David and Sarah were amazing hosts and the property couldn't have been better! All the reviews about a beautiful property and well-stocked kitchen were accurate! There was also plenty of parking for our three trucks, two trailers and four SxSs. Access to the trails was right there, which we loved. We enjoyed lots of time on the deck, in the hot tub, playing cornhole (they provided) and other yard games (that we brought), and playing cards at the perfect 8-seater table downstairs when we weren't out riding.
Sleep with the windows open if it's not too cold and you can hear the creek. Just awesome. Of course we had lots of rain so the water was high and moving pretty good, it seemed.
French Creek Farm provided all we could ever need the day it was raining too hard to trail ride. This property is the perfect distance to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Hill City, Custer State Park and many of the random trails in the Black Hills. We put on 70-80 miles each day we rode.
While we missed the yaks, we enjoyed Gypsy and Wyatt the horses, and saw other wildlife throughout our 5 night stay (a few marmots, 3 deer, 2 turkeys, lots of birds and chipmunks, and even a coyote our last morning). We never did have a fire, but only because it was either too wet or we were too exhausted from all our fun!
We also appreciated the reasonable price and can't wait to go back when the yaks are there! Thank you Dave and Sarah for sharing this piece of heaven with us!
