The Miner's Cabin

Welcome to the Miner's Cabin at Backroads Inn and Cabins. This one-room cabin sits apart from the others tucked in the midst of pine trees. Inside offers a king bed in the main room and a twin-sized bed in the front sun nook. With a small kitchen, gas grill, and private fire pit, there is everything you'll need on this 8 acre property surrounded by National Forest. You will feel complete peace while also being minutes away from all the attractions - Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 mins.)

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

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

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
Keystone, SD
A monumental granite sculpture featuring the 60-foot faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Approximately 2.4 miles from Backroads Inn & Cabins. 


Custer State Park
Custer, SD
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. 

Crazy Horse Memorial
Crazy Horse, SD
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
Interior, SD
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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom. The cabin also includes an ironing board.
