Modern Black Hills home nestled in the pines near beautiful Pactola Lake
This modern cedar-sided home offers comfort and convenience, but it is the peaceful, secluded aura that makes it hard to leave.

The outdoor patio and deck space around the home invite family time or individual rest.
The home, built in 2002, has two levels, with the upper floor including a large master bedroom with glass doors leading to the back deck, large full bathroom, fully stocked kitchen, open concept family room and dining area. The lower level holds two bedrooms with queen beds, a full bathroom, laundry area, and large family/game room with a wood-burning stove. Five sliding glass doors and large windows offering beautiful views of the Hills are located throughout the home. Spacious rooms give every guest privacy, yet create openness for group activity.
Fully Stocked Kitchen: Guests are welcome to use the modern conveniences of a gas grill, dishwasher, refrigerator, electric stove, 12-cup coffee-maker, and microwave. Cupboards are stocked with popular seasonings and staples such as coffee, flour and sugar. Cooking utensils, dinnerware, and silverware are all supplied in quantity.
An electric washer and dryer are available for guest usage in the lower level of the home.

This place was a great getaway for my husband and me for a beautiful weekend in the Black Hills! Kari communicated well and we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!
Great home out of town in a beautiful and peaceful area. We were driving distance from all of the SD attractions we wanted to see on our vacation. We would stay there again.
The property was quiet and relaxing if you want to get away from the city life. It had everything we needed including good internet. It is also close to Pactola Reservoir and OHV trails. we enjoyed our stay there very much.
We had a great time staying at this Black Hills property! It is clearly an older house but it is kept up well with plenty of kitchen gear, gas grill, towels and camping chairs.We even got to briefly meet the owners when we arrived.Just be aware that the location - like most places in the Black Hills - will require a bit of driving depending on what attractions you are interested in. Same for shopping, so plan to grocery shop before you arrive!
The property is very nice a s clean. We loved the location of the property and the access to all the towns around the area. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Kari O'Neill
We live on a farm/ranch about 180 mi. SE our vacation home. We love to get away to the Black Hills, and feel a natural pull to the area. I (Kari) am retired from South Dakota State University in Community Development. We enjoy spending time with grandkids and family, fishing, camping and hiking. Our roots are deep in agriculture, with Rick's ranch being in his family over 100 years.
Why they chose this property
Simple - we LOVE the area and the home, and want to share it!
What makes this property unique
We are in the true beauty of the Black Hills. Wildlife such as deer and turkeys come up to the door and in the late summer cattle are around due to open grazing in the National Forest. If you want to get off the highway and into the Black Hills National Forest, you will be at home here.
