About this property

Hand-hewn Log Cabin on 7 acres, only 2 mi to heart of Hill City

The cabin no longer has a hot tub as seen in some of the pictures and the virtual tour.

Marshall Gulch Getaway is an authentic hand-hewn log cabin overlooking a serene valley on 7 acres just 2 miles outside of Hill City. A mountain creek flows within view below the cabin. Deer and turkeys are frequent visitors in the yard! The cabin is tastefully decorated with décor fitting the mountain atmosphere. This cozy cabin has a king size log bed in the loft, and a double bed on the main floor bedroom. We allow a max of 4 adults in this rental. If a third sleeping area is needed for a child, you may bring an air mattress and necessary linens. The kitchen is spacious for a family of 4-5.

There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo and laundry accommodations with washer and dryer. The loft bedroom has a window AC. Board games and playing cards available for rainy or snowy days. There is a 47-inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room, along with a real wood burning fireplace! (And electric heat throughout). We supply a starter supply of firewood, and you can purchase extra at a local grocery store.

The covered front porch is a favorite of guests to sit and watch the wildlife and let the day slip away. Around back is patio with a Gas Log fire-pit that has plenty of outdoor seating to have your morning coffee, outdoor meals, or just sit and watch wildlife. A propane grill is also provided. This cabin sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking the valley below with views of Black Elk Peak. But, the drive to this cabin is a piece of cake and parking is plentiful. Large grassy lawn with plenty of space to roam. This rental is a time-honored favorite for repeat guests.

NO PETS/NO SMOKING. NO TENTS or additional people camping outdoors! No exceptions!

Centrally located in the Black Hills, about 15-20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park, Sheridan, Pactola and Deerfield lakes and the majority of all attractions!

About the host

Hosted by David and Teresa

Host profile image
We are a hard working couple who love having time to relax and get away in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Disappearing in the forest for hours on end has become a hobby. Hill City won our hearts when we were looking for a property of our own and we have adopted it as our second hometown. We have had this property since 2012 and have enjoyed sharing its magic with all our guests. It feels miles away from the hustle and bustle and is the perfect place for doing absolutely nothing. But, it is only 2 miles from downtown Hill City and only minutes from all the major Black Hills attractions. We are thrilled to welcome you as our guests!
