About this property
Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome
This cabin was built by the owners and opened July, 2013. Much of the wood in the cabin came from the pine and aspen trees on our own land. All of the boards on the outside of the cabin were cut from Mountain Pine Beetle infested trees on our land. The loft ladder and railing we peeled from our trees. The bathroom vanity and medicine cabinet we built from aspen. The deck has a covered roof on it with lounge chairs and a grill. We have built a fire pit with benches next to the cabin for quests to enjoy and relax beside. We have plenty of fire wood for it on site. You can call me at Six 0 five, 5 one 7, one 7 nine 6. I am glad to answer any questions. We own 23 acres that is surrounded by National Forest Service Land. There is a creek running thru our land with a pond in it just below the cabin. The Norbeck Wildlife Refuge is just 100 yards from our property. We are approximately 3 miles from Custer State Park. You have a bird's eye view of the Needles from our drive way. We are located in the heart of the Southern Black Hill offering a wonderful base to explore all the Hills have to offer, but is also a perfect getaway for those searching for some peace and tranquility. There are many forest trails near the cabin that you can hike, bike, or ride horse on for all the exploration a heart could desire. Consumables are provided. We are NOT charging a cleaning fee although we hope all will leave the cabin as clean as you found it in hopes of preventing this fee. You pay one half of your stay when you reserve the cabin with the balance due 30 days prior to arrival.
Cancellation Policy: Re-scheduling your stay is always permissible without loss of deposit monies. Cancellations made 31 or more days prior to arrival will receive a refund of the deposit LESS $50.00 or 10% of the reservation whichever is more. If cancelled within 30 days of arrival the initial deposit will be forfeited. Partial deposit may be refunded if the property is re-rented. There will be NO refunds for no-shows, late arrivals, or early departures. Starting January 1, 2023 we are raising the rate to $140.00 per night. We'd love to have you stay with us! We allow dogs in our cabin with no charge but due to some abusing this, we have to set some rules. There is a limit of 2 dogs only. If dogs are going to left in the cabin unattended, they must be in a crate.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great cabin with great location to visit the Black Hills, Custer State Park, and Mt Rushmore. Hosts are great, and made us feel at home. Perfect location if you are traveling with pets as there is excellent area for them to safely get exercise.
The cabin was just perfect for the 2 of us and our dog, and the location in Custer State Park was just what we were looking for, in a weekend visit. The hiking trail on the property was a great surprise and the view was spectacular. Deb, our host, was so friendly and accommodating. We had a great time exploring the black hills, including the Custer Wildlife Trail and the Needles Highway.
Deb and Dave were the best hosts! Very friendly and attentive! The cabin has a beautiful view and convenient to many attractions! Our dog had just as much fun as we did, playing with hosts’ dogs and watching the cows. We can’t wait to go back!!!
Our stay was great. The cabin was lovely. The only issue was our check-in. The owner wasn’t aware of our booking so it made for a rocky start, but Deb was accommodating and polite. We enjoyed our quiet weekend.

Thank you Ashley.
You and I worked everything out like mature adults.
I am pretty upset with VRBO. They stopped sending me emails or texts a month ago of notifications of reservations, inquiries, and cancellations. I have no way of knowing somebody is coming to the cabin, have questions to ask, or have cancelled. I have tried now for 5 days to get ahold of a person to help me straighten this out and have had no luck. Maybe someone that can help me will read this.

