Secluded Black Hills Log Cabin With Stunning Views

Secluded Log Cabin Retreat | 5 Acres + Stunning Long Views

Escape to Mountain Crest, a quiet mountaintop retreat designed for guests who value privacy, nature, and a true getaway experience. Set on five secluded acres, this authentic log cabin offers sweeping panoramic views—up to 100 miles on clear days.

What You’ll Love
• Total seclusion on private acreage
• Expansive long-range mountain views
• Cozy, authentic log cabin atmosphere
• Wildlife sightings right outside your door
• WiFi + Satellite TV (when you want to reconnect)

A Different Kind of Stay
This is not a resort or a polished luxury rental—it’s a genuine retreat. We’re a family sharing a place we love, kept intentionally natural. Instead of manicured lawns, you’ll find open mountain terrain where deer, birds, and other wildlife roam freely.

To help preserve the peaceful environment and protect the wildlife, hunting and the use of firearms are not permitted on the property.

Inside the Cabin
The interior is warm and inviting, with massive log construction that creates a cozy, grounded feel. It’s an ideal space for a romantic getaway or uninterrupted time with family—simple, comfortable, and intentionally removed from the noise of everyday life.

Seasonal Access (Important)
Winter brings incredible beauty—but also real conditions. A high-clearance 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended, and tire chains may be needed depending on weather. The gravel access road helps preserve the privacy and setting, but it is not suitable for motorcycles.

Why Guests Choose Mountain Crest
Guests don’t come here for luxury finishes—they come for the stillness, the views, and the feeling of having a mountain to themselves.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel right at home here.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Exactly what we wanted for the weekend. Pet friendly, quiet, fantastic outdoor space and had anything we could have needed. Stairs inside the cabin were too tricky for the dog, but the host was great and told us all of that in advance. The stairs did not hinder how awesome this cabin was and it is very well maintained. Would 100% stay again!

2nd Year with Amazing Privacy

Fabulous!

This property was fantastic! It was a real nature retreat, we did not hear any traffic, only birds and nature. A few mornings I saw deer on the property, and so many birds! The peace was exactly what we had hoped for. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and relax. We will definitely be back!

My family and I have stayed in many VRBO's, and this is probably the most well stocked place we stayed in if you are wanting to do any cooking or grilling. Clean, and pretty secluded.
