About this property

Hand-Hewn Log Cabin on 21 Secluded Acres. 1 Mile from Wind Cave NP

Relax and reinvigorate on 21 secluded acres outside of Custer, SD. Beaver Creek Lodge has oversized hand-hewn logs, vaulted ceilings, and artistic finishes truly make this cabin something to behold. Immerse yourself in nature when you enjoy South Dakota mornings and sunsets on the wraparound deck or any of the three private balconies. It’s set on 21 private, wooded acres on a scenic hillside, above Beaver Creek, which meanders through a lush meadow below. Explore the creek itself and see the wildlife it attracts year-round including deer, cows, chipmunks, birds, wild turkeys, the occasional elk, and, of course, beavers! Be sure to visit Wind Cave Park, just 1 mile down the road, and Custer State Park, 6 miles away, to witness wild herds of buffalo and elk which migrate through the area. You’re also 1.5 miles east of HWY 87, better known as the beautiful Needles Highway.

The interior of this charming cabin is handcrafted with rustic log walls and warm pine accents. Cozy up in front of the stone fireplace, built by the owner herself, and enjoy all of the modern conveniences to make for a rejuvenating stay. The main level is equipped with a full kitchen and any appliances you’ll need, coffee for the morning or a grill for the evening. Enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar or sit down for a meal at the formal dining table. The living room is encased with giant, view windows and patio doors to access the deck. The Master Bedroom with a walk-in closet, private bath, and secluded private deck is also on the main level, as well as an accessible half-bath.

On the second floor, you’ll find a loft area overlook, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Each bedroom has patio doors to its own cozy, private balcony.

The walk-out basement boasts a large family room with a wet bar, pool table, and patio doors to a covered patio. There’s an additional bedroom downstairs with a full bath, for privacy and additional relaxing space.

Arrive as you are and leave feeling as peaceful. We think you’ll like it here.

Please note this house requires 4WD/AWD in the winter

A great secluded spot for a Family Trip
We stayed at the Cabin in Late April and really enjoyed the area. The cabin was super clean and a perfect size for our family. The host was excellent and provided all the essentials we needed as well as good communication. On the southern end of the major black hills attractions, it is just about 1 mile from the cabin to enter the wildlife rich wind cave national park area and then just a short drive from there to Custer state park. Plenty of wildlife right on the property too. We had wild turkeys on the porch one morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay!
This is a great property—super location to most Black Hills outdoor fun. A log house to envy. The negatives are nit-picky—driveway is steep but if you know what you are doing, no problem. Kitchen is a little small for big family dinner efforts, but we made it work. We will come back. Oh yeah, ethernet cable right next to commode in master bedroom for folks who need that sort of multi-tasking!

Exactly what I was looking for.
Looking for a remote cabin in the woods and found it, It's remote but everything you want to do is within an hour of its location. Very close to Custer state park. Very nice management. Clean and comfortable. Has all the kitchen ware you need. Responded quickly to questions. Beautiful view, makes you want to get up early, sit on the deck with your coffee and watch the sun rise. Worth the the price. Quite, peaceful and beautiful.

We stayed here 9 years ago when our kids were still at home. We have planned an annual trip now with friends and decided to stay here. It was just like we remembered it 9 years ago. Great location, easy to find, close to most attractions. Cabin is set up perfect for our 3 couples.

Our stay with old friends was indeed wonderful there. And viewing the night sky was perfect because we were so far away from anything. Maybe too far at times, as we spent more time in the car than planned. But other than that it was great!

No problem. Reserve early. Great escape from the hussle and bussle of the motorcycle rally. Fair warning, the driveway is steep and gravel. Ruts and gravel and motorcycles don’t mix as motorcycle people know. Otherwise, absolute beautiful! 5 stars for sure.

Beautiful cabin in Custer
The property was perfect for our 3 family group. We were all able to have our own areas to relax in. Teens enjoyed the pool table and adults loved being able to sit on the deck. It was nice to have 3 full baths. Cabin is conveniently located to all the attractions. We went to Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, over to Devils Tower, Deadwood, etc. Kids and adults all had a wonderful time. Thank you Jody and Shane!

Seclusion at its finest!
After days out and about exploring The Badlands, Mt Rushmore and small towns of Custer and Hill City we came home to a quiet oasis in the woods on a hill. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The t.v. was not turned on once due to fun board games and puzzles that were at our convenience. Plus the awesome pool table!! The fireplace set the ambiance each night while looking at the beautiful stars in the sky. Waking up to deer all around the yard was awesome!! Jody was an amazing host and had no problems answering all our questions. This cabin fit our family of 8 with room to spare!

Hi there! We are Shane and Kianna Binger and we own TrailHound Cabin Co. We’re just a couple of trailhounds who visited the Black Hills and decided to stay forever. We think you’ll like it too. Whether it’s the sightseeing or outdoor activities, there’s a little something for everyone.

We’ve been together since 2013 and tied the knot in scenic Spearfish Park. Kia is local – sort of. She’s from Philip, South Dakota, near the Badlands, and her parents have hand-painted the Wall Drug signs since 1991. Shane grew up on the other side of the state on a farm near Tulare, South Dakota. We actually met on a school trip to Washington, DC, so traveling has always been close to our hearts! In our free time, we love hiking, kayaking, basically anything outdoors, and traveling to new places. Come visit us and we’ll show you some of our favorite Black Hills destinations!

Why they chose this property

Set on 21 acres of private wooded land, on a hillside overlooking Beaver Creek, this is the ultimate experience for wildlife lovers and photographers. You’re located just 5 miles from Custer State Park and 1 mile from Wind Cave Park, meaning you won’t have to travel far to witness herds of wild Elk and Bison! The cabin itself showcases oversized hand-hewn logs, vaulted ceilings, and artistic finishes with a wraparound deck and three private balconies.

What makes this property unique

Experience rustic luxury at Beaver Creek Lodge, boasting oversized hand-hewn logs, vaulted ceilings, and artistic finishes. Enjoy the scenic hillside location, set on 21 private wooded acres, featuring a wraparound deck and three private balconies with serene views of Beaver Creek and its year-round wildlife. Located just 1 mile from Wind Cave Park and 6 miles from Custer State Park, you'll have easy access to buffalo and elk sightings. Plus, the beautiful Needles Highway is only 1.5 miles away for even more natural wonders to explore.
