Overview
Surrounded by National Forest , 3 miles to Custer State Park, 26 to Mt Rushmore
The address is 12677 OLEO DRIVE. 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.
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. A two night minimum stay is strongly encouraged but we are willing to work with you. Your reservation deposit is 1/2 of your stay with the balance due 30 days prior to arrival. There is a required $500 Vacation Rental damage security deposit . If the cabin is left in the same condition as when you arrive, the damage deposit will not be charged. If warranted due to damage or extra cleaning an itemized statement will be mailed to you along with the credit card charge for the repairs.
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.
We'd love to have you stay with us!
About 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.
Deb Streets purchased this cabin in 1948
What makes this cabin 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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Your tip about driving from here to Mt. Ruchmore via Iron Mt Rd was a highlite of the trip! Seeing all the wildlife at Custer SP near dusk was just great. Glad we didn't hit any! The stars-before the moon comes up-were spectacular. Thank you so much for being so accomodating.

Beautiful, quite retreat
My husband I spent three wonderful nights at the cabin. We were in the area for the Sturgis Rally. It was so nice to ride through the beautiful Black Hills and come back to this peaceful setting. Dave and Deb were wonderful hosts. Would love a repeat visit!
Great place to stay!!
We loved the cabin. Such and Beautiful property that they have. The cabin is very clean and so is the surrounding area. We enjoyed everything about South Dakota !!
The most picturesque and Tranquil VRBO we ever stayed at
Completely surrounded by National Forest, driving up to this place is driving through the wilderness to a bit of modern convenience and peace. While this part of the country is known for its pilgrimage of road trip vacationers, you can slip away to your own quiet natural reserve. Get away from the lines of cars in Custer State Park (amazing views of Bison by the way), or the many people stopping to take pictures of Mt. Rushmore, Needles, Crazy Horse, etc (you can see the Needles from your deck) and just relax after a long day of sightseeing.
The cabin is small, but it is well stocked and well described in the listing. And the owners are on site and EXTREMELY helpful if you need anything.
We would love to go back, just plan ahead as it books out pretty far in advance.
Wonderful & peaceful cabin
We loved our 3 night stay in this cabin! It was perfect for our family of 4. Our kids, ages 11 & 13 loved tge ladder & loft! We loved the view of the needles hwy & of the cows. Kids also loved the dog, cat & tire swing. My husband & I loved the gas grill & firepit. This cabin had everything we needed down to a lighter for the firepit & chopped wood ready to go. Highly recommend!!! Thank you for your hospitality, Deb!
As good as it gets!!!
We've stayed in many vrbo's and this one is top of our list! Not only is there so much to do in Custer State Park, the cabin made our trip that much more magical. Deb and Dave are amazing hosts. They are available if you need them. Libby the dog and the kitty my kids named Checkers were definitely a high light. If we ever return to Custer, this is where we will stay.
A perfect cabin nestled in Custer
We just left the cabin and had a wonderful time. Deb and Dave were wonderful and their property is absolutely amazing. My kids loved the loft and having their own special room. The location was perfect - 20 to 30 minutes from Mt Rushmore, Hot Springs etc. My favorite part was sitting outside the cabin and listening to the wind hit the beautiful trees. A vacation we will always remember!
Map
We are centrally located to Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Custer State Park, The Needles, Crazy Horse, Harney Peak, The National Wood Carvers Museum and the Mickelson Trail just to name a few. The cabin is sitting in the middle of several good lakes that you can fish, boat, or swim in including Sylvan Lake, Bismarck Lake, Center, and Stockade Lakes. There is wonderful hiking from the door of the cabin. The Paha Sapa trail is a short walk from the cabin. For those of you that are interested in fossils, The Woolly Mammoth Dig is 45 miles away in Hot Springs.

Additional information about rental rates
We are not charging a cleaning fee in hopes tenants will take good care of the cabin and leave it as clean as it was when they moved into the cabin. I have supplied a vaccum cleaner, and a variety of cleaning supplies for them to clean the cabin with before they leave.
Beginning January 1, 2015 our summer rate for June, July, and August will be $125 per night.
