About this property
Secluded Black Hills Studio Cabin Near Crazy Horse and Custer State Park
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!

Everything we had hoped for, beautiful spot, homey cabin, very accommodating, host and hostess always check in to make sure things are ok..scenery was so peaceful..couldn't have asked for anything else and is centrally located to Rushmore, Crazy Horse..We loved it..
Over the top! Located close to all attractions yet secluded and private. Cabin is perfect for 2 people and was fully stocked with everything you would need. Don & Terri are wonderful hosts.
This is a Charming cabin! I wish we could plan to come back but we live in California and don't get to South Dakota often. Everything you could possibly want is provided plus some things you didn't even know you wanted! They had frozen pizzas which we Did use but replaced before we left. They had fixings for S'More's!!! The cabin is Very comfortable, very clean. Loved it!
Very good communication from the hosts and our stay was fantastic. Very nice location with a place to hike literally steps from the cabin with great views! We will be back!!
We enjoyed our stay in the Black Hills. The cabin was just perfect for us and our dog, very peaceful and scenic. Everything was top notch in the cabin and the host was friendly and responsive to any questions. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get away!
I cannot imagine how this stay could have been any better. We felt so welcome. The cabin was spotless and the extra touches were so thoughtful. Thank you for sharing your retreat
What a relaxing home away from home! Clean, well stocked cabin in a private setting- in the black hills!

This was our second time staying here and we already are thinking about next time. We love the location. It is close to all the attractions, yet very private. We love our time here!!
We loved everything about our cabin and our hosts were outstanding. We would give ten stars if we could. Awesome location near many points of interest.

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.
