Next to Custer State Park 6 miles to Custer. 11 acres with a flowing creek and 4 bedroom house backed up to Forest Service with a fire pit and barn, air conditioning and fiber optic WiFi In the summer Ferdinand and Milkshake often graze the pasture. They are Highland and Highland Park steers. The house is situated against Forest Service with miles of hiking and elk habitat. Stockade Lake is within 3 miles and you can use the canoes and body boards from the rental at the Lake. Plenty of public land abounds. In fact, just down the road you can hike along French Creek into Stockade Lake. All public. If you prefer, you can sit by the firepit and relax or sit along the rushing French Creek (it runs through the property) and watch Ferdinand and Milkshake graze. Fishing allowed in the creek. Let the kids entertain themselves running outside, camping in the traditional native sleeping area or playing ping pong, foos ball and arcade games in the garage. Maybe an adult game of poker in the garage space that evening? You will love that you are within minutes of the entrance to Custer State Park. We have created a magical space to create memories. Feels like you are miles from nowhere but, you are within 6 miles of Custer city. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Kayak - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Unit size: 2,544 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Load and start the dishwasher Strip any used beds and gather used towels Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash Turn off the lights and lock the doors Take all trash to the road where trash bins are located.

Close to lots of tourist attractions but also secluded to feel at home! Cows were fun roomies outside. The whole family loved it! ##### Jasmine D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas C. Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful area and wonderful stay We took our kids here on a family vacation and we all loved it. The house was it great shape and had so many activities to keep the kids entertained. They were ages 9-13, and never got bored. They explored the creek, went hiking in the Black Hills National Forest right out the back door, and played many of the games the host provided. The highlight for our daughter (and also the boys) was getting to see Penelope and Ferdinand. The house is very close to so many outdoor attractions like Stockade Lake, Bismarck Lake, and Custer State Park. We always had many choices on outdoor activities. The house had everything we needed, as well as a great stock of coffee. Several mornings I took some coffee outside to watch the peaceful morning while the kids slept in a bit. Thank you for making our vacation perfect and memorable! ##### Thomas C.
