Welcome to the Black Hills
Peaceful by night, an adventure by day.
This family-run cabin sits on top of a 2.5-acre hill with a direct view of the Needles rock formation and Black Elk Peak — the highest point in South Dakota.
Most mornings a large number of deer can be spotted across the valley, and it's common to find them right outside the door. Inside you'll find a full kitchen, comfortable beds, in-unit laundry, fast Wi-Fi and a split AC/heat system, so it feels like home in every season.
Sleeps 5–6 comfortably, with room for up to 7. Guests have the whole place to themselves.

The location is quiet and peaceful with a view of great Black Hills scenery. It's very close to the west entrance of Custer State Park. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with dishes and cooking essentials.
Absolutely the cutest cabin. Beautiful, private setting. Right by the entrance to Custer State Park. Well equipped kitchen with great pans. Felt like home.
We loved our stay. Very peaceful location. Enjoyed cooking in the lovely kitchen. Perfect location for what we wanted to do in the Black Hills.
This house is an excellent location, cozy, and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable, there were lots of towels, and the washer and dryer were very much appreciated.
