Secluded Cabin in the Heart of the Black Hills

Log cabin (renovated in 2021) nestled in a beautiful valley within the Black Hills National Forest. The cabin is secluded with only one other rental cabin on the property (Cabin 1, VRBO #2418812). Your morning view will often include white tail and mule deer coming down the hillside to graze in the meadow. Within minutes of Custer State Park, this charming studio cabin includes amenities of a full kitchen, spacious bathroom, internet and Dish TV, gas grill, and can sleep 4 guests with a queen bed and queen sofa sleeper. After a day of enjoying all the Black Hills has to offer, spend your evening relaxing around the fire pit.
In 2024 our internet provider finished their fiber optics installation, now providing us with high-speed internet service.
The Cabin is located at 12554 Hazelrodt Cutoff which is 3 miles from Custer, SD, 1.2 miles south on Sydney Park Road, county oil, 1.9 miles east on Hazelrodt Cutoff, county gravel, then left at the HIDDEN VALLEY CABIN sign, follow the driveway to the second cabin on the right.
Great cabin for a couple or a family up to 4. This cabin along with cabin 1 would be a great option for two families to enjoy their vacation together.
We have a trail camera, when it is turned on it only covers the parking area and the fire pit (not the cabins or the area around the cabins). We generally turn the trail camera on to see when our guests arrive and to monitor the fire pit since the property is in the middle of the Black Hills National Forest.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Absolutely wonderful!!

We stayed 3 nights in this cabin and loved it! It was stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed to be able to grill dinner outside each night and cook breakfast inside each morning. Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing. I was skeptical that the cabin would be as secluded as the listing said, especially since there is another cabin on the property. The other cabin was vacant the entire time we were there, but even if it hadn’t been, the cabins are arranged in such a manner that you wouldn’t be able to see anyone from the porch. We would definitely stay here again!!

This was our second time staying in this cabin. The owners were great with communication. They checked on us whenever we were outside and they were driving by. This cabin is very secluded. You wake up to birds chirping or the breeze blowing through the pines. If you want quiet and only the sounds of nature, this is it! Very close to Custer State Park and Crazy Horse!

Family vacation

The little cabin was perfect for me and my 3 teenage kids. The location was great, and private. The property was clean and well maintained, as advertised. The owner was quick to respond to my one and only request. Overall, was exactly what we were looking for and needed. Every activity and site we were wanting to see/do was nearby. We would definitely recommend. Thanks

Great Location

This little cabin was wonderful. One thing that the listing does not clearly state is that there is another cabin right there next to it that is also vrbo, not a problem just nice to know. It was a quiet, clean, comfortable stay, also with a great location being only a few minutes from Custer but also out in the woods. We would definitely stay here again.

Secluded and peaceful

This is our third time staying here. Cabin 2 is a perfectly appointed studio with everything you could wish for. It’s scrupulously clean and the hosts have done everything to make it comfortable including installing A/C. It’s super quiet yet only about 10 minutes from downtown Custer. Enjoy a peaceful morning with your coffee on the porch listening to the birdsong!

The cabin was just as described in the listing. The cabin and all of the kitchen equipment appeared new. There was a TV and the WiFi worked very well.
