You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

This cabin was built by the owners and opened July, 2013. Much of the wood in the cabin came from the pine and aspen trees on our own land. All of the boards on the outside of the cabin were cut from Mountain Pine Beetle infested trees on our land. The loft ladder and railing we peeled from our trees. The bathroom vanity and medicine cabinet we built from aspen. The deck has a covered roof on it with lounge chairs and a grill. We have built a fire pit with benches next to the cabin for quests to enjoy and relax beside. We have plenty of fire wood for it on site. You can call me at Six 0 five, 5 one 7, one 7 nine 6. I am glad to answer any questions.
We own 23 acres that is surrounded by National Forest Service Land. There is a creek running thru our land with a pond in it just below the cabin. The Norbeck Wildlife Refuge is just 100 yards from our property. We are approximately 3 miles from Custer State Park. You have a bird's eye view of the Needles from our drive way. We are located in the heart of the Southern Black Hill offering a wonderful base to explore all the Hills have to offer, but is also a perfect getaway for those searching for some peace and tranquility. There are many forest trails near the cabin that you can hike, bike, or ride horse on for all the exploration a heart could desire.
Consumables are provided. We are NOT charging a cleaning fee although we hope all will leave the cabin as clean as you found it in hopes of preventing this fee. You pay one half of your stay when you reserve the cabin with the balance due 30 days prior to arrival.

Cancellation Policy: Re-scheduling your stay is always permissible without loss of deposit monies. Cancellations made 31 or more days prior to arrival will receive a refund of the deposit LESS $50.00 or 10% of the reservation whichever is more. If cancelled within 30 days of arrival the initial deposit will be forfeited. Partial deposit may be refunded if the property is re-rented. There will be NO refunds for no-shows, late arrivals, or early departures.
Starting January 1, 2023 we are raising the rate to $140.00 per night.
We'd love to have you stay with us!
We allow dogs in our cabin with no charge but due to some abusing this, we have to set some rules.
There is a limit of 2 dogs only.
If dogs are going to left in the cabin unattended, they must be in a crate.

Great stay
Our stay was great. The cabin was lovely. The only issue was our check-in. The owner wasn’t aware of our booking so it made for a rocky start, but Deb was accommodating and polite. We enjoyed our quiet weekend.

Rustic Rock Stay
Our stay was better than expected. Couldn't imagine someplace could be so quiet--absolute quiet. The cabin was remote but not too remote. The host was delightful, checked in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, made some small talk and was not intrusive. Host has three small dogs (pugs) who roam the property, but they are friendly--one sat with me for an hour one night on the porch swing--but they scatter if you tell them to. We also had two small dogs with us who I would call not social, but they got along well with the dogs too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet get away that is remote, but not way off the beaten path. If there was one draw back it was the miller moths, a small annoyance that goes with living in the woods--we learned after the first night not to leave doors open with a light on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Secluded and Peaceful Retreat
A winding gravel drive leads back to this property surrounding by forest land for hiking. The views are fantastic and it is very quiet and peaceful. The owners live on the property and have great hospitality and friendly dogs, however, there is still good privacy. Great place for 2 adults or a family of 4 to stay and enjoy.

Hidden Gem
Close to town and attractions but also away from it all! Beautiful view and property, lots of wildlife too. We saw turkeys, deer, jack rabbits and indigo buntings on the road to the cabin. The hosts are fantastic and there if you have any questions. This place is a wonderful little getaway.

Fabulous stay. Cabin was nicely equipped, the land was very peaceful and away from everything. There is even a trail you can take around the property. Owner has little pugs that like most pugs love attention. Great for a family stay while visiting the area. Host Deb was excellent.

We had a wonderful time. Couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting even with the rain. So relaxing, just what we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Deb, Dave and the puppies were so friendly and super to work with. I would definitely recommend this place.

Not ideal...rent a different cozy cabin.
The cabin was cute but desperately needs some cleaning. It is infested with moths we spent our night of check in vacuuming and trying to rid the place or bugs and moths. I messaged the host about check in the day of and after we arrived I was messaged saying it was Vrbo job to give that info. Let me say this I rent from agencies about fifty times a year and I always get messaged about check in from the host. Most people reviewed that it was quiet....well they definitely had a different experience then we did. The host started cutting the grass at 8 one morning, and running a water pump at 9 the other. We also were not fans of how invasive her dogs are...they jumped in our vehicle and came into the cabin while we stayed there. When we asked if accommodations could be made nothing changed. I also didn’t like the fact that there where no curtains...you feel like a fish in a bowl. We are from the country and from someone who rents frequently....I would advice to stay somewhere else.

Perfectly Remote
Staying at this cabin was a wonderful experience. It, literally, puts the Black Hills right out your back door. There are not enough words to describe how perfect the location was. There are wonderful views a short hike away from the cabin. There is no "city" noise to speak of. You are a short drive away from wonderful hiking trails in Custer State Park and Black Hills National Forest. There was more than one occasion my wife and I found ourselves considering a move out to the country when we got back home. All because of the wonderful experience of being off the beaten path with Deb and Dave. Speaking of Deb and Dave, they were both wonderful hosts. They are right up the hill if you ever have any questions and are more than willing to talk about what the area has to offer. This property is definitely worth it!!
