About the host

Host profile image
Thank you for checking out our cabin! We 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! So we’ll check those out as well. We hope you can come to the Black Hills in 2026!

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.
