About this property

Western Blue Skies

From the patios (3) and covered deck enjoy the amazing South Dakota sun setting in the pines, the long shadows on the meadow as the sun sets and awesome sunrises! Enjoy the quiet and peacefulness away from traffic noise and noise from neighboring guests. You and your guests will enjoy just as all other guests have.

New three bedroom, on several scenic acres for private hikes, climbs and exploring.

Large windows to enjoy views from living room, kitchen and bedrooms. Patio/deck areas to enjoy the quiet, scenery, wildlife, the wide-open sky with an abundance of stars. No artificial lights to interfere with your night views.

Off Highway 385, aka Wind Cave Road, 4 miles North of historic beautiful Hot Springs in a beautiful quiet country setting/valley on over 200 acres providing privacy, quiet and private hiking. Borders Black Hills National Forest Land including Lady C Ranch which is also Black Hills National Forest, this borders Wind Cave National Park.

Close and easy access to Custer State Park -- scenic Needles Highway, Sylvan Lake and several other beautiful lakes, Mount Rushmore, Evans Plunge, Mammoth Site, Angostura Lake, Badlands National Park, Buffalo Gap National Grasslands. Ideal location for quiet getaways. Enjoy the outdoors and wildlife in the Black Hills environment at its best.

King bed in one bedroom, another bedroom has a queen bed. These two bedrooms are roomy enough for pac and play, or to make bed on floor for toddlers.

The other has a queen bed and bunkbeds with full mattresses. Bunkbed has sturdy steps, not a ladder. There’s also an extra rail that sits on original rail of bed that can be used for young children.

All three bedrooms have ceiling fans, room darkening curtains and split unit air conditioning unit (no noisy fans). Each bedroom has its own control for heat and cooling. The bedrooms are on the second floor and there is a door from second floor hallway to patio area to enjoy views. The bedrooms are assessable from outside to load/unload luggage or to help with handicapped guests get to bedrooms.

Bathroom has full walk-in shower.

Air conditioning, fiber internet wifi with additional booster units, satellite TV, Weber bbq grill. Cove heating in bedrooms and in-floor heating on first floor.

The property borders Black Hills National Forest, therefore building a FIRE is NOT ALLOWED. Out of respect to future renters PETS and SMOKING are NOT ALLOWED.

Storm Shelter on site.

For the allergy and smell sensitive -- We are original owners of this home (finished in 2021) and there has never been pets, smoking, or use of scented candles in this home. Nor has there been water damage, therefore no musty, moldy smells. Bedding and Towels are washed with Tide Free.

Washer and dryer. Laundry room includes a large table for folding, drying racks, hanging clothes bar and clothes hangers.

You can contact me to make payment directly, to avoid paying additional VRBO fees. Recent guests have paid me directly, therefore those guests did not have an opportunity to give us a review on VRBO site. I guarantee all our guests enjoyed their stay and were amazed at the beauty and quiet.

Home away from home
What a wonderful stay our family had. It was truely a home away from home. We felt instantly comfortable in the rural surroundings. The children loved the cattle and being able to walk around the fields. The wildflowers were in abundance and so beautiful. It felt very private.

Nice area with beautiful views
The property was very secluded, other than the owners home right across the road. The home had plenty of space and was comfortable and clean . Thanks.

Perfect Stay in South Dakota
The Western Blue Sky made a memorable stay for our family trip to South Dakota. The hosts ensured we had everything we needed and provided great advice on things to do in the area. The home was new and clean. The kitchen was well stocked. It provided a great location to see all the area attractions. You can smell the pine in the air from the pine forests in the Black Hills and at night it is perfect for star gazing. The views are spectacular from the upper porch area. We would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful country getaway
We enjoyed our stay in the country, the sunsets on the upper deck were amazing! Close many of the sites we wanted to visit. Sharron was quick to answer all our questions. The unit was immaculate with plenty of space for everyone.

Host profile image
We absolutely love it here! Many times we have to reflect how Blessed we are to have this property. We purchased this property in 2011. We started making improvements in 2011 and are continuously making improvements.

South Dakota has always been our home.

Why they chose this property

You will enjoy your stay. Every past guest has enjoyed their stay and all are always surprised with the beauty and openness, (Just can't capture it all with pictures!) We had several guests who made other booking arrangements, therefore they did not have opportunity to list their reviews here.

What makes this property unique

Quiet. No crowds, freedom, hiking, walking, just plain ole sitting outdoors with nature being the only noise.
