About this property

Marshall Gulch Getaway is an authentic hand-hewn log cabin overlooking a serene valley on 7 acres just 2 miles outside of Hill City. A mountain creek flows within view below the cabin. Deer and turkeys are frequent visitors in the yard! The cabin is tastefully decorated with décor fitting the mountain atmosphere. This cozy cabin has a king size log bed in the loft, and a double bed on the main floor bedroom. We allow a max of 4 adults in this rental. If a third sleeping area is needed for a child, you may bring an air mattress and necessary linens. The kitchen is spacious for a family of 4-5.

There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo and laundry accommodations with washer and dryer. The loft bedroom has a window AC. Board games and playing cards available for rainy or snowy days. There is a 47-inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room, along with a real wood burning fireplace! (And electric heat throughout). We supply a starter supply of firewood, and you can purchase extra at a local grocery store.

The covered front porch is a favorite of guests to sit and watch the wildlife and let the day slip away. Around back is patio with a Gas Log fire-pit that has plenty of outdoor seating to have your morning coffee, outdoor meals, or just sit and watch wildlife. A propane grill is also provided. This cabin sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking the valley below with views of Black Elk Peak. But, the drive to this cabin is a piece of cake and parking is plentiful. Large grassy lawn with plenty of space to roam. This rental is a time-honored favorite for repeat guests. The cabin no longer has a hot tub as seen in some of the pictures and the virtual tour.

NO PETS/NO SMOKING. NO TENTS or additional people camping outdoors! No exceptions!

Centrally located in the Black Hills, about 15-20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park, Sheridan, Pactola and Deerfield lakes and the majority of all attractions!

Cabin Review

Everything was great! Great location to town and seeing all the deer is a plus too :) There was not a hottub as it listed and showed in the pictures, but that is the only thing that we were bummed about with this property.

Four days in the Black Hills

Amazing! Well-appointed, well-maintained, well-stocked and just perfect for our (husband and my) first time in SD. Comfortable, beautiful, and absolutely stress-free basecamp for our daily hiking in the area. The owners have thought of every little detail to make a stay total relaxation. We cooked a little and had a fire in the fireplace. Loved looking out the main room picture window during morning coffee and playing cards in the kitchen in the evening. Don’t have a single negative to share. We definitely imagined coming back again!

About the host

Hosted by David and Teresa

We are a hard working couple who love having time to relax and get away in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Disappearing in the forest for hours on end has become a hobby. Hill City won our hearts when we were looking for a property of our own and we have adopted it as our second hometown. We have had this property since 2012 and have enjoyed sharing its magic with all our guests. It feels miles away from the hustle and bustle and is the perfect place for doing absolutely nothing. But, it is only 2 miles from downtown Hill City and only minutes from all the major Black Hills attractions. We are thrilled to welcome you as our guests!
