About this house rental
Perched on a clifftop with sweeping Black Hills views, this secluded 3-bedroom cabin on 3+ private acres is one of the most unique and memorable properties in all of South Dakota. Wake up to breathtaking views every morning, soak in the private hot tub under a sky full of stars, and explore the historic Black Hills right from your doorstep.
With 83 verified reviews, a 9.6 out of 10 rating, and Top 10% guest reviews in the area, guests consistently fall in love with this one-of-a-kind retreat — and it's easy to see why.
THE CABIN
This charming, rustic 3-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 6 guests across three comfortable queen bedrooms, each with its own cozy character. Two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace, and free driveway parking make this an easy, comfortable stay for families, groups, and remote workers alike.
The cabin sits on over 3 acres of private land, giving you total seclusion and space to spread out. The property is perfect year-round — just as magical under a blanket of winter snow as it is during a summer sunset. The hot tub is available in every season, ready to warm you up no matter which direction. Whether you're soaking at sunrise or stargazing at midnight, this is an experience you won't forget. A spacious deck and outdoor seating areas give you even more room to take in the incredible surroundings.
LOCATION
Ideally positioned 15 minutes west of Rapid City in the heart of the Black Hills:
- Thunderhead Falls: 4 minute drive
- Black Hills Caverns: 9 minute drive
- Rushmore Lions Park: 12 minute drive
- Mount Rushmore: 20 minute drive
- Crazy Horse Memorial: 30 minute drive
- Custer State Park: 35 minute drive
- Badlands National Park: 50 minute drive
- Rapid City Regional Airport: 36 minute drive
HISTORY
This property is steeped in remarkable Black Hills history. The original Flume Trail — built to transport water to the gold mines of the area — runs right behind the cabin along the mountain. Walk around the front of the property along the cliff and you can still see remnants of the historic wooden structure. At the front of the property, the old railroad that operated in the late 1800s and early 1900s once passed through. History is literally at your feet.
PARKING & ACCESS
Free driveway parking for up to 3 vehicles. Self check-in via keypad — your code will be provided prior to arrival.
WINTER ACCESS NOTE: The driveway has a hill. In normal winter conditions it's no issue, but during heavy snowstorms, if you want to park down by the house you'll need 4WD or AWD. The easy alternative: any regular car works fine — just park at the top of the hill and walk down. We'll make sure you have all the info you need before arrival.

If you’re looking for a no-fuss place with a great location and phenomenal cliffside views, this is the place for you. We loved the scenery and found it to be a convenient base for exploring the area.

Wonderful cabin to stay at! Stunning views from top of the hill looking over the town and in a private area. Had everything we needed and is located in a great spot to go for sight seeing between deadwood and Custer park.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Loved the quiet deck to watch sunsets Loved the hot tub on cool morningsSo many things to do in SD. Needles Highway is amazing. Custer state park to see buffalo Mount Rushmore Cabin is close enough to Rapud City. But, nice that it is in the woods. Super host. Anything that we needed they provided. Lots of room. To separate TV rooms.
