About this property

This home is in the foothills of the beautiful Black Hills, where prairie meets mountains. We built it on a cliff, with a spectacular view of the valley below and the Black Hills. It has log siding, with subtle stone trim, and sits on 7+ acres, overlooking the beautiful Black Hills. Our home is licensed and inspected by the state of South Dakota as a legitimate vacation rental.

The wraparound porch invites quality time in the fresh air of the Hills with sunrise and sunset views.

While the mountain air cools the house comfortably, central air conditioning is available for those rare hot days; as well as a furnace, should the temp be just a bit too cool.

Offering 3 bedrooms, this home provides plenty of personal and communal space for up to 6 folks. The full kitchen and laundry room round out the home. New carpet was installed in 2019. A garage is included for your vehicle, whether it's 4 wheeled or 2 with plenty of extra parking.

Our rate is based upon double occupancy. Our fee for additional folks is $25 per person/night.

Nicest host you’ll ver find

We chose this location because it was outside of Rapid City, away from the traffic and noise. This is a pretty ranch property about 15-20 miles from town so, you’re out in the countryside which we wanted. There’s one horse on the property and he enjoys your attention. Some mornings we woke up to deer exploring around the corral or wild turkeys walking past the front door. And the stars at night! Wow! Also garage parking for our car. Only one shower/bathtub. But there were only two of us. You’ll find your host (Bob) one of the nicest, friendliest, accommodating people out there. We just loved him and even visited his nearby ranch. He was waiting at the property when we arrived and showed us all around and made sure we were settled in properly. The property is centrally located to all the area’s attractions. Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, and the Mammoth Site were all nearby. We drove about an hour back I90 to spend the day in the Bad Lands and another day we drove up through Sturgis and onward to Devil’s Tower. Now, again, you’re out in the country so not much dining options. There’s a small diner/grill nearby (we did not visit) and an excellent pizza shop nearby too. In Hermosa, there’s a small grocery store to get your essentials. We stopped in Rapid City at a major chain grocery for our week’s supplies on out way into Hermosa. I’ll mention again that our host was just nice a nice person. We were completely satisfied with our visit to this property i

About the host

Hosted by Bob Shedeed

We owned a hardware store for 30 years in Nebraska and decided to retire to the beautiful South Dakota Black Hills. In 1983 we joined the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association. This organization gives you a second chance after the kids are gone and you have worked long enough. Bob accumulated several championships in the NSPRA - 3 in the All-Around, 4 in the Ribbon Roping, and 6 in the calf roping. In 2009 through 2012, he was the World Champion Header in the team roping competition in the 60 plus age group. We also traveled in Canada and received several titles there. Bob was inducted into the South Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Donna won the titles in Ribbon Roping with Bob - he catches the calf, she grabs the ribbon off the tail, and runs to the finish line. She's won 4 World championships in the All-Around, 3 World titles in Barrel Racing, and Frontier Champion team roping heeler in 2007. She's also inducted into the South Dakota Cowgirl Hall of Fame.

So, after 15 years in this home, we built a second home down the road, to be closer to our big barn and roping arena.

Why they chose this property

This home is in the foothills of the beautiful Black Hills, where prairie meets mountains. We built it on a cliff, with a spectacular view. It has log siding, with subtle stone trim, and sits on 7+ acres, overlooking the horse barn and pasture.

We are centrally located to all that is good in the Black Hills.

What makes this property unique

We built our place on a cliff, overlooking the southwest valley. This one-of-a-kind view includes pasture, hills, our roping arena, and the biggest, bluest sky imaginable.

Oh, and did we mention only 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore and 15 from Custer State Park?!
