About this property

Summer fills fast, a best kept secret is early spring SALE! Check GREAT rates!

Make my home your home for your get away, and enjoy relaxation and time together. The outdoors off my back deck, the trails nearby, and ribbons of paved black top are your gateway to the Black Hills.

Looking for someplace to call home when getting away from it all? Old No. 7 Place has everything you need for a weekend getaway, family vacation, or adventure-filled holiday. We are just minutes from all of the Northern Hills attractions.

As you wind up my private drive you will cast your eyes on my 5-bedroom 5-bath true log home nestled among the pine and the aspen. All linens and paper goods are supplied - simply pack your toiletries and groceries and let me take care of the rest. the warm, dry basement is even stocked with cut firewood for the 2 wood burning fireplaces.

The MAIN LEVEL features an impressive great room spotlighting an inviting wood burning fireplace and a 30’ wall of windows overlooking the Black Hills National Forest. You will love cooking and laughing with your entire group in our kitchen. There’s room for everyone in our spacious, well-equipped kitchen - you won’t want for anything. The dining room will seat all 14 of you at once so you can enjoy your meals together. A window seat provides extra dining room seating, a place to enjoy a beverage while overlooking the forest , or reading a book. The tile floors are also heated. The master suite is its own getaway with a king sized Sleep Number bed, another wood fireplace, large walk-in double shower and soaking tub with a view. You also have direct access to the hot tub. There’s a laundry / mud room to store all of your "stuff" and keep it out of sight during your stay. A powder room is convenient for all guests. For those who don't do stairs, we have all amenities on one level. Relax in the seclusion of my log home, taking in the serene wilderness as you hear the wind whistle through the trees or laze before the wall of windows taking pleasure in a crackling wood fire.

The UPPER LEVEL has 2 more bedrooms with a shared bath. There is a lot of flexibility in sleeping arrangements in case Mom & Dad need to be near little ones - one room is a queen bed and the other has 2 XL twin beds that can convert to a king bed. The loft boasts so much space with a reading spot, a game table and a TV room with more games, movies and books. There’s an additional powder room for the loft area that works great if the full bath on that floor is occupied. Fun, fun, fun is the name of the game up here.

The pride and joy of the LOWER LEVEL is the log bunk room! With two built-in bunks holding 2 twin beds each and a double bed connected to them it is the most unique room of my home. What a great hideout for the kids (BIG OR SMALL) on your trip, or maybe a retreat for the single people in your group. Another bedroom with a queen sized bed shares a full bath with a double vanity. For movie enthusiasts, there is a big screen TV with home theater in the family room. Not your typical cold basement, the entire lower level has heated floors in the colder months.

The spacious deck, spanning the entire length of my home, is perfect for entertaining day or night. Soak in the hot tub while enjoying a cup of morning coffee while you watch the sun crest the mountaintop horizon or after of day of adventures. And ohhh, the STARS, you've never seen so many stars at night. Host your summer outdoor meals while overlooking the vast scenery in which our home is located. I’m sure you’ll catch a glimpse of some wildlife any time of year.

Our favorite place to go!

This is the second time we have visited Old No. 7 and we are already planning a third! This cabin as more than enough space for our two families getting together and is in such a quiet and pristine area. It has all the space and the amenities we need for a fantastic getaway. We have stayed in numerous VRBO's and other rentals over the years and this is hands down still our favorite! Jason is easy to work with and we look forward to a return visit.

Great home for family vacation

The house is well designed to handle a large family gathering. With 5 bedrooms and 3 living areas there was plenty of room to spread out and come together. The property itself is secluded in the back of a large neighborhood. We saw wildlife every day. The house was clean, well stocked and the sleep number king size bed was dreamy

About the host

Hosted by Jason Erickson, Owner

Host profile image
I've lived in South Dakota all of my life and grew to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Black Hills. The kids don't remember us NOT coming here. Since 1990, I've been attending the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and vacationing in the area other times of the year.

As time went on and families grew we started renting a big house and bringing 2 or 3 other families, with all their kids, along with us. The grown-ups got bedrooms with beds, the kids got what was left over. Those were some of the BEST vacations we've taken.

My home was 3 years in the planning stages, and it took over a year to build. In the design process, I kept trying to make the house smaller, but I kept coming back to what fun it is to have a gathering place, all under one roof.

Today: the kids want to bring friends along with us for the weekends. We also have lots of families that we've shared the Black Hills with, and why shouldn't they come and stay with us in our home? All three children now travel with friends to show off Old No. 7 Place and their love of the Black Hills. This home was a vision. I hope you enjoy sharing it with me.

Why they chose this property

There's no humidity, there aren't many bugs, there's not much wind, things are a little more laid back, and there's such a wide variety of things to do. In the spring months, we have literally skied one day at Terry Peak and golfed the next in Rapid City, less than an hour away. And Fall in Spearfish Canyon, it just takes your breath away. Motorcycling is what brought me here. It's the best 2-wheeled riding in the state. But what kept us coming back, is that no matter which home I rented, I was AWAY FROM IT ALL. There's no place that relaxes me more than being in the Hills, and no other place I miss more when I leave.

What makes this property unique

Convenience of being near a town while staying in a secluded forest with views.
Easy Access on Paved Roads off Major Highway
HUGE Stocked Kitchen
All Guests Can Eat Meals Together
Multiple Living Areas
Log Bunk Room
Trailer Turnaround Space
