About this cabin rental
We are Backroads Inn and Cabins. Our property lies in Echo Valley. 8 acres surrounded by National Forest. We are the essence of the Black Hills, yet minutes away from everything people come to see, like Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 minutes).

The cabin was very nice. It was clean, and roomier than we expected. We loved seeing the deer and wild turkeys right in the yard. Location near Mt. Rushmore and Keystone was excellent.

We absolutely loved staying in this cabin! Response from the hosts was prompt and professional when we reached out with a question.
Upon entry of the cabin, it was so thoughtfully decorated/arranged, things were placed in a way that was very practical for use of guests. My Children felt at home staying here which was wonderful! It was very tidy, clean, and overall a wonderful cabin. We absolutely would recommend staying in this cabin and we ourselves want to make it a point to stay here again. It's very close to Mt. Rushmore, the town train ride, shops/attractions and a great antique store all while still being in a quite/peaceful area.

What an AMAZING stay! Our cabin (Ingersol) was a great place for our little group to stay. The place was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable, and the ceiling fans were nice to have. We even used the grill and it fired up right away! (You do need a new grill brush however)
The steam train went right by every day and the little brook babbling in front of our cabin was perfect!
The ONLY issue we had was the shower was small. But I guess miners were shorter back in those days :)
We had very little interaction with the staff because we were out in the surrounding Keystone area each day, but we were happy with how the property was kept up.
Backwoods Inns and Cabins is a great place t call home when you are in the Black Hills / Keystone area.

Perfect little cabin!
Wonderful, peaceful and beautiful location right in the heart of the action but off enough to feel secluded. The cabin was so cozy and we really enjoyed everything about this leg of our journey...thank you!

Excellent
The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5. We had plenty of room to stretch out and relax after a several long days in the car. It was a welcomed respite. The cabin is conveniently located for sightseeing in Keystone, SD.

Absolutely perfect stay!
Book this property! We stayed here with our two children (5 and 8 months) for 5 nights. It was perfect. Relaxing and secluded location with everything we needed. The rooms are a little small but we weren’t at the cabin much as we were out hiking and sightseeing and we only needed the rooms to sleep. As previous reviews mentioned the shower is a bit small, but we were fine with it and adapted.
We loved watching the train roll by and seeing deer in the valley, one night they hung around for a few hours. Our 5 year old also loved seeing Huckleberry, the owners dog.
We will definitely be back in the future!

Cute cottage
Had a great time at this cute cabin. Every morning we were greeted by deer and turkey. The area is nicely kept and was a great location to area attractions.

Clean, comfortable cabin, minutes from downtown Keystone
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was clean, easy to check in, and was a perfect launching spot for Mt Rushmore, Custer, Crazy Horse, Cave Winds, and Hot Springs. I was a little concerned about how the shower would be based on reviews, but neither my mom nor myself had any trouble. Some wifi, but probably not enough to work a business day without dropping. We loved the deer in the yard at morning and dusk.

Perfect Cabin Just Minutes from Everything!
Six family members ranging from age 8 to 72 enjoyed the comfort of this beautiful, cozy cabin! We all wished we had more time there. We were pleasantly surprised to see a fire pit and nice size pool that gave the kids a great evening cool-off activity!

Such a cute cabin!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin! It is a great location to see Mount Rushmore, Badlands, etc. It was clean, well appointed and the Property Managers were very pleasant. The only reason I am not rating 5 stars are for the following reasons. The shower was SO tiny that it was actually uncomfortable to use. Anyone should really be aware of this prior to booking this property. I very much an average sized woman and even my very thin 13 year old had issues with it. I could not shave my legs in the shower and you could not have more than one toiletry item in the shower at a time (I had to use body wash and then exit the shower to place it on sink to then grab shampoo/conditioner to use, exit shower again to grab shaving gel, etc ). The other issue is the internet/cell service which was really almost non existent. That being said, most people likely visit this area to unplug and NOT use phones/ computers but my husband had to work and could not work from the cabin at all (he worked instead from his car downtown where he was able to use data/cell service). Last, the stove was not functioning when we checked in so I called the property managers who I did not hear back from. We changed our dinner plans and left the cabin to eat out. I called again in the morning and was able to reach them and they did repair it while we were gone exploring the next day. However I have no idea if they received my voice mail the night before and just did not respond or what? Maybe the cell phone coverage was so poor they could not hear my message? There was never an answer to that. When all was said and done however, I would recommend this cabin for anyone who would not be bothered by the shower and cell phone/internet situation. I appreciated the owners allowing us to stay at their property and we certainly felt safe/comforable there.

Very good location
Very good location. Easy to get to. Lots of wildlife around. Shower was small but we managed. Lock box was a little hard to get into but finally worked. Would recommend it to others.

Cozy, Convenient
We were visiting the Black Hills with our son, his wife and 3 grandkids. While we were busy all day every day seeing the sights, it was very pleasant and refreshing to know we had a lovely, restful place of solitude to return to each night. Deer appeared in the yard morning and night. Everything we wanted to do was within about an hour’s drive.
