Property details

A real log cabin perched on its own hilltop overlooking Spring Canyon with 360-degree views of rolling Black Hills terrain. Three levels of warm wood, handcrafted details, and wide windows framing the kind of scenery most people only see from a car. Two living areas, a soaking tub with views, and multiple decks give everyone space to spread out. No neighbors in sight yet only a few minutes out of town! This is not a subdivision cabin with a view of the next roofline. This cabin sits alone on a hilltop at the edge of Spring Canyon. The drone photos don't exaggerate. You're surrounded by open, undeveloped hills in every direction with no other rooflines competing for the view. The property is accessed by a private winding driveway off South Canyon Road, and once you're up top, the rest of the world drops away. Inside, the cabin is built with real log walls, hardwood floors, and knotty pine ceilings throughout. The main level has an open-concept kitchen, dining area with a handmade log table, and a living room with a large TV, leather seating, and a rustic driftwood coffee table. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and a breakfast bar. The entire upper level is the master suite, a vaulted loft with panoramic windows, a soaking tub with river stone surround and views of the hills, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. It's an open loft layout, so keep that in mind for your group. The lower level has its own living room with a large TV, a second seating area, a bedroom, and walkout access to the deck and canyon views. Multiple decks on different levels let you chase the sun or the shade throughout the day. What you get: -Hilltop location with 360-degree canyon and Black Hills views -Real log construction with handcrafted staircase and railings -Multiple outdoor decks across three levels -Vaulted master loft with soaking tub and separate shower -Two separate living areas, each with large TV -Full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar -Handmade log dining table seating 6 -Hardwood floors and knotty pine ceilings throughout -3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms -High-speed wifi -Washer and dryer -Rustic Western decor throughout -Private driveway, no shared access -No visible neighbors -15 minutes to downtown Rapid City You'll have full access to the entire cabin, all three levels, and all outdoor decks. The entry code will be provided in your check-in instructions the day before arrival. No shared spaces. The property is entirely yours for the duration of your stay. **The garage is not for rent, owner use only. ** The driveway is steep and winding. It is gravel that is well-maintained, but it requires a careful approach, especially if you're arriving after dark. Take it slow and you'll be fine. Any standard vehicle can make it, but low-clearance sports cars may scrape. The master suite is an open loft, meaning there is no door separating it from the main level staircase. This works perfectly for couples or families who don't need a closed-off bedroom, but it's worth knowing if privacy between rooms is important to your group. The cabin is in a rural setting. Cell service is adequate but not strong everywhere in the canyon. Wifi is provided and reliable inside the home. The nearest grocery store and gas station are about 15 minutes away in Rapid City. Wildlife is common in the area. Deer, turkeys, and the occasional coyote are regular visitors. Keep food secured and trash inside.

This was the perfect place to stay for our trip. While the driveway is steep, it is manageable and completely worth the view at the top. The deck(s) and porches are perfect for watching the local wildlife. The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked with essentials we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend staying here.

I can’t begin to say all the amazing sights and sounds at this cabin! The pictures do not serve it justice! The hosts were very friendly and helpful…we stayed here on our way home from a car rally and elected to drive back home vs shipping our car home…we are so glad we did! We will rebook this cabin next year and every year after! Absolutely best cabin…I’ve paid much more for much less in a Airbnb…we highly recommend this host and their cabin! 10 Stars! Oh that’s another bonus…very little light pollution to see the stars in the night sky ;)

This cabin was so beautiful with a family of a doe and her fawns visiting multiple times! We enjoyed sitting on the balconies and watching wildlife & witnessing the deep partial lunar eclipse on the last night of our honeymoon! Stargazing from the driveway away from city lights was truly magical. Lots of places to go visit and eat in Rapid city! Would definitely stay here again!
