The Golden Nugget Cabin

Welcome to The Golden Nugget Cabin at Backroads Inn and Cabins. Newly restyled into a clean, simple, and beautiful space. This studio has a king-sized bed above a small living room and kitchenette (full-size fridge, hot plate, sink, toaster, microwave, coffee pot). Enjoy fresh air and listen to water run down stream on this 8 acre property surrounded by National Forest. You will feel complete peace while also being minutes away from Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 mins)

Community Pool (heated) open 10am to dark Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Please Note: We offer Starlink Satellite wifi, but being located in an isolated valley we are susceptible to slower speeds.

Please Note: Our cabins are surrounded by the Black Hills National Forest, so you'll likely see deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife. As with any wooded setting, the occasional mouse may find its way indoors, though this is uncommon.

Close to all the main Black Hills attractions:

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

A 71,000-acre state park known for its scenic drives, abundant wildlife, and outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and camping. Approximately a 15-minute drive from Backroads Inn & Cabins.

An in-progress mountain carving dedicated to the Lakota leader Crazy Horse, aiming to be the world's largest sculpture upon completion. Approximately 19 miles from Backroads Inn & Cabins. 

Badlands National Park

A dramatic landscape characterized by sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires, offering hiking trails and abundant wildlife. Approximately an hour's drive from Backroads Inn & Cabins.
