About this house rental

PETS WELCOME!
$225/night for up to 4 guests. $20/night per additional guest. Plus VRBO service fee and 6% lodging tax.
Kiddville was a small gold mining camp in the days of the settlement of the Black Hills IN THE LATE 1800's!
It was then abandoned after the gold rush.
The vacation home originally was the two story miner's boarding house. The boarding house was then converted and re-modeled into a MODEST family home in the 1930's, and the property became a private, 38 acre, ranch/homestead.
And, again, in 2007 the home was updated with new plumbing, carpet, beds,...
The location is 9 miles NW of Custer.
Six of these miles is well maintained gravel.
The second floor of the Vacation Home hosts the three small bedrooms and the full bath. The main floor consists of a living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry area, porch, and small sun room.
Two of the bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds.
The original homesteader/ranchers (my grandparents) from the 1930's lived in the house for 75 years till 2007!
The home is located on 38 privately owned acres; no other inhabited dwellings. Solitude for you!
This acreage is located in the heart of excellent National Forest deer/turkey/elk country. There are no other inhabited dwellings on the 38 acre property.
Ranch cattle may be found grazing on some of the (fenced) acreage. The five acre yard hosts no livestock.
USFS adjoins the property across from the front door.
Historic buildings yet on the property are a mine assay office, caretaker's house, a barn/corral, and cabin.
Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave are some of the nearby attractions..

We really enjoyed the property and the surrounding grounds - our dog (leashed) love exploring the various outbuildings and fields. It’s a very unique property that has all the solitude someone could ask for.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
We were looking forward to this stay from the reviews. It was nice having property for the kids and dogs to roam; However, I doubt that a full 5 acres was mowed and up kept as stated. The first night we came in at 10pm and were exhausted, but had to change/clean bedding before we could sleep. It was to late to complain, so I alerted the owner when she introduced herself the next day and I sent a message on here. She was appalled at the situation and more than apologetic for the situation. Kay and Trish were very sweet and wonderful. However, we expected old and nostalgic stay, but clean. There was too much to waste my time and their’s telling them about everything because it would been impossible to take care of during our stay. The home just really needs a good deep cleaning: floors shampooed, couches, all cabinets, walls etc cleaned. The location and property were secluded, but in a wonderful location.
