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!

Honeymoon Destination

We were above and beyond pleased with our accommodations! Perfect and private setting for a romantic getaway. But still close enough to any attractions and adventures you could want. Don and Terri were wonderful hosts and had an open line of communication, however, we didn’t need it because honestly everything was perfect!

Delightful Cabin

This cabin is a perfect spot for a visit to the Black Hills during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is secluded and yet close to everything. It was a delightful surprise to find the kutchen so well stocked. The cabin is nicely decorated and has a very comfortable feel to it. We had a wonderful time!

Great Trip

We had a great trip. Don and Terri have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, with lots of extras you might have forgotten. They checked on us and made sure we knew we could reach out with questions or assistance. My Husband and I hiked the short hill behind the cabin. The view is worth it, beautiful. We have and will recommend this cabin to family and friends. The cabin is very well located for everything we wanted to do or see, very short drive to Custer for restaurants or groceries.

I would give this property 10 stars if I could, it was fantastic, just what we were looking for with us and our 2 dogs (senior and young) for 4 nights before we headed out camping. It was one of the cleanest cabins I have stayed in, very comfortable with everything you need, I love the wood decor and all of the special touches, and the hosts are wonderful! The best part though for us is the outside! Remote location with miles of National Forest right out the door, great views of Crazy Horse and the hills, there was a small RV camping area over the hill to the one side, but we never saw another person out there. It is up off a lightly used gravel road which wasn't a problem for us, our dogs are pretty well trained, quickly learned their boundaries, and didn't go near it. The small/deck porch was organized such that I could also block off the entry/exit with a camping mat and hang out with the dogs there and not have to watch them. We loved it so much that we already booked our second stay for next year before we left!

Peace and relaxation

Cabin was very clean and quiet. Owners included many extras to make our stay comfortable. Cabin was in a central location to the scenic parks including Custer state park, wind cave, jewel cave and reasonable day trip drives to Badlands as well as Devils Tower. The cabin was a great place to return and relax after exploring all day. Thank you and hope to return again soon!

Ideal stay in every way

We are two friends along with Abby, the dog. This was tied for the top two rentals to-date. Absolutely not a thing wanting. Don and Terri are the best hosts yet. Everything in the cabin works and is very good value. Cooking is a dream. Abby was able to roam freely around the property and loved it. This cabin is highly recommended. We will return.

Black hills getaway

We decided to spend a few days in the Black Hills enroute to Wyoming to see our daughter and family. We wanted something secluded, cozy and close to Black Hilks attractions. Don and Terri's cabin had everything we wanted, and more. We loved it and will come again for sure!! Don and Terri were excellent, thoughtful and responsive hosts. We will for sure come again!!

Comfy cabin

A perfect cabin for two, thoughtful amenities and things that work well. Great porch and grill even a gas fire pit! The owners made every thing easy and really kept us informed. Handy to town but remote enough to be very private. We had a good get away here! I Highly recommend it for a peace and quiet stay away.

About the host

Hosted by Don & Terri

Host profile image
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.
