Rushmore & Custer State Park The Carriage House is a One Bedroom, two level, two Bath, 800 square-foot cabin with over 300 square-feet of deck on both levels. The Carriage House was designed by the McDonald family in the "mountain log lodge vernacular". (Please note both bathrooms are located on the 2nd floor, upstairs.) The first floor has a full kitchen, dining area, and a convertible living room that includes a high end queen sized sofa sleeper. We also have two twin size roll away beds available upon request. These two roll-away beds can be added to the lower or upper levels. The second floor has a full bathroom which includes a shower / tub combo, located at the top of the stairs. The second floor also includes the master bedroom, with a separate full bath with a shower, two sink vanity area, and water closet. The master has a queen bed with high end bedding. There is an entrance from the master suite out to a beautiful wrap around redwood deck which has chairs and a spectacular view of the mountains and meadows. We feel that the elevated wrap around porch is one of the best things about the Carriage House. There is a large oak tree that the deck was built around bringing the nature of the hills close as you sit and enjoy the views from every angle. From its elevated decks, you have scenic views of mountain meadows and rolling wooded hills full of the famed dark ponderosa pine trees. Our meadows, although variable with the season, are rich in color and usually have an abundance of wildlife including deer, turkey, squirrels, etc. With just a short walk, Mt. Rushmore is visible through the trees! The Carriage House provides a Washer/Dryer, as well as fully stocked cooking facilities. We have access to free Wi-Fi, a 32" Roku TV, air conditioning, heating, outdoor dining facilities with a propane grill. (We supply the propane.) Cell service can be unreliable at the ranch and all through the Black Hills. However, we have recently, (Spring 2022), upgraded to Starlink satellite internet. Check in is at 4:00pm MST or later. Given our full house and small staff, we ask that you do not arrive early. Late check in, after 8pm, can be arranged; please call us. \*Minimum age requirement for the Carriage House is three years old. On the property is a swing set and other outdoor equipment for children to use, including a large meadow. \*Maximum occupancy of 5 people, I.E. - One family. \*Due to many considerations, we do not allow animals / pets on our property. No exceptions. If a guest arrives for their reservation with an animal they will NOT be given a rental key NOR issued a refund. Thank you for understanding. Driving and Parking Info: The Ranch is located directly off of a well maintained and paved county road.  Our driveways are hard packed dirt and gravel.  We have limited parking near each of the cabins and suites. We have an additional parking area at the rear of the main lodge.  We have a large, well kept meadow beyond that for overflow parking of motorcycle trailers, side by sides, etc.  We ask that you do not block the main driveways or the two car garage at the front of the property. Note: The two car garage is not available for guest use. It is used as a business workspace and parking for the owner's vehicle. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 4 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Children's area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34120000/34111600/34111555/be343ff1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet, Comfy Black Hills Cabin; Within 10 Mi of Mt.

Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse are a relatively short drive and Custer state park is minutes away. Going to the Badlands is a bit of a drive, so we only went there one time. We went into the town of Custer several times (it is half an hour away) to take advantage of the nice restaurants in town. We went to the Sage Creek Grille for dinner and were extremely pleased. The Elk stuffed mushrooms and the Bison Strip steak were great. We also recommend the Spiced Dumplings for dessert. We also highly recommend The Custer Wolf where we had lunch twice. We had to come back for the Mushroom Saute. Totally to die for.The living space was very comfortable. We were very relaxed during our stay. The wifi and internet connection was great. We had no trouble streaming movies and tv shows during our stay. I had a clean connection for zoom meetings that I needed to do during the stay. We will come back if and when we return to South Dakota. ##### John C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra S.
