About this cabin rental

The cabin no longer has a hot tub as seen in some of the pictures and the virtual tour.

Marshall Gulch Getaway is an authentic hand-hewn log cabin overlooking a serene valley on 7 acres just 2 miles outside of Hill City. A mountain creek flows within view below the cabin. Deer and turkeys are frequent visitors in the yard! The cabin is tastefully decorated with décor fitting the mountain atmosphere. This cozy cabin has a king size log bed in the loft, and a double bed on the main floor bedroom. We allow a max of 4 adults in this rental. If a third sleeping area is needed for a child, you may bring an air mattress and necessary linens. The kitchen is spacious for a family of 4-5.

There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo and laundry accommodations with washer and dryer. The loft bedroom has a window AC. Board games and playing cards available for rainy or snowy days. There is a 47-inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room, along with a real wood burning fireplace! (And electric heat throughout). We supply a starter supply of firewood, and you can purchase extra at a local grocery store.

The covered front porch is a favorite of guests to sit and watch the wildlife and let the day slip away. Around back is patio with a Gas Log fire-pit that has plenty of outdoor seating to have your morning coffee, outdoor meals, or just sit and watch wildlife. A propane grill is also provided. This cabin sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking the valley below with views of Black Elk Peak. But, the drive to this cabin is a piece of cake and parking is plentiful. Large grassy lawn with plenty of space to roam. This rental is a time-honored favorite for repeat guests.

NO PETS/NO SMOKING. NO TENTS or additional people camping outdoors! No exceptions!

Centrally located in the Black Hills, about 15-20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park, Sheridan, Pactola and Deerfield lakes and the majority of all attractions!

Very much enjoyed the cabin. The bedrooms were a little tight for my 6’4” frame. But the view, porch, back yard, kitchen & living area, close to Hill City made it all worth it. Need to update listing as no hot tub any longer. Enjoyed the wildlife passing through.

We stayed at the cabin recently for a South Dakota family vacation and this cabin was great. Perfect location to everything and had everything we needed. Very clean and communication was super simple. Cute mountainside cabin and we would stay again! The only downside was the kids were thoroughly disappointed about the hot tub not being on the property as the listing states. I would suggest the owners remove this from the listing as it's deceiving.

This cabin is in a beautiful location, with a great view of the black hills. It is private and peaceful. We loved sitting out on the front porch drinking coffee every morning. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, a short distance from lots of attractions. And the host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Thanks for everything!

The cabin was very clean! Everything was labeled which was so helpful. We were able to find everything we needed without searching. It was a great size for our family of 4. We took in all the activities but the favorite part of the trip for our 6 year olds were UNO on the front porch and the neighbor's burro.

We were so impressed and pleased with our stay here as a family of four. The cabin was clean, well-stocked and had an amazing view off the front porch. It was close to all all of the activities we had planned for Keystone, Hill City and Custer State Park. We highly recommend!

Cabin and the area was just as presented by the owner, super clean, everything you could want was in the cabin, just like staying in your own house!. The only thing i think that could be improved from a safety stand point is a more user friendly hand rail going up into the loft area and handicap bars into and in the shower. Would stay there again if in the area. Thank you for the enjoyable stay.

Dates of visit: May 29-June 1, 2024.This cute log cabin is located in a quiet country area with only a few nearby houses and it's close to town. We used the king size bed in the loft and found the mattress comfortable and the sheets soft and smooth. I'm 5 feet tall, yet twice I hit my head hard on the low rafters that you have to pass by to get into bed. My husband who is 5'11" was able to avoid that problem, so maybe it's just me. The water was discolored, the hosts said, due to some mineral content in the spring, but the tap water was safe for drinking and bathing. As a courtesy, they provide a water cooler with pure water for guests. The living room furniture looked nice, but we found the sofa a bit uncomfortable; we kept sliding down. The living and dining chairs were good. I was trying to access their wifi using the information I was sent, but I couldn't get it to work. So, I called the hosts and they said that the information I was sent had come from vrbo, not from them, and that it was wrong and that they would contact vrbo and have it corrected. They had posted the correct information in the house, which, of course, I should have seen, but did not. The posted info worked great. The hosts were kind and gracious people. We would stay there again.

Amazing! Well-appointed, well-maintained, well-stocked and just perfect for our (husband and my) first time in SD. Comfortable, beautiful, and absolutely stress-free basecamp for our daily hiking in the area. The owners have thought of every little detail to make a stay total relaxation. We cooked a little and had a fire in the fireplace. Loved looking out the main room picture window during morning coffee and playing cards in the kitchen in the evening. Don’t have a single negative to share. We definitely imagined coming back again!

It is in very peaceful and quiet location too. It was exactly as described and very clean and well cared for. This will go on my list of properties to return to when we travel back to this area!!! We were only there for 3 nights and wish we had planned for a few days more! We will next time!

The Marshall Gulch Getaway is so great that you almost want to keep it a secret. I took my two children (6 and 10) there and we had a four day vacation that we will never forget. The location is stunning, private and tranquil. Only gave the location 4 stars as it was a little bit challenging to find the first time! The property itself was very well maintained and very clean. Although we didn't need anything from the owners or managers, they were communicative and we had their info at the ready. This place was simply awesome and we'll never forget it.
