We're a mature couple making a long distance relationship work. I retired from the foreign service and work part time in a local hotel in Deadwood and Celeste has a house painting business a couple hours south in Chadron NE. We love to travel and had our first home exchange last summer (2018) that went very well. We'd be willing to incorporate Celeste's home in Chadron into an exchange as well so you'd have the opportunity to visit two interesting areas during one exchange.

The pictures we saw of his home and the area did not do justice to the beauty of the Black Hills and his comfortable home.The wildlife was abundant and we were able to visit numerous monuments. We highly recommend this exchange.

His beautiful house exceeded our expectations and we have enjoyed the full 3 weeks. The environment is breathtaking and nature is overwhelming.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our beautiful home is located just 4 miles south of historic Deadwood in the quiet and less touristy northern Black Hills. It is situated on 4 wooded acres with a stunning view as can be seen in the pictures. From the deck on a clear day you can see the highest peak in the Hills (Black Elk Peak) 30+ miles distant. Though close to town it feels very isolated with nary a single man-made light visible to the front. Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Woodpeckers, Squirrels and Chipmunks are constant visitors and most days deer and turkey will stop by to visit. If you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind and enjoy nature it’s the perfect place for you.
The comfortably furnished and nicely detailed space includes 2 wood burning stoves/fireplaces, hardwood/ slate floors and lots and lots of windows which can make you feel as though you're in a tree house. The home also features a mix of eclectic artwork and décor from time spent living and working overseas. Sliding doors off the great room and french doors off the master bedroom offer easy access to the extra-large multi-level outdoor deck with hot tub. Relaxing in the hot tub under the impressive night skies is an unforgettable way to unwind after a great day hiking in the Hills, visiting Mount Rushmore or the world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or testing your luck in the Deadwood casinos.
The house has two independent levels. The upper level is the principal residence with a great room, a very spacious master bedroom, a mini-loft with a sleeping area and a full kitchen and laundry. The lower level originally was a garage and was redone into a very nice open living space with a king bed, 2 barnwood futons, a full bath and a microwave and fridge.
