The guest house is available to owners by reservation for the cost of the cleaning. There are also provisions in place if some owner would like to have horses. Located just off Iron Mountain Road near the Black Hills Playhouse and the famed one lane tunnels and pigtail bridges. A truly one-of-a-kind community.

There are so many special details in this home that there is no way to list them all.
