About this property

Cozy cabin near all the attractions in the Heart of the Hills! Pet friendly!

"I can not begin to tell you how amazing our stay was. Beds, kitchen gadgets, house furnishings, location, outdoor extras... I literally can not say enough good things. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!! The space and location are amazing!!" - Heather R.

The Aspen Hollow Cabin is a clean, cozy, unique and thoughtfully decorated Black Hills vacation home featuring three main floor bedrooms. The master suite contains a king size bed and a private bathroom featuring a custom vanity and a beautiful, modern tiled walk-in shower, with easy access to the hot tub patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has two twin beds. There is a second bath at the end of the hall on the main floor with another custom vanity, and a tiled tub and shower.

"Comfortable beds, linens, and very clean with loads of “little things” that make all the difference when you’re far from home" - Gina M.

The open concept main living area features a pet and kid friendly wood-look tile floor, new furniture, and plenty of seating for the whole family. It also boasts an airy, vaulted reclaimed wood ceiling that opens into the cozy treehouse-like loft for additional living space. The loft is the ideal setting to enjoy morning coffee or snuggle up with book, it also contains a full-sized futon for additional sleeping accommodations.

"The loft was a great area to do puzzles and look out the large windows at the beautiful scenery" - Kelsey W.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with new appliances and everything you will need to prepare meals for your entire group. The dining area has a large custom table with seating for everyone. Just off the kitchen and dining area is a secluded patio where you can use the propane grill to cook a meal or simply enjoy plenty of seating to cool off after a long day of exploring the Hills. Later, you can gather around the firepit to enjoy the cool, beautiful mountain evenings by telling stories, making S'mores, and enjoying beverages. If you're ready for a night out, there are well over a dozen great local restaurants, breweries, and wineries within a fifteen-minute drive.

"We looked forward to getting back to the cabin each evening to cook and relax in the lovely space. Super clean!" - Natalie E.

Other amenities include satellite TV with all of the premium movie channels, high speed fiber optic internet with Wi-Fi, a Smart-TV for your favorite streaming services, an on-demand water heater, central AC, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. We also have a hot tub! Enjoy a relaxing soak right outside your door after a long day of site-seeing in the Hills!

"We came to bike and the location on the Mickelson Trail was ideal." - Amy Z.

Your cozy vacation getaway is conveniently located just off of US Highway 16/385 midway between the charming small towns of Hill City and Custer. The property borders the Mickelson Trail, so you have easy access to the 106-mile-long trail that runs the length of the Black Hills from Edgemont to Deadwood (make sure to bring your bikes!) If you are looking for motorized recreation, we have plenty of parking for motorcycles, ATVs, and trailers. National Forest Service motor-vehicle use maps are available at many local businesses and all of the city visitor's centers and NFS offices.

"The Black Hills area has much to offer for a fantastic getaway, and the Aspen Hollow Cabin is centrally located to all the attractions. You will love staying at this wonderful property!" - Sherry S.

The Aspen Hollow Cabin is minutes from Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Black Elk Peak, and many area trails and lakes, including Sylvan Lake, Sheridan Lake, and Pactola Reservoir.

"Home is near a highway and helicopter tour business but the home was well insulated and could barely hear the outside noise. Plus the kids were [so] fascinated with watching the helicopters taking off that we ended up enjoying a ride as well!" - Mary R.

Another option is to step out the front door and visit our neighbors, Black Hills Aerial Adventures, to take a helicopter ride and enjoy a truly unique way to experience all the splendor the Black Hills have to offer!

Clean, clean, clean! We called this place our home for nearly a full week, and I cannot say enough positive things about it! We were highly satisfied with everything from check in to check out. The location worked well because we were able to ride the UTV trails around both Custer and Hill City, and the home is located in between the two. Jack and Lindy had even put together a little welcome package of snacks and wine and had it placed on the kitchen table upon our arrival! It was a clean and cozy place to stay, and we hope to be back soon! We highly recommend staying here!

We loved staying here (and so did our dog)! The house was spotless, well equiped and in a very central location. The owners communicated quickly and clearly and were very accomodating. The outside area was shady and private. A special place in a beautiful spot!!!

Great Weekend Getaway to Custer

The house was very nice, clean and well maintained. We planned our trip around hiking Black Elk Peak, and this location was just a short drive over to Sylvan lake and the trailhead. We loved coming back and relaxing in the hot tub. It is also a nice quick drive into town where we enjoyed walking around and eating at local restaurants. Our kids loved the loft, and enjoyed playing some of the games at the house. Would love to stay here again next time we come to Custer.

Perfect Home and Location

The home was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in the Black Hills area. Close to multiple shops and restaurants. Super private and we really enjoyed hanging around the fire pit out back in the evenings. Will recommend to friends/family staying in the area and will be back! Thank you for the amazing week!

Great find!

Our family visited for a long weekend. We have 3 kids and brought 2 dogs and it was just perfect. The trail just out back was an unexpected surprise! We wore the pups out multiple times a day. We also took a fun and unexpected helicopter ride because the house is next to a helicopter tour operation. And being so close to the helicopter tours wasn’t at all off-putting. The location was excellent for all we wanted to do. If we return in the future we’ll likely rebook with these hosts who make it all so welcoming and easy. Thank you!!!

Perfect vacation home for family!

This is a lovely house, with everything you need to stay and be home away from home. The location is remote, no neighbors other than the helicopter tour business. We stayed in the early spring and only saw one helicopter take off over a week. Everything was as advertised, clean and very comfortable! We would definitely stay again if traveling to the area. 10 minutes north of Custer, easy to get into town. Easy access to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and Crazy horse. We stopped at Walmart in Rapid City (45 minutes away) to stock up on groceries. Custer also has a grocery store but the prices were higher in the small town. Looking to workout - the YMCA in Custer had inexpensive day passes. Overall wonderful stay.

Hills weekend

Response from the property manager when we inquired about cancellation was slow. Additional messages were not responded to at all. However, checkin info was timely, and we didn't require any additional contact after we checked in. Location was convenient to the Mickelson Trail and Hills attractions. There was a lot of road noise from the highway when we were outside, but was not noticeable in the house. Proximity to the Helicopter business was noisy but fun. Overall, property was as described, clean and well stocked.

This place is beautiful and the amenities are all there. Well stocked with silver ware dishes and glasses. And the host is extremely quick to communicate and they insist you just leave at the end. No “strip the beds and put it in the wash” or “do the dishes “. NOOOO. They actually want you to just enjoy yourself. Outstanding ! Best place I have ever rented.

Nice little cabin

Cabin was well appointed and had everything we needed. Hot tub was great after sightseeing all day. Location was convenient to everything we wanted to visit in the area but the flip side to being so close to the highway was the traffic noise. We didn’t realize when we booked it that it was literally right off the highway so the noise made it tough to sleep in the master bedroom which fronts to the road. We appreciated the spices, condiments and propane the owners provided to cook at home. Thank you!

Convenient to Michelson trail and other Black Hill adventures

We came to bike the Michelson Trail, which runs right behind the property. Easy to jump on and bike in either direction. We enjoyed the back deck and fire pit and grill at the end of the day. The location is super convenient for all Black Hills adventures. Super close to Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore.
