quiet getaway with hiking access

Lovely cabin! Quiet hideaway, but close to other attractions. Loved that we were close to the Mickelson trail. The host was very helpful with our questions, and did a great job of making us feel welcome.

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

Beautiful cozy cabin right in the mountains.Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and wonderful deckviews of the mountains. Loved staying here and having the quiet beauty. Hearing the stream below, and seeing fawns playing in the yard were an added blessing. Though we didn't bike or hike the Michelson Trail, it has close access. Great place for our family.

Good times

Beautiful location, it was everything we were looking for, the only thing that was of concern was the shower on first floor with getting the temp right and still be able to conserve water, but the surrounding and location made up for any inconveniences

Wonderful

We absolutely loved our stay at the Roth cabin....we were concerned at first with the steepness of the drive but made it fine.....it was an experience conserving the water but it made us realize how we take things for granted.....atving trails were near by and weather was great.....loved watching the deer come through the yard every a.m......thanks again

Outstanding Cabin

My wife and I spent two wonderful weeks here. The cabin met all of our expectations and then some. We especially liked cloud- watching on the upper deck. The cabin is quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk down the hill to historic Rochford and the infamous Moonshine Gulch Tavern where local musicians gather every Sunday afternoon for entertaining jam sessions. Owners/hosts are great and we loved the generous welcome basket and music waiting for us when we arrived. This cabin has everything you need for a short or extended stay. Thanks, Roths, for sharing your lovely retreat. I would give Six Stars if I could. Rick and Pat

the REAL Black Hills of South Dakota

If you desire beautiful seclusion, this cabin and it's location gives the best of what the Black Hills has to offer: the Mickelson bike trail from Rochford to Hill City is breath-taking, with waterfalls, tunnels, wildlife and scenery galore; watch the sunrise and wildlife, and listen to the birds and the creek from one of two spacious decks outside; and inside, you'll find all the amenities you desire. We honestly did not want to leave. No cell phone service was a plus in my view, but drive a few miles north, and you can have that, too. The small town of Rochford was delightful, also. Great faces, great places, as they say. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place.

Beautiful Cabin on a Hill

Wonderful place to stay with great hosts. Beautiful views and everything you need to sit back and relax. Cabin is on a steep hill which my Jeep loved! But my Daughters car not so much. Once you learned the tricks it was a breeze to navigate. Would definitely rent again if we are on the area.

Beautiful Cabin, Off the beaten path.

Beautiful Cabin located in Rochford. Nice and quiet with wild life frequenting. Close to the Lead and Deadwood area. If you are going south it is 11 miles of gravel, but the road is good and about 45 minutes to Hill City area. If you're heading north it is perfect. The driveway is graveled and fairly steep, but doable. If you want some family time away from the noise you could not do better. Overall we loved the time there. Al and Rosemary are very nice people.

a GOOD TIME IN THE hILLS

iT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY, REALLY NICE. I DO HAVE ONE COMPLANT THOUGH, THE RUTTY GRAVEL DRIVE LEADING UP TO THE CABIN LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED, IT WOULD SCARE AND CONFUSE MOST OLDER PEOPLE AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW THAT WITH FEW EXCEPTION, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ON TWISTY, WINEDY ROADS FOR TEN MILES, COMING AND GOING.

Rochford cabin review

It was a pleasure visiting with Rosemary prior to our trip. Cabin was very clean and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning and evenings watching the deer and chipmunks. The location was a challenge getting to some of our sites we wanted to see but very doable. The goodie basket that was there when we arrived was a very special treat.
