Guest Suite, Black Hills, SD

Our home is in “the hills” located in a small, quiet neighborhood, on a few acres. Located about 10 miles South of Rapid City off Hwy 16. From our door to Mt. Rushmore is about 14 miles, a bit further to Crazy Horse. About 45 minutes to Sturgis or Hot Springs, about 1 hour to Spearfish, Lead & Deadwood area, and Custer.

The “Guest Suite” is a large basement bedroom with a queen bed and pullout sofa (double size bed). A pack & play is available if requested and floor space for a sleeping bag or two in the room. There is an attached private bathroom and tub-shower. Optional exterior entrance around back but main access via the front-door and down stairs.

Although we know you’ll be visiting the area, we do have a swing set and trampoline out back (trampoline requires parental approval), and a hot tub for adults. Guest wifi is available, and good phone coverage for the major providers. Breakfast can usually be provided upon request.

Although we like animals we do not allow guest animals as a policy (certain exceptions could apply), since we already have a dog, outdoor cats, and chickens. We do see various wildlife often, mainly deer and turkeys.

A little about your hosts: Family of 4, with 2 elementary age children, year-round homeschoolers and foster parents (which means we will have other children, including infants and toddlers, at various times). We are life-long traditional Lutherans within the LCMS, and have been educated in Lutheran schools and a Concordia University – we likely have common acquaintances.

Regarding cost, there is no fixed rate, but do ask for a reasonable donation to cover our costs. We are not in this to make money but to help families be able to visit the beautiful Black Hills area and meet new friends. We are happy to offer suggestions and insights to the Black Hills area.

General disclaimers; we do reserve the right to cancel a reservation should an emergency arise. Also, we will not be held responsible for accidents or injuries when staying with us. Please contact us with additional questions regarding the listing.
