About this property

HUNTER'S CABIN, Perfect in every way for your Black Hills getaway, near Custer

We have added Hunter's Cabin on the same property as Stockade Lake Cabin (VRBO #760445) is located. This makes the perfect addition to our already popular cabin when you are traveling with friends or family who need their own separate space and yet want to be near to share meals and good times. Perfect in every way.....Hunter's cabin is perfect size; large enough for two adults, yet smaller than the big cabin, and minus the tv, thus less costly to rent. Logistically to have more than two guests is difficult, unless a small child. With 480 square feet, it has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy, yet cozy for two. Perfect rustic luxury; new queen bed for a good night's sleep, full bath and kitchen, dining area with large windows to enjoy the views, cozy living area with a freestanding fireplace for those chilly evenings or rainy days which can occur at any time, and yet has electric heat to keep an even temperature of your choice. Perfect outdoor spaces; A covered porch across the front of cabin so you can sit out in all weather and enjoy watching deer and sometimes wild turkeys and even see Stockade Lake across the highway. There is an open patio area on other side off the kitchen with outdoor BBQ and seating area. And we have built a fire pit for your use with firewood, hot dog forks and cooking grate furnished. Hunter's cabin is brand new, but built to look like it has been here for a long time, and is nestled in among old-growth ponderosa pines which have been here likely 100 years or more. Perfect nest to return to after a day of fishing in lake, walking or biking on the bicycle path, also just across the road, or a sightseeing drive through Custer State Park with the entrance about 1500 ft up the road. Perfect headquarters for all your day trips through the hills to enjoy the endless points of interest, and only about a 20 minute drive to Mt. Rushmore. Perfect for those who truly want to bring a pet with them as they travel, as we allow one large dog or two small to medium sized pets. There is a modest pet fee charged at the time of booking.

Quiet homey cabin in the woods

The cabin was very nice and quiet for my stay. Roberta was a great host, she even brought some treats for my first night. I loved the location to everything I was planning to see. My only complaint was that there was a lot of moths that I could not get rid of, however I would stay again as this was a small issue.

The Cutest Lil Cabin!

Roberta’s cabin is absolutely gorgeous. It’s tucked back in the woods surrounded by beautiful pines. She was very welcoming when we met her during our stay! The cabin is perfectly suited for folks that enjoy some peace in the pines. We enjoyed our time drinking coffee, journaling, and playing mandolin on the front porch. It is the most quaint cabin with a wonderful woodsy feel. I’d highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a fun little getaway in Custer!

Hunters Cabin

We had the best time! From the moment we arrived Roberta made us feel at home. We had traveled 10 hrs., and it was so nice to have a few things available to snack on when we got there without having to run directly to the store. Double chocolate muffins. How can you go wrong. :) Roberta gave us some insight into things to see and, where it was good to eat. We wouldn't hesitate to go back!

Cozy cabin retreat

The Hunter's cabin was perfect for our needs. The property location made it so easy to explore Custer State Park, but was also very close to a grocery store in town. The cabin was furnished with every possible convenience and Roberta was very helpful and easy to work with. The setting could not be more beautiful. We woke up daily to birds serenading us. Although we didn't use all of them, this cabin came with a lot of great amenities; for example, it was reassuring to know that we could do laundry if need be.

Wonderful Cabin

Hunter's Cabin was the perfect size and location for our stay. It's close to Custer State Park which was a great plus for us. The cabin itself was so nicely put together and it was clear a lot of care goes into making sure the guests have everything they need. Roberta was so kind and the fresh homemade cinnamon rolls were phenomenal! We are already talking about making our way back to this cabin in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful & Convenient

My husband and I stayed at Hunter’s Cabin for 5 nights. The property is comfortable and quiet. The owner thoughtfully prepared the cabin, making it a home away from home. The location was perfect for our adventures in the area. We especially loved the fire pit (with wood provided) and watching deer.

Roberta made our stay very comfortable. She provided everything imaginable. Even bikes and kayaks were made available to us. The cabin was exactly as stated, and we immediately felt at home. She was very kind to provide directions to the property and explained everything we needed to know when we arrived. If we visit the area again, we will hope that Hunter's Cabin is available!
