Beautiful Off-Grid Living @ Granny Flats

Welcome! Cappie, star of two episodes of Discovery Channel's Building-Off-The-Grid and co-host of Magnolia Network’s Building Outside the Lines, built this adorable off-grid cottage as his own, but now you have the opportunity to stay!

This beautiful 3-acre property, once the Swisher Farm, is today a working homestead, with dozens of chickens and a large garden. This quiet oasis is located within the city of Spearfish.

This cottage is handmade, from the bespoke front door to the custom 2-headed shower. We know you'll appreciate the details!

Unique House
Very peaceful location. House was clean. Has large yard and would be great area to sit outside at night on a summer night. Hosts were attentive and prompt when we requested additional firewood for the wood burning stove. Had four fawns visit one evening. Spent all waking hours sight seeing and visiting attractions. If you have not experienced a self recycling toilet, you may be surprised. But I must say, due to the way the toilet vents there is absolutely no odor. The bed and toilet sit high, so those that are elderly or have physical limitations may find getting in bed or on the toilet a little challenging. None the less, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Tiny House on Steroids
My wife and I were out for a visit to see our new grandchild, but our trip was cut short by weather and so I'm offering this review after only one night's stay. This property is like visiting one of the "wonders of the world". The engineering that went into the design and construction of this property in trying to make it Earth friendly is amazing. Be ready to step back in time. "Off the Grid" is more than a description; it's a warning. The same concepts that make this property such an endearing and novel stay are the same things that will also require you to remember that there are certain expected (but possibly forgotten) things that will require you to do more than push a button to get it done. I highly recommend this property, but make good use of your hostess in determining if it's right for you before booking. (She's quite nice and very helpful). It's not for just anyone IMHO. Cheers!

Cozy Spearfish Getaway
We stayed here while in town for a wedding. The cabin is very beautiful, cozy, and in a convenient location to town. It was a perfect place to unwind for a few nights among all the family activities. We particularly enjoyed the comfy living room, the views, and the tree house! A small note for those considering this property: the creekside hot tub shown in the listing does not appear to exist anymore, but a very cool looking wood-fired sauna is available instead. Additionally, this cabin would not be good for anyone with mobility issues, as the bed and composting toilet are quite high off the ground. Otherwise, this place is a lovely little spot for a getaway!

I wish we stayed longer!
My husband & I had a short stay as we were splitting our drive to a week long vacation in Montana. This home/property is so cute & the beautiful scenery is to die for. We saw many deer & other wildlife wondering the property. It was a great stay & I highly recommend!

Quiet location
This property is in great condition, but is not for people with mobility issues. The bed and toilet require a step stool to use and the bed is against a wall. You have to crawl over the other person to get out. But, the bed is very comfortable. Also, no bedside table (difficult if you use a CPAP). There are no doors on the bathroom or bedroom. Not a big problem for us, but might be for some. The curtains don't block any light. The location is great. Very quiet and close to a walking path. Nice place, but not our cup of tea.

Uniquely Amazing Experience
This property was unique and whimsicle. The cobb house was so fun but the part we enjoyed the most was the tub in the creek and the swing right by it. It's where my friend and I spent the most time. Easeful check in, clean space. Don't let the toilet scare you. It works just fine and doesn’t smell one bit! Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Property and Amazing Owners
Oh my gosh!! This property was amazing… I only stayed one night but wish I stayed longer. Me and my friend really enjoyed the sauna along with the beautiful land. The owners were extremely friendly! When I come back to the hills I will definitely be staying here again.
