About this property

Historic Log Cabin In Spearfish Canyon - Sleeps 4 - Pet Friendly - Elkhorn!

4 People – 2 Bedrooms – 1 Queen – 2 Twin – ¾ Bath

Welcome to Elkhorn, a true historic log cabin built in the late 1930s and updated over the years for a comfortable Black Hills getaway. Located in Spearfish Canyon, Elkhorn is part of Wickiup Cabins, a 20-cabin village on 5 acres on Spearfish Creek. This is considered a 4-person cabin and sits near the kids play area and the fire pit. It has a queen bed in the main cabin area and a pair of twins in the enclosed screened sleeping porch. It has a kitchenette, WIFI, bathroom, gas fireplace for heat, all bed linens, towels and basic cookware. Never miss a morning coffee with a coffee pot, coffee and filters supplied in your cabin. Outside, enjoy a picnic table and charcoal grill. Leave home with food and clothing, Wickiup has the rest. Pet Policy: We're happy to welcome dogs at Elkhorn. Dogs must be leashed anytime they are outside the cabin, and we ask that guests clean up after them and be considerate of nearby guests. If your dog is left alone in the cabin, please kennel them if they may become anxious or could damage anything. If a dog is barking, crying, or disturbing other guests while unattended, we may need to contact you to return to the cabin. Pet fee: $25 per dog, per day, with a two-dog maximum.

I was a little nervous at first, because our stay was during the motorcycle rally in the Black Hills. Everything turned out great! The property was clean and the people were so friendly. The location was perfect. We were able to see and enjoy many of the sites that the Black Hills have to offer. Both my husband and I agreed we would go back to the same place in a heartbeat!
