The property was beautiful. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, utensils, pots and pans. The location is remote and peaceful, however it was an easy 15 minute drive to get groceries.

This is a beautiful cabin that overlooks the flowing rolling hills. The cabin has ample dishes, towels, pots & pans, etc. The loft is great but there is no privacy and if you are a light sleeper, this isn’t the place for you to sleep.

About the host

Hosted by kevin and garn kuiper

Host profile image
I'm a real estate broker and my wife, Garn, is a Nurse Practitioner at Avera Behavioral Health in Sioux Falls. When we bought this property we had the intention to develop it with 5 or 6 homes with privacy and fantastic river views. We just have not been able to part with any of it and decided to just share it with everyone with this vacation rental home....

Why they chose this property

We found this beautiful piece of real estate, were finally able to purchase it about 20 years ago and decided we really just wanted to share it with the world a little. It had been in the same family for 3 generations, ever since it was aquired from the government over 100 years ago. It has not had much human activity over the years, just quietly co-existing along a mile of the Big Sioux River. Whitetail deer, pheasants and turkeys enjoy the solitude there.

What makes this property unique

We've really enjoyed hiking the property over the years. Just pick a deer trail and follow it and discover the beauties of nature.

You can hunt, hike or ride horse at either Hidden Bridge or Peterson Preserve which adjoins our property to the East and North.
