About this cabin rental
Relax and reinvigorate on 21 secluded acres outside of Custer, SD. Beaver Creek Lodge has oversized hand-hewn logs, vaulted ceilings, and artistic finishes truly make this cabin something to behold. Immerse yourself in nature when you enjoy South Dakota mornings and sunsets on the wraparound deck or any of the three private balconies. It’s set on 21 private, wooded acres on a scenic hillside, above Beaver Creek, which meanders through a lush meadow below. Explore the creek itself and see the wildlife it attracts year-round including deer, cows, chipmunks, birds, wild turkeys, the occasional elk, and, of course, beavers! Be sure to visit Wind Cave Park, just 1 mile down the road, and Custer State Park, 6 miles away, to witness wild herds of buffalo and elk which migrate through the area. You’re also 1.5 miles east of HWY 87, better known as the beautiful Needles Highway.
The interior of this charming cabin is handcrafted with rustic log walls and warm pine accents. Cozy up in front of the stone fireplace, built by the owner herself, and enjoy all of the modern conveniences to make for a rejuvenating stay. The main level is equipped with a full kitchen and any appliances you’ll need, coffee for the morning or a grill for the evening. Enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar or sit down for a meal at the formal dining table. The living room is encased with giant, view windows and patio doors to access the deck. The Master Bedroom with a walk-in closet, private bath, and secluded private deck is also on the main level, as well as an accessible half-bath.
On the second floor, you’ll find a loft area overlook, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Each bedroom has patio doors to its own cozy, private balcony.
The walk-out basement boasts a large family room with a wet bar, pool table, and patio doors to a covered patio. There’s an additional bedroom downstairs with a full bath, for privacy and additional relaxing space.
Arrive as you are and leave feeling as peaceful. We think you’ll like it here.
Please note this house requires 4WD/AWD in the winter

Beautiful setting…lovely log cabin. However, dirty, old, stained mattresses, sheets, comforters and pillows. We found live bedbugs, and had folks bitten in their sleep, and it ruined our family vacation, to say nothing of the worry of bringing something home with us. And to top that off, there were mouse droppings, and 2 live mice running around! I expect a premium place when paying these prices. Our worst experience yet.

Our family has a wonderful and relaxing time at the cabin. Our kids all enjoyed the pool table. We especially loved having coffee off the deck in the mornings. It is so peaceful, all you can hear is the sounds of the forest. The house was nice and clean and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed hiking in Wind Cave National Park and saw lots of bison.

We stayed at the Cabin in Late April and really enjoyed the area. The cabin was super clean and a perfect size for our family. The host was excellent and provided all the essentials we needed as well as good communication. On the southern end of the major black hills attractions, it is just about 1 mile from the cabin to enter the wildlife rich wind cave national park area and then just a short drive from there to Custer state park. Plenty of wildlife right on the property too. We had wild turkeys on the porch one morning. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved the cabin, the location of the cabin is ideal for going to almost any attraction in the Black Hills and only about 2 minutes from Wind Cave!

There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. The house was wonderful and the area was beautiful. Highly recommend spending your vacation here.

It was a beautiful weekend.

We enjoyed it very much! We loved the private nature of the cabin but we were still within close proximity to everything we wanted to see and do! It was a wonderful experience for all of us!!

This is a great property—super location to most Black Hills outdoor fun. A log house to envy. The negatives are nit-picky—driveway is steep but if you know what you are doing, no problem. Kitchen is a little small for big family dinner efforts, but we made it work. We will come back. Oh yeah, ethernet cable right next to commode in master bedroom for folks who need that sort of multi-tasking!

Property was nice, driveway could definitely use some work, not sure a small car could have used it successfully. Had water trouble with leaking following a storm with lots of wind. Owner was contacted.

Looking for a remote cabin in the woods and found it, It's remote but everything you want to do is within an hour of its location. Very close to Custer state park. Very nice management. Clean and comfortable. Has all the kitchen ware you need. Responded quickly to questions. Beautiful view, makes you want to get up early, sit on the deck with your coffee and watch the sun rise. Worth the the price. Quite, peaceful and beautiful.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Loved the cabin and the area!

We stayed here 9 years ago when our kids were still at home. We have planned an annual trip now with friends and decided to stay here. It was just like we remembered it 9 years ago. Great location, easy to find, close to most attractions. Cabin is set up perfect for our 3 couples.

The seclusion gives plenty of privacy, and the cabin is only 30 minutes away from Moccasin Springs if you want a spa day.

House needs some maintenance work. Downstairs walls are banged up, downstairs bedroom has drywall hanging down from ceiling , water bottles on ground from previous tenants and coffee maker took an hour to brew coffee..

Our stay with old friends was indeed wonderful there. And viewing the night sky was perfect because we were so far away from anything. Maybe too far at times, as we spent more time in the car than planned. But other than that it was great!
4.8
No problem. Reserve early. Great escape from the hussle and bussle of the motorcycle rally. Fair warning, the driveway is steep and gravel. Ruts and gravel and motorcycles don’t mix as motorcycle people know. Otherwise, absolute beautiful! 5 stars for sure.

The property was perfect for our 3 family group. We were all able to have our own areas to relax in. Teens enjoyed the pool table and adults loved being able to sit on the deck. It was nice to have 3 full baths. Cabin is conveniently located to all the attractions. We went to Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, over to Devils Tower, Deadwood, etc.
Kids and adults all had a wonderful time. Thank you Jody and Shane!

After days out and about exploring The Badlands, Mt Rushmore and small towns of Custer and Hill City we came home to a quiet oasis in the woods on a hill. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The t.v. was not turned on once due to fun board games and puzzles that were at our convenience. Plus the awesome pool table!! The fireplace set the ambiance each night while looking at the beautiful stars in the sky. Waking up to deer all around the yard was awesome!! Jody was an amazing host and had no problems answering all our questions. This cabin fit our family of 8 with room to spare!

Our whole family really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out. We spent time hanging out on the deck, enjoying the weather and the sounds of the neighbors cows and chickens. Also spotted deer multiple times when coming back to the cabin in the late afternoon. So nice and peaceful!
