Great place to stay in the Black Hills

My wife and I stayed for four nights. The location is right in Spearfish but the acerage around the house makes it feel like you are out in the countryside. The house and prperty sre a lot of fun.

Perfect For Us

We couldn't have chosen a better place for our honeymoon! The house is charming and cozy, and the property is absolutely beautiful!! Located near the walking path and river, it was perfect for our morning walks. We will definitely be staying again.

A very unique property, it was a real treat, staying there. It was also a pleasure meeting the owner and visiting with him. Hopefully sometime in the future, I’ll be able to stay there again.

A Great Place To Stay In Spearfish

Property was clean and well kept. The decorations were nice and the outdoor area was fun to walk around. The AC worked OK, just dont run it for too long. It's a very unique place to stay at, and well worth the price.

Amazing

This off-grid property was perfect for a weekend visit with my daughter. The off-grid set up of straw bale house, solar panels, well, wood stove was fascinating. The cabin was clean and cozy and Jared was quick to respond when we had a little battery trouble. I will definitely rent again!

I wish we stayed longer!

My husband & I had a short stay as we were splitting our drive to a week long vacation in Montana. This home/property is so cute & the beautiful scenery is to die for. We saw many deer & other wildlife wondering the property. It was a great stay & I highly recommend!

Definitely off-grid living

My husband found this place and sent me the link and I just booked it without really looking at the pictures. It was different than any other place we have stayed before. It was an experience to stay in a house that is pretty much self-sustaining. The house had plenty of room.

Fantastic!

We loved everything about this home, from its serene surroundings, sustainability and cool factor. One night wasn’t enough but we were so happy we got to experience it. We saw a huge buck right outside the bedroom window and loved the thrill of jumping into the cold plunge pool. When in town, be sure to eat ice cream at Leone’s!

Relaxing weekend at the cottage

All instructions were spot on. The address was very easy to find. We meet the owner during the stay. He was very friendly. He made sure we had everything we needed and encouraged us to look around the 3 acre property. On our stay we used the sauna and the cold plunge. I highly recommended both. My family and I highly recommend staying at the property.

Uniquely Amazing Experience

This property was unique and whimsicle. The cobb house was so fun but the part we enjoyed the most was the tub in the creek and the swing right by it. It's where my friend and I spent the most time. Easeful check in, clean space. Don't let the toilet scare you. It works just fine and doesn’t smell one bit! Would definitely stay again!

Artsy, Self-sustaining House.

Loved the unique & artistic, architectural design & flare of this little customized house, located in Spearfish, SD! This was our first time to stay in a ‘self-sustaining’ property. Definitely one-of-a-kind! Am completely unfamiliar regarding sawdust-composting toilets, but this feature was a very manageable. Truly appreciated the attention to details & the craftsmanship in this space! This house is nestled in a quiet location adjacent to a small creek & an open field, yet is conveniently located near Spearfish, as well as a short drive to Deadwood or Sturgis. Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse & Custer State Park are also an easy day trip from this location. So, it’s a great place for 2 people to stay! Can highly recommend it!

Cozy Spearfish Getaway

We stayed here while in town for a wedding. The cabin is very beautiful, cozy, and in a convenient location to town. It was a perfect place to unwind for a few nights among all the family activities. We particularly enjoyed the comfy living room, the views, and the tree house! A small note for those considering this property: the creekside hot tub shown in the listing does not appear to exist anymore, but a very cool looking wood-fired sauna is available instead. Additionally, this cabin would not be good for anyone with mobility issues, as the bed and composting toilet are quite high off the ground. Otherwise, this place is a lovely little spot for a getaway!

Unique House

Very peaceful location. House was clean. Has large yard and would be great area to sit outside at night on a summer night. Hosts were attentive and prompt when we requested additional firewood for the wood burning stove. Had four fawns visit one evening. Spent all waking hours sight seeing and visiting attractions. If you have not experienced a self recycling toilet, you may be surprised. But I must say, due to the way the toilet vents there is absolutely no odor. The bed and toilet sit high, so those that are elderly or have physical limitations may find getting in bed or on the toilet a little challenging. None the less, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Tiny House on Steroids

My wife and I were out for a visit to see our new grandchild, but our trip was cut short by weather and so I'm offering this review after only one night's stay. This property is like visiting one of the "wonders of the world". The engineering that went into the design and construction of this property in trying to make it Earth friendly is amazing. Be ready to step back in time. "Off the Grid" is more than a description; it's a warning. The same concepts that make this property such an endearing and novel stay are the same things that will also require you to remember that there are certain expected (but possibly forgotten) things that will require you to do more than push a button to get it done. I highly recommend this property, but make good use of your hostess in determining if it's right for you before booking. (She's quite nice and very helpful). It's not for just anyone IMHO. Cheers!

Among most unique at VRBO

Among the most unique homes we’ve ever stayed at among VRBO properties. Best served for a couple. Could be tough for a family. Having a bicycle is a plus to get around. A good destination to set up HQ and day trip to Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, Black Hills among other vacation-worthy spots. To put things in perspective, watch online videos of the owner, an “off grid builder”. The greatest features of this home are in its architecture and engineering—simple medieval technology meets modern tech. You can really unwind here. My favorite spot is the watering hole beneath the spaceship treehouse (RECOMMENDATION: Go through Colorado before you arrive here). NOTE: This location is described as off-the grid. This is true. The entire property is self-sustaining. But you’re not necessarily off the grid—as in out in the middle of no where. Thank God, you’re actually within walking distance of at least two breweries.

Quiet location

This property is in great condition, but is not for people with mobility issues. The bed and toilet require a step stool to use and the bed is against a wall. You have to crawl over the other person to get out. But, the bed is very comfortable. Also, no bedside table (difficult if you use a CPAP). There are no doors on the bathroom or bedroom. Not a big problem for us, but might be for some. The curtains don't block any light. The location is great. Very quiet and close to a walking path. Nice place, but not our cup of tea.

Oh my gosh!! This property was amazing… I only stayed one night but wish I stayed longer. Me and my friend really enjoyed the sauna along with the beautiful land. The owners were extremely friendly! When I come back to the hills I will definitely be staying here again.
