Photos and Description of the Custer vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6-8) on 38 private acres!

Kiddville was a small mining camp in the days of the settlement of the Black Hills. It was then abandoned after the gold rush. The vacation home originally was the two story miner's boarding house. The house was converted and re-modeled into a family home in the 1930's, and the property became a private, 38 acre, ranch/homestead. And, again, in 2007 the home was updated with new plumbing, carpet, beds,...

The second floor of the Vacation Home hosts the three bedrooms and the full bath. The main floor consists of a living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry area, porch, and small sun room.

The original homesteader/ranchers from the 1930's lived in the house for 75 years till 2007! The home is located on 38 privately owned acres with no visable neighbors. Solitude for you!

This acreage is located in the heart of excellent National Forest deer/turkey/elk country. There are no other inhabited dwellings on the 38 acre property.

Historic buildings on the property are a mine assay office, caretaker's house, a barn/corral, and cabin.

About Patricia Baumann

This is a photo of my parents and your hosts, John and Kay. The vacation property was Kay's childhood home. We wish to share this fantastic location with its unique history with you!

Thanks! Tricia

Patricia Baumann purchased this house in 2007
Why Patricia Baumann chose Custer

The homesteaders of the 1930's were my grandparents and the property is a treasured part of the family that we wish to keep. It is our hope that it will become one of your valued memories as well as you stay at an original Black Hills Gold Mining Camp and homestead. Though the house is completely modernized, it yet holds a peice of the past this is becoming difficult to find. Each of the old buildings has a sign on the door telling what part it played in the old west.

What makes this house unique

The home is on a deadend driveway, so you will have no traffic passing through. The houseyard is adjacent to Public Black Hills Forest land, so you may hike and explore to your heart's content! Wildlife visits regularly (deer, turkeys, elk, squirrels, songbirds,...). And if you have not experienced the clean smell of pine trees, you are in for a treat! The location is at 6000 feet altitude in the protected southern Hills, so the weather is the best you will find in these parts!

Great place for solitude

  • Submitted: Jun 4, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
My wife and I (plus our small dogs) had the best time here...we didn't want to leave after staying here for 11 days. The solitude among the trees and pasture land is so relaxing. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't want to leave the house to visit the nearby attractions...we wanted to stay put! The house is old...but that is the charm. There is no internet...but that gave me a much needed break from being connected...I had forgotten how good it feels to concentrate on what is happening around me rather than what it happening around others. We will difinitely be going back!

we only had a short stay at this lovely old home and grounds but thoroughly enjoyed every minute. everything was just as described. a truly historical home and site. we hiked the property and examined the old buildings (the notes describing the history were fascinating). i've never been in a house that old but it was completely modernized, very clean and had everything we needed. the location is beautiful and our dogs loved all of it, especially romping in the forrest that adjoins the property.

Cozy home in the Black Hills area was perfect for our family. Close to Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore

This historic, cozy home was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the peace & quiet after busy days of sight-seeing. We also enjoyed reading the historical tidbits that were posted throughout the Kiddville grounds. We would definitely rent this home again if we are back in the area.

Fabulous place to get away from it all, yet near to all the Black Hills action

We (one adult, 2 kids 12 and 14) had a fantastic time at Kiddville. The ranch is right away from it all yet still convenient for Custer state park, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore, so you can spend a day checking out the sights and come back to a peaceful evening with your only company the local deer, birds and countless stars. Or you can just spend the day taking a quick hike in the Black Hills Forest, in between catching a nap on the outside swing and grilling a steak, without having to get in the car at all. The house is an old ranch house, with 3 very nice bedrooms, plenty of room to sit around, play cards and chill. If you're looking for high speed internet, and continuous connectivity, this is not the place for you, but if you want to get away from all of that, this is a great place to go. Out of our 10 days out West, including a couple of days at a nice resort, my 2 girls ranked Kiddville # 1. If we get back to SD, this is where we'll stay.
