Relaxing Riverview House with stunning view and HOT TUB. Take advantage of our great location and quiet setting nestled in the trees along the Sioux River. Small town services are only 10 minutes away and city shopping and entertainment is less than 20 minutes. You will have access to the Sioux River for canoeing, kayaking, fishing or just hiking by the river. (Outdoor activity equipment is not provided, you must bring your own). Due to the ever-changing depth and currents of the Big Sioux River, river access at times might be a little rustic. This is certainly not a drive up beach.
The space
Staying here you will be off the beaten path, the quiet is astonishing and the night time sky is amazing! Since this is a home and not a hotel, we ask that you leave it as you found it, except we take care of laundering linens and towels. AND, if you have questions we are available at all times.
Guest access
You have the use of the entire house and 4 acres of property surrounding the house. In late November and early December you will be able to spend a quiet night in the house and on the weekends you can be first in line to experience cutting your own Christmas tree before heading home. Tree cutting is only available during those weekends the tree farm is officially open. You can check their schedule at riverviewtreefarm.com, If you are not sure please ask.
Other things to note
Please note that the Last weekend in September and first two weekends of October the tree farm hosts their annual Pumpkin Festival. On those weekends the daytime crowds at the adjacent tree farm can be large. Evenings are quiet. Come to join the Party and stay at the house! Otherwise the property is located on a gravel road but that increases your privacy and NO TRAFFIC! Hear the nature that surrounds you in the country. We are also less than 20 minutes form 2 state parks.
Also note that November means deer hunting in South Dakota. Be aware that early morning and the hours before sunset may have active hunting occurring on surrounding properties. Hearing gun shots is not uncommon and completely normal for this area. The house adjoins The Riverview Christmas Tree Farm (thus the name). During the summer months the heavy foliage of the river bottom will block a direct view of the river from the house, but the river is only a short hike away.
