At The Edge Of Solitude Where Stars Are Bright And The Air Is Fresh
About this cabin rental
Situated in West Custer Township, this lovely cabin for $363 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Fortunately, some of the most beautiful places on earth can be experienced without the cost and responsibility of actually owning them. Red Canyon Ranch in the Black Hills is no exception. Situated high atop the Black Hills historic red-limestone and sandstone canyon, the location of the original route into the Hills for both Native Americans and the white settlers that followed, Red Canyon Ranch is a monument to the cowboy lifestyle, with elements of luxury and style that most cowboys have probably never seen. The cabin is a lodge-pole pine dwelling, in the tradition of an aged lodge. It offers full views of Red Canyon from three sides, rustic floors and cabinetry with natural dry-stack, slate fireplace in the living room, and master bedroom, and sleeping accommodations for 6 people. An outdoor hot tub that nearly floats above the canyon’s edge makes soaking under the stars a life-time memory. On a clear day, Red Canyon offers extraordinary views to its east, where sheer red walls accentuate the awesome powers that went into its creation, as well as the intricacies of its meandering path. To the south, across the canyon, the dense clustering of centuries-old Ponderosa pine easily explains how the area came to be known as the “Black”Hills . While to the west the canyon continues with steep rock walls, dramatic outcroppings and a long distance view to Wyoming. You'll Love Our Neighbors: Red Canyon is home to one of the most diverse wildlife populations in the Black Hills. Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer, Eagles, Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Turkeys. Explore The Best Part Of The Black Hills: The southern Black Hills holds something for everyone and every taste. Nestled among the rolling hills are a multitude of quaint towns offering shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that could easily fill your day with smiles. The area also hosts some of the country’s most beautiful parks and well-known monuments, all within a short and scenic drive from each other. At the Founder's Cabin, you'll have thousands of acres to explore whether hiking or horseback riding across this historic property.

We could literally make this review as long as a novel, however, we wont. Let us just say everything was beyond wonderful, from the booking, the directions and drive to the location, the cabin and all things in and around it, the views, local day trips, Nina's food, and the checkout! If you would like an amazingly, fantastic and tranquil weekend or longer, do not hesitate to book!!

I think this visit was our 4th stay at this property, and we love every minute that we spend at Lori’s place! The cabin interior is meticulously clean and well maintained, with comfortable beds, quality bedding, and thoughtful touches that make you feel like you didn’t book a long enough stay. And then there’s the exterior, and I don’t see how anyone could get tired of the fabulous views from every window (including the shower), two decks, the hot tub and grill area. This is a place where my family can completely exhale…and enjoy talking to one another again by the fire or around the table. I leave this review risking an even busier schedule at the cabin, which can be difficult to find openings for, but is well worth the scheduling effort! Lori, thanks for another amazing retreat!

Had a most enjoyable, relaxing stay. Views were amazing. A night storm was a treat. Roaming cattle and buffalo were a sight to see.

My husband and I just spent some days at this beautiful cabin! The scenery and location were gorgeous! The cabin was clean and cozy. We highly recommend it.

Lori’s cabin is one of a kind. It sits on a steep cliff and the views are spectacular! There is about a 25 min drive on gravel roads to get there, and there is no cell service. You do have access to wifi. We were happy to be off line for the week and didn’t mind the drive. If you are looking for a one of a kind off grid experience, this is it! Thank you, Lori, for sharing your beutiful cabin.

Everything was amazing with the cabin. Love the isolated location right at the edge of a beautiful canyon. The cabin itself was spacious and in great shape with everything you could want. We were so sorry to leave after our 5 night stay. The deer, rabbits and turkey were there to see us off.

This property is absolutely wonderful. It was everything it was advertised to be and more. The scenery was serene and the cabin was adorable. It was very remote & private but also close enough to the local attractions. I highly recommend Red Canyon Cabin!

The Red Canyon Cabin is truly like a little piece of heaven. The views are breathtaking, the cabin is welcoming and absolutely darling, and the outdoor area is so peaceful. From the red rock valley views, the beautiful flowers around the cabin, to the relaxing hot tub, the cabin offered everything we would dream of for a romantic getaway. Thank you Lori for being a wonderful host! We would love to come back one day!

This was the most unique and special short term rental we have ever stayed at. The setting can’t be duplicated and every aspect of the cabin contributed to this most memorable experience.
The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare complete meals and the time spent relaxing on the deck taking in the beauty of canyon and surroundings was everyone’s favorite pastime. We had to force ourselves to leave the cabin to visit the phenomenal sights in the area. And I have never dealt with a host who was more organized or helpful than Lori.
I watched this property for years trying to find a time when it was available and we were able to travel to SD. I had incredibly high expectations and it did not disappoint!
We can only dream about returning sometime.

One word - Wonderful!

The cabin is just perfect. Quiet, clean, and secluded (but not in a scary way), with breathtaking scenery. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. I can't wait to return! The landscaping around the cabin is also lovely (you may hear a very faint whistle sound briefly in the late a.m. as the flowers are watered/irrigated - just pretend it's Wind Cave - which is nearby). A chipmunk came to take a drink. The shower has a very "natural" feel and has stone walls, so just pretend you are showering in a cascade coming down the canyon. :) I wouldn't recommend this location for children or pets, but for adults seeking to "unplug" (I went off the grid here for a few days), this place is awesome! If you do care to venture out, Custer, SD is nearby and the perfect town to "explore."

