About this property

Unique property bordering the Black Hills National Forest on 3 sides with an easy access county road on the other, the cabin features a full bathroom, a full kitchen, a queen-sized bed in a studio setting, and a comfortable, reclining couch. Although just minutes from Custer, you're truly in the country with hundreds of thousands of connected Forest Service acres to explore or simply view from the front porch. The cabin makes a great location as a home base for touring the many sites of the Black Hills.

The cabin is fully furnished with high-speed fiber internet (great work from home location), expansive DirecTv package (also Roku with guest mode to bring your own streaming channels, too), air conditioner, kitchen appliances, flatware, linens, towels, and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Professionally cleaned and laundered between stays.

Rarely you'll find a single or couples cabin in the Hills on an acreage where you aren't sharing the property with other cabins and guests, but here you'll be completely alone as you'll have the entire property to yourself to experience the peace and tranquility of the Black Hills in a way you may not have thought was possible. Step out the cabin door to hike the adjoining Forest Service land just a few yards up the hill for a spectacular view of Crazy Horse!

Spectacular

This is our second time starting in this cozy little cabin. It is perfect for my husband and myself and our little dog. It is furnished with every thing we need and so welcoming with treats on the counter and cheesecake in the fridge. Don and Terri are there for whatever you need to make sure your stay is the best it can be!

Ideal stay in every way

We are two friends along with Abby, the dog. This was tied for the top two rentals to-date. Absolutely not a thing wanting. Don and Terri are the best hosts yet. Everything in the cabin works and is very good value. Cooking is a dream. Abby was able to roam freely around the property and loved it. This cabin is highly recommended. We will return.

My husband said , of all the places we have ever stayed, this was my favorite! And we are over 80

We loved the privacy. We. Couldn’t believe all the things available to us to make our stay at the cabin more comfortable. Everything you could think of was there, not to mention the food in cupboards and freezer if we needed it. We loved how cute it was!

Black hills getaway

We decided to spend a few days in the Black Hills enroute to Wyoming to see our daughter and family. We wanted something secluded, cozy and close to Black Hilks attractions. Don and Terri's cabin had everything we wanted, and more. We loved it and will come again for sure!! Don and Terri were excellent, thoughtful and responsive hosts. We will for sure come again!!

Comfy cabin

A perfect cabin for two, thoughtful amenities and things that work well. Great porch and grill even a gas fire pit! The owners made every thing easy and really kept us informed. Handy to town but remote enough to be very private. We had a good get away here! I Highly recommend it for a peace and quiet stay away.

Anniversary get-away

A perfect location for us and our dog. We wanted to be in a scenic area with privacy but not too far away from town. The cabin was very clean and exceptionally well stocked. We cooked several meals and had all the utensils and cookware we needed. We would certainly stay there again!

Home away from home

The property is well located to all of the must-see places in the black hills. We were out all day, and it was a great place to come back to and rest and rejuvenate for the next day's adventure. The cabin is well stocked with anything you will need and didn't realize you need. I wanted a scissors and opened a drawer, there was some scissors. The shower was great temperature and water flow. Perfect home away from home for 2. We would definitely book again!

Custer visit

It was a very lovely cabin set in a beautiful wooded setting. The cabin was absolutely clean and I loved how well everything you might need was there! It was a very quiet area and close enough to town to go in and visit my friends as well as to go hike the beautiful mountains around the area!

Great Custer get away.

First off the cabin has a great bed, well stocked kitchen, nice porch and bathroom. Located minutes from Custer and you can see Crazy Horse from where you turn off the highway. The gravel road you use to get to the cabin is wide and well maintained. We will stay there again in the future.

Cute Cabin in the woods

We absolutely loved our stay in this cabin! The cabin was well stocked with everything you need or may not know you need. The owners went above and beyond to insure you had everything you needed to make your vacation great. The location was a perfect spot to explore several different sights. It was great to come back to the cabin to relax after a day of exploring. I would definitely recommend.

Great Trip

We had a great trip. Don and Terri have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, with lots of extras you might have forgotten. They checked on us and made sure we knew we could reach out with questions or assistance. My Husband and I hiked the short hill behind the cabin. The view is worth it, beautiful. We have and will recommend this cabin to family and friends. The cabin is very well located for everything we wanted to do or see, very short drive to Custer for restaurants or groceries.

Cozy Cabin Getaway

This cabin is amazing! Don and Terri (the owners) truly go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The cabin itself is very clean and has so many amenities. It was cool and rainy one of the days we were there and it was so cozy in the cabin! It's the perfect size for two people (and our dog). The location is great -- it's very quiet and peaceful, yet within 10 minutes you can be in downtown Custer. We loved having coffee in the mornings on the porch, looking directly at Black Hills National Forest just steps away. We're already talking about going back!

Honeymoon Destination

We were above and beyond pleased with our accommodations! Perfect and private setting for a romantic getaway. But still close enough to any attractions and adventures you could want. Don and Terri were wonderful hosts and had an open line of communication, however, we didn’t need it because honestly everything was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Don & Terri

As lifelong South Dakotans, and longtime residents of the Black Hills looking for a recreational property of our own, we fell in love with everything about this cabin and location, and knew we wanted to own it. The previous owner put years of hard work into first creating a property for himself before making it a 5 star-rated VRBO. He enjoyed sharing it with others so we wanted to honor his effort by continuing to do so in a very similar fashion.

Why they chose this property

The Black Hills of South Dakota have a tranquil feel not easily recreated in many other places. This property, in particular, has a very convenient location on an easily accessible, but quiet, country road while bordering thousands of acres of Black Hills National Forest land on the other 3 sides. All the best attractions are a close drive but the seclusion of this property will likely make you want to soak up the peace and quiet very few locations can offer.

What makes this property unique

Finding a vacation property without 'neighbors' vacationing in the same place isn't a common occurrence but you are very much alone with the wildlife here while also being just minutes from Custer and other amenities. Also rare is relatively flat parking that can accommodate larger vehicles with trailers.
