About this property

Best Of The Black Hills Lake Side Property—Fun, Relaxation, And Excitement

Looking to find the best that the Black Hills has to offer? This mountain cabin overlooking a huge lake is the ideal home base to discover it all. The fun begins only a few steps away from the back door with a lake where you can fish for trout (catch and release is greatly appreciated), swim and/or use the paddle boat.

Every day will bring new experiences as you choose to visit many of the Black Hills' major attractions that are only a few minutes' drive away. Lifelong memories will be created as you enjoy the grandeur of Mount Rushmore or take in the magnificence of Crazy Horse Memorial or ride the 1880s steam train. Exciting adventures abound with water skiing and jet skiing on surrounding lakes (Pactola Reservoir and/or Sheridan Lake), biking and hiking on Mickelson Trail, or ATV riding on some of the most beautiful trails anywhere. The history of the old west will come alive as you visit historic Deadwood which is about an hour's drive.

When the day's adventure is over you'll relax in the tranquil and secluded surroundings of our cabin. As the sun goes down you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and wildlife as you watch the moon rise over the mountain and the stars begin to sparkle on crystal clear nights.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway or an activity filled time in the Black Hills, you'll find it here.

We first stayed at this property 10 years ago. Since then we've traveled to many other places, but we are all in agreement this is our favorite! Enjoying coffee on the deck in the morning, splashing in the the lake, and grilling/chilling on the deck in the evenings makes for the perfect vacation spot.

Our stay here was sooooo wonderful! It truly felt like a home away from home. Very clean, kitchen well stocked with dishes, etc. Wanda and Paul were just lovely and very gracious hosts. The setting was very tranquil and beautiful. We hated to leave and can't wait to return!

Amazing place!

What a little piece of heaven! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy our family vacation. Located about 20-40 min from all the tourist attractions so close enough that you do not spend the entire day driving but far enough from the craziness that a tourist town has. Paul and Wanda have thought of everything that you would need while on vacation. Don’t miss the sunrises, they are beautiful! I would highly recommend this place.

Very nice stay. The green knobs on bathroom cabinets have very sharp decorative washers which lacerated my thumb. Could sharp edges be bent inward to prevent others' injury? Beautiful location and wonderful hosts. No cell service.

Excellent property with fabulous hosts

We had a wonderful experience with this rental! It is about 15 minutes from the downtown of Hill City and very remote, but we enjoyed the privacy and serenity! Our kids loved the pond - fishing and paddle boating. We loved the back patio and view. Wanda and Paul were awesome hosts (they live in the condo right next store to this rental). We were welcomed to the very homey rental with a welcome message for our family on the chalk board. Also Paul brought over a bottle of wine and sparkling wine for our kids. All of the little touches were so nice, such as candy filled in the dish, all soaps/shampoos, laundry/dishwasher soap, garbage bags, etc. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a private, beautiful setting!

Superb week!

What a wonderful location and property. Wanda and Paul have thought of everything. This was our family’s first VRBO and Wanda has set the bar very high. The condo was extremely clean and welcoming and Wanda did everything she could to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. She greeted us with a good bottle of wine and even made a trip out to buy worms for our 10-yr old fisherman. The location is second to none. Stunning views of the mountains, a clean clear lake stocked with trout, and beautiful sunrises. Deerfield Park is a little slice of heaven, and a perfect place to explore all the Black Hills have to offer. We will definitely be contacting Wanda and Paul again next time we vacation in the Black Hills. Thanks for everything Wanda!

Perfect location for riding a motorcycle through some amazing scenery. We received a warm welcome and walk through from the host who immediately made us feel at home. Went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Would 100% book again.
Actual view from back deck which has a fire pit and BBQ, host provides the propane
Just a short trip to several sites like Mt. Rushmore
Also minutes from Crazy Horse
Did I mention Custer Park and the buffalo just a short drive.

Peaceful and beautiful

Our family had a great stay with Wanda and Paul! This place is very scenic. Our kids loved taking the paddle boat out and fishing. We caught trout in the pond and observed a variety of wildlife. The kitchen was well stocked and Wanda was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. Gated community and very quiet which was nice to escape the commotion of the small towns we visited. The place was well kept with many thoughtful touches from the hosts. Very happy with our stay

Our stay was amazing! The view is gorgeous! Wanda welcomed us upon arrival and it was great knowing they were right next door if we needed anything. The whole family enjoyed using the lake to swim, fish, and use the paddle boat provided. The condo was clean and accommodating. We brought our UTV. The trails are located very close to the property. Great location!

A beautiful property

2nd time staying here, absolutely beautiful view off the back deck, looks like a Bob Ross painting. Cabin has everything you need, lots of things to do within a 30 minute drive. Wanda and Paul are just great people and we’re very friendly and helpful to our family. This area is great if you’re going to the black hills and you’ll find yourself wanting to go back to the cabin and fish, cook or just sit on the deck and enjoy the views. Would highly recommend a stay here, my kids didn’t want to leave

Great place to stay!!

Paul and Wanda are excellent hosts! My parents and I had a great time and would definitely stay in this location again! It was so nice to have a quiet, cozy, home to come back to after touring the tourist attractions. The home has everything you might need when traveling and then some. The hosts are very thoughtful! I will be telling my students back in Kansas all about my trip when school starts back up. This was a relaxing way to end summer!

Lakeside Delight!

We stayed at Wanda and Paul’s condo for 4 nights and would have loved to stay longer! The condo was extremely comfortable and was the cleanest I have ever booked. We received a warm welcome from Wanda when we arrived and she gave us the details and even brought a complimentary bottle of wine for the adults and sparkling grape juice for our son. It was very hot when we stayed and she had the air conditioner all set and fans available for extra comfort. The condo was in a gated community with spaced out homes and condos situated around a beautiful lake.it was so peaceful, and still very close to area attractions such as Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, Newel Cave, Crazy Horse and much more.Hill City was an easy 15 minute drive. The condo had absolutely everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the washer/dryer was a life saver! There were lots of games (inside and outside) and even our own paddle boat to use with life jackets of all sizes. The water was a little chilly but our son still managed to get in some swimming. The back deck overlooked the lake and has a large gas grill and fire pit along with table and chairs for outdoor dining. I had coffee on it every morning enjoying the peace and beauty of the lake. Perhaps the most special was the fishing pole and worms that Wanda and Paul left for us to use because they knew how badly our son wanted to fish. If you are coming to the Black Hills area you should absolutely consider this location.

The place was amazing and host couple did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. The only thing that site could communicate more clearly is that 2nd bedroom is not really a room but space at top of stairs. Otherwise, the condo was clean and the setting was absolutely beautiful. I will return if I ever plan another trip to Black Hills area.

This property is lovely. It’s off the beaten path and away from town. For us that are used to country living, it was perfect. The kids loved the pond. All the games that are provided were an excellent way to spend time as a family. Thank you for a wonderful week!
