About this property
The Mineshaft - Secluded Cabin with Trailer Parking
Relax in our quiet valley after a great day in the Hills!
At 6,000 feet elevation, the air always cools off at night and the view is always pristine. With decks on three sides you can sit in the sun or gaze in the shade. Big beds, lots of room, easy parking, and only about 3 minutes from town. 4-wheel right from the cabin or hop down the road to the Mickelson Trail. Get away to the peace and quiet after a day of checking out the beautiful Black Hills or stay the day amidst the evergreens.
Within minutes of Lead and Deadwood, there's always entertainment, great food and unending sites to take in close to home or travel a little further through Boulder Canyon to Sturgis or through Spearfish Canyon to Spearfish.
The cabin is about three miles from Cheyenne Crossing and the entrance to Spearfish Canyon where you can take in waterfalls, fine dining, hike to the Devil's Bathtub, or just enjoy the wonderful drive.
Closer yet, the Englewood Trailhead is right down the road and provides easy access to the Mickelson Trail for hiking or biking.
We love sharing our cabin with vacationers. We used to rent often so we know what renters are looking for and we believe it's all here!
We are local and will gladly provide assistance throughout your stay as needed. Once your getaway is booked we will provide you with a phone number so that we can keep in touch.
Thank you for your interest. We know you'll love this cabin as much as we do!
THE SPACE:
Spacious 3-level cabin with room for everyone!
The upper level of this cabin is a large loft bedroom (Bedroom #1) that overlooks the living room / kitchen / dining area. No worries about lack of privacy, as the stairway and half-walls block the view from guests below. A king bed, walk-in closet, and private bathroom made this bedroom an oasis!
On the main level you'll find the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Although small in size, this kitchen can do everything! Cook a dinner to enjoy in the adjacent dining room (which seats eight) or grill a meal for an evening out on the expansive deck. The living room has enough comfortable seating for all with a sofa, loveseat, easy chair, and two rockers.
Also located on the main level is Bedroom #2 (with cozy wood walls and a king size bed); Bedroom #3 (newly renovated with a king size bed) and the main bathroom.
The lower level of the cabin provides a large entrance area, perfect for unloading your gear after a day of play. Bedroom #4 (with a queen bed, recliner, and television) shares this area. Guests will have access to a washer and dryer in the adjacent laundry room.
Outside, watch the deer graze across the valley in the morning sun. Take in the fresh mountain air as Whitewood Creek babbles in the background. Hooting owls provide the nightly soundtrack as brilliant stars dance in the wide-open skies.
GUEST ACCESS:
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
**PARKING - we have plenty of it! Vehicles may be parked on the driveway behind the cabin (near the upper entrance); on the level parking pad near the bottom entrance; or on our portion of property across Englewood Road. Bring your toys and trailers!
In case of inclement weather you may also park motorcycles on the cement under the deck.
**ROADS - There is about 2 miles of hard-packed gravel leading to the cabin.
**FIRES - There is a propane-fueled firepit on the deck. No camp fires are allowed by the state without a burning permit which can only be used in the snow.
The cabin has a fireplace on the main level and a pellet stove on the lower level. Guests will not have access to these during the summer.

About the host

We love sharing our cabin with vacationers. We used to rent often so we know what renters are looking for and we believe it's all here!
Why they chose this property
A lovely cabin with great architectural features and every comfort you could want. Watch deer from the deck in the early mornings and dusky evenings. Listen to owls and watch the stars without city lights interfering.
What makes this property unique
It's rare to find an easily-accessible cabin, in the woods, that also has parking for trailers. Bring your toys and venture out right from the cabin!
