About this property

Highland Cliff Haven @EvansCliff, High Canyon vista, super quiet / Private NEW

NEW 2026! 8 years ago this was our Bear Paw site, we are now renting it again as Highland Cliff Haven! Updated pictures coming this spring.

The views are amazing and yet different for all of our locations, but this one is very special and we know you will love it!! This is our 9th property and we have well over a combined 350... 5 star reviews, we don't disappoint and know how important a great vacation experience is to a family.

3 Bed Room, 1 Bath. Full kitchen and Living Room, with lots of windows and fantastic views of the cliff and canyon. Kids can scramble around the 20 acres and let their imaginations run free.

Private spot very quiet and peaceful and we love to see pets join the vacation.

Beautiful view over hot brook canyon.

Queen size master, full BR2 , full BR3 and a full sofa sleeper in the living room.

Lots of big windows to enjoy the canyon views throughout your entire stay.

Ac, stove, frig, microwave, fully supplied kitchen... All the comforts of home. Coffee pot is included, Keurig / Peculator combo.

Hot Tub and fire pit out front under a high covered patio, which makes for an amazing place to look over the valley, the cliffs and the STARS, expect to see the Milky Way and count shooting stars on our many clear nights.

Enjoy everything from beautiful sunrises to amazing sunsets. With over a thousand acre view over the old Edgemont - Hot Springs railroad bed winding through the canyon, with a sprawling valley beyond. Imagine the old Hot Springs spur railroad bringing in tourists to soak in the warm mineral waters over a 100 years ago.

This cabin is very well insulated 2 minisplits keeps it nice and cool in the hot summer... the nights cool down which makes opening the windows and sleeping with the sounds of the trees, very peaceful.

Non-Smoking in the house please.

Just 5 beautiful winding canyon miles from hot springs.

Improvement needed

Non-potable water. Poor water pressure. No broom, mop to clean up after ourselves. Low supplies such as 1 1/2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 adults for 3 days. We had to buy dish soap, t.p. And paper towels. No grill utensils . The hot tub was not what was in the pictures.

Private, Quiet, Remote

This is a wonderful retreat. The cabin is about 10 minutes from town. It is pretty remote and very private. There is lots of land for kids to play and have fun. The cabin itself is very nice. All the essentials are there. It is quite wonderful. We had one small issue and the owners came within five minutes to help out. Great experience.

Great Family Vacation

We had an amazing stay at the Bear Paw Den. We brought our 2 little ones (4 and 6) and they loved it so much. It was a great place to unwind after a long day in the Black Hills. The pictures do not do the views justice. It's truly amazing. Thank you Wade and Patricia for the best family vacation that we have ever had.

A little piece of heaven!

We just returned from our Easter vacation in the Black Hills, and we knew going in that there was no guarantee that we were going to have good weather in a month as fickle April. But fortune smiled on us and we were greeted by the warmest temperatures so far this year. It rained on our last full day at the cabin, but even that provided a good excuse to lay-up and relax in the hot tub, and recover from three days of exploring the Black Hills. Also, the fact that it was Easter Sunday meant that not much, if anything, would have been open anyway. We played board games (thoughtfully provided by the owners), and watched movies, and made banana splits instead. As for the Bear Paw Den; it was exactly what we had hoped for..... a secluded little hideaway for our family of four. In fact, given that the cabin is surrounded on three sides by cliffs, it couldn't have been much more secluded, or picturesque. The cabin is cozy, clean, and well-provisioned with everything visitors could need in terms of basic kitchen utensils, appliances, and dinnerware. Linens, towels, and extra blankets (super soft, and comfy) were to be found in abundance. We were greeted in the mornings by birds singing, and deer nibbling on the new spring grass around the house. At night, we were serenaded by the many wild turkeys roaming the hills behind the cabin. Our kids had a great time exploring the property, and playing fetch with our dogs on the spacious lawn. Our ten year old son practically lived in the hot tub the rest of the time. The town of Hot Springs is a collection of amazing turn-of-century stone architecture, funky little shops and galleries of all kinds, and friendly, down-to-earth people. We would recommend "The Vault"; a cool little bar and grill that had amazing food (try the 'Stewies Cheesesteak' sandwich if you like a little bit of spice in your life), and which was kid-friendly. They even had kid's karaoke from 6-8! We also ventured about ten miles out of town to check out Cascade Falls, a beautiful little oasis of warm springs that is, no doubt a local secret, but which we happened across by just driving around the area. Probably the only down-side to our trip was that we never were able to get ahold of the owners during our stay, and so, were never able to get the password to the wifi network. But even that just ensured that our kids weren't going to spend the whole trip looking at a screen. It was a perfect vacation! 5 stars!!!!!

Great spring break visit

The property was gorgeous! My 7 and 3 yo enjoyed exploring the space and soaks 3x in the hot tub. The cabin fit our needs and was well equipped with kitchen supplies, games and blankets. A washer and dryer would be an excellent addition as well as a few info cards with heater and Wi-Fi instructions for those of us with no cell service. A big thank you to Wade for his hospitality.

Our Christmas at Bear Paw Den was amazing! The cabin is tucked away making it peaceful and quiet.

The Bear Paw Den was extremely clean...which for me is of highest priority! The cabin is decorated so cute and has a homey feel. I love the new master bedroom that was recently added, it is very spacious! Also the living room has tons of windows so you can enjoy the beautiful view. The view and the acres where you can roam freely are gorgeous. The fire pit and hot tub were an added bonus. We all enjoyed the fire pit and a few in our group partook of a soak in the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, utensils, etc... necessary to prepare our meals. Wade and Patricia are great people. Our daughter and son-in-law's puppy locked himself in one of the bedrooms and Wade was there in less than 10 minutes to unlock the door and rescue Rizzo! Our overall experience was positive and we would recommend Bear Paw Den as a peaceful, relaxing get-away!

The View!

Imagine getting to stand on the edge of a cliff overlooking a richly diverse vista any time you want, of hanging your hammock on the cliff's edge, lounge chairs on each of two cliffs are excellent for viewing the Milky Way and shooting stars. Oh, and star-gazing from the hot tub is delightful. Clean, comfortable and completely welcoming, the house had everything we needed and more. Mountain bluebirds were delightful in the meadows and wild turkey and deer grazed near the house. This rental is one we will long remember and come back to visit again.

Wonderful place to come "home" to after a busy day of sightseeing! Wade and Patricia were the perfect hosts. The home was clean and beautiful and our family really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit.

About the host

Hosted by Wade and Patricia Evans

Host profile image
We are a product of on online dating. Patricia moved from MN to the Northern Hills in 1979. Wade was born in Spearfish, but was living in Colorado, counting days until the next time he could get back the 'The Hills'.

Why they chose this property

When we found the property online, we fell in love with the house... and Wade the shop. But after we came to see it in person and walked to the cliff... well, it was just amazing. You have to see it in person to understand. Everyday, we tell our 3 dogs and 3 cats, 'we are going to the cliff' and we all take a hike together, stopping just to sit and look. Seems like every hike, we see something new, we never noticed before.

What makes this property unique

We want every guest to feel right at home and provide everything you could ever need. We treat our guests as family... that traveled from across the country and have what they need to relax and prepare for the best vacation possible. We know most families only get 1 or 2 vacations a year, we are very honored to be a part of that experience.