As we drove up to the cabin our first comments were “this place is absolutely incredible!” The photos online are gorgeous and the views even more stunning in person. The cabin itself is situated so every room has gorgeous views. It is so cozy and comfortable. The beds, bedding and amenities are top quality and arrange so that the guests can find whatever is needed with no problem. Lori was a joy and her decorating and gardening skills showed how artistic and classy she is. Her taste is impeccable. The first night we watched a storm move in from Wyoming producing a show that would rival the best firework display. It was gorgeous. The wildlife was abundant with birds, bunnies, deer and even a little lizard and a harmless Bull Snake that came to drink water in the pond off the deck. Even those of us who are not comfortable around snakes found the snake fascinating to watch. Every night around dusk we heard the elk bugling back and forth to each other. We tried to find them but were not able to. A neighbor, Nina, prepared a delicious Thai dinner for us one night. It was an unexpected treat. We all agreed that the Red Canyon Cabin is one of those very unique places that few get to experience. How fortunate we all felt that Lori is gracious enough to share her piece of heaven with others.

We loved our stay at Red Canyon Ranch. The views from the property were amazing. The location is remote enough to feel like you are away from it all while still being centrally located to some of the best nature locations in SD. Checking out Custer State Park is a must.

We picked the cabin to enjoy some time away from everything and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the quiet away from everything. The cabin is nicely decorated and equipped with lots of windows for enjoying the views. Custer was close enough (about a 35 minute ride) to easily grab a bite to eat and drinks. Worth the stay.

The views are stunning. The property was as advertised. Super clean, well appointed and organized... everything needed for a vacation was ready and waiting. The owner's info is spot on with directions and the check in/out directions and info on the property is clear and concise ...zero issues.
A leisurely drive down a well maintained gravel road, past farms and pastures, grazing horses, deer, bison ... you reach the end of the world. The cleanest of air, the clearest of skies, silence from any city sounds... simply amazing.
Waking with the sun, grabbing my coffee, sitting on the deck overlooking the red rock of the canyon could not be beat. My family had plans but wow I just wanted to sit there and enjoy that view. Repeat at night with a drink and the hot tub, seriously, didn't want to leave.
We cooked out on the grill, ate around the large dining table, watched movies and played games in the loft, sat around the fire, slept in a couple times on the comfortable beds, and just had an all around great time.
I would highly recommend this place.

My wife and I couldn’t have enjoyed our stay anymore than we did. We had a lot planned for our stay and cancelled a couple of the plans because we wanted to spend more time at the property. The views, the cabin, the hot tub, the garden, the solitude, Nina’s Thai Food, I could keep going on and on! This was a world class place to stay and to enjoy everything that the Black Hills has to offer, but in the privacy of your own space. We loved it!

This cabin was exactly what I had in mind when planning a visit to the Black Hills. Had no intention of sightseeing this trip and wanted a relaxing do nothing getaway and it exceeded my expectations! It was peaceful, secluded, cozy and comfortable with a unique view. We enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace as well as our short exploration walks. Spent our days reading, napping and taking in the amazing view. My husband even put 300 miles on his adventure bike. There was a full moon during our stay and looked forward to it rising over the canyon ridge each night. What a beautiful sight! An added surprise were the bison seen on the way in and out of the property. Lori was excellent to work with. She answered the many questions I had from before booking clear through check out. Thank you for sharing your charming home! Had a wonderful experience and were reluctant to leave.

Was perfect get away for my wife and I. Very quiet, relaxing and remote which is exactly what we were looking for. Million dollar view from the deck.

Our stay was even better than we anticipated. We were able to find the perfect balance of quiet down time and sightseeing. Our mornings and evenings were spent enjoying the peaceful views of the canyon. Our afternoons were spent seeing some local attractions like Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, Sylvan Lake and neighboring towns. The cabin had everything we needed to make some amazing meals to enjoy on the picnic table overlooking the ridge. We would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to return!

This cabin made me absolutely fall in love with South Dakota. It was pretty and well taken care of. I dropped one of my AirPods under some furniture—when I looked under to grab them, there wasn’t a spot of dust! It was also easy to drive to. The road was well maintained. Definitely worth ordering food from Nina! She cooked some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!

The property was absolutely beautiful. Pictures do not do justice the views. We hiked the property every day and stared at the starry sky from the hot tub at night. We hope to return soon!

This cabin is exactly as it appears. Waking up in the morning with a light dusting of snow only adds to the magic. The views are unbelievable. The cabin itself is beautiful, cozy, private and the perfect place to escape the world. This really is a destination stay and is perfect if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking to be out and about running all over the Black Hills this is not the cabin for you in my opinion. My husband and I have have been to the hills many time so this special place gave us our own little piece of heaven for a few days.
We really enjoyed the hot tub with giant snowflakes falling, sitting inside and out watching the canyon change with the movement of the sun throughout the day, having the wind and the birds being the only sound you hear.
The cabin is well equipped and you should definitely plan to prepare meals, partly because this cabin is not close to restaurants and partly because you will not want to leave. This is a very special rental indeed
