About this property
Rustic Family Mountain Top Cabin! 360 degree “million dollar” Black Hills views!
Step back in time while staying at this hilltop property, 7Fr Ranch. See the sunrise and sunset, gaze at the stars and unparalleled mountain views. Hiking, trail riding, exploration all nearby. When making the scenic drive up to the top of the mountain, you’ll see whitetail deer and turkey, and escape from the hustle and bustle of modern day life. When you reach the peak at 5,550’, you’ll be in awe of the scenic vistas, refreshing air, and isolation. If you want to stay in touch, there is Starlink available.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host

Thank you for checking out our cabin! My wife and I bought this property while searching the hills for an oasis. We’ve spent many spring, summer, and fall nights here and are so happy whenever we visit (and slightly bummed when we have to leave). We love drinking coffee in the morning in the sun (usually facing southeast) and love to enjoy some cocktails and music in the evenings (facing southwest). We enjoy hiking with our dog, using side by sides to explore, and visiting Hill City, Custer, Spearfish, and Deadwood. There are new businesses in Hill City this year! Lost Cabin Brewery, Pack Mule, etc. So we’ll check those out as well. We hope you can come to the Black Hills in 2024!
Why they chose this property
It’s closer (~40min) to Rapid City. But far enough away to be at peace by the fireplace and underneath the stars. We enjoy the coupling of old school vibes with some modern amenities (Starlink, Solostove, newly installed bathroom with washer/dryer). We always feel like we jumped into a time warp back to 1970 or so when we stay at Elk Pass.
What makes this property unique
Property is on top of Elk Pass Ridge, at about 5,500’ elevation. The views are incredible and there are very few (if any) comparable properties in the southern hills. It feels very far away, but is only 10 minutes from grocery stores, bars, restaurants.
