About this house rental
The Owls Nest is our Vacation home in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Our family uses the Owls Nest several times every year. We do rent it a few times each year. Our home is located a mile high and has spectacular 30-mile views from the very large deck. We like to have families and their friends at our home, rather than all male groups. Please keep group size to maximum of 12 total people, including children, our property manager will check on number of people at our house The house is located near several ATV trails, you can drive to the trails from the house. We cannot provide trailer parking for very large trailers on Edelweiss Mountain. No trailer parking on our lot on Edelweiss Mountain as there is not enough level space. Trailer parking for small, medium trailers can be on my adjacent vacant lot. No trailer parking of any size on our house lot and no parking of vehicles or trailers on the roads. Contact the Owner about trailer parking.
The Owl's Nest is centrally located in the Black Hills on Edelweiss Mountain near beautiful Lake Pactola Reservoir just off of Hwy 385. The central location puts you within 30 minutes of most of the major attractions in the Black Hills.
This is an often-used personal vacation home; thus is has lots of added comforts to make yours and the owners' stay super comfortable. Wow! One new King bed, Two queen beds, Six twin beds with new Mattresses, a pack & Play crib and a queen sized futon. You and your family can enjoy all those beds, three floors of space, three full bathrooms, an over sized kitchen, living room, lower family room, a bonus room above the garage, and an over sized deck with a view overlooking the Black Hills. The garage is reserved for the owners storage. This home has air-conditioning for the kitchen and dinning area and upper bedroom. We have ceiling fans in 3 of the 4 closed door bedrooms and in the living room and bonus room. The lower level of the house is partially in the ground on 3 sides and is always cool in summer. The house does not have wi-fi but has good mobile phone service. We have two Tv's with service by dish network. We are located a mile high on Edelweiss mountain and our area is usually 10-12 degrees cooler than the reported temp in Rapid City. The summer nights cool off very nicely, bring a jacket.
The Owl's Nest is beautifully decorated, very clean, and completely furnished. The views from the decks of this home provide a sweeping panorama of Black Hills scenery
The Owl's Nest is often used by more than one family
Enjoy the beautiful Black Hills

What a beautiful place. Our family enjoyed our stay. It is almost to the top of the mountain and so peaceful. The house was clean, had everything that we needed, and was everything that was advertised. Would definitly stay here again if we were visiting the area.

So much space! We had 2 families with 4 adults and 5 teenagers and still didn’t make use of all the space. It was a great home base for our many Black Hills adventures.

My family and I had a great stay at the Owl's Nest. It has plenty of extra room. It was very clean and well equipped for our stay. We enjoyed the great views every day from the deck. It was centrally located for us to go to all of the places that we planned to visit. We really appreciated how private and quiet it was. We want to thank Dan for being a great host.

We loved our stay at the Owl's Nest! It was peaceful, quiet, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We enjoyed mornings having coffee out on the deck, enjoying the view of the mountain. It is a hop, skip, and a jump to Lake Pactola, such a fun place to soak up some sun on the water! We were here on some of the hottest days of the summer and the cabin was still comfortable for us! A lovely home away from home!