Dream location!
My husband and I decided this was a perfect cabin-cozy, comfortable and clean. It was located far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the peace and quite seclusion we were looking for, yet close enough to town and the area attractions, we could pack our 2 days with sight seeing. Couldn't be happier with our stay!
A winding gravel drive leads back to this property surrounding by forest land for hiking. The views are fantastic and it is very quiet and peaceful. The owners live on the property and have great hospitality and friendly dogs, however, there is still good privacy. Great place for 2 adults or a family of 4 to stay and enjoy.
Fabulous stay. Cabin was nicely equipped, the land was very peaceful and away from everything. There is even a trail you can take around the property. Owner has little pugs that like most pugs love attention. Great for a family stay while visiting the area. Host Deb was excellent.
Close to town and attractions but also away from it all! Beautiful view and property, lots of wildlife too. We saw turkeys, deer, jack rabbits and indigo buntings on the road to the cabin. The hosts are fantastic and there if you have any questions. This place is a wonderful little getaway.
Our short stay went well. We were only there for 2 nights with our dog but found the property owner and her dogs very nice. There are four pugs who you'll likely see a few times during your stay, so be aware of your pets if you bring them. The main house where the property owner lives is just far enough away to provide privacy. Everything was clean and well kept.
We had a wonderful time. Couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting even with the rain. So relaxing, just what we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Deb, Dave and the puppies were so friendly and super to work with. I would definitely recommend this place.
Our stay was better than expected. Couldn't imagine someplace could be so quiet--absolute quiet. The cabin was remote but not too remote. The host was delightful, checked in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, made some small talk and was not intrusive. Host has three small dogs (pugs) who roam the property, but they are friendly--one sat with me for an hour one night on the porch swing--but they scatter if you tell them to. We also had two small dogs with us who I would call not social, but they got along well with the dogs too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet get away that is remote, but not way off the beaten path. If there was one draw back it was the miller moths, a small annoyance that goes with living in the woods--we learned after the first night not to leave doors open with a light on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Quaint Cabin in the Woods
This cabin is a cute cabin in the woods and the grounds surrounding the cabin are beautiful. Even though it's a cute & cozy cabin it needs some work. A thorough cleaning would be nice, we found a lot of dead moths in the upstairs loft. The front sliding glass door is not as secure as it could be and there is not a privacy blind, so you are a little exposed. Also, you need to know up front this cabin does not come with air conditioning and there are not any fans in the cabin (ceiling fan in living room). So if you get hot, like I do, you will need to make sure to bring some fans for your bedroom. We live in a big city and we don't sleep with our windows open, however, if you are fine sleeping with your windows open, then the bedroom will probably be cool enough. If you enjoy peace and quiet, and you don't care about having cable TV, then this is the cabin for you. Molly, is their pug bull dog and she is a total JOY!! We enjoyed seeing her every morning and every night!

We are sorry you did not enjoy your country experience. Perhaps you should stay in a hotel in a city next time. The profile states there is not air-conditioning or cable in the cabin. We do have millers in the country but they are cleaned up after each tenant. We hope the rest of your vacation was in the city and you enjoyed it.
We LOVED our time in this cabin. Deb and Dave are lovely hosts. They have adorable pugs that came to visit every morning, as well as puppies and kittens! What's not to love about that!? The location is off the beaten path and so peaceful and beautiful with cattle out front, a friendly steer we nicknamed Doug, a 2 mile hiking path, and a field filled with Elk the night we arrived! The air conditioner is a box unit in the window over the sink, but it kept the cabin cool so long as we left it on when we left for the day. Super great location. Just a 15-20 minute drive to Sylvan Lake with easy access to 16A which gets you to Iron Mountain Road, as well as the Wildlife Loop. We really loved our stay and will miss that spot of heaven.
The Cabin was a great place to relax after exploring Custer and surrounding areas. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. It had everything we needed. Deb was a wonderful host, very easy to reach and accommodating.

About the host
Hosted by Deb Streets
We live on the property and will be pleased to help you in any way we can. The land has been in the Streets family since 1948. Dave was born and raised on this land. I was born and raised 95 miles north of here. We are enjoying meeting the tenants as much as they are enjoying our little hide-a-way at the end of the Forest Service Road.
What makes this property unique
For us this place is our little piece of Heaven. We are a short 6 miles out of town. It is so relaxing to come home at the end of the Forest Service Road and get away from the hustle, bustle, and noise of town. We can sit on the deck and watch deer, wild turkey, elk, and listen to many different birds.
