Summary:
An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise in a lovely historic home.
The Space:
An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise in a lovely historic home! Looking for a beautiful escape in the woods with opportunities to hike, ATV, and bike right from your front door? Look no further than the 12 Mile Ranch. This home is located on 3 private acres, less than a mile from the Blue Bird ATV/UTV trailhead, and surrounded by national forest. Watch the visiting wildlife and enjoy the views from the beautiful picture windows or unwind in the evenings after sightseeing. 12 Mile Ranch is completely furnished, including towels and linens, with 2 bedrooms (queen beds in each) a bonus space for the kids with a bunk bed, and 2 bathrooms. It is a cozy historic home with everything you need in one place.
Note: There are 7.7 miles of gravel which makes this a difficult home to ride a motorcycle to. The rate for this home during the Sturgis Rally is discounted as it's not ideal for motorcyclists.
12 Mile Ranch has a rich history in Custer County and the southern Black Hills. Founded in 1884 by local miner Joseph Heumphreus, 12 Mile Ranch — so named for its distance from the town of Custer — served as a stage stop in the 1880s on the Cheyenne-to-Deadwood Stagecoach Line, boarding travelers making their way to and from Deadwood in the waning years of the Black Hills Gold Rush. Later the Heumphreus family raised horses and cattle, and became prominent fixtures in the Custer community. From the late 1920s to the early 1950s 12 Mile served as a dude ranch, hosting hundreds of visitors from around the country seeking an authentic experience in the American West. Today the ranch is owned by fifth-generation descendants of Joseph Heumphreus, making 12 Mile one of the oldest ranches in the Black Hills that is still in the same family as its founders.

Summary: We enjoyed the house and property, loved the rural setting. Simple and straight forward checkin and good communication. Check the history on this place if you're staying here. We are used to dirt roads and didn't bother us, be aware it is 8 miles back a dusty road.
