adults LOVED the privacy of their own rooms. The beautiful front and side porch was our favorite meeting space after seeing the sights of the day. So much to do within a short drive made this an ideal location for being able to do all the things and be back for a family dinner every night! It was a true blessing to be able to share this space. Thank you Karla for a wonderful week.

Friends Reunion

There were five couples who have known each other for over 40 years. There home and property were perfect for us. Karla greeted us and showed us around and was available if we had any questions. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of outdoor seating. We fell in love with her cat, Twitch, who showed up every morning and evening (outdoor cat). There are deer and other wildlife on property, which we loved seeing. We would rent from the Becklers again

50th anniversary ❤️

This is a wonderful place. We so enjoyed our time there. Easy access to everything in the black hills. Our time at the house was relaxing. Kids put on a show on the stage downstairs , played in the play house, and had ample room to play on the yard. Love the deck so we're out every am and pm. Karla is a wonderful host. Can't say enough on how nice this vrbo is. Would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful and Spacious!

We had 17 family members staying here and there was enough room for everyone to have a comfortable place to sleep. The stage area and loft are great for extra sleeping room. The little kids loved the playhouse and slide and all the room to just run around. Karla and Chuck are great hosts who will respond to questions right away but don't bother you otherwise. The kitchen is well stocked for making family meals and large enough for everyone to gather. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful property!

My family converged from around the country to this home for a family reunion, and we had a great stay. The house is large, clean, comfortable, and as described. The property is beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained. We spent most of our stay visiting the classic Black Hills sites or sitting and chatting on the huge deck or around the fire pit. Karla is a great host. She responded promptly to questions before our stay. During our stay, she was always available but never intrusive. HIghly recommended.

South Dakota Vacation

What a wonderful location for our home base while visiting South Dakota. It was so nice to come back to your beautiful home after each long day of touring. We had 8 adults and 3 children with plenty of room to spare. By the time we finished dinner Monday night our granddaughters had a dance recital to show us in the theater area downstairs. If we ever get back to this area this is our first choice for lodging. Thanks to Teresa for meeting us and Karla for hosting us in your hidden treasure. Marty and Laurie

Beautiful Black Hills Property

I can’t say enough about this location, it was beautiful and more than enough room for our family of 10. Karla the host was very responsive when we were in communication. We loved the 20 mile ride up through the hills and the road straight to the home, gave us our outdoor experience that we do t get to experience back home. We dod come in late July so the weather was a little warm which we are used to but not so much without central air. The provided fans did help though. Centrally located to do all of the touristy things! I’ve had so many family and friends reaching out for the information for future bookings. Our family would definitely recommend this home to anyone planning a trip to South Dakota.
