About this property

Beautiful, Countryside, 6 Bedroom Next to Custer State Park.

This 6 bedroom, 3000 square foot home is a completely remodeled ranch style house with new paint, flooring, bedding and amenities. Central Air conditioning added in 2021.
We are located 1.5 miles from the edge of Custer State Park. My husband and I have a house nearby and another rental called The Little Red Inn, along with Grandpa’s Place down Rocky Road. The Little Red Inn is 1.5 miles from this Brown House and Grandpa’s House is about 2.5 miles.
We bought The Brown House and renovated it in 2020. We placed stone along the bottom and we completely repainted it inside and out in 2020. We removed a carport and put in a large firepit and outdoor area with pea gravel that flows into a garage converted into a gathering area. The yard is enclosed so young children can run. There is an upstairs sitting area with a large tv and a downstairs area as well so the kids can have a space. Both spaces have 70 inch TVs. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and downstairs there are 2 more. Bathrooms are on each level. You are 1 mile from the back entrance to Custer State Park. This takes you to Needles Hwy ( about 4 miles away).
The house has a little room with books, toys and a canvas mushroom play space for youngsters and there is a shuffleboard for adults and tweens.

The outdoor Firepit area is a favourite.

We are next to the best hiking, biking, motorcycle riding in the nation.
We are also close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and centrally located to Keystone, Hill City and Hot Springs. We are about 5 miles from Custer, 2 miles on gravel.

We believe in supporting the community and want to invest in the future of Custer. I’m a local physician and I work at the hospital and clinic. We have all new furnishings and wonderful views. Hiking and biking is right out the front door. Views of the meadow include a moonrise and elk grazing, along with horses roaming and running. Morning coffee on the large deck is glorious with a calming view and we have a garage for gatherings that walks out into a large firepit and gathering area. We have created what we would want when we travel with our family. We take pride that we manage our own property and live in the area.

We have internet but not fiberoptic. It works great but could be slow if multiple users and two TVs are streaming.

Custer has incredible dining. Best burgers around at Burger and Bun and Bakers Bakery. Get reservations for upscale fine dining at Skogen Kitchen. Enjoy breakfast at Bakers Bakery and upscale Hjem am (reservations encouraged). Have dinner on the patio and relax with a beer at The Custer Wolf. Enjoy the locals at Our Place. Experience a brewery experience at Pounding Fathers and a sports bar atmosphere at The Buglin Bull. Sage Creek Grille is fantastic and may have a line in the summer. Incredible food.
Cook at home with a Ninja blender, Ninja Grill, Airfryer and Pressure Cooker. I have stocked this home like I cook in my own home.
A Ninja hot and cold coffee maker is available for your pleasure.
There is a large roaster pan and lots of sauce pans and cooking bowls and utensils. Service for 12 with bowls, plates and glasses. Blackstone Grill outside.

Nightlife and live music at The Beacon.

Tons of outdoor biking and hiking activities. Hot Air balloon rides with Black Hills Balloons. Bikes and climbing, kayak equipment at South Dakota Outdoor Sports.

You could spend days in the surrounding area going from place to place ... or you could relax and do nothing.

Beautiful countryside experience.
This property had lots of room for our family and so many amenities. We enjoyed the evenings outdoors by the fire pit. We watched the wildlife and beautiful nighttime sky. Short drive to Custer and Hill City. Overall a beautiful home.

First time out west!
My husband and I brought our 4 children, 3 spouses and 2grandsons to SD. House was perfect for our large group. Beds were great, plenty of towels and temperature was very comfortable. Opened the windows at night and it was cool, closed them in the morning and the house stayed cool. Joy and Matt were helpful and neighbor saved our fire pit night with dry wood after it rained much of one day. I would easily recommend this house as it was convenient to downtown Custer, the state park and Mt Rushmore. And if you want to see the Buffalo , go later in the afternoon or dusk. The kids saw none when they went early morning, but HERDS later in the day😉

Beautiful views
This property worked really well for our multifamily group of 10. We had lots of space to spread out and the views of the lake and wildlife were great. It was especially nice when the horses were hanging out in the pasture across the road. The location was great, right by Custer State Park.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Brown and Joy Falkenburg

Host profile image
I'm a family doctor with a small farm down the road and I own The Little Red Inn and The Brown House and Grandpa's place. I believe in supporting the community and being a good philanthropist. I think that human connection is important and that more people should try to disconnect and spend time in nature and with their families. Vacations and introspection is important and this is the perfect place for that. I like to buy properties that are close by and improve the drive to work. I love seeing people enjoy the houses that we rent and want to decorate and supply them with things I would want when I travel. I hope to create a magical and memorable vacation for you and your family.

Why they chose this property

It was close by and I love the views from the house and deck. I knew the garage could be turned into a gathering area that flowed into a beautiful outdoor space and firepit.
I like the enclosed yard for youngsters. It is close to town but in the countryside and you could bike right out your door.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views and very close to Custer State Park.
