Welcome to the Hugo Cabin at Backroads Inn and Cabins.. This one-room cabin sits apart from the others tucked in the midst of pine trees. Inside offers a king bed in the main room and a twin-sized bed in the front sun nook. With a small kitchen, gas grill, and private fire pit, there is everything you'll need on this 8 acre property surrounded by National Forest. You will feel complete peace while also being minutes away from all the attractions - Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 mins)
Community Pool (heated) open 10am to dark Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Please Note: We offer Starlink Satellite wifi and being located in an isolated valley we are susceptible to slower speeds.
Our cabins are surrounded by the Black Hills National Forest, so you'll likely see deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife. As with any wooded setting, the occasional mouse may find its way indoors, though this is uncommon.

Beautiful area just outside Keystone. The cabin was a nice size, well maintained and stocked with the necessities. The host has been great with providing instructions on how to get there, keys, etc. Close to a lot of shops and food. We will definitely be back when in that area again.
